I have a box of programmes in my office.
Picked one out, v Borussia Dortmund Nov 2014.
amongst our midfield ranks we had.
Rosicky
Arteta
Gnabry
Wilshere
Ox-Chamb
Ramsey
Sanchez
Cazorla
Diaby
[and peakish Ozil]
I reckon they could all still do a better job, on the creativity front, than the current crop.
granted, we also had Walcott, Iwobi, J Campbell, Zelalem...
