Did we kill Liverpool, or Tottenham, or City maybe, Manchester United perhaps?
We lost a ton of matches with this kind of midfield, but stick to it, we will win the league with this midfield for sure, yay Arsenal.

We did City in the Cup and took four points from Utd, actually. Did you watch those games? And I never said we'd win the league.
I just hope we can do as well as we did in the pre-2013 years of beautiful football before our midfield just totally fell apart, back when we had so much success and were winning trophy after trophy.

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Shaka and Ramsey are nor physically weak. Where is this idea that we have weak cams came from? If we started with Santi, Wilshere and Özil then perhaps - this didn't happen at all last season,

It's doubtful Ramsey can play every match. We need someone else in that a-mid or box-to-box position regardless of his and Xhaka's physicality, unless you want to trust Willock to do the job.

Glorious. Killed Kante with a simple body feint.

Genuinely concerned by the lack of activity in CM so far this Summer. Even if one wants to believe that the Xhaka-Ramsey duo can play the whole season (totally unrealistic, we all know), I simply don't think they are good enough quality wise. Not to mention utter blandness on the bench with the likes of Coq or Elneny.
We desperately need a quality No 8, able to control the tempo, positionally and tactically disciplined. That should be the main focus now.

My gut tells me Wenger is seriously banking on Jack and Santi to get back to form and fitness. If that's true it's a suicidal decision but that's where I think he's coming from and why we aren't seriously looking into the market for an orthodox CM.

Jack and Santi will be fit this season , strong belief in that .

Agree with your gut, most people are thinking that we drop to El Neny after Xhaka- Ramsey but I'm of the opinion that Wenger considers both Jack and Santi as able to contribute. Both of them are injury prone, but can be reasonably expected to be fit for half the season. So in my mind its two halves making a whole. Our midfield options should read:
1. Xhaka
2.Ramsey
3. Wilshere+Santi
4.El Neny
5.Coq.

Agreed, I'm thinking the same thing, although if we do get Lemar Wenger may use him at CM when/if required. I would love Jack to be able to play a part.

You have done some research, that is very good.

Good thing too, we needed a LB/LWB as much as we need a CM.
At least watch him in a game before judging.

I haven't judged him one way or the other, wish you people would stop with this rubbish.

He is a nothing signing in your mind.

Again no, he's just not the crucial signing I consider a CF, CM, CB or GK to be.

What the **** does this thread have to do with Kolasinac? Why is Kolasinac now being brought into every thread?

People see our midfielders dispossessed and immediately point to their weak physical build.
In most cases it's to do with our poor structure resulting in a lack of connection and the right angles and or passing lanes to other players which leaves the ball possessor vulnerable, almost like a sitting duck as opposition players swarm him.
