    I like Ozil but he will never carry a team on his own. He needs a much better midfield behind him.
    Or Cristiano Ronaldo in front of him.

    The apparent lack of desire, or lack of acceptance of what is needed, to aggressively strengthen the side this summer has been hugely disappointing.

    Do you think you know better than Arsene Wenger, my friend?

    Hang on.... that isn't what the survey says at all. That figure is based on everyone in the country who was identified as non-British. This includes the immigrants who arrived in the 50s and are now drawing pensions. Those responsible for the study say it is a nonsensical figure to bandy about.

    Also, note the lead professor's name is Dustmann.

    Which is why Xhaka needs a mobile, defensively astute partner with some positional discipline which, regardless of what you think of him, Ramsey is most definitely not.

    I actually didn't think the useless Welsher was a useless as he usually is, it's just the partnership with Xhaka that will be a disaster imo. Wait until we play someone good and Xhaka starts giving it away as much as he did on Saturday and Ramsey is strolling all over the pitch with his head up his arse.

    Not sure what relevance his mobility has to this debate. He was the deepest of the three so should have made the sensible decision to stay and hold, once he lost the ball. Once he went hunting the ball, a simple pass and they had two players wrong side of our midfield with a gaping hole in front of our back four. Ramsey was not at fault for this.
