Clearly a few are perfectly happy with the squad because they try hard and we've improved.
However,
What do you think are top 3 priority signings are this summer and who needs to make way for them?
For me:
Left Wing
Striker
CM
Replace - Partey, Martinelli and Kai.
Clear out players like Jorginho, Zin etc and replace with internal youth and young signings
What other changes would you be looking for?
More direct style of play getting the ball faster by passing forward, in front of players and attacking players that can run at defenders.
Bit more variation in attack - less down the right side and less sideways
Better squad and cover for key positions
Better player rotation and substitutions
Rice to be captain
Not wholesale changes but material tweaks to talent, drive and mentality.
If we invest and get our attacking play right - we could have our own parade ? ? ❤️ ?.

Striker x2 gyko David’s (free)
Winger Williams, rydo, or the ac Milan winger
Cdm Zubi is already coming
Cm the Brighton lad
Back up keeper Garcia
And can we get dags and sy locked in a room together to see who comes out most negative lol only joking.

I’ll win Dublin lool.
1x Striker = Gyokeres
1x Left Winger = Rodrygo / Leao
CAM (to compete with Ode) = Cherki / Simmons
Move Kai and and Martinelli to the bench. Get a backup GK (Joan Garcia) and if you’re selling Trossard, then get Mbeumo (20 PL goals this season) . Plus Zubi already in the door.
I think that’s more than a reasonable summer. Sell the likes of Zinny, Tomiyasu and Trossard.

I doubt we'll be getting 6-8 signings in one window. It's not viable financially and arguably destabilises the team. I want less change so that we are ready from the start.
The main ones for me are striker, left wing and defensive midfielder. Maybe one or two more depending on departures.
On the tactics side pretty much agree with SY. We need central progression especially. Zubimendi would be instrumental in achieving that.

I know you all think I’m Mr Negative but this is a poor excuse you’re making for the club. “‘Not viable financially” according to who? We made PROFIT last summer and spent £0 in January. We as fans all deserve whatever it takes this summer to ensure we are competing in all 4 competitions this summer. If that’s 5 signings, 6 signings, £200m, £300m, I don’t care.

Maybe a good thing you are not running the club then Dags.

3 signings can easily cost 200 million or more. 6+ would be closer to 400 million and at that point PSR probably makes things difficult. And like i said too many signings can be too destabilising.

You say that Sparky as if we are winning trophy after trophy. You maybe just don’t understand that I see a bigger picture which is greater than any agenda against Arteta, or players. Fans deserve more and if you want to disagree with that then maybe you’re just Mrs Kroenke in disguise.

Or maybe you don't grasp the implications of overspending. Think you would be better spending more time commenting on AFTV youtube channel Dags, they would love you there.

So: Gyokeres, Leao and Zubi would be super upgrades to existing squad.
Then we need to exit some players and replace eg Back up Keeper, Jorginho
That’s minimum change to starting 11 and bench.
Let the youngsters challenge for positions including Ode which means Rice has to be captain.
I’d be happy at that - shows intent and then we need to play with intent ?
Thanks for replies and thoughts ?.

Maybe stop trying to pick an argument and find something better to do with your life than trying to argue with someone who you don’t know at 11pm. Doughnut….

Anything less than 600m spent in this transfer window and Arteta must be tarred and feathered.

Morning just reading reports. (don’t know if 100% accurate or not) . but zubimendi possibly using arsenal as smoke screen and awaiting offer from Real Madrid. if true then quickly move on and find someone else. or is it going to be another summer of watching other teams do their business in a matter of days and us taking on average 3/ 4 weeks to complete deals. because as the saying goe, you snooze you lose… Arsenal telephone call to zubimendi… we really want you to come to the arsenal… (zubimendi” let me just see what Real Madrid say! ) . ”arsenal” wrong answer jog on mush… in my opinion if no concrete answer given, then that’s not good enough. plenty more fish in the sea…now I don’t know the situation with the lad at Atalanta (Emerson) but when we played them he was a beast, was their best player by a mile. not a huge name but decent player. (only my opinion) . but we can’t be dicking about in this transfer window waiting for people that don’t seem to be 100% ready to come and play for us. COYG/ VTH ?⚪️❤️.

Alright Mark, yes mate trying to have a conversation with someone who ends every sentence with "lool" is difficult though. Apparently though, I'm the one who is stupid.
