We should play Coq, Xhaka, and Elneny together and play Ozil in a false 9 role

lool at anyone thinking we would spend 43 million euros on this guy. Honestly this would be a horrible buy. he is not very good and isnt the most mobile or great on the ball. I can understand Jorginho or Saul....those are great players. this guy is absolutely not

Surely better than Flamini and Arteta. At the very least we would upgrade our 3rd choice DM/CM if we sign him
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)

Would be a great signing, CB and cf is far more important though.

Not even sure what his main position is. Would he start over Coquelin or Santi?

Yeah I like him because he would add toughness to our midfield which this team sorely needs.

But for 43 M?

Hahahahahahaha.........

For that price there are better buys out there.

It's happening.

Flamini, Arteta and soon Cazorla (2017?) are done, so Coq, Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny are a good midfield to build on.

So someone on the last page compared him ti a young Xabi Alonso.... next to Coq that would be the closest thing to the Mascherano Alonso midfield at Liverpool, and that was an insanely good midfield *sits back and remembers how Benitez could have had it all*

Newcastle to go down and Rafa to replace Wenger to manage the new Mash-Alonso midfield duo?
