Winning the Europa League should be our main aim this season, tbh.

A trophy and Champions League football, all in one!

@MutableEarth

I'll believe it when I see it!

In all honesty with some self-respect, Arsenal should be easily be able to top their group with the academy boys.

Martinelli-Nketiah-Hutchinson
Patino-Lokonga-ESR
Tavares-New CB-Saliba-Norton Cuffy
That American GK.

Of course Elneny will steal minutes off one of the youngsters but I can still dream. As long as I don’t see guys like Saka, Partey, Tomiyasu, Tierney (if he stays) and the new first team signings not play, I’ll be alright.

Totally agree. It would be nice to win a European trophy, even if it's not the one we would like. I can't see us winning the league anytime soon and we need to make a step up from being an FA Cup team. Heck, I'd even take a League Cup win for a break from the monotony. Wait, is this how the Spuds feel?

Don't know whats more stupid, the thread or the article?

Getting used to winning the FA Cup?

Yeah, that ain't them.

Do you agree with the approach of playing youngsters or would you rather see Elneny/Holding/Cedric etc.

I was thinking more of the monotony aspect

The article is basing this on absolutely nothing. Has Mark spoken to Mikel and already know what the squad will be?

Yes.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Of course it's important, that said we should be able to play some youngsters and still get through to the next stage. Wenger used to play Nelson at RWB and Elneny at CB ffs

Arteta has no choice but to incorporate youngsters. We will not buying enough players to complete a squad.

Turner
Cedric Saliba Holding Tavares
Lokonga Elneny
Pepe ESR Martinelli
Nketiah

Could be a youngster-less team out there potentially

Anyway, play the kids until the serious games. I mean we’re probably playing pub teams for the bulk of the tournament.

I said squad not team. `We'll need a 24 player squad to play in all comps next year. And Saliba ain't coming back.

Great Europa team here, tbh.

Though bring Mari back and start him, Saliba on the bench.

If he signs the amount of players he’s expected to, he could put out a team like that and ignore the Hale End boys.

Voted no because everyone will say "Arteta must do xyz", then we fail to do xyz and then we will just sit here.
