Fair enough but how do you see our first XI and second XI? Are there areas in your view that are clearly weaker than others in the squad? If so why have those areas not been prioritised? And why have we not utilised the resources available to us in our squad building - guys like AMN, Saliba etc. could have allowed us to focus our spending in different areas of the squad.
Centre-mid is the obvious area. I would personally suggest that is a problem area for many clubs though - Chelsea for example are still wrangling for a loan move there, United left it, Tottenham have churned through quite a few options without finding a solution.
I can't really be bothered to type out squad lists, but I do think there is a competent no.1 and no.2 in basically every position now (assuming we sign a right back today) for 343 or 433 which is basically it as far as Arteta goes.
