Arsene thinks he`s leaving a good squad that needs few additions

Probably the only person who thinks this and the gaps are to the casual fan even are obvious

Nothing against the often astonishingly fine football Arsenal play or the quality of some of the signings

A differing defence with a premiership legend in goal who may need an upgrade given last seasons patchy form something Chelsea fans realized

Holding and Chambers nice to have a UK spine but will they ever be trusted enough? Kolasinac should be doing better, Mertesacker has gone, Kos for me has seen better days, Mustafi has a damn lot to prove especially given the price, Monreal needs an upgrade, Bellerin is potential but little proved seems to be linked with Barca every two days-Don Howe or George Graham would probably ship all these

Arsene loved his no10`s unfortunately whilst he has a World class number 10 in Ozil he`s hardly getting the best of him in fact away from home he`s something of a huge liability, unless you have the likes of Khadeira next to him to do the legwork and minding then its like playing with ten men. You certainly wont get that by hoping that for all their skill Wilshere and Ramsey will suddenly become Vieira/Gilberto in the defensive department its the biggest midfield quandary.

the other biggest one is to spend so much on Xhaka and expect him to play as a box to box player, which is equal to playing Frank Lampard on the wing, Xhaka operates best as deep lying playmaker or midfield pivot something that the much experienced manager never worked out

Wingers- Mkhi is class saddened he didn't do it more at Man U, Ramsey may be a good option the other side Welbeck wouldnt, Iwobi has an awful lot to prove

Forwards-Lacazette and Aubameyang i`d play both of them if fit, those two up front if not then do the one up front thing we see too much of nowdays
