If we had a manager in the form of Allegri or Simeone then I'm sure the team with a few new players and a lot of our dead wood players shipped out to ever is willing to stomp up the cash for them, then I believe we would be challenging
for every domestic cup / PL and more importantly the Champions League, but while Wenger is allowed to dictate his own terms to the Board and Kroenke then we will never ever move on, we will become a laughing stock and probably be relegated.

Albeit winning the
domestic cup competition can not be as significant as winning the Premier League or the Champions League — two most coveted pieces of silverware
for any top club — it would have given Wenger's wizards the relief of having finally won a trophy after so long, as well as the belief to continue in the same vein in the future.
We also seemed to get the worst possible outcome every time there was a draw made

High hopes
for Reiss Nelson who looks the part at 8 and far more developped than Ox... But let's face it will all the cash we spend to watch Arsenal, dress the part and all the money they bring in with Tv deals, commercial deals that keep growing & kit deal we don't want to hear that there is no money... We sent out on either on loan or sold: Gabriel, Szczesny, Emilio, Ox, Perez, Campbell, Gibbs, Chris Willock and now it looks a bit thin if you ask me to play Europa, the
domestic cups & the EPL... with Sanchez & Mesut gone
for free... as a business we didn't do anything savvy.
If we cant win the league because we play
domestic cups and champions league, then... I'll just leave that sentence
for others to reflect upon...
Just signing 1 good player each season is not going to get us anywhere, we will keep struggling

That's something many of Arsenal's current wingers struggle with and so I think Willock could certainly be set
for an appearance here and there next season, especially in the
domestic cup competitions.

If Crowley was to stay at Arsenal
for the upcoming season, it was likely we may have seen him in the early rounds of the

for giving players that professional edge that they need when developing as a youngster.

To compete at the highest level today (and I am not talking about 4th and a
domestic cup and making R16 in champions league) and win the EPL and win the CL or make it far we need a squad with quality in depth not just numbers to
for depth like we do with Arteta, Flamini and the likes.
