If we really want to sell kosh and Nacho then leave them out of the team that'll go to USA.

Monreal will leave when we sign Tierney.

Ideally you get rid of Kolasinac but his wages will put people off.

Highly unlikely based on Monreal's one-year extension. Room for all three while the manager still may want to play back three with wingbacks until he is more confident in what we have at CB.

btw, why do we not have squad depth thinking until it is too late, deep into the season?

We need Two Left Backs for the USA tour and Tierney will not be signed before that.

Koscielny will get on tour too, because we surely would like to get a small fee for him.

Take them to tour will make things more complicated for us to sell leaving them behind it'll force them to leave quick

His extension was done in September. It was either lose him on a free this summer or extend a year and get a fee for him.

The club would have been rejecting £5-10m by not renewing. Probably why they never officially announced the extension.

ok, I just see it as a veteran being at the club for one last season, but we will see. IMO, A flexible option for squad depth and insurance perhaps for development of other LB players, potentially including Tierney. I do also think he comes in useful for back three whenever we decide to play that.

At the moment they are still important parts of the team.
Koscielny is a starter at the moment (until Holding is 100% back) and Monreal will battle with Kola for the LB spot.

Would be stupid to let them at home, just because their "could" be a deal. Only if it's nearly 100% done, but we have to wait how reliable these sources are.

Kola is a bit **** in a back 4 but it is what it is

By saying that you're implying that he's better as a LWB, further upfront. However we've all seen HOOOOOFF that ball in vs Chelsea in the Final at a point where the match hasn't turned into a burning pile of ****.

He's a good athlete but a shockingly bad footballer.

RB is no priority. Next.

Of course its a priority to have an actual backup to Bellerin.

Come Monday there will be around 3 weeks until the window closes and we don't have any first team players in.

Its slightly worrying, we're stuck on Tierney as the left back option. Zaha is obviously our main target on the wing but when do you give up?

Arsenal Quotes

Thierry Henry was very quick at analysing everything that was going on and how he needed to react. This intelligence, this capacity to evaluate, understand and question oneself, is also the mark of great players... For everyone, for the fans and for us, he symbolised the golden age of Arsenal.
