I'd sell Auba or Laca in a heartbeat for over 80m.

Mhki/Ozil/Laca or Auba/Kola or Nacho/Xhaka/Mustafi/Elnenhy/Jenko being sold can raise a decent amount of money, as well as a decent amount of wages being freed up .

Edit: Nelson and ESR are also coming back from loan, so those are like two new signings.


It pains me to say this, but in order to buy top top quality, the club needs to sell first.

Unfortunately I think player sales is the only way to increase funds for the transfer market with the club at the moment.

Which is great, because we have many we need to move out. Going forward, it'll be a matter of trying to not move too many out at once. So, more like Liverpool and less like Monaco.

On a different note, I’m happy there’s only one match left in the Puma era, and I’m excited to see what adidas brings out. I will definitely be getting a few items.

They leaked some stuff the other day it seems, and I like some of it. I was hoping to either pick up some Puma stuff at a discount on the way out, or wait for Adidas stuff. But I'm still gonna yearn for Nike.

I've either disliked or been apathetic towards everything we've had with Puma. I'm thrilled that it's almost done.

I disliked every home kit for sure.

Apparently there’s some interest from AC Milan in Mustafi. I think he would do really well there.

That’s an impossible photoshop and I’d say these look legit.

Love it. Those feel like Arsenal kits—the away kit this season was just...I can't even.

Post-final thoughts:

That was our shot. That was our only shot at moving through some kind of transition quickly. Win the EL, get back into the CL and hope the increased revenue goes to transfers which can get us into the top-four places again. That was our shot.

We didn't take it, which to me means we now should go the other direction entirely. Cash-in on either Auba or Laca this Summer—do anything possible to move Ozil out, and clear out as much dead weight as possible from the squad who are eating up wages.

Give some academy kids a shot at starting matches—they'll improve if they get chances. Buy youth and suffer through their growing pains. The squad needs entirely rebuilt—not amended, not altered, rebuilt.

Unai Emery is not the manager for this job. He was the manager to attempt the quick solution which was getting back into the CL via the EL. He has shown an unwillingness to trust youth and whether or not it was due to the pressure of expectations, I don't think he's the right manager to move forward if we truly want to rebuild instead of taking another shot at the EL or top-four with a thrown together squad.

Blow it up and try something entirely different—that's how I would move forward. We wasted our one shot at the quick road, so now we take the long road.
