He uses EPL teams in Ultimate Team. Why wouldn't he want to be part of the action!?It's never gonna be Kramer. Judy signed a contract extension, plays for one of the biggest teams in Germany, will be playing in the champs league next season and has never given any indication he wants to leave.
I'd look at Lucas Biglia and Krychowiak for defensive midfield as Kramer seems a no-go. I would also try to go for Asier Illaramendi as he's basically Xabi Alonso reincarnated and Tielemans as I think he will be world class in a few years.
With Atlanta Yids recent going young comment, I would love for us to pick up this kid. Has been in the CL since he was 16 and has a nice range of passing and defensive work rate.
forgot Grant Ward tooBecause we don't have enough promising young midfielders already. Only Bentaleb, Carroll, Alli, Onomah, Winks, Miller, Amos, etc.
Would definitely take McCarthy but I have a funny feeling that Rabiot is the player we will sign.
The fact that he wants to leave helps us, and I cannot imagine Everton wanting less than £20m for McCarthy.
Kramer sounds great but it just looks so very unlikely that he'd leave a Champions League club for us.
forgot Grant Ward too
Wouldn't mind that. I've only seen a Rabiot a few times, but he looks unbelievably classy for a 20 year old. One of those players that always looks like they have time on the ball. His positional awareness is decent too. It wouldn't surprise me if eventually he surpasses both Kramer and McCarthy, and I really rate Kramer.
What about Charles Aranguiz ?
I really don't know much about this guy, have only seen him play for Chile a handful of times, but has been quietly impressive when I have seen him, tenacious, dynamic, decent passer can play CM and can do box to box too ? And anyone who can flourish in Sampaoli's team has to be decent and disciplined tactically ?
He's just moved to Leverkusen apparently, but I agree he would have been perfect in my opinion
This has been/is being discussed in the Kramer threadBugger. I bet he wasn't expensive (fee/wages) either. Could that free up Kramer ?

Not signed yet! I mentioned him a few weeks ago as a potential midfield partner for Bentaleb.
