Totally agree about Sidwell getting lost in the shuffle at Chelsea though. He should've signed with a team that actually needs him like Newcastle or Aston Villa.

Re: ***Offical Summer Transfer Thread***
mikel seems pretty clearly makelele's successor. he's been the superior player for the better part of 2007. sidwell is probably brought in as cover. i assume if ballack continues his, shall we say, indifferent form that sidwell will play some more. however, if he plays like he does in FM, sidwell will just about never see the pitch. i'm curious what player coppell buys for 100k pounds and turns into the next 15 goal scorer in the prem. of course, i'd just be happy of convey gets fit again.

[/ QUOTE ]I could pontentially see a point where they sell him, but only if Arsene thinks Denilson or Diaby can fit that position. Arsenal does have tons of young CM's, however Fabregas is unreal and it would be madness to sell him.

Re: ***Offical Summer Transfer Thread***
Arsenal aren't selling Fabregas anytime soon, seeing as at the beginning of the year they signed him to an 8 year contract.
While Arsenal does have a lot of young, good cm's (diaby, vela, merida), most of them are several years from being at cesc's current ability. Diaby, although good right now, is a midfielder more in the mold of a vieira, not a passer like cesc.

Re: ***Offical Summer Transfer Thread***
Vela is a forward/winger, no?
They have the following CM's: Cesc Diaby Denilson Gilberto Song Hleb and Rosicky of sorts Merida Even Djourou can play DM However, Gilberto will be gone soon and Song is likely to be sold in the summer. Wenger will still continue to play Hleb and Rosicky out wide. All this adds up to no way in hell they sell Cesc. Denilson and Diaby can both play DM, but both are capable of making plays. Wouldn't surprise me to see a 4-5-1 played more.
