Johnson and Sagna have little between them, both good in posession and suspect without. See above re Agger/Vermaelen, and Mascherano is very much the proverbial water carrier, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I certainly don't think he'd keep Fabregas out, assuming Gerrard is the other CM.
I personally think someone like Mascherano would make a huge difference to Arsenal. They lack a general in the midfield and that 'bite' that sees them lose games they should be winning eg: United away earlier this year. Since losing Vieira and Petit Arsenal have become soft and it costs them big time.
He certainly wouldn't keep Fabregas and Gerrard out of a team but I would love someone like him behind them two to let them have free roles.
