As title says, IMO positions we need to upgrade are:
RB, CM (Xhaka's position), Striker (Toney type).
Backup positions needed:
GK, CB (but if we buy new RB then White can be Saliba's backup), LB (similar type to Zinchenko).
When you combine it, that is 5-6 new players needed.
First XI positions we should upgrade

Newcastle have played 5 players up front this season none were Joelinton
Martinelli and Trossard have both had very successful periods up front this season.
But, yeah, count Joelinton as a striker but completely rule out Arsenal pair 😂😂🤣😂😂🤣
Muggy caaant.

The fact you included Brighton then named 3 players Trossard started ahead of as striker makes you look ever muggier.

Thats fine , its your opinion. You cant understand the difference between a player that has played the vast majority of his career as a striker and changing position and a wide attacking player moving into a striker role.
have a lovely day , your a real credit to other arsenal fans.

I do find it telling that you going further and further from the original point .... very telling.
Your two strikers scored 19 goals in 68 games.

Arsenal haven't plated 68 games 🤔
The original point was Joelinton is Newcastles 3rd striker (hasn't played there all season) but Trossard (played a lot this season there) and Martinelli (brought through as a striker) aren't allowed to be mentioned.

Combined games, as I already pointed out previously (prior to you saying I couldnt read)
he hasnt played there all season cos he hasnt been needed, Wilson and Isak have been available all season. And the fact that Joelinton has played the majority or his position as a striker its his natural position or at least has been his whole career (outwith this season) is not the same as a wide player who have been wide players the majority of their career moving into the striker role.
I get it you think its the same thing and therefore a fair comparison, but its not the same.
But your happy with your strikers return so its all a moot point, you dont think you need another striker and the two natural strikers you have are good enough.
You think a return of 19 goals in 68 apps is good enough for a team that will be looking to try and win the league and / or champ league next year.

Well the first bit isn't true at all. Both Wilson and Isak have missed the same game more than once this season.
Joelinton has played most of his career as support striker or wide attacker (midfielder by your terminology). The last 2 seasons he has played midfield because he was totally useless when Newcastle tried playing him as main striker - because it is not his natural role.

Also, combining two players appearances and claiming them as different games even though almost every game one came off the bench, is the sort of spin you expect off of the slimiest liar of an MP.
