I have no idea what the long term plan is, if we really are as skint as what is being reported...seems dubious to me....then we are going to need to blood Youth, we have no other option.
Xhaka I can stomach though I think he makes far too many stupid mistakes to be a regular part of a title winning side.....but Mustafi can be fired out of a cannon. He's a bit better but still way below what is required for the fans' ambitions.

We are not showing signs of a club that HAVE to get into the CL next season we are showing signs of a club who would really like to. If Emery fails to get us back in and he is fired, he will have some legitimate grievances.
