Perhaps, but Newcastle are quite hard to do good business with under Ashley.
Cabaye and Higuain for 45m would've been a good alternative to Ozil over summer.
not really. both of those are quality. Ozil is super quality. imagine Liverpool with two quality players instead of the super quality Suarez. They would not be in anyway scary.
I'm not stating that one option would be better than the other—but obviously if we'd signed a top striker and a player like Cabaye we still would've had enviable depth in midfield and we'd be much better off up front.
We've got a golden run with our mids this season. Flamini has been a surprise packet, Arteta and Rosicky are in decent fettle, and Jack and Ramsey have both clicked into gear. And we signed Özil, and Cazorla's coming back, and we have a couple of decent outsiders in Gnabry and Ox. It's a superabundance. That's nine quality players I've just listed.
