GK (a great one)
CB (at least one, the others to test with a new manager)
RB (two if Bellerin leaves: I hope no)
DM (if Wilshere leaves, otherwise the our midfield can be great with the right manager)
Winger (ABSOLUTELY necessary; attack is too predictable without it)

Anyway, the new manager have to decide, hopefully soon.

I would try and offload Ozil and boost our transfer funds , can't see anyone paying his ridiculous wages though, he was a disgrace last night, I can't see the new manager putting up with that for long.

I reckon we need about 20 new players because I honestly cannot think of more than about 5 worth keeping !
That’s how bad a shape we’re in!
So good luck to the new gaffer whoever he may be!!

I think we've got to look to make quick money where we can. If we could get £40/45M each for Bellerin and say Ramsey then that along with the reported £50M transfer budget would give the new guy a decent wedge to concentrate on the key areas where we need to improve. If we can get anything sensible for xhaka and mustafi then I'd grab that too. Then it's a GK, RB, CB and DM and with the money available and current prices we'd have to be clever with the prices of a couple of those purchases.

Good luck to the new bloke - he inherits a geriatric turd in goal backed up by the modern day Average Al, a ballerina at right back, one crocked CB for 6-9 months supported a bus load of shit ones, a wooden plank of a holding midfielder and a bunch of fancy dans and Joe Averages going forward

11 fucking new players minimum

Merci Arsene indeed, you useless old c.unt

When does the time limit for renewing/buying a ST come up? I expect to see the infamous invisible 'War Chest' grow almost weekly to enormous limits, until the window closes for ST's, then it will be back to 50m bar selling anyone. Don't be fooled people!

Anyhooo – whilst all this wenger fukin’off shyte is going on – It seems Gazidis & the Transfer team are not waiting for him to do one…

The Gunners have started talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen's German goalkeeper Bernd Leno, 26, as a replacement for veteran Petr Cech. (Bild, via Express)


Just hope it's true. :?

Yep relegated keepers and managers who have no experience, this is what being 'bold' is all about.

I agree. Great. They have had plenty of practice. No coincidence that Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton were two of England's greatest goalkeepers after playing for Leicester and Stoke. Pickford seems to be doing a good job at Everton after all the practice he got at Sunderland whereas Joe Hart has gone into steep decline after his stint at Manchester City.

First act of any new manager is to look at the XI who started against Atletico in the second leg and get rid of all of them. Only Chambers and Micky Targayan played well and they were both subs. Maybe Jack could be kept, but I wouldn't miss any of the others

Second act is to look at who is in the Under 23s and see who has the abililty to potentally make the first team. Not all of them will, but George Graham gave the likes of Quinn, Caesar and Hayes a go before finding better options (namely Smith and Marwood). However he unearthed a number of gems like Adams, Rocastle and Merson. (Davis preceded George and aside from his goal at Anfield Thomas was never that good)

Third act - fill in the gaps. Graham did it by signing Winterburn, Dixon, Bould, Smith etc. Wenger did it signing Vieira, Petit, Anelka, Overmars etc.

Whoever takes charge will need 3-4 years to get Arsenal back to challenging for the title. More like 1986 than 1996 in my opinion.

To go : The eleven who started second leg against Atletico except Jack
To keep: The rest though BFG has retired and Carzorla is unlikely to return.
To return: Maybe a new manager might give Joel Campbell and Lucas Perez a go. Martinez might be worth having as second keeper.
To sign: As many defenders as possible. Three or four minimum. How I used to groan at George Graham stockpiling centre halves. Now I know better. Need to halve the number of goals conceded. Letting in fifty plus is relegation standard.
