Agree Wilshere doesn't play in the same position as Ramsey, Ramsey plays slightly deeper, but obviously when it comes to a 'young prospect' you can't fit them all in the team/bench! We've obviously got a world class midfield, but we really do need to get back to performing well against the top sides (as we've usually had a strong record against them beyond perhaps the last two seasons). Sunderland won't be a very stern test, but for an away game with a coach who likes to organise his team it'll be a sharp climb-down from the 6-0. If we win it I'll be more than happy though, but in previous years I've learnt to be wary of "a good bet for 3 points" as an Arsenal fan
And yes, if we get RVP back, I'll be sorry to lose Chamakh to the bench as he looks brilliant. I support Barca so obviously I love watching keep-ball,
so seeing how Chamakh drops deep and creates space for the inside forwards is wonderful stuff. As much as I love RVP's wonder strikes of course, he doesn't have the same physicality to hold the ball which is invaluable. Obviously this is early days and I'll make a proper judgement when Chamakh has played half a season, ideally we could play both but I don't see it working given the quality of the midfield.
