It's deja vu all over again. How do you start off so promising with Xhaka and then nothing after that?

I think we have a need at CF, non-Alexis wing, and CB. I don't think Giroud, Walcott/Ox/Jack/Ramsey, and Per/Gab is good enough to win the title.

I wonder if we'll experiment with some sort of two forward system now that Xhaka can seemingly play the Cazorla-Coq role by himself.

Something like


------------Cech-------------
Bellerin-Kosc-Per/Gab-Monreal
-----------Xhaka-------------
----Ramsey-------Santi/Jack--
-----------Ozil--------------
-----Giroud-----Alexis-------

In attack, and

------------Cech-------------
Bellerin-Kosc-Per/Gab-Monreal
Ramsey----Xhaka--Santi---Alexis
---------Ozil-----------------
-------------Giroud-----------

In defense. Basically Ramsey on the right from last year, but a little more dynamic because we're letting Xkaha do the work of Coqzorla

That's potentially a really good 11 that seems to fit really well together, but we still have massive depth issues and Giroud is still Giroud, good but not great.

Have you not been paying attention? It's one major signing per summer and then crickets. Cech, Sanchez, Ozil. Not sure if we signed anyone else when we signed Giroud but yeah... This is what we do.
