    Sounds like Auba isn’t going to sign a new deal.

    If a big offer comes in Jan I think we'll take it. Same for Laca. They won't want another season outside of the Champions League and at this rate we may not be in Europe at all.

    Do ya think ?

    I'd be happy staying in the premiership at this stage.

    Europe has well and truly gone this season 200%.

    We'll just have to hope Martinelli comes good, at least he's there to step in to the gap

    This is anothe reason I don't understand why the club took so long to sack Emery and didn't have a plan when they did, our two strikers (and two best players) have 1 year left, if you want to convince them to stay and sign a new contract they need a reason, a big manager they believe in, positive results that show we're going somewhere or something like that.

    Instead now they'll probably leave (can't believe it's happening again) and we'll be left with a huge hole to life and probably go another 10 years before seeing another decent goalscorer at Arsenal, I honestly don't know what goes through the mind of these people, these are the same people that gave Granit Xhaka, yes Granit Xhaka a new contract a guy with no market value whatsoever because he's not much good.

    Out of interest, when do you think they should have sacked him?
    For once I don't really think they dragged their heels on this one but the lack of plan about what next is troubling.

    Some people made a case for sacking him in the summer, but I think it was right to give him a bit longer the Sheff Utd result a shocker, but probably after Palace, we'd been poorly all season going back to the previous season, if not then then 100% after Wolves.

    When you look at the performances at the tail end of last season and all the performances this season, really he should have been sacked before he was, as you said though a replacement should have been in place immediately, this scenario is a disaster we're dropping more and more points.

    Think he should have gone earlier but you are only talking weeks really. Not like august or September. We all thought we had a very good summer. Im hindsight spending 70m on a winger and not proper defenders looks foolish.

    The board didnt want to sack him when they did hence no plan of what to do next or who. Am sure the board were hoping freddie could steady the ship and buy time.

    Im Rafa we trust

    We need footballing men at the top who can make the tough calls and have the foresight to see where things are going and hold the team to a certain standard.

    Sarri wasn't deemed good enough despite finishing 3rd and winning the EL. If Emery delivered that he would have been given a new contract. Levels.
