Looks like we wont get the 4th place trophy. Instead we are getting the 3rd place trophy!

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

I think we'll fall short, I think we'll finish 5th. Man U will probably finish 4th given Chelsea's run-in.
With Chelsea getting Higuain and our defence decimated we might have to settle for 6th after all
If Emery can get us 4th with this ramshackle team, then he's a miracle worker.
I don't think we'll get top 4, we don't have the quality, the defence is awful, the midfield is pretty average and persisting with players like Xhaka doesn't help that, I also think Emery is making some poor decisions at the moment.
Man U are flying and are leaps and bounds ahead of us, to think they were miles behind not so long ago and that they've now caught up pretty easily, Chelsea aren't that good but have Hazard and Higuain could give them the goals they are missing, on that basis I just can't see us getting top 4.
I realised our squad was average but didn't realise how average to be honest, on top of that we're losing Ramsey probably one of our best performers for free, significant investment required to be honest, but I'm not sure we'll get it.
Worrying times, we've just got to hope we can pub the Europa League.
AST estimated we will get around £40m to spend this summer. Time to get smart in the market and start using the assets we have. With Bellerin out until later in the year, that would leave Laca as the only sellable option. Other than that, we’re set for the same again next sssosn, no matter who’s in charge. Hopefully the budget estimate is wrong.
If that's all we get it's embarrassing and this club should be ashamed of itself and how it's run, a shining example of what not do for other clubs. Even the PL paupers spend more than 40 million.
Lacazette is probably the one player in this entire squad I'd most want to keep, he works hard, scores and is a threat, if we have to sell him we may as well give up.
What we really need to do is sell as many of Xhaka, Iwobi, Eleneny, Mustafi, Lichsteiner, Jenkinson, Mikhi, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Ozil as we can, then spend whatever we get on some young players and some quality and promote a few of the decent kids. We're already losing Ramsey and Welbeck so that should free up wages as well.
This whole club needs rebuilding from top to bottom.
