Agreed, we need a true DM as we still looked vulnerable to the counter yesterday.
Whilst I would love a DM and a striker the priority for me right now has to be a CB. There is no way we could manage a whole season with koscielny and mertesacker as our two CB's with Chambers as back up for CB and RB. 6 defenders for 4 positions doesn't cut the mustard.
I personally felt light with only 3 recognised CB's last year we were lucky with injuries at CB last year. Sanga did well for the very few games he played at CB.
Interesting topic and a question I always ask myself at the start of the season and usually get wrong! Anyway here are my two cents.
Firstly I personally don't think Walcott should be on the list. The last season he had being fully fit (2012/13) Walcott scored 21 goals and contributed 16 assists in all competitions. That put him amongst the best in Europe (for that season) for the wide forward position. Of course one season is not enough and he cannot be regarded right now as one of the top 5 wide players in Europe but one or 2 more seasons with the stats above certainly would put him in that category. I think he is capable of this but his problem is fitness, the talent and consistency is there in my opinion.
I also think that Gibbs has shown that if he stays injury free the talent and conistency is there. Leighton Baines and azpilicueta (even out of position) I would say are the only other left backs in the premier league which are in another class to Gibbs. He does go missing on occasions which is thoroughly frustrating but I can't think of many left backs who don't.
Wilshere and/or the Ox is the interesting question to me. Both have shown glimpses of brilliance but neither has shown consistency. Wilshere at home vs barca in 2011 and the ox v Milan at home in 2012 springs to mind. Whilst wilshere to me has shown perhaps more natural talent the ox has shown to be stronger physically and seems to have his head in the right place (he is obviously also extremely talented). For this reason I think the ox is more likely to be the breakthrough this season but if Wilshere can get his head down, I think he has the talent to be a football great. I know that may not be a popular view as most fans are disappointed by wilshere recently.
Just my thoughts.
