The fact we appear to be buying an entirely new midfield, would suggest this.

All appears very odd with links to Banega first and now Gomes and N’Zonzi back on the alleged radar.
Thing is our current midfield is 2 real options (one of whom could still leave), 1 average back up player and 1 young lad who is a decent prospect for the future.
Add in 1 player who is allegedly signed but not yet signed.
Across 50-60 games per season.
p.s. describing ME as average is not meant as a criticism, just a reflection of what he is. Steady, reliable but average.
Actually his pass completion was perfectly respectable in those early years. What he did spend a large part of those years doing was recovering from his broken leg. If you wanted to cůnt him off you could at least have pointed to his relative weakness in tackling and in the air.
I'm sure his suave good looks are effortless, unlike that preening narcisist Giroud who spends two hours getting ready every morning. Fact.
And of course our Teutonic friend, like J. E. Hoover, has a file on everybody.
