I’d 100% take Gabriel over Koscielny for LCB. I’m not a new fan or anything, but Koscielny took years to settle and didn’t become a good CB for us til he was in his prime, whereas Gabriel took maybe a year to settle and hasn’t even reached his prime yet and is already a better defender than Koscielny imo.
Koscielny scored a lot of important goals for us, but based off of pure talent and the fact Gabriel is only 24 and part of the best defence in the league, I’d definitely have Gabriel in front of Laurent.
Cesc - Rice - Ramsey.
Imagine Ramsey in our current team in the left 8 role that Xhaka and Havertz play(ed) making his signature late runs into the opposition box, he’d bag so many goals based on Xhaka last season.
Rice at the 6 where Jorginho has been playing recently bossing the midfield by stomping out their attacks and starting ours. Also scoring and assisting as if he’s playing as an 8.
Then goddamn Cesc Fabregas in the right 8 role that Ødegaard plays in our squad. Cesc was born to play that role as a creator/goalscorer mixed package in midfield who is also quick and physical (in his prime). We built our team around him and he fucked us over by leaving and honestly this team is built around Ødegaard or arguably Rice this season (not Saka, despite him being our best player imo) and I desperately hope Øde never leaves and I fully believe that Rice and Saka never will.
Andy Cole and David Sukor always surprise me.
