John Cunt is fake news

The fake news came from Arsenal

then you pay for it.

I didn't say replacing Alexis' output would be cheap, I just don't believe he is hard to replace.

How much of a budget you think the new manager would have and what areas do you think we urgently need new players?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I get that you were putting the question to someone else but I'll have a crack at it

There is no reason a new man would be given any more to spend than Wenger is, the change will be in how the scouting is done and who is responsible for the transfer negotiations (director of football?)

It would also be remiss not to assess the current squad so that a manager will decide which of the players are redeemable or not, and I honestly believe that with the exception of a few....a better manager and coaching team can get far more out of our current crop than Wenger is getting.

The priority would of course be replacing Ozil and Sanchez (though maybe not necessarily with like for like)

Beyond that, I would prioritise defensive midfielder (ffs) left back and goalkeeper

If Alexis and Ozil are here or not, we need a new CF. Alexis is great there but I'm not sure it's great for the team. Get Mbappe. He should be our first priority above all else but also get a CF with him.

I like Mustafi but I don't think he a partner for Kos. While Kos is still in gawd mode, get Koulibaly or give Holding more time. We need a faster, ball playing Per-like defender.

We also need a new left back. Someone who can contribute to our attack. I really think our issues with Xhaka is down to Wenger not knowing the type of midfielder he is. I think a solid 3 could work with two athletic 8s. Wenger a new CM but I like Oxlade there and if a new manager believes in either Ramsey/Wilshere, then keep him. I even think we could try Chambers there.

I think Cech is close to done so either decide if you want Woj back, and he been really good for Roma, or identify a younger keeper to replace Cech. I still think Cech is good enough but we need someone to be getting matches somewhere down the line.


Don't let this club fool you, there is a lot of money that can be spent and has been spent the last few seasons. I think Arsenal are only behind City and United in transfer money spent the last 4 seasons.

Even with our new sponsorship deals and TV money, we've barely spent over £100m in a transfer window. I can't see us spending £200m in one even if we have the money to spend. The money price tags touted for strikers these days is enough to even make the elite clubs rethink making a bid.

Rare commodity aren't they. Honestly can you remember a time where top goalscorers were at such a premium.

we will clear £400 million in revenues this year, or come close to it.

And we will be clearing out a few players. You all should really look at this club's finances, the money is there.
