I imagine Xhaka will lose out unless we move to a diamond in midfield
Aouar
Partey Ceballos
Xhaka
He could play Aouar on the left and Auba up front as well.

Some Twitter account saying we are doing a madness..heard that before. But assuming there is a possibility it must include a left field signing because we have been chasing Aouar and Partey for a while now.

Didn't work so well before, why would do it now?Ceballos - Xhaka
Pepe - Willian - Aouar
Auba
This could be an interesting setup against certain teams at home. Has that 2010 feel to it. Obviously I'd prefer Aouar to be primarily a central midfielder for most games though.
Really excited to see how Saka and once he comes back, Martinelli will be used this season as well.

Actually you can switch Aouar and Willian and that could be a very good setup too. Also, this could be our "without the ball" setup. When we are building up on the ball, Pepe and Auba can stay further forward and make it a 4 4 2.Ceballos - Xhaka

A 4 4 2 will never work with someone like Pepe and Auba wide simply because they can`t retain the ball properly. They are both players we need to get involved in the final 3rd because that`s where they are lethal. With technical players like Aouar and Willian who can retain the ball better, we can ensure that Auba/Pepe don`t have ball retention responsibilities and also can afford to take more risks.
Wasn't there some places that were saying we wanted Griezmann at the start or the window?Some Twitter account saying we are doing a madness..heard that before. But assuming there is a possibility it must include a left field signing because we have been chasing Aouar and Partey for a while now.
Well he can hold up the ball, Overall though, he is not at his best in this role because he really does not make quick decisions which can help in ball progression.Where did you get that Pepe can't retain the ball properly?
So we have 17 players who count towards the Non-HG rule. Right? Then we get another GK so 18 non-HG players.
I count 18 currently
Leno
Tierney
Sokratis
Mustafi
Luiz
Gabriel
Cedric
Mari
Kolasinac
Ceballos
Özil
Torreira
El-Neny
Xhaka
Lacazette
Willian
Pepe
Aubameyang
I was talking about if we only signed one of each. I myself have actually said Ceballos would eventually displace Xhaka, but if we only sign Aouar for example we would still probably play both.Can very much see Partey playing between Aouar and Ceballos.
Tierney is non-homegrown?

Ceballos was doing everything Xhaka does but better at the end of last season.
Ceballos is a no.6 for me.2 very different players. Xhaka’s our best midfielder. Arteta wants a midfield of Xhaka, Partey and Aouar.
