Yes.
Can you?
Let me break it down for you.
1. Almost 30 years old in a team already struggling with ageing players
2. Very high salary, easily among the top 5 paid if he comes
3. Plays his best behind a striker, in the same spaces Messi in his current role wanders in
4. Not the best of work rates or stamina in the World and can have troubles just like Cesc had when the shove comes to push
5. Did I mention his age? You want us to bring a guy like that over a much younger player, a more agile player, a more fast player, a better dribbler with far better work rate in a midfield begging for all that?
1. 29 years old at 20 Million on a 2.5 year deal. Slap on a 40/50 Million buyout and it's great business.
2. So? He comes in at a steal in terms of transfer fee.
3. He is versatile. He is being used a right inside forward for Arsenal so could easily take up an advanced midfield position on either side of Busquets.
4. This I agree with.
5. Yes you did, but did you factor in price, salary, inconsistency, injuries and the fact that Ozil is just a better midfielder than Coutinho. He is a significantly better passer and creates way more chances than Coutinho.
Edit: I still don't see how any of this is linked to Arda. He was just bad business... He wasn't very good and was signed on a 5 year deal...
