With Gilberto back, Flamini and fabregas getting better, and with Hleb and Ljungberg able to play centrally, I don't think Arsenal will be weakened that much.
They can use the money to get a much-needed top striker. Once again I think Wenger has made a smart, if unpopular, move.
i think they`ll miss his physical prescence mate, the other players you mention are cultured but lack a bit of dog.
if cole cant resolve his contract dispute and decides to go as well i think they`ll be under a bit of pressure if they dont start the season too well. it`s not good for the morale of the other players to see two key players in their recent success leave the club.
