Only Bellerin & Kos would be classed as good enough defenders for any other top club. Take away Ozil & Sanchez as they could be gone anyway & apart from Cazorla, there is not a footballing brain of any quality in any other squad member.
How much more do we need to see of Gibbs, Monreal, Theo, Ramsey, Coq, Welbeck, Giroud to realise they are not good enough & why on earth give Merts a new contract.
We need a serious clear out & only a new manager will do it.
To be honest I think any new manager over time and I don't mean a long period would make quite big changes to the squad and first XI. As it stands we don't have a nailed on first XI or real identifiable core which in itself is an issue.

We don't really have any leaders or strong characters...not in the obvious sense anyway.

One thing we know about Wenger is regardless of the outcome of the season he won't rock the boat, he has his principles and one of those is that he won't make mass changes to the playing squad, he never has done. If he signs on for two more years which is looking likely, then I reckon we are looking at 4 or 5 changes at max this summer, of which you can bet 2 or 3 of these players will be eased in.
