Ozil - Do we need him?

[Power n Glory]

You don't want Ozil to play the advanced role but you're happy for Ramsey to?

It's not the same role as Ozil or even the same set up.

So to get the most from Giroud we need a player more akin to Griezmann to play that role just off him, within the squad I’d say the most suited players would be Sanchez and Ramsey, who could really bring out the best in him, although the former seems to much prefer playing out wide and cutting in and the latter if he can carry his international form into the new season. Past that I’m sure there are plenty of names you could pull out of the transfer gossip lucky dip but while the list of those that are actually realistic is probabably quite short, it’s pretty clear that there are more viable attacking mids out there than there are strikers.

I won't get into a debate on roles and positioning with you on this one. We know how that goes. Read around on the subject and maybe ask someone else that has suggested the same thing. I'm agreeing with IAV on this one. Also, it's right here in the original article I posted which you obviously didn't read.
