I think that we should clear out a lot of the deadwood. All the players who are currently on loan with the exceptions of Afobe, Ryo,Yennaris and possibly Lansbury (although I don't think Arsene rates him) should go. Bendy would be useful as back up but has burnt his bridges at Arsenal. Vela has hit some form but I don't think he is suited to the prem.
We also need to offload Diaby (never fit), Chamakh, Park , Squillacci and maybe Djourou if he is replaced with Vertongen.
Ramsey should go out on loan next season.
This should free up a considerable amount of money in terms of wages if nothing else and allow us to make 4-5 quality purchases.
We have seen what competition has done for Theo . Since OX came on the scene he has had to up his game. A little more quality competition in attack and midfield would do no harm. RVP looks knackered at the moment.
This would allow us to mount a serious challenge for trophies rather than be happy with scraping into Europe.
I suspect that Arsene will once again disappoint us with his stubborn attitude in the transfer market.
Summer Sales - Who should go?

A dream scenario, OP.
The reality will no doubt struggle to live up to it though.

I don't know what sort of contracts these loanees are on but by the law of averages some of them must be coming to an end soon.

agree with OP those players need to leave. Potential buyers i hear clubs in russia are flooded with cash so maybe they can buy some of the deadwood. I think Ramsey should be sold dont rate him i can see him at Newcastle for around 6-8m.
You can't just "get rid"; you have to find buyers who will take these players who are on higher wages than they should be.

We could do a PSG by making it very difficult for them to be at the club i.e tell them they have no chance of playing for us again & too look for a club.

Give Gervinho and Ramsey (on loan) one more season.
Why sell Walcott unless Real or City offer silly money? Jenkinson is ok as back up.
