Plus Pastore has actually been good for Roma at AM when not injured. And Torreira didn't seem better than Bentancur to me, just a diff type of player. Only watched one Arsenil Gam this season, but my guess is he's being over hyped like Jorginho, who owes half of every paycheck to Sarri.

Their mercato looked good till Monchi sold Strootman. Also, Cristante buy was unnecessary. Now they've too many attacking type CMs and no B2Bs who can defend. And Monchi actually thought Pastore could play as a CM in Italy lol. EDF took too long switching to obvious fit 4231, losing points...

They do have a better midfield than ours overall, but I'm only envious with Allan. He's finally getting the recognition because Napoli played Pool and PSG. It was stupid to not buy him for 13m or whatever measly sum he cost. We wouldn't be having this ongoing problem.

He very well could be if we spend our budget on de Ligt which I wouldn't mind at all. And agreed, while not the top WC CM we've been craving, he's good or quite decent at almost all the things we're missing in midfield and final third. Should be an important role player like Matuidi minus the...

EPL TV deal happened.

I guess agent fees like that is just the standard now. Not bad.

Doesn't make a difference. You still need the FBs playing in the WB positions. Can't exactly put Douglas Costa there. 1547316886 If that was Momblano's argument, then he's full of it.

They been like that since late 90s at least and prolly much longer than that.

That's an odd username. Fan of one of Inter's plethora of classic terrible decision-making and circus acts?

If you're dumb enough to play him in a two man mid, it's a prob. Shouldn't be an issue playing as a mezzala in a 3 man mid. Skill-wise, he isn't good defensively, but puts in his shift and has good recovery speed. 1547136611 He's signing for free and is better than Khedira. Not much there to...

To anyone with an iota of soccer iq, knowledge or understanding, it's clear that the overwhelming majority of them don't. The reason you and others think they do is how they remain employed. Not that I disagree on Ramsey, but e.g., Rugani to Chelsea series was hilarious as are the crap you read...

They're fighting for 4th place, and Ramsey is important for them. Emery also said as much publicly. Unfortunately, I don't think we've much chance of signing him now. Only possibility is if Ramsey starts to throw a hissy fit and really wants to leave now.

I think the club knows Ramsey is needed now. The problem is Arsenal doesn't want to let him go. It's understandable why. He's their first pick for third line.

Most of the naysayers will fall in line when they see him playing for us. Not WC but ticks all the boxes in regards to what we lack and need in midfield and the attacking third: speed, counterattacking ability, driving the ball forward, long-range shooting, goals and assists from midfield, and...

Sounds like another case of Spurs game. @Dantes What sport?

If we spend most of our budget on de Ligt and buy one or two other cheaper youngsters like Tonali, will you be OK with just Ramsey for midfield? If de Ligt is clearly the best CB of his generation, I would be fine waiting another year for a top CM to arrive. And even with injuries, rather have...

I don't hate him. He just isn't a big game player or top quality or what we need and won't be free.

You asking me that after reading my post? lol Ramsey 11 out of 10 times.

Ozil is good against bottom 10 teams and poor against top 10. We're doing fine vs the Chievos and SPALs. We need players who can beat the best in Europe. Ozil isn't that. Welcome to 2018...almost 2019. We do lack a top mezzala. Ozil-like AM isn't the answer. Ramsey kinda is except he isn't...
