Kante and Matic ran the game for me, if we had players like that we would get the best out of Mesut. But that's about £50mil on defensive midfielders. I find myself wondering how much money Wenger has spent in that area over the course of his tenure with us.
Gilberto was about 5mil? Elneny the same. Song might have cost us 2 or 3mil as well I think.
No. The only one who can get the best out of Mesut is Cristiano Ronaldo, I'm afraid.
