Harsh on Iwobi, Mikki, Nacho imo. And Elneny as a cheap option in DM isn't too bad.

Doesn't look too bad to me? Maybe a new attacking player for Mikki if you don't like him (I do). With all the sales above, the money generated by the club and Stan coughing up a bit (no, seriously) that should be achievable. We just need to get better at buying players for less money that will improve.
When was the last time we bought a player and saw significant improvement even if we did sell him on?
The lack of financial support from the board is very troubling indeed. I have highlighted this as an area of concern over the past couple of years & news of Newcastle's takeover is of real concern for Arsenal.
We need the Kronke's to inject some cash or they risk their asset becoming de-valued.
Yes. This is the first time he has ever used 3 at the back and persisted with it. If I had to guess why I’d say it’s down to injuries and not having the players he wants. I don’t think he trusts AMN and Kolasinac to be solid enough in a back 4 and we don’t have a midfielder other than Ramsey to play a three man midfield. I think we’ll sign a midfielder, winger, left back and CB and got back to a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. Hopefully some of the youngster like Willock and Nelson get opportunities at well. I’d rather watch them than Ozil. Sick of it now.
