What if Cesc Fabregas and Nasri leaves Arsenal

Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri are heavily linked with moves to other clubs. Cesc Fabregas has been linked for a long time for his return to his childhood club, Barcelona FC, for the last three summer transfer windows; while Samir Nasri, who only has one year remaining on his contract, has shown his desire to move from Emirates Stadium. Manchester City has offered twenty two million pounds to lure the Frenchman who moved to Arsenal from Marseille in 2008.

They both are integral part of Arsenal FC. Fabregas usually plays behind the lone striker, while Samir Nasri is the owner of Arsenal's left flank territory. What if both of them leave? Could Arsenal survive?

Arsenal has signed Gervinho from Lille in fee of region 12 million pounds. Should one of them leave, Gervinho will be a perfect replacement. If Fabregas leave, Samir Nasri will be switched to the central, and Gervinho plays on the left. If Nasri leave, Gervinho will play on the left wing.

What if both of them leave? It would be a big problem for Arsenal. Both of them are the source of creativity alongside Jack Wilshere. Last season, Arsenal without Cesc wasn't as strong as Cesc. No player could make a killer pas like the Spaniard do. Jack Wilshere is a good passer but he is yet to be as good as Cesc. Wenger himself already admitted that Arsenal wouldn't be considered as a big club if both of them leave. Nah, Arsenal should sign another world class player then.

Many pundits have suggested Arsenal to reverse their formation back to 4-4-2. Either Theo Walcott or Gervinho will duet with Robin van Persie. However, this is not the best solution, without any more signing. Arsenal would probably buy another right midfielder, even if Ryo Miyaichi could be tried in that position. Wenger has reported to be interested in Stewart Downing, and if he comes in, Gervinho is likely to play on the right. Wenger also keeps his eye on Esteban Granero, a Spanish Real Madrid player

However, in my opinion, Wenger should buy someone better than Downing and Granero. Arsenal need a world class player. Without any disrespection, both of them are good, but not world class. Arsenal have already some good players : Arshavin, Miyaichi, Ramsey. It is likely that Arsenal won't sign any other world class forward, no one has been strongly linked with the Gunners. If so, Ryo Miyaichi would have breakthrough season this year.
