Whatever tho new contract or not it's not like we're in a position where were relying on him anymore we've got plenty of great midfield players. (justarsenal.com)
Other big clubs have great midfielders within that age bracket, its all about keeping him fit. (justarsenal.com)
We have got potentially great midfielders in their positions, Ozil as the no. 10 (already seen his accurate passing and vision in first season), Ramsey as the B2B midfielder (he does seems worse when out of form but he can be great when he is at his best), Wilshere as the deep lying playmaker (depends whether he can pull it out or not otherwise B2B at best), possibly a new young DM can be fitted.
