Fellow Gunners, new season is upon us!
After watching the F. [C.] Koln game, I was very excited to see how much more depth we had than last year. With the addition of Cazorla and the return of Diaby, our midfield looks quite strong. Giroud and Podolski both looked quite solid and if RVP stays, then our attacking power maybe second only to mancity. Some of our players are still out injured including Sagna and Wilshere so we might get to see more of youngsters including Yennaris at RB.
------------------Tex------------
Yennaris----Kos---Ver----Gibbs
-------------------Song---------------
Walcott------Cazorla-----------AOC
---------rvp? ----------Giroud

I think if RVP does leave, then Podolski will play behind Giroud

Personally I think that if rvp isn't sold before saturday, he'll start on the bench, no use playing someone who wants to leave.

4-3-3 line up:

Kos - ver - merts - gibbs

I put Wilshere in reserves as I don't know how quickly he will recover....

Players like Ramsey/Rosicky/Santos/Mertesacker will be effective in both teams as squad depth.
