..................Szcez
Jenk.........Per.........Kos........Gibbs/Monreal
..................Arteta
...................Jack
.....Theo.......... Cesc..............Santi
................Higuain/Giroud
Fabianski; TV5; new RB for cover; Monreal (or Gibbs); new CB/DM combo for cover(a.k.a. Wanyama); Ramsey; Rosicky; Ox; Giroud (Higuain); Podolski; Sanogo
Only hesitation is at LB (both players basically at the same level) and at CF, given that Giroud's physicality will help at times. (And yes, I prefer Higuain to Jovetic, but we will get one of the two, not both). Arteta is the perfect holder/base of midfield for us. More disciplined than Song ever was. Tough on the main, breaks up play, and functions as a deep lying organizer. Pirlo with fangs
So, three big transfers for less than our our 70m. Cesc (30m), Higuian (20m) (or Jovetic) and Wanyama (12m), plus a right back as cover if Sagna goes (recycle his transfer fee). Maybe a back up keeper if Fabianski leaves (one year elft on contract). Sanogo on a free.
ith than team, we would win the Prem.
