A bit left field but I'd try Kos in the middle now.

[The Tony]

Alongside Arteta and Santi.

His all action style maybe better suited to the midfield. That's the area where we need to improve muscle wise. Good passer, good reader, good tackler, well rounded, can bring the ball out and play. Worth a shot on the left hand side of a midfield 3:


Santi
Arterta
Kos

Give Wilshere a free attacking role with Giroud and Walcott up front.

[One Wilf Copping]

That's what some people (including myself) are saying about Vermaelen too. It all smacks of desperation really.

Inconsistent declining central defender shifted to solve another problem in a position (defensive midfield) where the manager sees no problem and no gap to fill.
