Bent on his knees by asking to get banned !
Basically we need Özil, Guendouzi, Partey and Elneny as our primary midfield options.
Player:Saliba
Gabriel
Saliba
Partey
Tierney
Smith Rowe
Mainland-Niles
Nelson
Pepe
Balogun
Auba
Want the rest gone over the next two windows. We have to be humble, make smart acquisitions

Leno wasn't part of problem and if matteo loan is successful he'll need be here next season
Out:
Bellerin
Xhaka(for free if needed)
Lacazette
Willian
Mustafi
Sokratis
Luiz
El Neny(no hate but he was and still is bang average)
Ceballos
Chambers
Cedric
Nketiah
We should get a combined 80 mil for this 3rd league material.
Build the team with Gabriel, Partey, Tierney, Saka, Leno, Auba, ESR, Azeez, Amn, new cb and new explosive mf

Think we must have among the dumbest squads in the league. We are such a ****ing clown show year in and year out lately. Leading the the stupid train are ****s like Mustafi and Xhaka. ****ing mistake prone, inbred goat ****ers the lot! Wish they could all just **** off! 
Player:Saliba
Until end of season
Nelson, Saka and Pepe can interchange, moving into the hole, out to the wings. El-Neny can come in and out depending on opponent. Fullbacks don't both bomb forward. Get the basics right, no more hybrid formations that change with every passage of play
Leno
AMN - Saliba - Gabriel - Tierney
Partey
ESR - Saka
Pepe ----- Nelson

Haven't seen Saliba play here yet properly but aside of him, i would really love to see this line-up. Even if we lose some games, if we can witness some positive football again... I will be able to sleep well during weekends.

In The Winchester, Waiting For This To Blow Over
Country: Northern Ireland
Player:Gabriel
Best squad of the Emirates era...probably the 2007/2008 one, though 2014/2015 side isn't far behind.

Probably need a clear out except for around 7-10 non-youth players and then combine with youth players for a reset in club dressing room culture.
Leno, Gabriel, Tierney, AMN, Partey, Saka, maybe Holding for depth because his attitude is ok, maybe Cedric for depth also.
Hopefully we can bring 3-5 players at the same time similar to Szobosclai by end of summer if they are willing to join. Ideally five players with help of sales, wages off books, and a club ownership prepared to be aggressive.
Giving a go next season with a fluid front line including Martinelli and Balogun could be fun.
Problem is except for contract expirations clearing out the rest in one summer, and that might not be possible even with massive effort and cutting losses.
Even all of this with a fresh start would probably take us to equivalent to where Chelsea were beginning of last season.
Doesn’t matter what manager we bring in, managing the club with distractions of toxic deadwood is wearing beyond initial highs of honeymoon periods.
The above is aggressive bordering on expecting miracles. Without something like that though expect a mess at this club for 2-3 seasons more at least.

The problem among many with Arsenal fans is their agenda, yet they roast players for having one when it affects their career! Most people here **** on Neny when he's one of our better performers. I know I would prefer him over Henderson, and he starts for the champions.

In January, we have
Auba, Balogun, Martinelli, Pepe,
Saka, Nelson, Partey, Tierney, Gabriel
Leno
These players make a difference on the pitch. Everyone else no one cares about.
In addition, we need to add a world class finisher to play ahead of Balogun, and at least one impact CM to play with Partey.
In January, get rid of all mutineers first and foremost at any cost. We need winners at Arsenal if we are going to make some real progress.
+2/3 new players

Leno- good keeper
Bellerin- not good enough.
AMN- has potential but at the minute not good enough.
Sokratis- not good enough.
Mustafi- terrible player.
Holding- back up
Chambers- not good enough
Saliba- promising young player.
Gabriel- good CB
Luiz- past it
Mari- back up
Kolasinac- terrible player
Tierney- good LB
Xhaka- disgraced the club, should be gone.
ElNeny- not good enough
Ceballos- not good enough
Partey- world class cm
Özil- finished
Willock- young, needs a loan
ESR- young, needs a loan
Nelson- young, needs a loan
Saka- good young player, should be a squad player.
Martinelli- good young player, should be a squad player.
Pepe- inconsistent, has talent, needs a run of games, the jury is still out.
Auba- proven top class goalscorer
Lacazette- no where near good enough.
Eddie- back up at best.
Am I missing anyone? I count 4 players that are first 11 quality, a few that are good squad players, then a massive drop in quality with players that shouldn't be anywhere near Arsenal.
Change the manager if you want, if the quality of the squad isn't drastically improved very quickly, then we have no chance.

Good news: we get rid of many of them automatically 'cause their deals expiring
Bad news: nobody will pay the wages of Xhaka, Willian, Lacazette and Cedric so we're stuck with them. Or we can probably loan them out while absorbing part of their wages but getting them out permanently and completely off the wage bill is unlikely
Basically in January we'll need Partey get fit Martinelli get firing quickly and buy 2 creative players we also in desperate need to sell few of those c**ts
Player:Saliba
We're in a situation where we're hoping a group of kids like Martinelli, Nelson and Smith-Rowe might save us and a manager who shows no signs of even playing them
Its similar like last season just seem no progress been made and got worse Freddie came on benched most seniors and started ESR Nelson AMN MartinelliWe're in a situation where we're hoping a group of kids like Martinelli, Nelson and Smith-Rowe might save us and a manager who shows no signs of even playing them

They are c**ts if the Sokratis situation is so upsetting for them. “Highly respected” and yet his performances were not good enough, esp. with his hotheadedness. It is just a clique with little regard for performance, maybe just nostalgia about the past. The assessment that some of our problems are due to a bloated squad with inevitable upset egos is spot on. Poor club management and a clique of players with a terrible attitude.
Player:Saliba
When are we going to get some players that allow us to win the battles all over the pitch?
When are we going to get some players who can run, and win races?
When are we going to get players who can receive the ball somewhere other than a non-threatening win position and turn or pass somewhere other than back?
When are we going to start buying players that can contribute but improve during a rebuild?
When are we going to start planning how the squad looks and plays with a longer term view?
