I don't know if anyone has a link to Wengers full press conference today but he apparently made quite a few interesting hints.

I haven't found a link of him but multiple blogs are saying that he said Walcott would be back in full training by the end of August and that Sanchez would probably start on the right wing while he's out.

He also said this about Wilshere -"Wilshere's best position - in the future - is as a deep-lying midfielder in front of the defence where he can be a distributor"
Because he can win the ball, he is intelligent tactically, has a good burst to come out, has good vision. Wilshere is better when he faces the game than with his back to goal."

Also, one Arsenal blogger tweeted this - AW effectively confirming he signed Sanchez for the same reason he wanted Suarez: his versatility allows him to play both w/ & w/o Giroud.

Lastly Wenger said this - "We can play with Giroud, we can play without Giroud in a 4-4-2 or in a 4-3-3."

I've been wondering a lot whether we're going to change our formation and well it seems like we might be based on what Wenger said today. A 4-3-3 with Ozil-Sanchez-Walcott sounds superb to me.

I think Ozil is best played in the nr10-role, where he can distribute balls to the flanks and also put in balls behind the other team, when he played out wide for Germany in the WC he seemed lost many times on the pitch. And considered the signings we have made and particularly the ones we didn't do( fabregas), I think Wenger will build the team around Ozil from his role as nr10 in a 4-2-3-1.
