Lineup for Next Season?



With all this talk of who's coming in and who's rumored to be going out I'd like to take a look and try to figure out realistically what our best XI will look like come seasons start. By all accounts it appears the Nasri deal will be done at some point, and I also feel the Hleb is inevitably going to leave. The Guiza and de la Red rumors have picked up some steam and they appear to have some validity to them. So I am going to attempt to pick a lineup that I personally would love to see next year at the Emirates.


van Persie ........ Adebayor



Rosicky ......... Fabregas ........ Ya Ya Toure .......... Nasri



Clichy ...... Gallas ....... Toure ...... Sagna



Almunia



Granted this depends on the health of Rosicky, and on any given day Walcott could get a run at either of the outside midfield positions, and Eduardo will hopefully be able to fill in for RVP or Adebayor if needed. It will be interesting to see how Vela does as well. I would not mind seeing an addition in the form of Vincent Kompany, who can play center back, as well as in the center of the midfield. However, it is more likely that a player like Trochowski would come in for 5 million rather than a Ya Ya Toure who is priced at over 10. Then again, there is that lingering rumor of landing Ya Ya through a switch with Hleb. That seems the more likely possibility if he is going to land at the Emirates and getting Ya Ya would greatly diminish my anguish over the loss of Flamini.
