Granit Xhaka (official)

[Marc Overmars]

That is a reasonable assumption yes......though haven't many lost faith in his judgement? I don't expect him to be a dud.....but I am surprised so many expect him to easily be the first name on the team sheet. Probably just relieved we are spending money.

I actually think we have a midfield good enough to win a league but not a front line....and that has been the case far too long now.

I think we've lacked a good all round CM for years, how many times do we just seem to empty the midfield and get overrun?

I still agree with the attack though, without an effective front line we're never going to be competitive in the league or CL.
