Build the team around N'Zonzi.
Tell me how this happens then. Give me a clue, other than name dropping great players and assuming their respective club sides were built around them because they scored lots of goals.You said no team has ever built their teams around a player.?
Totally inaccurate statement..
I most certainly will not.
And enough of this 'building the team around' cliched meaningless dung. It doesn't happen, it's never happened and it never ever will happen. No manager has ever 'built the team' around any individual ever.

I get the improving the supply line to the striker/s thing. That's building a football team 101. Like finding defensive midfield players that will shield a back 4 or 3. It's all building a team.Tbf I think the Aubameyang/Ramsey stuff is just Emery merely acknowledging that these are two guys in particular that can fit into what he wants the team to be. Basically we need to create a side that gets the best out of our most lethal striker and an offensive midfielder who's runs are devastating.
I do agree though that I don't think any manager has ever gone to a team took one player and thought "right I'm gonna build the team around this player and solely for the benefit for this player" and if they have they certainly didn't make it to or stick at the top level of management for very long. Football is very much a team, great teams are built to get the best out of 11 not 1.
They have undoubtedly improved since Poch has joined man... dont understand how you can't accept thatI disagree when you say that Tottenham was their natural self before Pochettino. Redknapp established them as a top 5 club 2010. They actually reached the top 4 twice between 2010 and 2014 (when Pochettino arrived). Yes, they finished 6th 13-14 but that gave them a place in Europe and the 5th team was only three points ahead of them.
Unfortunately, he doesn't speak football.The best thing is Mustafi speaks Spanish.
Ramsey is very very replaceable. Good player but that’s as far as I’ll go.. he’ll sign new deal no doubt.
You've not explained how a team is built around a player here though. You highlighted football politics and in the case of Vieira, a player who merely wanted out! It was convenient that we had Cesc.Teams buy and sell to accommodate there best players. It was Messi that pushed Zlatan out of Barcelona solely cause he didn’t like him.
Even Wenger tried to build Arsenal around Fabregas he was his main man. Pat V was even shown the door to accommodate Cesc.
I've no idea how this myth is spreading so fast lol..
Our entire squad is very very replaceable...
