Should strive to improve the first 11, not the bench. The bench will improve, if we improve the first 11.
What position could you improve in the 3-5-2 ? Only CM position needs to be improved and we're working on it.

And bench doesnt necessarily have to be sub material options.Its players who'll be genuine starters in the future while giving serious competition to the present starters.

Even though i very much like Isco but totally disagree he's better than Ozil.The German is comfortably better than Isco as an AM.Its not upto debate.Ozil has racked up assist numbers that Isco could only dream of.He really deserves a better team than Arsenal.
Defenitely, Özil is better, he is only passed by Messi in assists past years. Ridicolous consistency in creating.

But Pav is right Özil is overrated. He is prolly not even top 3 AM in EPL at this point, very particular skillset but rarely imposes himself on games. Poster boy for a player who goes missing.

:shifty:

Thats weird.Agree about him not imposing himself enough in games but i'd definitely take him over Silva for example who is an even worse player in big games.

Who are your top 3 ? Please dont name Payet and the likes.

If Morata stays is because we paid real 50m.
Summing up we gave them 20m 2 years ago.
This summer they're supposed to pay 30m to buy it back BUT
if we want to keep the player we're supposed to give another fee of at least 25m.

Silva has been brilliant in the big games until this season and was the best AM by a distance until this season.

Top three overall is Özil, Payet and Coutinho.

For this season I would take Payet, Coutinho and Mahrez over him in heart beat. But in overall Hazard and Silva, latter you are right about in disappearing too (like Cesc he takes vacation in middle of season) but at his best his impact on City is more important than Özils ever shown, he is not as direct as Özil in creating, but a title winning City pretty much hinged on him in every way, kinda impact Özil needs to have. Don't think Özil will ever reach him.

Yeah Silva would've all the impact in the world in winning titles when he has a support cast of Aguero,Yaya and the likes.

While Ozil has Giroud and Walcott.There's Sanchez as well but i havent seen both Ozil and Sanchez playing together when fit and healthy(in form) for long stretches of the season.So that's a problem as well.

Mahrez plays differently to Ozil.Ozil plays more like a midfielder while Mahrez is more of a forward who likes to drift outwide.For me its hard to classify Mahrez as an AM.

If we can retain Cuadrado,we're not going to upgrade that position.You can bet on it.

Ozil - He is definitely WC and the best AM in the league (Hazard can definitely surpass him as he has tons of potential) saying other is ridiculous!

The truth about our team:
We have the best GK in Buffon
Our defense is second to none even if I`m really impressed by how Atletico fare against the top clubs in terms of defending!
Our mid is very good Pogba is better than last year and provided many assists this year! Khedira isnt WC in my books and we can improve on him but he is definitely a good player while Marchisio is very good too - Can we improve in midfield yes we can but we need to find the right players and know we need to get the best players/best talents in order for this to happen!
Our attacking mid - We all know we dont have a proper AM - since we played with Sandro Cuadrado we didnt use one the question is about formation so if we go diamond we will definitely need one who can really but really deliver!
Attackers - This is a place which I think we are very overrated at! Dybala is very talented but he isnt Tevez! Morata is a better finisher overall even if he score less than Dybala - We all know Morata is talented but he isnt the end product and still far from it unfortunately.. Mandzukic probably our most overrated forward who is slow as hell but can cause trouble - We can definitely get an upgrade on him! Zaza is clinical but apart from that he is much inferior to all the previous three!

We want to be the top club in europe not just to compete!
In order to win the best chance to do that is to be the best!
Who are the best? The ones who get to the semis on a yearly basis - Barca Real and Bayern
We have money issue so we cant get Messi and Ronaldo but what we need to do is to reach it without them
Defending wise we are definitely up there
Midfield wise - our mid 3 are definitely there
Attacking wise (considering an AM or wingers) - We are not at their level Dybala Mandzukic Morata are no Bale Ronaldo Benzema (even their subs can start for us James,Isco) they definitely not MSN and not Muller Lewandowski D.Costa Robben... (for god sake they have Gotze on the bench)

Conclusion we really need to strengthen our attack
BTW to the ones saying our attack is fine... Napoli and Roma both scored more than us! We are winning the title because we have the better overall... (not saying Roma have better forwards as it will be a blatant lie) as for Napoli a Higuain wont hurt us...

This Jesus kid - I personally dont know much about him but if he is as talented as Neymar was or even close to that we should pounce on that because after they are fully established they go to Real and Barca and you cannot do anything but say ehhh I wish we had him in our team!

Only thing we need to win the CL is Nedved to put his football shoes back on.

Talking about AMs it's really sad that football has gone from the likes of Zidane, Nedved and Kaka to this current bunch of players.

Read this on Milan forums :

#Montolivo has already signed the three-year contract extension. He will earn €3M per season. [Corriere della Sera]

So just calm down gents

Montolivo and Pazzini both ended up having really dissapointing careers I really thought they'd become something when they showed promise at Atalanta.

Can we at least sign Boateng and Abate then.

@Nostradamus is there a hint of truth in Arsenal pursuing Xhaka? Would pay good money to see you burst their bubble over on arsenal mania.
Yes I think Wenger is def interested in him, but knowing this deluded fool he prob thinks he can close the deal cheap and offering in the 20m£ region. Then he got the response from Eberl, that he has to double that amount and prob thought it was a joke. Wenger must open his wallet for him, otherwise its going to be another 'almost'.

Arsenal Mania is prob the most deluded forum with biggest differences between dream and reality. I dont post there..tried to open an account with my name, but it was already chosen and I couldnt remember, if I had done it earlier before and not remembering the data or not. Sometimes I think I should create it with another form like The Nostradamus, cos they really r clueless and need an eye-opener.
