What do we actually need
Backup for Leno, can't see Macey, Ospina or Martinez as good enough
Mustafi gone and a replacement CB, Holding should be back next season and possibly Chambers and Mavrapanos as further back up, do we still need another, probably?
Monreal needs replacing and i'm definitely not sold on Kolasinac so at least one here
Bellerin much as i malign him will be our only recognised RB next season with Stefan gone and Jenkinson going to, so a definite hole to fill there
So 4 possibly 5 slots to fill in defence/goalkeeping
I still think we need another DM, a proper one, Lucas ran out of steam and Matteo was far too rash (age and experience required), Xhaka can sing as far as i'm concerned, oh and Elneny....nuff said. With Ramsey gone and Ozil being who he is we struggle in CM, yes there are some youngsters but we need strengthening there
Both L/R Mid or Wingers depending on formation are required, Iwobi can fuck of and take Mhiki with him, again some potential youngsters but no right now players so at least one either side
So again we need potentially 3 or 4 Midfielders
Up front we're not too bad if we can hold onto both on the otherhand if we can get decent money for PEA i'd take it and get a replacement and use the change to strengthen elsewhere, unfortunately with Welbeck out of contract we're still short a backup so yet another hole to fill, again i'm not convinced on the youngsters.
So over all we need between 7 and 10 players this summer.......might get away with 5 or 6, thats some creative accounting required on a £45M budget plus sales
So Mr Emery you get your second season by default, i hope you can work miracles because its not just about clearing out and replacing you've got to do it quickly to get a squad together and get them to gel before the new season
