You might be right, Wenger might be switching them to a 4-3-3 because he feels they have more CM's (Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Diaby) than natural DM's (Song and Frimpong). That way he could avoid having to purchase a midfielder and spend just on defenders. I don't like it though and definitely think they're better off with a 4-2-3-1 (with a 4-3-3 I think Van Persie and the wingers as well are too isolated at the top of the pitch). The 4-2-3-1 enables the CAM (Ramsey or Wilshere) to sit right with the wingers and forward and gives the team more room for creation. The two DM's (or CM's) sitting behind them can disrupt play well in the middle. The alternative is having two CM's sitting either too far behind the front three, resulting in not enough creation, or too far forward, leaving the lone DM to chase around balls in the midfield (Coquelin vs. ManU). Also, in the 4-3-3 I feel like the two CM's might get in each other's way, whereas in the 4-2-3-1 the CAM has free reign. This would be great for developing Ramsey/Wilshere and Fabregas really excelled in that role. What a shame he left, should have given them one more year and helped ensure they finished top 4. It's not like he's good enough to play in Barca's midfield anyway.

I bet he's worth much more than that, not to mention any team selling to Arsenal will double their prices thanks to the ManU result. He's very good but not the right player, they need an LB, DM, possibly a CB, and a midfielder who can play in the middle and out wide before they go for a mid who would only play as a CAM. They already have Ramsey and Wilshere playing the CAM position, and they'd only need Pjanic IF Arsenal is switching to a 4-3-3, which I hope they aren't (see above).
Agreed with everything. Well put.
Nope, no he isn't.
Torres thrived under his crossing/passingBenayoun and Chamberlain don't even play in the same position or the same role, what are you on about.
HE'S AVAILABLE?! OPEN YOUR EYES WENGER! HIM OR MARTIN!.
But when fit he is better than your current injury prone players.
I'm not disputing that, I rate Benayoun. But with the amount of injury prone players we currently have, we don't need another one to add to the injury table, its ridiculous.
With the amount of money we "appear" to have, we could get a higher calibre player.
No ****
I'm on about when Wilshere/Walcott etc come off with 10 minutes to go Benayoun gets time instead of Alex or another player who actually has a future at the club.
But thats the point, can they get these players?? At the moment Arsenal are at rock bottom and alot of players who might have wanted to join Arsenal may be put off. Plus they wont break the wage budget for anyone so you cant bring in world class players if you arnt willing to pay world class wages.
Lol, don't even suggest that players out there who would have been happy to join Arsenal before the first 3 games of this season wouldn't be willing anymore. Totally ridiculous.
Benayoun wouldn't block Chamberlain since they don't play in the same position, as I said.
They're both versatile midfielders, Benayoun would get minutes from the bench that may have gone to Chamberlain, as I said.
Were did i say Arsenal FC were gone??? All im saying is that some players may be put off with the recent activity and with the clubs tight wage structure it will be hard to get the top players to come to Arsenal.
