Zinchenko
Xhaka
Martinelli
Jesus
Replacing these 4 would give us proper depth to have a good cup run as well as competing in the league.
Jesus isn’t an out and out striker. As much as he works for the team, we need better if we’re to compete and win trophies
Zinchenko just isn’t good enough. The hype has gone and the penny has dropped. I’d rather have tierney over him right now and hope Kieran keeps his place for the remainder of the season.
Xhaka good team player that gives us a balance. But it’s time to move on and upgrade. Please not Declan rice!
Martenilli. I love the player but he frustrates the life out of me. If he learnt how to release the ball quicker, improve his passing, improve his finishing and improve his ball retention, there’ll be a player in there. We would have so much more goals to the team if he just lifted his head and made better decisions. Not yet good enough to carry us to a trophy.
Upgrades to the first 11 for next year

I agree Martinelli can be frustrating but he has stepped up for us a lot more than Saka and jesus of late
His ceiling is bigger than both

To be fair to Saka he's literally played every game possible all season plus the world cup. Martinelli has had some time out of the team, didn't really play much at the world Cup so he's going to look fresher.

I agree but saka form has dropped considerably at the time when we needed him most.
On the other hand, Martinelli has really stepped up

Would you guys sell Partey if it meant we got both Rice and Caicedo??

Of course. Is this a question? Never happening though.
Rice is obviously a serious target, but West Ham's greed makes it unrealizable.

I am be one of those who believe we need an upgrade on Jesus. Or to the very least, a player able to compete with him for the starting spot.
Game by game, he makes me realise why he was never a starter for City.
Thanks god we have other players who can score goals.

The first XI hardly needs upgrading to thay degree. It's shown this season that it's probably good enough to win the league. However, it's never a bad idea to upgrade on any player if you can but I don't think I'd start with the 4 you have mentioned.
The reality is we need to upgrade the players behind the XI but if any of those players end up being better than what we already have then great.

Well said Emile, I personally feel like this was one of wengers biggest flaws when in charge. He had chances to bring in similar players in quality to the first 11 but chose not to
Hopefully arteta doesn't make the same mistakes. U see with pep he will replace or still sign someone even if they are class player and main starter.
Mahrez and Forden for example.
