Isco is a No. 10, no?

Is Wenger betting on two of Ramsey-Wilshere-Ox being the pivot of the future?

I know it's just talk, but I would think we'd be linked to a CM at some point, instead of continually seeing us linked with similar players.

I wonder if Sanogo can be an Ox type of buy. I seem to remember there being some backlash against Wenger buying "another" young talent when the side needed a proven player, but Ox is the guy I'm most excited about in our squad for the future.

Maybe Sanogo can develop into that same kind of striker.

I hope. He looks like a beast, and played rather well against 'Pool and 'Munich, two of the better sides in Europe.

I really hope we ship out Podolski this summer. He's a luxury player for us who really doesn't fit our system. I like him, but if he doesn't score he's had a pretty poor game. If he could start playing on the wing like he did last season, that would be awesome. I remember in the West Ham game he had 1 goal and 4 assists, and he was awesome. He once would go towards he touch line, but not anymore. He wants to be involved in the intricate build-up play but he literally can do nothing but finish from the middle. That's fine, but he doesn't get into good positions.

I wish we would get a big DM this summer, a real anchor who would could pass, and defend, which was we need from that position. What I want is the rare DM/DLP hybrid, and those types of players, like Ramsey, are actually better up the field closer to goal. It's a hard combo to find.

Yeah, but he's far more flexible than Mesut and is certainly capable of scoring, in addition to providing.

I think that he'd fit in pretty well. More plug and play at Arsenal than Mesut.
