Get Aouar.

Swap him for Doucoure at Everton

Ceballos puts in a huge defensive shift, it’s the most underrated part of his game

Agreed. I think Ceballos could work well in a double pivot, especially alongside someone like Partey. Xhaka is good but a bit immobile.

not to mention aouar isn't even a number 10/CAM

he's a central midfielder

its a perfectly balanced midfield to a team that wants to be ball dominant

Yup, he's a great number #8.

Yes, with Aouar as the more attacking one. I'd take doucoure over ceballos but we have ceballos for a year instead and I am hsppy do long as we get a DM too.

Torreira swap for Diawara would do.

We've already got an elite defensive midfielder:

That Fabian guy said the Diawara deal was never on, it was said at the time that the only person who pushed this rumour was Diawara's agent so looks like he was just trying to put Diawra in the shop window.

Well now we have ceballos we don't need doucoure. We do need a DM though (or play a back five every game).

Nope


Vieira
Silva - Cesc


is basically the set up they have had now for the past 3 years, fernandinho is unreal on the ball like paddy was


Hypothetical line-up:

--- Vieira - Cesc
-------- Ozil
Pepe - Laca - Auba

We'd be challenging for the title.

So now you trust Wenger? Come on mate, you spend every 5 secs slagging him off, blaming him for the grass being to green at the Emirates, then use him to backup your view? :lol:

Difference is I don't try to claim everything Wenger said/did was right, you try to make out everything was wrong and blame him for it all. In this particular instance he might be right, he might be wrong but hilarious that you choose now to believe him because it backs up what you want ;)
