Just look at the current first team squad.
GK -> Lehmann, Almunia, Poom
CB -> Toure, Gallas, Senderos, Djourou, Connolly
FB -> Eboue, Lauren, Clichy, Hoyte, Traore
CM -> Giberto, Cesc, Diaby, Flamini, Song, Denilson

Versatilist - one who can play well in multiple positions

I have a feeling Gallas and Toure may not be the best partnership at Arsenal. What I mean is - both players are a bit similiar. Both are under 6 feet, while their pace would stop the quickest forwards, on occassions when we have to defend deep, their lack of height may cause us problems. The Charlton match we looked quite shaky at the back when dealing with the long ball into the box.
