We clearly need more depth at the back but otherwise there's not loads wrong with our squad. I don't buy that we have 'injury prone players', I just think there's something wrong with the training, I don't know if there's stats out there about the injury records of our players before the come to us or after they leave vs their time with us, it would be interesting to see that.
What core will be left in a few years? Think long term. You often say you're worried about life after Wenger so think how much more difficult it will be if we haven't got the funds for the new guy to spend on new players? We have an ageing defence for starters and you don't help yourself by talking about last season compared to this one. What state will we be in when he steps down?
