Everyone else, including Partey by the way , have little to no role in Arsenal's next title-winning side.
"Potentially be winners of a title"
Are you having a fkin laugh?
See this is your problem, you are high as a kite on agenda so you can't see the woods for the trees and it makes you come out with ridiculous shite like that.
Go through City, Utd and Chelsea's first 11 teams and tell me the team you listed will beat all of them to a title??
In what fantasy land is that going to be?
We'd be extremely lucky if that team could even secure us top 4 imo, there's a lot of Brighton's, Brentfords, Aston Villa's etc on the way to the top 4, you know those teams who you think are so hard to get a result from.
This is the reality of that team.
Ramsdale - Decent
White - Decent but no VVD
Gabriel - Potential World class, could end up on a level similar to VVD
Tierney - He's already beginning to show his limits
Saka - Over rated by AFC fans, has moments of brilliance but they are far and few between, may become more consistent with age but it could also go the reverse.
ESR - Good player, may become a bit better but he it won't be much more.
Tomiyasu - Solid RB, if he stays at this consistency he will be good
Tavares - Barely featured, that's not saying much seeing as Tierney has been off form.
Odegaard - I think he's at his limit now, not much more to come from him that what we're seeing already, decent player but he won't get to even Ozil's level.
Martinelli - When someone spots him let me know, a potential top level player derailed and sidelined by Arteta damaging his potential, he's not going to become WC from the bench.
Lokonga - Not going to be anywhere near as good as you think, you'll be lucky if he even manages to become first choice, I'm having doubts as to if he'll eclipse even Xhaka.
Your hope of some sort of spurt of leveling up for these guys is just not likely, you'll be lucky if one or two of them hit a peak anywhere near what we used to have like RVP, Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil, Rosicky, Sagna and co.
Like Swipe already told you, this dream of "building for the future" is BS, granted we may get to a level back to 6th / 5th place again, maybe flirt with top 4 but that's it unless we bring in improvements to our first choice 11.
Defence is fine, midfield isn't good enough and neither is our attack.
