Yes, fabo, I see your point. Though we still don't know what will happen with Sol and Billy - assuming they have gone, you wonder how much experience Wenger will look to add. As you say, we'd look pretty green.
The other factor of course, which seems to have been a bit forgotten recently, is that ideally we wanted a quality player that could cover CB and DM. Maybe Wenger sees Eastmond as cover for Song, but I doubt it.
He may view Winston Reid as a candidate to cover CB and also DM. He's got good pace, and is very agile for a strong 1.9m player. If Wenger saw the NZ games hewould have noticed Reid making some sortes forward much like a fullback (he scored half NZ's goals - yes, ok, it was just 1).
And it's not beyond imagining that Wenger will look to convert/add additinoal aspects to any player.
