So with a fully fit squad, at least one of Podolski, Theo, Wilshere, Flamini and Rosicky

[Monty91]

won't even make the bench :yikes:

[the splendor of antigone]

and get Gnabry properly involved.

We are literally bursting at the seams, Geoff.

There will be departures.

Surely he should be more useful by now? I reckon I got a dud.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Boa Morte

[Ben.]

or you think we'll get another striker instead of Giroud?

[Ben.]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Giroud starts but has actual pressure for his place now.

I do have a pair of red & white Gazelles which I am now going to refer to as my Chilean trainers.

No point in losing all sense of decorum.

from Martinez in goal and Miquel and Vermaelen at centre half

[slow&low]

Another new Chilean signing?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I might actually pass out now if we sign Khedira as the quite strong media stories are running.

There will I suspect be 1-2 casualties but that's okay, it is how football operates. My buck is on the Spaniard who is simply too good to not play every week.

[Ben.]

not sure how it will play out though.

Am I alone in thinking Khedira isn't a defensive midfielder?

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Or as a no.10 if Özil is rested/injured. Still think it will be Podolski if anyone.

[devongunner]

where we have three or four world class midfielders (attacking or otherwise). Gives us options. Chelsea seem to have fair few similar midfielders and however we may hate them they have been right up there the last few years, UK and Europe.

I just want them all including Cesc :-)

[Brentwood]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Least I would expect is the 40m and 30m singings to play 9 games out of 10.

When fit I would think Theo plays as well though things have changed there a little as our previous reliance on him for pace is no longer.

My thoughts re Cazorla are that he is just too good to not be playing as often as the above so if it is true that he is wanted by Athletico, and his less than commital comments in Brazil, then it's a brilliant move for him.

Of course the whole thing falls apart when players x and y are injured for periods of the season.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Or at a show.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Never thought I'd see the day we actually buy ready made world class players :cloud9:

[Luis Anaconda]

not least that Santi signed a contract extension recently. Poldi more likely to lose value

[Luis Anaconda]

though. Arsene does like to be a tease

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

f**k me.
