This guy's a wonderful player, and works in the areas where we desperately need some extra quality. He would be a really good signing, even accepting in advance he's probably just had the best season of his career and will be slightly less insanely dynamic in future.
I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on how we'd line up if we signed him and didn't upgrade at centre forward though.
Well we'd have giroud dropping deep looking to get the ball into feet, Sanchez coming inside looking for the ball, mahrez coming inside looking for the ball, ozil in the congested spot as well or out on the wing doing fuck all because it's the only place with any space. Ramsey would probably completely abandon the midfield and run into the congested area just in front of the box, joining the rest of the retards. We probably have 5 players within 10 yards of each other by now, with bellerin and monreal playing dangerously high on the flanks, and mert and kos standing somewhere in the centre circle with acres of space behind them. One of our donkeys can't control the ball and loses it, allowing the other team to counter while everyone is out of position after pussyfooting about at the edge of their box for an age.
