you're joking lad...they're 3 players short and that's just to put together a good first 11. There's no depth there...just wait until Van Perse gets injured and see them struggle to get a single goal

No joke... I said "attacking lineup" and Hazard in my books is on par with Fabregas and Silva as far as playmakers go...
I think many are forgetting that they have quality players in attacking positions even now without signing anyone...
Arshavin, Gervinho, Van Persie is a very strong attacking trio by any standards.. If they play a 4-3-3 with Wilshere being the most advanced in the center then they're sorted in the final third imo and still have the likes of Walcott, Bendtner, and Chamakh to call on... The only problem is that they dont have enough depth or quality down the middle of the park (not defensively) to play that..
In all likelyhood, they'll have to play a 4-2-3-1 which means they'll need 3 good attacking midfielders.. In Gervinho - Hazard - Arshavin they'll have just that..
Put in perspective :
Arsenal :
Gervinho Hazard Arshavin
RVP
Backup (Walcott, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Bendtner, Chamakh)
Liverpool :
Kuyt Gerrard (inj?) Downing
Suarez
backup (Henderson, Maxi, Cole, Carroll, Ngog)
Tottenham :
Lennon V.D.Vaart Bale
Crouch
backup (Krankjar, Pienaar, Bentley, Dos Santos, Defoe, Pavlechenko)
We probably have a more balanced side overall but with Gervinho-Hazard coming on for Nasri, Fabregas then I dont think they're that much worse off.. Definitely not as bad as many are suggesting.. Add to that the fact that players like Koscieny, Wilshere, Chamakh are all now better adapted to the league and the style of play and its anyone's guess how things turn out for them...
A big gamble selling their 2 best players, but if they manage to bring in Hazard and keep RVP fit then I think they'll still be a very strong side at least going forward...
