Ramsey just looks better further forward. Watching that midfield two last night really brought it home to me how much we needed a midfielder this summer. Without Cazorla that area is pretty light on quality.
Yes but we've been here so many times before that it bores even me. You'd have to be an idiot to think that Xhaka and Ramsey can play there, Elneny and Coquelin are very average and Cazorla and Wilshere seem permanently crocked.

And yet we didn't buy a single central midfielder during the summer and ended up turning a profit in the transfer window.

Staggering. Wenger out. Please.
