I'd rather a midfield with pace and athleticism, in addition to technique. His disappearing act in 80% of our games doesn't justify keeping him. If we can keep Ramsey healthy, he'd be more of a threat going forward tbh. Ramsey, Nodmbele and another quality midfield would be a massive upgrade on what we have now.
Please. We aren’t shipping off half our mid and spending 150-200mil on two CMs on top of Ramsey and his wages. Dumb premise is dumb.
We keep Pjanic because he’s our best mid, and has shown up in numerous big games for us, even if he’s lazy and inconsistent in other matches. You add to Pjanic and create a proper working mid with Ramsey-Pjanic-Ndombele/etc
We have a surplus in attack. And we can sell a player like Costa or Dybala for good money without needing to break the bank on replacements. Ronaldo, Mandzu, Berna, Kean, Cuadrado, and one of Costa/Dybala is still fantastic.
Use the money made there to buy a proper CM to pair with the best we already have. And we also need a top class CB.
