second pairing — better since we didn't have a pair last year 6) DM — better as Arteta is now back up and Coquelin should get even better 7) Box to box — better if you think Ramsey and Wilshire still have room to improve and are still being kept
out by Carloza 8) LW — better, Sanchez might not get too much better but Welbeck is an improvement on Podolski 9) RW — same if Theo moves up front but Ox and Gnabry have lots of room to improve 10) CAM — same 11)

second option but with Le Coq in this form doubt he would play better than him I would go all
out for Cech he wants to leave and stay in london, he would bring leadership and command in the box a briliant keeper at 32 could become the next lehmann
Alexis in his
second season after a freakishly brilliant start, Ozil coming in to consistent form at the end of his
second season, Coq now with a proper body of work under his belt and a whole summer to work on it, Bellerin with his first season jitters
out of his system, Giroud finally realising he might be a pretty decent
