Big box little box, either way its just a box.
With the news that Francis Coquelin may be out for a sustained period, #ABW Regular Bloggers Drew (@AFCBvB1410), Simon (@SR_Collings) and Luke (@LukeisPremium) decided to tackle many of the questions being raised by fans across the globe in a Three Part series.
In Part 1, Drew looked at possible replacements we could look at in the January Transfer window; in Part 2, Simon took on the topic of who we might have at the club already; and in this blog, Luke will look at a bit of both. We hope you enjoy!
Following the news that Francis Coquelin’s knee injury will keep him out for “at least two months” the problem arises – what can Arsenal do to survive his absence?
Last season, Coquelin was recalled from a loan spell at Charlton and thrown into the first team as a last resort and went from strength to strength. Coquelin’s emergence also coincided with Santi Cazorla’s new role as a deeper sitting playmaker which saw Arsenal finish the season 3rd and retain the FA Cup.

There are three things certain in life: death, taxes and Arsenal fans demanding the club sign a defensive midfielder.
In all honesty, this piece could have been written a year ago.
In fact, it could have been written at any point over the last five seasons. But perhaps now more than ever the calls for a new defensive midfielder in January are stronger than they have been before. It is all very understandable as like a baby with candy, Arsenal have tasted what they want and crave more.

Ladies and gentlemen…chairman of the board…esteemed and honored guests…friends…colleagues…fellow Gooners – it’s finally happened…Francis Coquelin has gone down injured, and will be out for a minimum of two months…our very own Armageddon is upon us. However, despite what the Twitterverse will have you believe, it may not be the end of the road just yet and the wheels on the bus currently sitting on highway league title have yet to fall of.

Olivier Giroud. Bought by Arsenal from Montpellier for £9.6 million. The man who came “to play with Van Persie” but instead replaced him has definitely left his mark on Arsenal and the Premier League.
If you ever find yourself having the displeasure of scrolling down a particularly Arsenal based twitter timeline after a result which was not favourable to the majority of the fans, a common theme is that Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger, should have bought a striker during the previous 2015 summer transfer window. This is usually followed by a list of possible targets from our well informed unofficial scouting network. However, this isn’t the transfer window. We are 12 games in now, so I feel this is a good time to look at ‘what could’ve been’.

Gimli is back, like cat aids n free cheese.
Laurent Koscielny signed for Arsenal in July 2010 for a reported fee of £10m from French club Lorient. Coming here he was much of an unknown quantity, only signing for Lorient from Ligue 2 club Tours in July of the previous year, but Koscielny made great strides that season earning rave reviews in France and being closely watched by Wenger. Koscielny endured a difficult start to English football, mixing flashes of potential with a struggle to adapt to the physicality of the premier league – some Arsenal fans lambasted Wenger for signing a ‘lightweight’ Koscielny instead of Christopher Samba or Scott Dann but since then Koscielny has won over the entire fan base.
In modern day football one of the most scrutinized positions is the growing breed of ball playing centerbacks. These are centerbacks that aspire to be more than the majority of their predecessors, concentrating not just on defending when off the ball and recycling the ball into midfield but actually having a genuine impact on the attacking side of the game, whether that be from being on the ball or through split second ball retention.
6/10 – Most of his evening though was spent struggling to contain the opposition. [London Evening Standard]
5/10 – Wasteful and occasionally timid. [Huffington Post]
6.5/10 – Almost scored with fizzing left footer, beyond that unspectacular. [Arseblog]
The above player ratings come from September 2013 as Arsenal were dumped out of the Capital One Cup by Chelsea.
They are all for the same player; Nacho Monreal.
