Now the dust has settled we have 21 senior squad members left for the season.
When I count, I can’t get beyond 20 senior players left

- 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
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
