Arsenal - Can they succeed without Fabregas and Nasri?

With Cesc Fabregas finally making his awaited trip back to Barcalona and Samir Nasri seemingly days away from walking out the door as well, I ask and try to answer the question running through every Arsenal fan's mind. Can we cope without our two main creative midfielders? Can the likes of Ramsey, Wilshere and Rosicky lead the London club to premier league success? Personally I feel the answer is pretty obvious, no. No they cannot.

Not in my mind personally. Wenger will have to go back on his policy of saving pennies for a rainy day and wap out that dusty cheque book and bring in a marquis name to fill the gigantic hole left with the Spaniard's and Frenchman's exit. If one of them would stay then I feel that Arsenal would still be able to compete fully with the likes of United and Chelsea but when two of your main players leave it is bound to affect the team. I am still in awe of West Ham United's ability to play so well despite the loss of Luis Boa Morte and Jonathon Spector, I don't believe the Gunners will be able to pull off those sort of heroics and should definitely be dipping into that rarely used transfer fund. Will they? Who knows... I don't think that they will sadly. Hope that doesn't heap too much pressure onto the young shoulder of Jack Wilshere! Someone like Juan Mata would be ideal to try and help Arsenal challenged that much needed bit of silverware.
