We need to admit that arsenal is far better than us today. However, it is largely because Ozil and Sanchez give a shit again. I can't see them signing new contracts for arsenal (well, especially you realise how good Man City is). It is still interesting to see whether Arsenal will sell them in January or let them go as free agents in summer. Either way, today's game definitely shows that it would be a disaster for them in the coming future. All we need to do is to wait (and win games)
Can't see Ramsey leaving. He seems very much in his comfort zone at Arsenal. They'll keep the majority of their players.They will have to replace possibly 10 players next summer due to age/contracts/injury. These aren’t fringe players. Ozil sanchez mertesack Giroud Ramsey wilshere cazorla etc. There’s no way on earth they can just go out and buy like for like will cost about £400m. They will have to go route we did and try and buy young promising talent relatively cheap. Which is why they’ve got this Dortmund scout in. But there’s absolutely no guarantee they will be as lucky as we have been finding the dele eriksen Dier rose etc. I honestly believe without serious serious investment they will more or less take our place of last 10 years that’s if they are lucky 4 to 6 th . Possibly it could be a lot worse for them.

Ozil and Sanchez will go, Cazorla and Mertesacker will probably retire and that'll be mostly it. They'll replace Ozil and Alexis with two decent players and they'll plod along just fine.
The key for Arsenal will be to make sure they get those two replacements right.
First of all with goalkeepers neither Cech or Ospina will leave.Nah you’re under estimating the situation. By summer will have x10 30+ players and 15 FIFTEEN players out of contract or in last year. Ramsey will be 27 in summer with 1 year left on contract. If they finish 5/6 th again I think he’d seriously consider his future. Could see him at Chelsea or pool.
First of all with goalkeepers neither Cech or Ospina will leave.
In defence, I can only see Debuchy leaving who barely plays anyway and Mertesacker may retire. Monreal won't leave.
In midfield, Cazorla will retire but they haven't really missed him anyway. Obviously Ozil and Alexis are going. Ramsey will still have a year left and i'm not sure Wenger will be quick to sell. He seems happier at Arsenal than Oxlade-Chamberlain did and eventually I think he'll sign on. The Wilshere situation is uncertain.
Upfront, Giroud loves Arsenal and I doubt he will leave this summer. I doubt Welbeck will leave but I think Walcott will.
Essentially they need to replace Ozil and Alexis first and foremost. Then they'll probably need 1 or 2 defenders and possibly a midfielder depending on Wilshere. I think Wenger has the kid Nelson in mid who could replace Walcott.
No you're right it is difficult but it's almost do or die for Arsenal. I think they'll spend whatever is necessary to get the top talent. I think they'll be looking at the likes of Lemar and Fekir who are excellent players.They have barely missed Cozorla, you sure about that?
Also if Sanchez and Ozil leave which is looking likely that's two of their best players (When Ozil can be asked) it's very difficult in itself to replace one of your best players let alone two.

Squad wise to replace ozil Sanchez mertesack cazorla with players of equal quality you are talkin £200-250m and that’s being conservativeNo you're right it is difficult but it's almost do or die for Arsenal.

The only way Arsenal may be affected is the impact it may have on other positions. They won't make any money from Ozil and Alexis and they're going to need to spend big on replacements. That might make them struggle to sort out their other problems in defence and central midfield hopefully.
I don't think all those are urgent to next summer though. Koscielny is still a high quality defender and I suspect they will only replace him and Giroud the following season. Giroud in particular has never relied on pace.Squad wise to replace ozil Sanchez mertesack cazorla with players of equal quality you are talkin £200-250m and that’s being conservative
Cech will be 36 and starting to look it
Koscielny will be 33
Debuchy 33 just a body will leave
Ramsey as said a year left.if has any sense will see what they do in summer
Wilshere most likely leave
Walcott last year as well most likely leave
Giroud will be 32 and last year as well
As said that’s 10/11 players in next year or 2 that will need to be replaced. And I haven’t included dead wood like chambers and akpom.
So as I first said without major investment in next 2 years they will be on the decline.
There are still a lot of Clubs in it that are 5000 miles away, hopefully their draw is kind to usLost to cologne then.
I hope the are in the shitty Europa league as long as we were. It really is an awful competition until it throws up funny results like last night.

Apparently signing that scout effectively rules Tuchel out of the Arsenal job as they had a big falling out at Dortmund.
Two weeks ago I couldn't see how they'd finish above us. I'm a little concerned now. We really need to sort these Wembley performances against these teams who come for a point
