Now forgetting the manager situation so this post isn't bombarded with a new manager comments lol.

But I think when we start rebuilding we really do need a new spine of the team. Obv cf we don't need another first teamer. So a new gk cb and cm are essential. I'm liking the looks of leno. Hopefully we move for him in goal. Cb we need a leader. Any thoughts for That? And a big tall cm to take the game by the scruff of the neck. i'm huge fan of savic but that'll never happen and dunno if he got a that mould. Doucoure might fit that cm role he has impressed me this season. What is everyone else's thought for the spine of the team. Obv more is needed but we won't get it all one summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

It’s so difficult to pick out who would be great where, like you say Savic will be way to expensive for me.

Central defenders are a nightmare, I was trying to think of all the recent big money buys across the top clubs and which if any CD stood out, maybe Alderweireld would be the only one whose truly shone.

A Keeper, 2 CB's and 2 DM's.

Keeper - Butland (Stoke)

CB's - Alderweireld is ideal, but I know him and he would not sign for Arsenal.
Maguire (Leicester) and Tarkowski (Burnley)

DM's - Lamina (Southampton) and Doucoure' (Watford)

I would sell/ loan/ release:
Ospina
Chambers
Elneny
Holding (loan)
Iwobi (loan)
Campbell
Perez
Akpom.

Thanks whichever editor edited this for me i made a right hash of sending it lol. Yeah I agree we need 2 cb and 2 cm but I was trying to be realistic as can't see it. I am struggling to think if defenders tho. As you said a lot of big money signings haven't done too well. Umtiti is he available? He looked quite good prior his move to Barca. Maybe that'll be worth the risk. Or rugani. We really need a big change this summer.

{Ed002's Note - Both Umtiti and Rugani are seemingly heading elsewhere if they are sold - regardless Arsenal are not interested in either. I fear that Chris Smalling might be seen as an option but Medhi Benatia (CB) will remain first choice.}

Thank you for replying to that ed002 I appreciate it. wouldn't be too happy with smalling and haven't much knowledge on benatia. I wonder if there is to be a new manager this summer if the players We've been looking at in all positions will change slightly. Or is it the new head of Scouting that reccomends these players. Must admit I'm slightly out of touch with who decides which players to bring In these days.

{Ed002's Note - Any new manager would have a significant input but so will the Director of Football and the scouting team.}

Ed,
Are we still interested in Johnny Evans?
Does he have a £3m buyout if West Brom are relegated?
Thanks Ed.

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt there is interest.}

Thank you Ed.

Thanks for the reply ed.
