I agree he should be the first alongside a few :
Lehmann Senderos Djourou Song Adebayor Hoyte Gilbert
I would have those two XI

Almunia
Sagna X Gallas Clichy
Hleb Fabregas X Rosicky
Van Persie Bendtner

Fabianski
x Toure X Traore
Walcott Flamini X X
Vela Eduardo

Randall Lansbury Nordveit Merida

I don't 'fully' agree. I don't think Adebayor should go (yet). I'm not a fan of him, but I don't think we should get rid of him till we either develop or buy a world class striker (beyond RVP and Eduardo).

I don't think Song should go either. His performance at the Africa Cup of Nations was second to none. I never expected him to play that well. Unfortunately for him, he's been hurt since coming back and hasn't had the opportunity. If his performance at the Africa Cup of Nations is any indication of what he can do for Arsenal, he should stay and be given the opportunity to shine next year in the Carling Cup next to Vela, Merida and Denilson.

I do believe Lehman and Hoyte need to go as well as Gilberto. Senderos is clumsy and doesn't have pace, but we still need him as cover in the CB department. And he's one that doesn't complain about playing time, so why not keep him on. I do want to see another CB being signed this summer to be either the second CB or the third CB while Senderos moves to fourth in line.

Starting first XI
Almunia
Sagna - Toure/(new signing) - Gallas - Clichy
Hleb - Fabregas - Flamini - Rosicky
Van Persie - Adebayor / (new signing, someone established)

Bench:
Walcott, Fabianski, Vela, Eduardo, Denilson, Toure/(new signing), (new signing)

Starting second XI
Fabianski
Song/(new signing) - Toure/(new signing) - Senderos - Traore
Walcott - Merida/Song - Denilson - (new signing/Vela)
Vela/(new signing) - Eduardo

I'm hoping the new signings will be Samir Nasri and Ben Arfa. We might also want to think about swooping up some players from Sevilla, if they don't manage to get a CL spot. There's been a lot of talk about them selling off a few of their players if in fact they don't get a CL spot. Maybe Daniel Alves and Luis Fabiano.
