    So with the news that there are unlikely to be any spectators possibly for the entire season then there won’t be any big name signings. Arsenal more than any club suffer financially from lack of match day revenue, you cannot spend money you don’t have without the bulk of your income stream. Certain posters don’t seem to understand this model even though I’ve explained it many times. We haven’t made any inroads in dumping the dross so we are still lumbered with Mustafi, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac, Ozil, Torreira, Elneny, and Xhaka. We certainly need reinforcements in midfield with Ceballos who is only on loan our main creative force. Lack of creativity was our biggest issue against West Ham, Xhaka was poor from the off giving the ball away and putting it directly out of play for no reason on a number of occasions, the vast majority of his attempted passes went backwards and it was no surprise every newspaper gave him low marks, only Kolasinac received poorer marks. Xhaka just isn’t good enough but we can’t bring the players in we need Until we dump the dross but no one wants them. Our only option is to play our talented youngsters, they have to figure more than they have, they are our future. And on top of all this we have Pepe, £72m and now a reserve who has flopped, I doubt we could give him away now. Play the kids against Leicester especially in midfield, movement and creativity will improve without Xhaka.

    As you say without any outgoings we will have the squad we have now no doubt about that. Even If we shift some surplus ones we might not sign one instead promote youth.

    But we will see what happens in the weeks that are left.

    There will be a lot of huffing and puffing from inside the club and leaked rumours to the press about who we are chasing but I can’t see much if anything happening. We should have learnt by now that the dross aren’t going to deliver so we have to use the youngsters. And of course our financial situation is only going to get worse as the season progresses, much, much worse.

    Everybody knows this, we are in the middle of a worldwide Pandemic. Every club in Europe is going to be effected by this. Our best Youth players are in the squad and get games. Arteta plays his best 11 every week which is what I want to see, as we want to win the game. The squad was never going to be sorted this window we were always going to be left with some players still in the club we cant shift, so not really sure what your point is?

    Steve2bath1, the point is very simple, or it should be. Arsenal are short of cash due to wasting millions on poor players during the Wenger years and Emery’s year. There are not going to be any supporters allowed into the ground for 6 months minimum, possibly the entire season. I’ll make this bit simple THIS WILL AFFECT ARSENAL MORE THAN ANY OTHER CLUB IN THE WORLD. There is no other club as reliant on match day revenue as Arsenal, match day revenue accounts for over 25% of total revenue. With Arsenal’s huge cash reserves diminished, possibly completely then we have to unload the dross if we are going to sign the likes of Partey & Aouar. If we don’t sort this out in this window we are in big trouble because we will be in a worse position for the next 3 windows. Let that sink in, it’s only going to get worse.

    I get all this and I think every body knows This but I still don’t get your point. When you say We must sort it out what do you suggest? We know we need to sell but can’t and we are trying I don’t think there is anything else ?
