League is very weak
We're not linked with CM's though.
We have good CMs. Xhaka will play better this season, Elneny is extremely underrated, Ramsey is Ramsey, Jack has extremely much to prove.
Since Arteta washed up, our midfield has been terrible - although Caz-Coq combo looked good. We cannot rely on those guys. Xhaka the only one reliable in terms of quality and minutes played, but even misses games because of red cards.
If Nwakali works out during the tour, which I believe is what Wenger is hoping for, we won't be making a bid for a CM.
I have a feeling Wenger will be looking at Xhaka/Ramsey as main midfield duo next season, and is only looking for backup at the mo.
Wenger is wrong, ofcourse. He needs to buy a CM
I think Xhaka and Ramsey looked good together at the end of the season.
I agree. But relying on Ramsey's fitness lunacy these days. Takes ages to find good form when he's back from injuries as well.

Jack is done. The injuries took their toll on him. Even when he was healthy with bournemouth, he looked like an average to below average player. And now he's injured again. He's no longer 20, it's time to move on. We can't rely on him anymore.
This is all sad but it's the reality of the situation.
Not sure if Nwakali has work permit yet. He will most likely go with us on tour and then on loan later.
Yeah, all indications are that Nwakali has no permit yet. He'll definitely go on loan - just remains to be seen where he goes. Jeff is also recovering from an injury so we'll likely see AMN playing CM on tour.Not sure if Nwakali has work permit yet. He will most likely go with us on tour and then on loan later.

Even then, can we really rely on Santi? No. I want solid options, none of these shortcuts.Maybe Arséne is waiting to see how things look for Cazorla a month from now before making any decisions in that area. Obviously a healthy Santi coming back reasonably early in the season would be ideal.
