Now the window is shut, how do people think their team's first 11 will shape up?

With everyone fit Spurs will play a fluid 4-4-2 with probably the following:

Keane/Crouch Defoe
Modric Kranjcar/Huddlestone Palacios Lennon
Assou-Ekotto King Woodgate Corluka
Gomes

Time will tell who partners Palacios, though I have a feeling Kranjcar is going to step up a gear. Saying that I would love Huddlestone to continue his improvement as he offers so much potential and we are finally starting to see that manifest.
 
Almoonia

Sagna - Willie G - Tommy V - Gael

Cesc - Song - Rosicky

Nasri - RvP - Arsh


If Rosicky is in fact dead, put Nasri where Rosicky is and put Eduardo/Walcott up top
 
Schwarzer
Pantsil - Hughes - Hangeland - Konchesky
Dempsey - Murphy - Etuhu - Duff
Zamora - A Johnson

But with injuries atm, most likely (for now);

Schwarzer
Pantsil - Hughes - Hangeland - Konchesky
Dempsey - Greening - Etuhu - Duff
Nevland - Kamara/Elm
 
Lineup should be something like this:

.................Almunia
Sagna...Gallas...Vermaelen....Clichy
Nasri.....Fabregas...Song.....Rosicky
...............Arshavin
..............van Persie

(Nasri, Rosicky and Arshavin might interchange a bit)

However bearing in mind Arsenal haven't been able to field their best XI for over 3 years now due to injuries etc, and Wenger's preferences, a more common lineup would include Denilson (started nearly all games last season) and probably Eduardo or Bendtner depending on the game.

You'd have to say that the back four, keeper, Fabregas, Arshavin and Van Persie pretty much pick themselves. So that basically leaves room for a central midfielder, 1-2 wingers, and 0-1 strikers depending on the formation desired, to be chosen from:

Song
Denilson
Diaby
Ramsey
Wilshere

Nasri
Rosicknote
Eduardo
Walcott
Vela
Bendtner
