this fuss is about- top 4. Achievable if we cut out silly mistakes at the back and improve our productivity a little bit ( mark the words' a little '). We were 5-6(?) poin5s adrift, which can be easily overhauled with little efforts and willingness, even with what we have.
Bigger goal is to go all the way. Think we need couple of marquee signings away from ' IT'. Lets see how things pan out in near future.
I think we can get top 4 also - if we get a little luck.
Realistically 5th or 6th is well within reach
As for being title challengers, we're still 3 years or so off that if things go well on the recruitment and development front.
Tell you what I am really excited about what ESR and Saka can do this year. they are going to get better.
Even in pre-season, I can see a certain air about ESR - more settled into his status as a star player.
Jay, you amongst others have more than once said the squad is not good enough for top 6. Is this another "Jay- turn"??
Two young stars developing and getting better as I referenced.
Partey with a year under his belt. I expect him to be better.
No crappy Europa League to waste time and energy in. That's a big plus for our PL season.
Turn? No. Still a lot of surgery to do on the squad but it's a journey and it is getting better.
Move from 8th to 6th is realistic.
Not a huge move.
The starting point for Arteta in terms of squad strength is precisely why we would need to be lucky to get top 4.
