Denilson

Has made 42 first team appearances for Arsenal now. I may be wrong, but I have a hunch that Wenger is going to partner him with Fabregas next season.

He's now 20 years old, and he's at the age where Wenger must surely be looking to give him a more prominent role.

There has been all this specualtion about bringing in a top quality DM to replace Flamini, but where would that leave Denilson if Arsenal do? He has just pledged his future to Arsenal, but he will surely not be content waiting in the shadows for seasons to come.

Wenger obviously rates him, and I certainly see his potential, but I don't think he's ready to hold down a starting role, and I am not sure that he and Fabregas would compliment each other either. Not to mention the fact that our midfield would be very light-weight.

I'm desperate for us to buy someone who is in the Vieira mould. Our squad is paper thin, and lacks experience & leadership. Though it will come as no surprise to me if he brings in someone young, and grants Denilson his chance. Perhaps Bischoff will be bought as a squad player..
