We could be very similar in style actually if we modify our midfield setup. They had Schweini + Khedira at the base + Kroos at "10", Özil on left as playmaker, Müller on right as almost a second forward and Klose. We could have Wilshere + Khedira at base (as Schweini + Khedira), Ramsey as Kroos, Özil as himself, Alexis as Müller and Giroud as Klose.

Fixed.

As the all-time leading world cup goal scorer of course.

😆 at the thought of Wilshere playing like Schweiny

Well why not, there have been some soundbites that he will be more of a DM, rather than 10. Pretty much like he played on his first season - as a battling B2B midfielder.

Thought the reasons why Wilshere needs to play further forward were on show yesterday.

A) Close control
B) Insatiable appetite for fast-paced combination play
C) Learned to tackle from Scholes highlight reels

Well the thought of Scweinsteiger playing like Schweinsteiger was pretty laughable until he hit the age of about 25. He was given the chance to play week in week out at centre mid, matured in his approach and never looked back.

Where did he play before that?

Fair Point, he was in similar situation as Wilshere up until then.

Also see Arteta, Iniesta, Pirlo... Plenty of players are put in different positions before they're trusted at CM.

Even Darren Fletcher started out on the right. The next Becham they said.

Until Jack is mature enough to recognize that playing a 1-2 and taking risks in the centre of the park isn't worth the benefit then he can't play there. Every game he is liable to give the other team a great chance from wasteful and frankly stupid play. He also lacks the nous to be in the right position or make a half decent tackle when needed, so him at CM is kamikaze play at best. His only decent position is either on the RW cutting in or behind the striker.

The bank which owns 40% of his rights has just been bailed out apparently. Reckon they'd accept a low ball offer.

Right up Wenger's alley.

You got a link? Would be interested in learning more about that.

Yeah but then he got chronic diarrhea, so maybe he should have stayed where he was?

Carvalho --------- Ramsey
----------- Özil ------------

Best in the world stuff
