Silvestre is much better than Senderos who was an absolute liabilty and disaster waiting to happen. I like Silvestre as he bring a no nonsense attitude to defending and I can see either Gallas
or Toure flourishing when paired with him.
Also, Senderos was never good with Gallas, he was good with Toure and only because Toure was at the time in good form and forever covering for his frailties.
Many gunners wouldn't like to admit this but I think that Toure and Fabregas have been absolute shite this season. For instance, Fabregas has played 10 games and only contributed 1 goal and 2
assists. Currently, Denilson is our best central midfielder with more successful tackles and passes but of course to criticize Fabregas is almost akin to blasphemy for most gooners.
Also, as much as I like Nasri, I don't think he's a genuine wide man as he seems to lack pace. I still don't understand why Wenger bought him instead of Hatem Ben Arfa who is taller, quicker
and more direct. Or why doesn't Wenger try Vela there for a few games, this guy has got pace and the ability to terrorize defences as he did so in Spain.
Arsenal scored 68 goals last season, and 5 less this at 63. Chelsea scored one more goal than the Gunners did this season a total of 64. All that money and they have scored 19 goals less than Manchester United, and only one more than Arsenal. They got that total with Drogba, Shevchenko, J. Cole and Robben all available. Arsenal nearly equalled them without van Persie available from the end of January, and Henry injured for most of the season.
