Spanish star: Cesc Fabregas left Arsenal for Barcelona
11 April 2012
Theo Walcott believes Arsenal are more of a team without Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
The Gunners struggled initially this season after Fabregas left for Barcelona and Nasri joined Manchester City but have been in impressive form since October.
Walcott says the departures led to the team adopting a new style.
The 22-year-old said: "Cesc and Samir were great team players but when you lose two top players everyone needs to come together.
"The manager has brought in some good additions and we are a bit more of a team, we work harder when we haven't got the ball.
"We have a lot more clean sheets as well, and having [Thomas] Vermaelen back is very important as he is a massive player for us."
