I think Xhaka would fare better next to someone like Doucoure. Xhaka is essentially a regista, so having someone mobile like Doucoure next to him would benefit him. You don't necessarily need someone like Max Meyer. Xhaka plays very well next to Zakaria for Switzerland, imo Doucoure plays a similar style to Zakaria, he's just more developed in his career.
I don't get this idea that Doucoure would be a Ramsey replacement, they're nothing alike. Doucoure is better defensively than any of our current CMs. There's no reason why he couldn't come in and make us more solid and help us dominate the midfield battle. He'd be a good buy.
Xhaka is not good enough to buy a player for him lol.
What players is he similar to?

Xhaka can't handle being pressed, it's one of the biggest reasons we struggle away from home as teams press us.
Sorry to show my ignorance here, but wtf is a regista?
