central midfield before the start of next
season.
Our
central midfield area is still a little weak if we are relying on Coquelin / Cazorla staying fit the whole
season and playing twice a week sometimes, we need a 3rd
central midfielder who is defensively minded.
Granit Xhaka was added to our
midfield ranks but has so far failed to nail down a regular first - team role, while Santi Cazorla being in his final
season of his contract could lead you to want extra oomph to our
central positions.
Although most Arsenal fans would still like to see Arsene Wenger spend good money in the transfer market on an experienced and top class
central midfielder like Morgan Schneiderlin, we do not seem too concerned about the boss waiting until the summer and giving young Coquelin the chance to keep strutting his stuff for the rest of the
season.
I see that Wenger is trying to try new things by assigning Sanchez the
central forward / attacking
midfielder this

Chelsea
central midfield was better than ours last
season because they defended, tackled and intercepted faaaar better than we did!
Yes he could be alot better at finishing, but let's see, maybe we got a new sturridge... What I am mad on Wenger about is not so much the lack of a proven striker to our ranks... No it's that we haven't bought a
central defender to cover, but most important, we haven't bought a defensive
midfielder, that we need so much!!? Wenger makes the same mistakes over and over, everybody else can see it, just not him... hmm: / but still lets respect him as a man and judge when we are atleast half way into the
season... COYG!!!!

midfielder, a
central defender is arguably next at the top of his to - do list as he looks to rebuild the spine of a team that finished 10th in the Premier League last
season and is short of options at the back with John Terry, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma arguably not enough.
Chambers would have been playing the holding
midfield / 3rd
Central Defender Role (Its still beats me how and why wenger didn't even try Vermaleen in that role — his cautious attitude is one of Arsenals biggest albatros) If Arsenal had started playing Joel Campbell on the flanks since the beginning of the
season, when it was obvious Carzola was misfiring, Campbell will be getting used to the league by now and will have been chipping in with the odd goals time and again - but NO Arsene will stick with Carzola and even play him in the wings thereby putting pressure on gibbs because he lack the discipline to stay there and will rather keep roaming to the certain.

The Arsenal transfer rumours about Jack Wilshere and a possible move to play for our old rivals Manchester United are still in the embryonic stage, as reported by Metro, but with the Gunners already having more options in the

A goalkeeper,

As tough as it may be, if Wenger manages to sign a world - class defensive
midfielder and a world - class
central defender in January and add more stability to the side, it will make for a really good foundation for the team to be much stronger next
season.
So an almost constantly injured
central midfielder who did not score a single Premier League goal for his loan club Bournemouth last
season and managed just five and five assists with Arsenal in the two previous campaigns is the reason we are not even going to try to sign a player who banged in 17 and provided 11 assists from a wide forward position in one
season with Leicester.
Whilst Pogba is one of the finest young players in world football and almost perfectly suited to the needs of Arsenal in
central midfield, there has to be a feeling that tracking the highly rated Juventus man over Khedira could prove to be a suicidally optimistic move, with Khedira likely to be available on a bargain deal due to the fact that his contract expires at the end of the
season.
It could also be viewed as a superb piece of business by Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, as Vidal is regarded as one of the best
central midfielders in Europe at the moment and proved his quality last
season as he scored seven goals and registered four assists en route to Juve being crowned champions of Italy once again.
Because, according to a Daily Star report which claims to have a Premier League footballer as its source, the deal that is apparently done between Arsenal and Schneiderlin will not happen until the end of the
season and that leaves the fans wondering how we will cope in
central midfield between now and then, especially now that we are hearing some rumours that our club captain Mikel Arteta may have suffered a setback and will be on the injury list for a few more weeks.

central midfield options next
season are Vidal, Coquelin, Arteta, Jack, Ramsey, santi and ozil just that one addition would give us one of the best
midfields a in the world.
Francis Coquelin is another who broke into the first - team a few
seasons back, and looked like he was going to be the latest player to prove Wenger right for sticking with him for so long, but he is my least favourite
central midfielder to start currently.
something new for sure will happen at the very least we will be getting new players the question being who...... a striker with 30 goals abomyang a
central defender a
midfielder new maneger who diago simone will do well with atlatico or lazio he is connected to them arsenal needs some one within its ranks some one connected to them But today we seen an ugly encounter were certain players should have had the red i think technology should come in to it and players should be disciplined after The premier league is a physical strong competition to win it you got to be very strong very accurate and very demanding and if you do not have the team to do it you do not win our team didn't live to exceptions of last

Midfield role for the Gunners, rather than being stuck out wide as he was for much of last
Midfield role for the Gunners, rather than being stuck out wide as he was for much of last
season.
With 24 appearances in
central midfielder last
season, perhaps the 25 - year - old could be considered a replacement to the under - performing Fernandinho at the Etihad.
Cazorla is an amazing player and owns
central midfield when he plays Even if Cazorla plays half the
season or one third of the
season, he is still worth having because of his quality.
Cazorla was mostly a winger or an attacking
midfielder but Wenger moved him to the
central midfield, and his influence in any Arsenal game is so vital nowadays that him missing in the side is believed to have lost Arsenal the Title in 2015/16
season won by Leicester City.
A move for Delph would make sense on a number of levels for Liverpool, with the former Leeds United man set to be available on the cheap in January as his contract expires at the end of the
season, whilst he is also the sort of enterprising, creative
central midfield player who could excel in Brendan Rodgers»
midfield.
And the Gunners have been strongly linked with a transfer move for the 27 - year old, but with Arsene Wenger seemingly happy with his attacking options, at least for now, and the squad desperately needing cover in the areas of

midfielder than ozil as he consistently gave you double digits in goals...
season in and out and still created chances.
To be honest if we did not get Xhaka we would still be good in
Central Midfield BUT last
season we lost Coquelin and Cazorla so our CM is one of the best in the League with Xhaka, Cazorla, Coquelin, Ramsey, Eleney, Ozil.
I hope we don't stop there, and get a top - quality creative
central midfield to take - over from Cazorla, so this team can really challenge for the title next
season.
The good news for Arsenal fans from last night's Euro 2016 semi-final between Wales and Portugal is that we can now rest assured that the
central midfield star Aaron Ramsey has come through the tournament without picking up an injury of any kind and so will be fit and ready to help Arsenal when the new
season kicks off in about a month.

@TH14atl the list of the players you gave me were players who were naturally
central midfielders but could play in cmf position and you also gave me no 10's who could also play cmf so i do not get your take.However did you see that they were being played in their best positions.I am also against Ramsey on the wing but i will not be blinded by the fact that if he should be put in box to box role he will be better than santi in that role.But from what you said i think we might just sell cant we.Have you forgotten the man utd match last
season where peeps were like O!
