Wow.


Just imagine that entire team staying healthy. I can't see how anyone couldn't favor a healthy Arsenal. Problem is, it never happens.

Also, you guys can easily win the league w/o Suarez if Sturridge stays healthy and you ever decide to upgrade your backline.


Sturridge played very well without Suarez. Sterling and Studge can read each other's thoughts. But without a back line (and we won't have one come season start), we can't score enough to keep up. I don't see it happening.

theo - 9 PL starts
rambo - 20 PL starts
jack - 19 PL starts
Ox - 6 PL starts

lots of room for improvement with even a modest improvement in injury issues to star players. adding sanchez only lessens the likelihood we lose all the pace in our attack (which was probably our key issue last season IMO). definitely think we'll be in it.

also, suarez is great. but you can still make a few purchases and make that offensive machine just a tad less productive AND improve the back line.

Yep.

Arsenal's mid field will be stacked, if we sign a CDM. Bender or Khedira would be great.

Either of those two.. Ramsey, Ox, Cazorla, Ozil, Wilshere, Rocsisky, Arteta, Flamini and the wild card of a healthy Diaby.

That is a ton of depth and a ton of talent.

With any sort of continuity, Arsenal would have had a real shot last season. Injuries are always a part of the game, but I can't remember ever seeing a team decimated so badly. I mean, it was tough when the Saints lost all their running backs in the 2010 season, but that didn't come close to what Arsenal experienced last year.
