Ramsey (Robson said that we stayed in London for an executive meeting to discuss transfers etc.)

Sorry mate but anyone who has watched us play arsenal, or anyone play arsenal for that matter, knows full well that Aaron Ramsey is not a defensive midfielder. He's their prime suspect when it comes to strolling back as the opposition counter attack, hasn't got a tackle on him and hasn't even performed in 2 man midfield, would be killed stone dead as a pivot.

City were linked with Bentancur by fairly reliable Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla 2-3 weeks ago, City didn't deny it then.

Pedulla is reliable now is he? Here I was thinking he spent 3 weeks chatting absolute nonsense about Pjanic...

Could eventually move Gundogan to DM, and Ramsey take Gundogan`s spot

Do not forget Brozovic, a very underrated player at a club we could do business with and while we were smashing records last season he broke one at the world cup

Would love Brozovic because his workrare is absolutely phenomenal, he never stops. He is also very capable of playing higher up the pitch and delivering sone really incisive passes, something we didn't see him do a lot of at the world cup because of his role but at Inter in the 2nd half of the season I'd argue he was just about their best player. (I follow Inter quite closely because they were the first team I ever started watching as a kid in Australia because Serie A was available on free-to-air and Premier League required pay-tv which we didn't have.)

I think honestly because of his pace, workrate and stamina he is a better fit for the premier league than Jorginho. He is a good passer of the ball and a decent dribbler but has been inconsistent at times until the 2nd half of last season. Not quite on the level of passing that Jorginho is on, but he brings a lot of other attributes to the table which are probably a better fit to hitting the ground running in the prem. I do rare him higher than Kovacic.

Unfortunately I've not seen even a single rumour that we are interested in him so it doesn't look likely.

Probably was briefed by Juventus to lure us to buy him or something, but he is reliable regarding italian stuff.

Meh that would just make Gundogan's spot much worse and its not like we even need the homegrown slot Ramsey would take up. Could do so much better.

Only had him on a list of possible targets. Don`t really want him. But I would rather sign Ramsey than no one

Definitely prefer nobody, and it's not close. We've finally managed to shift off the dead weight in the squad and now you want to sign Ramsey?
 
Unpopular opinion bit Ramsey would be good for us. Like gundogan, not on same level technically but not bad and has more of an engine and goal threat. Versatile too. We could do a lot worse.
