Wenger has said he is on the lookout for a Striker after Welbeck's knee surgery. Giroud can be a handy backup plan B option. We need someone more proven and consistent up front for a startling role.
Rosicky/Flamini/Arteta are finally put out of their misery.
Our back up goal keeper spot is still not settled. Ospina wants out and Szczesny does not want in going be his comments recently. So we may get a new goal keeper, albeit a cheapstake one.
We may get a CB and apart from that i don't see many changes.
Walcott's wages will not be matched by any and nobody will take a risk on Welbeck's knees. Chamberlain will likely spend one more season ''trying'' to prove his potential. Although out of the trio he looks a better option out wide.
Iwobi has come on nicely and deserves his chance this year to see if he can actually break in to the starting eleven on merit.
Our Full back positions are pretty much sorted with Jenkinson coming back from loan. Wenger has said he has a future at Arsenal but he is never going to be a starting material in my opinion. As a sub he can be handy.

Now this is how i want to see us lining up at the start of the year IF Wilshere is fit. If he is not fit then Iwobi will most likely take his place on the right.
I want us to play with a collective defensive philosophy instead of pinning every defensive responsibility on a solitary defensive midfielder.
Wilshere playing as a right interior will allow him to support alongside Xhaka and Cazorla when we are under the pump.
Coquelin can be our go to DM when we want to play a tight formation away from home and Elneny as a backup to both Central midfield positions.
Chamberlain and Walcott have to start earning their bread for a change.
Ramsey needs to show he can compete with the likes of Cazorla/Xhaka for a Central midfield spot.
With four competitions and players returning from Euros we need a deep squad and having a fair bit of options in the midfield will be a big advantage.
