And then I would start shifting the old men. Pretty much leave Aubameyang, Willian and Luiz. And even they can be discussed at the end of the season. And really start to learn about the kids. And figure out who you want to sell / keep.
Never say this if you are in Ireland.
We should have been focussed on youth all along. Arteta has made his bed though, he bought Willian and resigned Luiz while taking about a title within 3 years. Thats the path he chose and now he has to live with it. If he goes we need a manager who is focussed on the future, on the young players and we need a longer term strategy. No more has beens on big wages and we need to cash in on players who are doing well but getting on, even if they are our biggest stars.
