re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

He definitely had some quality moments, but his all around game is a bit overshadowed and overrated due to those "highlights."

Arsenal need to add a holding midfield presence that can compliment Ramsey, as I assume he is the preferred choice in the other midfield role. If that is the case, an athletic defensively committed and positionally aware player would be the way to go.

The first name that comes to mind is Pogba, but that is beyond wishful thinking. Luiz Gustavo from Bayern was a good shout. Other people seem to like the Bender brothers, but I am not that high on them..yet. I think Axel Witsel, off playing in Russia, could be a good fit (I saw him a little at Porto and with Belgium) but that would be an experiment. João Moutinho is a guy that would be a good fit, though he doesn't bring the physicality that Arsenal would surely appreciate.
