Song isn't a true DM.
He thinks he's a deep lying playmaker and he did pick up a lot of assists last season (10+) but he is also caught out of position and on a number of goals we conceded he wasn't doing what should be his main job of protecting the defence.
There's a good argument to be made that, especially when Arteta isn't in, he should be the second man, and not the main DM.
M'Vila (who most likely isn't coming) + Song + Wilshere would be a solid midfield, think Milan away.... we lacked a true Gilberto figure in there to fukk attacks up.
Ramsey was dire this season, Frimpong needs a season out on loan to learn, Coquelin is still developing. Rosicky is cool, but his fitness is always a question and Arteta is obviously a great player but could benefit from not being expected to play every single game.
A bit of competition for places would be welcome and you also need a squad to challenge on all fronts, plus injuries and suspensions... we were light in the centre of midfield last year and this showed when Arteta was out.
We had the full back crisis, but that was more a freak thing... you don't expect 6 full backs to be injured at one time.... centre mids, you can realistically have 2 or 3 out (especially when one is Diaby)

Scorcher will want him sold to Southampton or something.

Wrong job for Brendan. He should stay at Swansea for another year and wait for a better job.
Welcome to modern football
You're still playing 442.
Kagawa is in for a shocker.

Won't judge him until he's 22/23. He's got time.

We're not Arsenal, you're not going to learn on the job with us.
He needs to go the Bertrand route and get some football under his belt. Southampton wouldn't be a bad shout.

Word, Chelsea does have this history of success with youth development. Seems that they have it down to a science.We're not Arsenal, you're not going to learn on the job with us.
