Nobody Is Coming!

Ww need 4 minimum.
None of those defenders are as injury-prone as two of Arsenal's, and none of them have had a long-term injury like Timber to recover from.We have Kiwior, Zinchenko, Timber, Tomi, Saliba, Gabriel, and White to cover the 4 defensive positions. By comparison, City have Akanji, Ake, Dias, Gvardiol, Stones, Walker, and Rico Lewis but I am not sure if Lewis has ever filled in anywhere in defence for City. In terms of numbers and quality we are completely fine; if your argument is that we can't trust Zinchenko and Tomi's fitness then we should sell them and replace them but buying another defender to add to the group would be terrible squad management.
If we get Diomande, we will have match days when one of the above defenders cannot even make the bench.
Really depends how much of our squadplayers leave. But yes quality over quantity.
Most important will be CM and ST. Either go big on the CM or on the ST. Something like
With the rest if we sell someone buy a backup or promote youth. Who could take a place from youth next year? Nwaneri? Patino? Biereth?
- De Jong + Sesko
- ? + Oshimen
We will need to make an addition to the squad spine. GK, DF, MF, FW. Depending on outgoings, a further FW too.
We need quality AND quantity. It's not either or...
Depends what you see as squad players.Can’t see too many squad players leaving tbh, maybe just Eddie and Ramsdale.
1/3 is 12 league goals a season. It’s very hard to be successful with 12 league goals striker and for a club like Arsenal with so many creators it’s simply poor returnIf Havertz can show a decent goal scoring level (1 in 2/3 games) I’d maybe even consider going big for a wide player.
But yeah, a De Jong or Paqueta level player in the midfield would be immense.

Sure mate. I think you're being pretty naive.Our squad is basically full at the moment, we have at least two players for every position, and we never sell many players in a summer window.
In terms of numbers our squad is full. In terms of players the manager actually rates. It’s far from it. We basically have about 6 players in the squad that won’t start a game no matter how tired the rest areOur squad is basically full at the moment, we have at least two players for every position, and we never sell many players in a summer window.

You also forgot they have Gomez, so they have 8 defenders as depth. They haven't needed to fill because their defenders have stayed fit much better. But the players are there if needed.
The funds don't allow to sell Zin & Tomi yet, only in the coming windows. Arsenal won't sell such great players for peanuts after their injury ridden seasons.
Dunno about that. When he is fit he's 1st choice.I expect Zinchenko to be sold or atleast open to sell like we were with Partey last year.
He has 2 yr left on his contract and no signs of renewal (clear difference to how Tomiyasu is handled).
I still assume Zinchenko signed 4+1 years contract. Very unlikely for Arsenal to pay about 30 million pounds and not secure a 5 year deal.I expect Zinchenko to be sold or atleast open to sell like we were with Partey last year.

Crook knows his stuff tbf, still reckon Victor is/was a diversion.
Gyokeres it is

Too expensive and unproven at this pointWhy is Ferguson not in consideration?
Getting him guarantees us a decade of service at least.
Gyökeres is two years younger, and his personality fits the squad much better. He is also faster, and better with his wrong foot.
