Mailbag pod tomorrow!

Guys question for the mailbag pod, once all our CBs are fit who do you think would provide the best partneship in terms of characteristics, mentality and ability

If you woke up tomorrow and all of our players had been swapped with Spurs' over night, what the hell would you do? Thanks!

Hey Eliot - I just don't understand your beef with Auba on the left. What is your alternative? Dropping Laca? Because that's not a viable alternative to my mind - the game lasts 90 minutes long so Auba gets plenty of opportunity in the game to go central; either as part of a fluid front three or if Laca doesn't play the 90. It seems to be working just fine like that to me? Cheers!

I keep hearing references to experience as a reason for someone like Xhaka being in the starting XI. Generally, what about experience means a player with more of it should start over a similarly, or even more, talented younger player? When does experience no longer matter?

Tim mentioned during pre-season that he felt Guendouzi and Torreira looked to perhaps be the best duo to take up roles in Arsenal's midfield double pivot. Do you think we are any closer to seeing this combination, which I feel would allow either Willock, Ceballos or Ozil to provide greater connectivity between midfield and attack from a number 10 role?

Should we sell Xhaka in January? I feel he is on the road to being Mustafied in terms of footballing reputation and his value may drop precipitously come next summer. The fans are out for blood when it comes to his next mistake, this is aggravated by him being the de facto captain. We already saw the warning signs of him being booed in the preseason tour, I just don't see a happy ending to this story and I feel it might just be better to stop the bleeding.

Would Emery be better of just going conservative like he wants rather than settling into the middle where he’s not fully going for it nor is he defensively stable - won’t be pretty but it will be more consistent

Curious to get your thoughts on Emery's public criticism of Reiss Nelson after the burnley game. i found it strange because i dont think nelson played badly, but when players do terribly (Xhaka, Mkhi) emery says nothing. I remember Emery once saying that some players need provoked friction to improve. could this be the case here?

Do you think that whilst getting Ramseys wages off the books has helped from a financial point of view, this team is absolutely crying out for someone like him in a 3? Industrious, great engine, can score and assist...

Given that Aubameyang's contract is due to expire in 2021 and Raul has stated that he thinks that the renew or sell point should be 2 years prior to contract expiry, should Arsenal have considered selling him this Summer? Does his age and quality mean that he's an exception ?

Despite the failed loan swap of Alexis and Mikki... would you consider reversing the swap to bring Alexis back to Arsenal? With a front 3 of Alexis, Pepe and Aubameyang on paper sounds exciting, pacey and productive if players are in their favoured position (rather than Abu on the wing/left side).

We now only have two captains currently, one who hasn’t played and one who likes giving penalties away for fun. Say you had to pick three captains (one who is club captain) who would they be and why? Including players coming back from injury?

What do you think will happen with Mustafi this season? With his current salary can you see him integrated back in the squad and used?

When Emery arrived with his famous detailed player by player analysis did it say: Ozil - dump Zhakka - dump Mikki- dump Ramsay - dump Mustafi - dump Elneny- dump Kolasinac - dump? If not has changed his mind or been told to come up with another plan?

Anyone following Saliba, and if so, what are they seeing so far?

If you consider Emery a 'tinkerer' with his selections, what responsibility does he have to let the players' who he is favoring know that they are playing during the the match week. Is it fair one way or the other?

Re: Emery, new manager-itis, fans being tacticians nowadays - what would Arsene's first year in management look like today (blogs, twitter, AFTV, podcasts, and statszone)? Would he be criticized for his tactics, his man-management, his penchant for 72 minute substitutions, his strong accent etc? (I AM NOT comparing Emery to Wenger at all.)

Since they came to the club (Xhaka and Mustafi- summer ‘16) we have been a Europa League club, not all their fault but key errors by both players fucked us. My question is when will we see both of them gone? Sooner or later?

What do you think about the current Twitter fad that Arsenal need Ozil to service (ick) PAL if the team is to succeed in reaching CL play?
