Yes we have some that need to go same as any club but as long as this team has to play Arteta's way and he chooses the players and trains them we're screwed.
We bought Partey, we bought Pepe ......... how much more money should we waste?
We could buy Messi, but as long as we keep playing keep ball between our defence who cares.
I'd swap buying no players at all for a new manager.

Take Wenger as an example, started spending money and our football got worse!

Trying to be realistic, we don't need a massive squad with no european football. First XI signings need to be GK, RB and CM. Then we need squad players to cover LB, CM and CF.
If we really want to push it extend Odegaard's loan for another season but Saka could cover there giving Pepe more game time.
We only need a first choice striker if Lacazette goes. Other than that we have been linked to lots of 6'2+ cheaper forwards who would be great as a plan b from the bench. Balogun could then be eased into the team from wing-forward positions.
In CM I'd keep Elneny as fourth choice until January in case Azeez isn't ready but sign a partner for Partey and a third choice CM too.
I'll add names in the wish list thread later

If we keep both auba and laca and sign a cheaper striker as back up he'd have the season to prove himself and take their place. I suppose a better scenario is laca going and replacing him too but if money is tight I say keep him for another season.jayramfootball wrote:Tony Adams wrote:

Broadly agree - although we do need a striker.
Auba will be 32 - he MIGHT recover his form, but it's a risk.
With Laca, we either have to sell or give him a new contract otherwise we're going to lose out financially.
Obviously giving him a new contract would be a mistake at his age, unless it was 1 year... but I doubt he'd take that.

So we don’t replace players like Leno, Laca and Bellerin who are leaving because we are sulking about Arteta? What happens if Arteta gets the sack a month after the window closes ?
