re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

This has been a confusing season and AW is directly to blame for a lot of these horrendous losses. Koscielny and Mertesacker are an interesting case, I think Mert truly is a great CB but Koscielny really seems so hot or cold. Mert's pace kills him and really negates the ability to have a high line especially with no real ability for any DMs on the squad to also cover.

Arsenal simply have too many 10s and the links to Draxler really confuse me. Did Arsene ever really come out and say they looked at him with a CF conversion in mind? If Arsenal do get Draxler that would mean Ozil, Cazorla, Draxler, Rosicky and Jack to an extent are all natural 10s. That's too many and that doesn't work. Santi is amazing at his best but I really think a true LW who can stretch the field would accentuate the abilities of Ozil along with a new ST and Walcott on the right. I would love to see a dual bid for Fernando and Mangala out of Porto but Porto love to squeeze every penny out of their players.
