Better cancel those Europa League trophy parade plans
Everyone has to make plans ffs. You can't just plan a parade on the day of the parade.
Absolutely embarrassing performance from all players bar Iwobi, Willock and Cech. I thought maybe Chelsea were just defending well, but after Willock and Iwobi terrorised their defence I realised how bad the senior players were today. I don't think Aubameyang made clean contact with a ball all day, Laca had a poor night too and no words for how lifeless that performance was from Ozil. At least the first two were responsible for getting us here, but Ozil has done nothing all season. Maitland-Niles can't defend, Kolasinac can't defend or attack and our midfielders gets dominated by any opponent that can run. How do we fix this mess

We haven't won a European trophy for a long time and you've won the CL and EL quite recently
Literally every time Ozil gets subbed off he looks like someone killed his dog. I'm so sick of this nonsense.
Meanwhile, Torreira was in tears. Sad to see, but we absolutely need more players like that who demand the best from themselves and play their hearts out.
I'm not saying Ozil was the only problem, but that #10 could be worn by someone far more worthy.

has he? we made history in the CL and we had more points in the league since ole came in
This. Plus Ole has had to try and salvage the mess that we were in when Mourinho left. Ole has done well in the chunk of the season he's been in charge. Areas to improve, sure. But who hasn't? He's done a decent job so far.
Leno/Martinez
Bellerin/Maitland-Niles - Sokratis/Chambers - NEW CB/Holding - NEW LB/Kolasinac NEW CM/Willock - Torreira/Bielik - Xhaka/Guendouzi NEW RW/Nelson - Lacazette/NEW ST - Aubameyang/Iwobi
£120m to get a first team centre-back, left-back, central midfielder, right winger and a back up striker.
If we want to get back into the UCL and make an attempt at working our way back to challenging for the title we need a big summer ahead, that includes selling players if our original budget is rumoured to be £50m.
I don't mind him coming in but I do feel like we need a proper right midfielder/winger
Aubameyang cant really play there, this guy cant as both prefer the left side, same with Iwobi. Its basically just Nelson or Mkhitaryan and both are not good enough to play week in week out at Arsenal.
I wonder what odds you could have gotten on the final day of the season if you bet that United's first signing would be a winger from the Championship and Arsenal's first deal would be a winger from Ligue 2.
We're still apparently chasing Praet and Anderson (offering £50m for both), a Carrasco deal looks pretty likely, though his club seem to be making it difficult. He'd be around £20m. Claude-Merice seems to be a done deal and we're supposedly offering £200k+ contracts to Laca and Auba. How on earth are we able to afford all this without significant sales?
Also, why are we trying to buy these scrubs when Ziyech wants to come to us and he wouldn't even cost that much?

You’ve got one of the richest owners in England lol , you don’t exactly spend big every summer , you’ve got a lot of money you just hardly spend it.
Plus you dumped a ton of big contracts. Plenty of money to spend.
Agree though....how you guys haven’t tried to lock Ziyech up yet is beyond me. We have been linked again lately though too, but don’t see us making a move til late if at all.
*Only Xhaka if we directly replace him with someone not on that list
Who buys them though? Highly doubt any of them would take a pay cut, which is what would happen as they would all likely go to a team even worse off than Arsenal right now.
Arsenal needs to be really smart with contracts the next few years as you have a ton of players that will be riding there’s out I’m guessing.
Anderson
Praet
Carrasco/Ziyech/Neres
Claude Maurice
Back up striker
Good window?
I'd be happy with that. Ziyech is far more appealing to me than Carrasco and even Neres though. He's exactly what we need right now. If we can somehow get £30m~ for Kolasinac and replace him, I'd be happy with that too.

Because you have no fans to attend
Since everyone had such fun doing it to us
He still had a better season than Ole
has he? we made history in the CL and we had more points in the league since ole came in

NEW CM/Willock - Torreira/Bielik - Xhaka/Guendouzi
NEW RW/Nelson - Lacazette/NEW ST - Aubameyang/Iwobi
Sell Koscielny/Mustafi/Mkhitaryan/Ozil/Monreal/Elneny/Jenkinson = £60-70m + £50m budget = £120m budget
Cech/Ramsey/Welbeck/Lichtsteiner/Ospina/Denis Suarez leaving anyway

That’s nuts given Ozil is meant to be a main creator
RIP
I've got no issues with footballers expressing their political opinions off the pitch but this seems ill advised.
Aubameyang cant really play there, this guy cant as both prefer the left side, same with Iwobi. Its basically just Nelson or Mkhitaryan and both are not good enough to play week in week out at Arsenal.
One of those is banned. The other two might as well be

That's probably a 100m window. You'd have to sell 2-3 players to make it happen.
Mustafi/Koscielny
Mkhitaryan
Ozil
Elneny
Jenkinson
