Wilson should be on this now to be honest. He should have the list of targets and he should be having negotations with agents now. Get a few on pre contract agreements, none of this 6 weeks into the window ****e.

There is going to be such a high turnover of players this summer:

Gordon, Tonali, Tino as well as the ones out of contract. We cant wait 1...2....3 weeks into the window. We need to hit the ground now and get things lined up!
World Cup man, sellers market. They ain’t shifting players on that could make a name in World Cup finals early doors to please Tom dick n Roly off not606

Have you made him aware of this, I'm sure he'd be grateful for the heads up.

Man United have blown the rest of top 5 chasers into oblivion by simply replacing a manager that refused to change things... Hmmm

Well top 6 is pretty much officially gone... I guess we have to try and take something from it if Liverpool don't get champions league football, so that grinning **** Isak takes a blow.
 
Summerville has reached the level now.. I remember is being linked. Unfortunately we didn't bother.
 
City get in... It's all on Isak not getting CL football for me now

He'll be sold to Barca anyway for half the price or less, they love picking up a bargain and it's Lewandowski's last season. So he'll be in the CL but you're also lucky because Newcastle won't be.

We're absolutely screwed and it's unlikely to improve in the summer.
 
I agree because I think Howe will be given time and I don’t understand how anyone thinks he could objectively review this squad properly.

The only hope would be if Wilson wasn't brought in to work in line with Howes ideals. Let Howe do what he's good at basically.

The overhaul never comes and we spent huge amounts in the last summer window, so I'm not expecting much activity anyway.

Wilson’s comments are interesting as previously it was 10 years to win the league they (Staverley) was saying, so saying the aim to win/challenge by 2030 is bringing the time line forwards. Must know something to come out and make that claim because everyone, the fans, the players, the back room staff can all se we aren’t close yet so there must be a plan in place to have an overhaul of the squad (and probably the finances) soon.
 
How anyone thinks Arsenal will win the league is beyond me. Arteta has assembled a very expensive squad, but its second best to the ludicrous, bend-the-rules bollocks Pep has. No wonder we can’t get anywhere near, you’re talking about miraculous levels of player elevation to get anywhere near the PL title. We and Villa will never get near it - Man U will have rebuilt their squad with infinite wage caps to complete the “big four”, and everyone can chill out again. Heaven forfend there should be any actual competition.
