Why would you guys get rid of El Neny? He had a solid 2nd half of last season. Low frills but reliable player at a time when we need another one of our (now injured) central midfielders AMN to fill in at left back. I would keep him.
The bigger issue in midfield is how do we fit our high-earning pieces like Ramsey, Ozil, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan together in a starting lineup?
IMO there are a number of options that will enable you to do so.
However the real question is how to do it and let them play as they did under AW,
to which the answer is you don't.
Nor should you want to do so for the simple reason being that it didn't work.
Because it was unbalanced and self indulgent of players doing what they wanted, and neglecting what they should do for the sake of the team performance and outcomes.
As it stands Rambo is still on my list of players to be sold.
Primarily because he hasn't signed a new deal,
and just as importantly IMO he was a liability v MC in that he failed to provide what I understand Emery wants from his CAM.
IMO Ozil is still the better option.
