If they all actually happen... How would you line up?

Do you mean Ramsey? Can’t lie it’s a bit of a difficult one between him and Wilshere. I suppose I would go with Jack because of his ability to play passes from deep. Especially in such an attack minded line up.

That’s actually a really decent solution to fit most* of them in and keeps the team fairly well balanced at the same time.

I try 4-4-2
Still don’t like the idea of 3 at the back. Too dangerous for us, especially our players are lack of concentration and understanding.
Ozil played as CM before (Arsenal and German NT), and he was doing good there.
Kola has a decent cross, so I put him as LM and Monreal back to LB
Need to sit Bellerin. I want a true defender, not a Flash Gordon.

Hire me Arsenal.

It gives us a bit more defensive stability but also allows us to play a bit wider or more narrow depending on what the game needs.

Wilshere/Ramsey + a dm would be nice but we only have AMN so he’d have to make do.

Why have we not ever tried Nacho in the Xhaka role???

I just realised I didn’t even include Mkhi.

I don’t think it’s possible to get all three of them into the team with Laca and Ozil.

Dropping Laca is probably good depending on how Miki plays for us.

Aubameyang wide left a la Dortmund pre-Lewa departure. Mikhtaryan a slightly less wide right. Ozil where Ozil needs to be. Lacazette up top, easy really

How good was this Aubameyang? And how good is he likely to be at age 28, 29, etc…

17 goals from out wide, perhaps a better fit out there than Lacazette. It’s not like they won’t be swapping positions during matches anyway

Bearing in mind Koscielny needs replacing (new signing)
and Ghaka needs to improve under a different manager
or replacing as well. Quite happy for AMN to step up for
him next season.

Also wouldn’t mind a natural left winger (new signing)
while Auba and Laca competing for the striker spot.

True enough, he was pretty effective out there, didn’t realise, thought the results were more mixed. Not quite Walcott levels ( :wink: :flushed:), but pretty good. Still, as I recall he was relying a lot on pace, we’ll be lucky to get a year or two of good production out of him in that position. Not the shrewdest of signings…guess it’s probably worth it if he helps us win Europa (/get Giroud off our books :grimacing:).

The good thing is that we would have good depth upfront, with Auba and Mhiki. It has been time since we had it.
