Our squad is far from thin. There’s still 24 players in it after the 5 departures. That’s not including the likes of Nelson, Bielik or Smith Rowe either.

List all these CBs we have to slot in then. Kos can't be relied upon. Monreal is getting old. We basically have Sokratis and Mustafi there while Rob is out.
Who is going to take this guy off of us? We pay him ridiculous wages..
Country: England
Sokratis, Mustafi, Chambers, Mavropanos, Koscielny, Holding, Bielik.
‘Small squad’
We’re bloated in every position.

Mark, if the players can't be sold and they're still at the club then its difficult to purchase anyone regardless of what financial position you're in.

One of Bielik or Chambers will go - both have the same profile, utility players brought in by Weng who he tried and failed to mould into CB's, who have then gone on to excel at CDM. Personally, I'd keep Bielik and Freddie's influence may be telling here.
It's probable that we are taking a get them in before we sell approach just to be cautious and so that we don't leave ourselves short. After all, we are extremely slow and unreliable at getting transfers done. If we bring in two CB's, I'd expect Kos to be off and Mustafi will go. Emery dropped him in important games later in the season so it's obvious he doesn't fancy him. As hard as it is to believe, he will have his suitors once his agent declares he is available, I just think we are waiting to get incoming deals over the line before we pull the trigger on outgoings.
Emery knows he only has the year to prove himself so I don't think he'll take any prisoners. Remember that he tried to freeze Neymar out at PSG so he ain't scared.

Leno, Martinez*. Cech gone and Ospina sold.
Bellerin*, Jenkinson*. Lichsteiner gone.
Sokratis, Koscielny, Holding*, Chambers*, Mustafi, Mavropanos.
Kolasinac, Monreal.
Elneny, Torreira, Bielik, Maitland Niles*, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Willock. Ramsey gone.
Özil, Mkhitaryan, Nelson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi*. Welbeck gone.
Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.
Squad numbers wise we're fine to bring players in. 22 players out of a possible 25 and that's including Jenko, Chambers and Elneny who will most likely be sold. Another good thing is we can still add 3 foreign players with ease due to only having 14 out of the allocated 17 possible.
Looking at the squad written out its quite clear that we need a backup right back. In an ideal world you also get rid of Mustafi, Chambers and Kosc whilst bringing in Saliba and a more experienced centre half. I think the latter two will happen this summer but Mustafi will probably stay.
Central midfield is bloated. Elneny can go and Maitland Niles needs to play in his favoured position so thats a nice like for like swap. After that I think we're good in that area, just need to sign someone if Torreira leaves.
Attacking mids/wingers is such a dead area right now. Another position which will take a couple of seasons to switch up with Özil and Mikky unlikely to leave. Martinelli and a marquee winger desperately needed.
Left back is a one in one out scenario. The one in of course being Tierney.
The ideal ins situation in my eyes?
Saliba - loaned back for a season while we sort the Mustafi nonsense.
More experienced CB.
Tierney
Martinelli
Carrasco
If that happens this summer I'd be content. Its very doable even if we can just get rid of Chambers, Kosc/Mustafi, Elneny and Kolasinac.

RIP Arsenal transfer budget.

The guys worth over 8 billion, I'm sure he won't have to dip into Arsenal's measly transfer budget.

Sure I passed ‘Dunk and Saliba’ the other day, a firm of solicitors. They were defenders too.

Arsenal will reportedly move for AC Milan full-back Ricardo Rodriguez if they don’t strike a deal with Celtic for Kieran Tierney in the coming days.
The Gunners have had a second bid rejected for Celtic defender Kieran Tierney, though the Scottish champions have reportedly named the fee required to price the young full-back away and Arsenal are currently weighing up their next move.

Ric Rod had so much hype around him in the early part of the decade. Not sure how he's done in Milan. If it does happen then I bet it gets mixed in with the Torreira deal.
Remember when we thought Rodriguez was coming with Xhaka in 2016? Miss the days of having money to spend for transfers.

We are now being linked to Dwight McNeil, a good young player.

Not letting these ****s get me excited over a signing after how hyped I got for Adli last summer when they made it seem like it was a done deal.

Are we gonna lose out on Tierney because of 2-4 M?
Reminds me when we tried to sign Alonso from Liverpool.
Signing Bilel Hassaini would probably mean either Nelson or Amiechi is off.

We seem to be interested in few young wingers. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the people at the club aren't rating our youngsters as highly as some on here who think anyone who can do a step over should be a shoe-in.
