The former Lille man had a standout season last term, even more effective than in his previous campaign when he helped Rudi Garcia's side to their first domestic title in over 50 years.

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

You might think that this makes Roma more likely to challenge for the title than Arsenal next season, but when you see that they were a massive 17 points off Juventus in the table and that this was the same situation and same points tally as the previous season, you can see why Arsenal might be tempting to the defender.

Giroud isn't worried about Lucas perez because he probably knows that Wenger will be playing Lucas on the wing, more often than not, since he is officially an attacking midfielder And when you add that to Wenger's previous statements of Sanchez being moved into the strikers position for this season, aswell as keeping Walcott in that role too, it brings sense to Giroud's comments.

They done so by the skin of their teeth in previous seasons, but last season Bolton finished a clear nine points above the drop, with the teams results definitely improving in the second half of the season under new manager Owen Coyle, so there were promising signs from the Reebok club that they can do a lot better than they for the most part last term, when positive form was almost non-existent and despite some valiant and brave efforts against some classy opponents they just couldn't convert their courageous performances into points which would have propelled them up the Premier League and into a more respectable finishing position.
