Yeah the Wilshere thing really bugs me because Wenger literally just said (about 2 days ago) he rushed him back too fast for the Norwich game... yet starts him again 3 days later?
Gnabry reminds me a lot of the Ox also (random tidbit of the day!)

I'd really like to see a Ramsey-Wilshere axis with Cazorla or Rosicky in front of them. Arteta lacks mobility in a real significant way, and with Ramsey's inability to dribble past people from deep, we could use Wilshere's dribbling from deeper in the park. Arteta has played really well for us since he came, but I can't see him or Rosicky playing for more than one season with us. We need mobility, passing ability, and defensive awareness, and Arteta, being played out of position as he is, isn't mobile enough to suit the way we want to play the game. This lack of mobility is highlighted by the fact that Ramsey and Wilshere have amazing stamina, and run all day.
I also don't think Giroud is playing well enough to pencil him as a starter every game. He's just really profligate. I also really don't like the way Podolski plays on the left. He and Gibbs have a good partnership, but the problem is that Podolski never makes runs to get behind the defense, save for the rare occasion he moves around the box. His movement is more indicative of a false 9 than it is of a winger or a wide forward.
