Why the demise of Arsenal could help England

“Imagine the worst situation – we lose Fabregas and Nasri, You cannot convince people you are ambitious after that" Arsene Wenger.

As "the professor" appears more like an apprentice and the majority of his best player gone, how can he convince fans that he's still got his eye on the Premier League? Van Persie will be happy to have been made club captain but as he looks around the changing room he must see ghosts of glories gone by.

Last season it was Arsenal's attack which meant they finished 4th. The defense was a sham and a far cry from the glory days of the Dixon, Adams, Bould and Winterburn with more holes in it than a pack of polo's.

So what now? Missing all the creative flair in midfield a lot falls onto their one shining light. Jack Wilshere, this could be a massive season for the highly talented midfielder and it's probable that the longer Fabregas and Nasri stayed the more it would have stunted his progress.

With Wilshere set to come into his own and Cleverley looking already like he's been in Man Utd's first team for years the future of Englands centre midfield already looks strong.
