    “But first I think we have to keep 90 per cent of these players together and find one or two more who strengthen the group but we don’t need a lot. We don’t need many. But we need maybe top quality.”

    He's as predictable (and boring) as there is, he can't even come up with something original to feed the fans, same old same old, he's forgotten about the disaster than took place this season already thanks for a handful of meaningful games, you have to ask what's wrong with him.

    We have a squad who should be challenging already so basically he's right. We're under-performing because of Wenger, not because the squad isn't good enough. It's not that far away.

    The bit you've quoted is more or less exactly what you said a couple of months ago...

    He's not right at all, we need a top striker (we can't rely on dross like Walcott, Giroud and Wellbeck and Perez wil be gone), a quality winger (we need someone who can take on and beat players at long last), a proper DM (Xhaka isn't the answer, he can't tackle), a new CB (Mertersacker is finished, Gabriel isn't up to scratch) and LB (to replace Monreal and give us some decent cover as Gibbs is dogshite) at least. We'll need another keeper as well as Ospina will be on his way.

    That's more than two right there, those results at the end of the season mean little, they were results when basically the pressure to achieve anything had gone, results we seem to get every season when it no longer matters.

    Within that group of new players we need some leaders with a bit of bottle who are winners and don't go missing when things go against them like the current lot. Major surgery needed right now.

    and yes we need a new manager as well, which looks more and more unlikely, that's on top of making changes to our youth setup, owner, medical team and losers mentality that runs through the club.

    The club is in a mess from top to bottom right now, let's not pretend otherwise.

    We are 100% away with Wenger in charge, 2,3,4,5 signings? None of it will make a difference irrespective of who he brings in. He's not capable of building a team to challenge for the title.

    Agreed, but with the right manager the squad as it is should be challenging. We only need a couple of top signings to push us on. The big issue right now is with the manager, not with the squad.

    Exactly. How long has it taken him to switch to switch formation? But even when he does switch formation he plays the wrong combination of players or when he finally stumbled upon something that works, one injury to a key component sets us backwards. Over the past 4 or 5 seasons we've been heavily dependent on individual talent to get us over the line.

    Again wrong, two signings won't be enough to challenge the big boys, we don't have enough quality, it's been demonstrated year after year. Take Sanchez out of the mix this year and we'd probably be in real trouble, we need more players who have the quality to win you matches.
