Arsenal Style Of Play Will it Change ?

Cesc, Nasri and Clichy leave arsenal do you think arsenal passing style of play will change into a more direct one ???

IMO the midfield was the most important to this system, even when Henry left we had a midfield which could continue arsenals passing style. Now the midfield will loose two important players what do u think ?

nah i dont think our passing style will change but i think we will change to 4-3-3 with ramsey,wilshere,song in midfield. If nasri leaves i think wenger will buy real left winger.

I think we'll have to see a more of a collective improvement when Cesc leaves- there's no two ways about it!.

Man Utd are a prime example of this. When Ronaldo left, there was talk of Utd suffering due to their supposed over dependence on him- that wasn't the case. Instead, what we witnessed was players like Park, Carrick, Vidic, Nani and Van Der Saar step up and carry the team forward to CL finals and EPL contention.

I can't find the stats, but Skysports had them up yesterday: whenever we didn't have Cesc in our team, our performances dropped very badly. Now that was evidence as to how much control and belief he instils into our players. Moreover, I think players will now be able to assume leadership when he leaves. Players such as Ramsey, Wilshere, Gervinho will carry that "burden". Rvp, showed us exactly how that should be done with his insane scoring record and overall performance last season.

In short: I am intrigued to see how we do with the likes of Gervinho, Alvarez, Cahill/Samba- as well as who we already have.

I ususally find that when a marquee player leaves - be it Henry or Cesc - other players tend to take up more responsbility and improve their performances. Even though their immense talent helps the club in so many ways, they also effect the other players in bad ways. Like how everyone felt obligated to pass to Henry, and how we're currently dependant on Cesc to create chances.

I reckon if Cesc goes in the end, we may see a slight change of style. It depends largely on who replaces him, though. If we bring in a similar payer then our current passing style will remain. If we get in a different type of attacking midfielder then I can see us being more direct.
