He'd have to find his old creative mojo again if he were to be pushed back into the AM spot. I think Wenger sees Arteta more as a backup to Gustavo and Ramsey and as a senior figure in the dressing room so he'll still play an important part.

I think Sagna is neither and Diaby is both.
Diaby is a legend amongst physios and surgeons, he's paid for many of their houses.
At least one dentist also lurves him.
Ornstein says that we haven't made a bid yet and the reported bid was fed by Gustavo's camp.
Ornstein claims on 5live that we have made no bid. That's what's spreading on twitter anyway but I find it entirely believable.
It was obvious enough from Wenger that we hadn't made a bid when he said there was "nothing concrete"? He did admit interest though but you know he needs time, enough time to allow Chelsea or possibly United get in there to do the deal.
Is this where we go after our unattainable first choice target, leaving Gustavo as backup while he signs for Napoli?
😆 Who'd fit the bill as the unattainable first choice version of Gustavo?
Gündogan. 🙁
Or Lars Bender perhaps. There was a reported bid for him.
40,000,001 bid for schweinsteiger. god, our mgmt is infuriating.

Gustavo.
Jean Pierre leMerde.
Sky Sport News in Germany have spoken to Luiz Gustavo's agent: "He will make a statement on his future on Thursday".
Honigstein: Gustavo would consider a move to Arsenal.
Compared to everything else that I've read today, that qualifies not only as news, but good news. So lame.
Thursday's statement should be amusing. Why's he got to wait until then, can't he just spit it out now?

Build up the tension.
Or maybe just waiting to get back from international duty...
He'll probably just say whether or not he has decided to leave. Can't see him announcing his destination unless a deal has already been done, which seems unlikely.
Well atleast we should hear something on thursday. Which is better than our current state where we know nothing.
