Nzonzi is just the type of DM we need, but I have a feeling that this is simply a rehash of the same old story. It very much depends on the formation Emery uses. He mentioned a 4-1-4-1 formation which could possibly mean signing Torreira as the sole DM and possibly using Maitland-Niles as another option. However, if Emery plays his more usual 4-2-3-1, then we would need at least 2 new DM's, say Torreira and Nzonzi and 2 as cover, Maitland-Niles and possibly use Xhaka in this position.

I loved the look of behrami last night. Neymar in his pocket all game! Combative and passion maybe worth looking at. Him or Nzonzi?

Have been a big fan of N'Zonzi for the last few seasons as he has been superb for Seville. He also seems the sort of player that would easilly slip into a back 3 if needed, which he virtually does as the DM for Seville anyway. However, despite that, I can't help but worry that it is now 1 or 2 seasons too late, as perhaps the best has been and gone and he now is looking a bit long in the tooth? IMO the new "N'Zonzi" of Spanish football is Kongogbia, but sadly he is on his way (permanently) to Valencia after being on loan last season. Still, they get to sign him at a pre agreed fee, so perhaps they could be persuaded to sell him straight on for a profit if a decent offer came in?
