Arsenal may have «shot themselves in the foot» (as Wenger said) by not being ready for our first two League games but with the campaign restarting in earnest next week, we should have a fully
fit squad firing on all cylinders when we play Southampton next weekend.
But when people are saying we should sign X-player who contributed well last season while playing every single game for «depth» sure, on paper it looks great, but a lot of players hit patches of form that may not necessarily be given that opportunity here, as there may be someone else in the
squad who hits the ground running and contributes straight away... If Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini, Wilshere, Ramsey, AOC, Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky are all
fit and
firing, I think you're sorely mistaken if you think anything but a truly world - class midfielder would be looking at those names and not potentially evaluating their first - team opportunities.
A
fit and
firing Ramsey is one of the few players in the current Arsenal
squad that I can see getting anywhere near the next award, assuming that the former Barcelona forward continues to play the way he has been doing.
