Who's he going to be passing to? Giroud? Theo? Ozil at PSG? Campbell on the bench?

Nah, if anything Sanchez is done but that has nothing to do with Xhaka.

Jack will probably sit beside him in midfield with Ramsey further forward.

He is the new Xabi. He will add 5% to our possession totals but will also liberate Jack and Ramsey and leave Coquelin on the bench.

He will also have Özil receive the ball higher up the pitch and will get our attackers the ball where they need to get the ball. This makes our midfield one of the best in the league as long as Wenger gets it right.

This is why dude is special. We don't have anyone on the team with that passing range and he moves it forward quickly. He also dictates tempo which we haven't had in eons.

He is replacing Coqzorla because he does the job of both guys, and does it better.

We don't need Jack and Ramsey to be liberated. We need goals. Ozil playing higher up the pitch doesn't make much difference either if he's unwilling to shoot and have Giroud up front.

He may be a good addition but it's more crucial we find a striker and winger for the right side.

Is it me or does it feel like there aren't as many wide players who want to play on the right?....if i remember rightly after we first bought Sanchez he played a few games on the right but since then has pre-dominantly stuck to the left.

As for Wilshere and Ramsey, one of them has to go...frankly if it were me i'd get rid of both.

I don't know. Maybe. I think we need to find a player with a left foot so he's able to cut in and shoot.

Campbell?

A new signing. It's obvious Wenger doesn't rate him for whatever reason. He hasn't had a fair shake.

Sanchez done? What do you mean?

You could be right re: Jack sitting next to him, I'll be honest, I have no idea of what Wenger has planned going forward but the signing of Xhaka will significantly upgrade our midfield, from the little I've seen of him he looks a "star in the making".

Not sure whether there will be space for all 3 of Xhaka, Jack & Ramsey, not unless Ramsey is out on the flanks, that's assuming that Ozil stays.

Yep, totally agree.

Xhaka is a step in the right direction but we need more.
