Gibbs

Wilshere wont take the Cesc formation. He will play deeper and will play like Arteta has played. Diaby will be the new Cesc. He has better dribbling ability, better shot and can pass better.

Pete pls, Diaby isnt ready for that role, need someone who can play the killer pass, release the ball quickly when we are on the attack.

dont get me wrong i rate Diaby big time, just dont think his ready for that role, needs to play injury free for a while, prove his value to the team. Plus i think his much more effective coming from deep, once he starts running and gliding throu midfield, he can link with Wilshire and RVP/.

But Wilshere released the ball quickly and Song can play that killer pass. Diaby won't be a replacement for Cesc but he will be something different. We've been playing to Cesc's strengths for the last 3 or 4 seasons and it hasn't paid off. I'm not saying it is his fault because he has always been our best player but maybe it is time to try something different, instead of having a magician in midfield, put in a powerhouse who can run past people for fun and create space for everybody around him.

Im meant Diaby has better dirbbling, passing and shooting than Wilshere

ohhh ok makes more senes.. not sure on the passing thou!!!!

Seriously, when did Diaby suddenly become the best player in the world? I like him too but he's getting seriously overrated by some people lately.

Anyway, I do think Wenger sees Wilshere as the most attacking midfielder. It's where he played for the youth setup afaik. Wenger stuck him in a slightly more defensive position last season partly to teach him how to play a more disciplined role, partly because we had Cesc, and partly because injuries meant he had very little choice.

But the whole idea behind our midfield is that the players are versatile and can interchange positions. That's why Song gets forward a lot and pops up with so many assists for example.

Forgiven.

Gibbs is a future captain for me.

Intelligent player with excellent positioning sense. Whats more he stays calm under extreme pressure. For me, he is far ahead of Ashley Cole at the same age.

"Seriously, when did Diaby suddenly become the best player in the world? I like him too but he's getting seriously overrated by some people lately."



Even if by some miracle he does stay fit I just can't see him being effective in that AM position, he holds on the ball for far too long and he doesn't have the vision or passing required to play that role. If Wenger doesn't sign an ACM then Rosicky has to be first choice next season.

Knowing Wenger he is going to make Ramsey first choice again next season.

Gibbs is brilliant.
