A 4 3 3 that effetively turns the two wingers into forwards like we have now:

-------------------Szcesney ---------------------------

Sagna ------- Kos ------------ Verm -------------- Gibbs

---------Song/Coqulin----------M'Vila/Frimpong-----------

------------------Wilshire/Ramsey----------------------

Hazard/Gervino---------------------Chamberlain/Walcott

-----------------------RVP----------------------------

Well Gibbs and Sagna don't convince me defensively and Song has never impressed me as a proper defensive midfielder and my other big worry would be if RVP leaves or is injured who is going to replace him.
