This, then buy one world class CDM a backup CDM and have Ramsey/Elneny rotate the B2B role

We don't have a pure CM. That's the problem. Elneny is our most complete CM even if he's not spectacular.
Ramsey is a final-third player, not a pure CM. He's not renowned for his CM duties but for scoring those goals/his late runs. Wilshere is a pure CM, but he's beneath the level we should be aspiring at Arsenal. Cazorla is pretty much done. When fit, he's our best CM. Nobody knows what Xhaka's role is. My assumption is playing alongside a DM in a 3-5-3/4-3-3 in a slower league.
The fact that Arteta of old would walk into our midfield says everything there needs to be said.
4-3-3 is our best set-up as it is, with Elneny - Wilshere - Ramsey. Ramsey gets to make those final runs. Wilshere stays behind and plays a more of a B2B/DLP role, with Elneny as a DM - with enough leverage to dash forward when needed. Elneny is a better passer than both Ramsey and Wilshere either way.Va-Va-Voom wrote:Arsene Nose wrote:Dejan wrote:It starts by selling wilshere and xhaka

Modric is 32. Wouldn't be realistic.
Verratti, meanwhile, could be available at a cut-price as he's been an auxiliary figure at PSG for a while now. They also need to balance the books or risk letting go of Neymar or Mbappe.

Why not? Rumours of him leaving Madrid anyway
I'd go for Kondogbia and Modric/Verratti if possible with that Welsh git next to them in a 4-3-3. Think we'll have to go cheaper and shitter though.
Barcelona have 'the model' again, they have 3 in midfield but Iniesta/Coutinho play slightly ahead of the other two as an advanced CM while the other plays wide. Paulinho and Busquets are both defensive minded in their setup as a double-pivot base but the key is that BOTH are great passers of the ball as well and are swift but calm under pressure.
