Oh I definitely think our midfielders prime locations are

-------Ozil/Rosicky------
-Arteta/flamini--Ramsey/Wilshere--

listed as first choice/sub and obviously the Arteta/Flamini are holding/defensive and jack/rambo are box to box.

I completely agree, but all our players need to learn how to play together as a midfield pair. When we played Jack and Rambo together for the first time we got worked by Aston Villa simply because they hadn't figured out who should go forward at what times. With Flamini and Arteta, we shouldn't have that problem, as Arteta is a naturally offensive player who has changed his game since his many injuries to become a superb CM. He can still offer a lot going forward, and he is the only player we have at those deep positions who can actually thread through balls from deep, a la young Cesc.

Hopefully during the season we see all those pairs play together, as you never know who will be paired up considering our injury history.
