We've definitely strengthened from last season. Willian/Partey/Gabriel all improve the first 11. I still think we are behind Sp**s/Chelsea in terms of quality, but the gap isn't massive.
Pepe is the key this season imo, we need him to get some consistency and give us that X factor. Hopefully we see more of what we saw against Sheffield, where he is more direct when he gets the ball.
We will definitely look to get in a new 9 next season imo, probably Eduoard, and of course a creative midfield that can play 8 in a 433, probably Aouar.
You can't be serious about benching Ceballos for Xhaka

Edouard doesn't have "it" for me. We need a young striker who will eventually replace Auba's goal tally. Need to be looking at the Haaland and Martinez' of the world ahead of Edouard.

Besides there is JJ, and the blike with the Nigerian name, we also just spent some money on an 18year old striker on deadline day , if we can find a way to develop these players then I dont think we need to spend big on a young striker
Martinelli may say he is a left winger all he likes but the fact remains he performs better as a centre forward , there has been many instances where players performs better in positions which they feel isn't their natural positionWhatever happens we will need to replace Auba's output with a signing you can't get away from that.
Martinelli isn't a joke to me no, he is a left winger as he's said multiple times in multiple interviews. He prefers to play on the left but will fill in at striker when needed. LW for me, when thinking about it deeper isn't the real issue. Mainly because of Saka and Martinelli. I believe they'll be elite footballers in years to come.
So in that sense a young striker will have to be signed at some stage. Someone proven between 20-25. As some have already mentioned Daka looks a quality option, but for proven quality Haaland and players of that ilk are better.

Okay so I was right about the homegrown rule after all.

Walcott always said he was a centre forward when obviously he was a better winger
Henry was a winger before he came to us
Van Persie was a manageable winger before he came to us
Even Auba was a winger in the early stages of his career
Martinelli may be a very good winger but in all the times I have seen him play he always performs better as a canter forward and I am sure Arteta knows that too , Gabi has all the tools of an elite centre forward
Why on earth are we picking 5 goalies & 9-10 defenders for the Europa League squad, hardly any midfielders or attackers? Can anyone answer me that? Hell, I know hardly anyone likes Özil but I surely would have picked Özil before Hillson & Kolasinac/Mustafi. So much for Arteta being more attacking then defending.
