We've needed a top notch holding player for a few years really. I'm almost inclined to think it's the most important position in the team. For us Arteta has shown better form on the flanks but I don't think we have the numbers to be too picky. Osman hasn't been in good form recently and I don't think he really warrants a place at the moment, certainly in the creator position in. Of course, putting Arteta in the middle pins some hope on VDM to make a lazarus style comeback.
We lack options in midfield, and have done for a while.
