Summer Transfer Temps and Journeymen

[selassie]

If there's no place for Ozil then why are we after this Aouar guy? Isn't he pretty much the same player? And what has led us to believe he'll transition from an attacking team into a comatose team any better than Pepe? Shouldn't we be after a powerful, creative midfielder that can hold the centre without shitting his pants? I don't think Pires in his prime would fit into the current setup, or have any success beyond moments of individual brilliance - like Auba. Won't this guy just have to do everything on his own too, if he arrives?

Because Aouar is a better player? Ozil is finished. He's on 350K per week, he should be turning out De Bruyne type performances every week and he's not, he's been given chances too and whilst he's not been awful, he certainly doesn't add anything to the team. His wage is the issue, if he wasn't on that salary then I honestly think he would be getting games.

I don't even think Ozil will have many suitors when his contracts up, he's damaged his rep with his petulant attitude towards his wage and so forth.

Back to Aouar, he's not really that similar to Ozil, more like a hybrid of De Bruyne and Bernado Silva, he gets up and down the pitch a lot and gets stuck in. Yeah he's creative and technically excellent but he has more to his game than that, he's almost the complete Midfielder, he's no more a number 10 than a number 8.
