When you have an unhealthy reliance on transfer news to keep you going, it’s quite hard to accept a Sporting Director who purposefully chums the water with some of the finest tuna you could imagine… the confusion is the goal and confused I am.

We’re going through the phase of the summer where profiles are being drawn up, so we can at least see the shape of the squad Arteta is trying to build heading into next season.

The left, it would appear, is under a quite severe rebuild.

My watch out with the BURN IT ALL mentality is I have to be the annoying person in a meeting who says, ‘can we go back 3 slides.’

  1. Arsenal won the Premier League.

  2. We were unbeaten in the Champions League in open play.

There’s not a lot that needs changing and sometimes when you change things for the sake of it, there can be unexpected consequences to the feel of the squad setup.

So, let’s be the person who says, ‘no, we can’t look back Tanya, you should have said your piece when you had the chance.’

Trossard and Martinelli managed 7 Premier League goals between them and 7 Champions League goals.
