Have faith! We will get a CB if Emery still wants a job by Christmas.Loaning our Chambers and not signing a CB is up there with only signing Cech in the summer of 2015. Awful decision.

Loaning out Chambers and not signing a CB is up there with only signing Cech in the summer of 2015. Awful decision.
I suppose Nketiah might not even be included, in which case it would be 25 and 7.
- Cech, Leno*, Martinez
- Lichtsteiner*, Bellerin, Sokratis*, Mustafi, Koscielny, Holding, Mavropanos, Monreal, Kolasinac
Xhaka, Ramsey, Torreira*, Guendouzi*, Elneny, AMN
- Özil, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Nelson
- Aubameyang, Lacazette, Welbeck, Nketiah
26 players there, 8 of whom are homegrown. I keep forgetting the rules, how big has the squad gotta be and how many homegrown players do you need?
Remember last summer's deadline day when Arsenal website posted this gem?
Oh god no.With no new signing I guess we haven’t seen the last of Elneny at CB.
We absolutely NEED more signings to compete (even for top 4). Anyone thinking otherwise is fooling themselves
This squad is more than good enough to get top 4. We got to CL final with a back 4 of Flaimini, Senderos, Toure and Eboue whilst LCFC won the league with Wes morgan and Danny Simpson in defence. I am pretty sure PEA will do a RVP and single handily get us into the top 4 with his goals let alone with the likes of Lacazette, Mkhi and Özil addding to the firepower.
Out first team played once a week for almost the whole season last season. Didn’t help muchProblem is that pride always comes into play. We know that the PL and latter stages of Europa League is all that matters this season, but everyone wants to win every game. You have to hold your nerve and not be tempted to play key players in unimportant games just cos you wanna win. League Cup and FA Cup essentially don't matter this season, so don't bother playing first-choice players in those games at all.
Gotta be ruthless if we're taking this squad into the season. Be sober about it. We don't have quality in depth, so ration your quality for when it matters. That means that come April or so you'll have a better chance to reach your targets.
