If a couple of players get injuries can we ask for the rest of the season to be postponed?

I’ve fucking slated him on here recently but watching the goodbye video package to Auba on the club’s Insta made me sad, such a fucking waste :cry:

I loved ya man, why did you do this to me.

How many top players is that now that did not reach their true potential or achieve the expected or hoped-for level of success with us....?

Fabregas, Ozil, Sanchez, Aubamewingie.... none of them won the league with us. A couple FA cups and that's it. Very disappointing really.

Now the dust has settled we have 21 senior squad members left for the season. Arteta will add 3-4 u-23's to that squad.
I'm speculating that Arteta was told need to cull the squad wages, and numbers as we only have league games to play. It means more recovery time, less rotation of players and less players to keep happy.
It makes sense to have a smaller squad given our current situation. I still believe 4th is achievable with the remaining squad players as they are the ones who have been picked to play regularly already this season.
Once everyone is back and available from suspensions and AFCON, we've got the squad that has put unbeaten runs together. Only 2 games in February, 3 in Match with 4 still needing to be rearranged. Wolves and NLD could easily fit in Feb/ March.
I don't think any of the teams fighting for 4th are any stronger after this transfer window. It's really our neighbours that could realistically beat us to 4th. We just have to deliver consistency now.

When I count, I can’t get beyond 20 senior players left :rubchin: - who am I missing?

Ramsdale, Leno
Tomiyasu, Cedric
Tierney, Tavares
Gabriel, White, Holding
Partey, Xhaka, Sambi, Elneny
Saka, Odegaard, ESR, Pepe, Martinelli
Laca, Nketiah

Yep. It’s only 20. Although the official site includes the keeper Okonkwo.

Interestingly when you look at the players out on loan, if you included that lot we would have a much stronger squad. Pity we choose to sign players and then subsidise their wages to play elsewhere.

Saliba
Bellerin (purely would work in a squad)
Torreira
Guendouzi
Mavropanos
Reiss Nelson
Balogun
Mari
AMN

And of those 18, smith-rowe has scored 8 goals and saka has scored 6, and between the other 16 outfield players we have scored 15 goals :oops: :oops:

Its absolutely shocking mismanagement isn't it? The mystery of William Saliba will outlive the meaning of life question. Arteta's bum chums will have you believe he's being brought back into the fold next season, whilst forgetting that they said the same thing last year. He will be loaned out forever until his contract runs dry - another £27m pissed up the wall.

Bellend should have been shot of years ago when clubs were still interested for anywhere between £20m-£30m. Guendouzi despite his misdemeanours is still highly valued in France and I suspect elsewhere but we'll let him go for fuck all too

Why we persuaded Balogun to stay but then kept on Nketiah who clearly isn't good enough (nor wants to be here) is equally mystifying. When our two remaining strikers have scored two goals all season from open play, you'd have to ask if he wasn't good enough to make the bench and the odd appearance in the run in, then when will he be ready?

Mari - just another Edu/Kia fuck up fuelled by agent greed to sit alongside Willian and Cedric.

AMN as a young Englishman would also have "Willock style" resale value but I bet he leaves for fuck all too

Clubs like Liverpool manage to knock out Solanke for £15m, whilst Willock apart we can't sell anyone
