Not only in the PL, but in Europe as well.
Don't let our recent failings blind us.
Players Out
No way I'd sell him he's got massive potential. He still has a lot to learn defensively which is normal at his age.
Dula what are you smoking. Most top teams would take Bellerin.
He has flaws but nothing that can't be fixed by a top manager.
He has an over inflated transfer value at the moment and there are several right backs out there who would better fit what we need at a lesser price.
If we had Aurier we'd be a better balanced team for example
Hector Bellerout … zing
It's ironic that he wants to leave if Wenger leaves. He'd flourish faster under a different manager.
I see the clubs or AWs PR spin is setting us up to believe that the sky will fall in if AW departs = so be it.
Same thing was said about Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, Adebayor, Robin etc and we ended up losing them. These were players who swore allegiance to Wenger but conveniently left when other clubs offered more dough. You never heard Rooney, Scholes, Giggs etc saying they would leave Man U if Fergie retired because the club always came first. Wenger's presence has become counter productive to keeping players. He indulges them and suddenly they think they are too big for the club. It's all about Arsene Wenger FC isn't it.

If we had a chairman with any balls he'd show them all the door.
However it seems apparent that the club prioritises it's own policy over anything,
with the recent reports that they will not break their wage structure for Ozil and Sanchez,
which also means that AW remains as the top earner.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, 25, is open to a move to Serie A side AC Milan in the summer. Wilshere, who is nearing the end of his one-year Bournemouth loan spell, says David Beckham recommended the move to Italy. (Daily Mail)
Cash in. Let's throw Walcott into the deal
Yeah let's sell everyone. We have so many good players it doesn't matter.
Debuchy, Gibbs, Chambers, Jenko, Ramsey, Coquelin, Walcott would be the first batch I would get rid of, would free up at least 500k a week.
Just offer a BOGO sale on that lot.
Yeah who needs a squad?
Nothing wrong with selling underperforming players for inflated fees and replacing them with better ones at lesser cost than recovered
Who said we don't need a squad Gurgs?
Easier said than done though Dules.
