but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Willian head and shoulders above everybody in this game at the moment. Chelsea can't allow him to leave...
Footballing wise his attitude is amazing. Wants to be the best when he steps on the pitch. It's his antics outside of football that are questionable. But when he's as good as he's been lately, who cares.
This is poor from Arsenal if the conditions really are that bad. Poor for the player who couldve won a trophy at a young age.
From a PR point of view this doesn't make us look good. Arteta openly says he'd like Saliba to stay and play in the final, then on the same day St Etienne reveal he won't stay because Arsenal don't want to pay extra money or whatever.
If it's a question of him playing one game or us paying them 2.5m, then obviously he shouldn't stay. But it would have been good if Arteta knew this before openly saying that he should stay at St Etienne.
This guy has improved immensely from his Manure days.
We could probably sell all the bolded + AMN(if he's really set to leave) to fund a big chunk of those 3 and still end up with a top 4 challenging team plus an exciting young team as a backupWho would people actually get rid of? Heres the list -
Kolasinac
Sokratis
Mustafi
Holding
Chambers
Özil
Elneny
Mavropanos
Guendouzi
Torreira
Laca
Realistically you can only get rid of 6 or 7 this summer

I'm on the fence about Depay, because I generally don't want Arsenal to buy ACL-recoverees, but assuming Depay's pre-injury level and Auba staying to play on the left, we could do much worse than Depay.I don't know if Depay is the guy, but I gather he's been playing as a 'false 9'. I'd say if (big IF) Lacazette leaves and we can keep Auba, we need that sort of player.
Everyone keeps putting Auba at CF in their formations, as if the only thing keeping him on the left is the presence of Lacazette. Nah, I think that's just where Arteta likes him. I think if Auba his here next season he'd still be starting on the left tbh. So you'd want to find a forward who could start in the centre and link up well with Auba and Pepe and bring them into the game.

Do we actually need to sign a replacement for Lacazette if Nketiah continues to impress? Aubameyang, Nketiah, and Martinelli could be enough you know, I'd rather spend in other areas at that point.
I guess it depends on whether Arteta wants to keep playing Auba outwide, I personally would rather see us get a left winger and move auba upfront.Do we actually need to sign a replacement for Lacazette if Nketiah continues to impress?

If LW Auba is the plan for the future then definitely. It entirely depends on where we play him for sure. Given he's doing well there I wouldn't mind continuing with that, though I've generally had the impression he's playing there mostly because we're trying to accommodate Lacazette and have few high-quality wing options. We'll see.Wouldn’t mind a guy like Edouard as a replacement for Lacazette, let him and Eddie battle it out for ST role while Auba is on the left.
