Monreal seems key to Dani settling and can do a job for us centrally as well.
Monreal should hold up OK. He's lost a lot of pace so I think it's still problematic for us but he's still a smart, experienced defender. Switched on, he should be able to cope.Really worried about LB right now. @MutableEarth could you imagine Saka do a job for us ?
I'd imagine he'd still do better than what we have. I know he should develop his game further on the attacking side of things, but certainly better than nothing for him. He'd play more and he did play that position before, right ?

I don't think Saka as LB is an option for the foreseeable. They've clearly set their sights on him firmly being an attacker, have done for a while.
Don't think Xhaka or Kola are going anywhere, but Özil/Monreal/Mkhi will be gone by next year imo.I guess next summer will see us complete the clean up. mustafi and elneny must absolutely be gone now though.
Xhaka, kola, monreal, mkhi, possibly chambers.
Then the Özil pocture will be clearer.
and no one could ever accuse Nacho of not caring - he's often the most passionate player on the pitchThink Monreal is doing a similar squad job as Luiz - experienced, will do a job if necessary and can play multiple positions. You need players like this in your squad.

Okay go to a foreign country where you don’t understand the language for work and tell me how you get on.No he cant
And they are frekkin adults, they are professionals and should not need a compatriot to settle in.
With Tierney being out for awhile and the crazy stuff going on with Kolasinac, there's no way they're selling Nacho now.
And at the age of 23 (in Dani's case), which is about the age where most would have just graduated from college and are about to enter the real world for the first time. Going to a new country at that age, with little to no friends to lean on, not knowing the language or culture will be a daunting proposition for many.Okay go to a foreign country where you don’t understand the language for work and tell me how you get on.

Thank you. Never understood the love for it, it's so average.Nachos are low-key one of the worst foods of all time. Bland and dry pieces of corn. Utterly pointless.
