In terms of place in the squad or where he fits on the pitch? I think Emery almost certainly sees him as a winger first and foremost. Anyway, we should still be looking for another one and shipping Mkhitaryan off to China.

Same. I view him as Rosicky-esque. But if Ramsey doesn't leave now, then no point of going through with the deal.
That's why I was saying, "he's not the winger we need..."
Depends on what constitutes a winger. I think he’d be one of those inside AM’s in a 3-4-2-1, I don’t really consider that a wide player as such. In a 4-2-3-1 I’d expect to see him as a 10, although I could be wrong.

High energy box to box. I see Ghendouzi as the Ramsey replacement and Torreria as Wilshere's replacement. Maitland Niles takes El Nenny's role.
We mnever replaced Santi cazorla though. Banega would be something slightly towards that.

Agree on the first formation, disagree on the second. I think he'd be on the right with Iwobi as a 10 (if he leaves out Özil). I don't think Emery would've specifically spoken about him being able to help out on the wing (right and left) if he intended to have him in the middle.

Did I shag your mum or something?
Do you want me to have aneyrism?
We haven't replaced guys like Paddy, Pires, Henry, Freddie
Why do you want to replace a guy from a very not successful period for our club?

Cesc? RVP? or you mean one of the catalysts for ending our trophy drought and one of our finest players of the Emirates era in Cazorla?
Strange post.

It is this never ending bringing up of Cazorla, it is done ad naseum
Nifty player for sure, heck even his cm days far exceded my excpectations for him but the way cooonstantly bring him up it seems like you think he is Zidane
Todays game has surpassed players like him
You gotta have atleast one aspect of physicallity where you stand out

Disagree, but fair enough.

Don't know if I completely agree with that Luka modric is puny and he's not too bad.

I wasn't comparing him directly to Carzola. But he's not known for his pace. I was pointing out that he has no aspect of physicality where he stands out. But by god can he play. We need brains as well as brawn in the team to improve. But I agree we need both

Not sure why people think Denis Suarez is slow. He's not outrunning Bellerin, but he's got pretty decent pace. During the 2016-17 season his top game speed was 32.18 kilometers per hour. Messi's was 32.27 kph. So he was basically right on Messi's shoulder and Messi has never been known as exactly a slowpoke.

Yeah but can he do it on a cold night at St Mary’s Park or Turf Moor?
Player:Saliba
Agree and have said before. Why I didn’t want Seri. You don’t need to be 05 Chelsea but you need that physicality
One reason why I think Xhaka isn’t for us

But has Messi ever een considered fast?
There is a difference in fast like Auba and fast like Messi
Quick is a better word for guys like Messi
And it is easier to be seenas quick in LaLiga...

Good that somebody sees the light
But I disagree on Xhaka
He does have size and strength and can be quite a hardman

Didnt he run the most in the WC?

I was all for letting Caz go last summer (purely because of his age and him likely wanting as much first team football as possible after so long out) but in hindsight it's looking like maybe we'd been better holding on to him for another season after spending two years nursing him back to health. Would've allowed us to move Ramsey on for a fee last summer as well. He's proving he's still capable and would've been ideal in a squad role. Torreira could have learnt a lot from him as well in terms of how to use his small size in this league to his advantage.
Xhaka not as bad as some make out but in terms of going from Cazorla to him it's like riding a jet ski on the open ocean (Cazorla) to slowly making your way on a canal in a barge (Xhaka). Both will get you from a to b but I know which is the more fun of the two to watch/experience.

Really? Kilometers per hour is the same whether you achieve it in Spain or England. And you don't think Messi is fast?
Besides, did I say Denis Suarez was going to outrun Aubameyang? No. In fact, I said he wasn't going to outrun Bellerin. But if you want to make it Aubameyang, fine. What I said was that Suarez isn't slow (as he's being portrayed by you and others in this thread). He's actually pretty fast. Xhaka is slow. Suarez is not.
