The spine needs to be gutted. This needed to happen while Wenger was there nevermind now. The same spine has cost 3 managers now. I'm mainly talking about Ozil, Xhaka and Mustafi. Big money flops on monster wages that aren't fit to start. Last summer I said Emery's main job has to be booting those out. He didn't and his season ended up a shambles because of it.

Ozil. Simply not good enough and his ridiculous wages must be toxifying the harmony of the club. £350'000 a week for a player who's only just about trusted to start against the cannon fodder while we're at home. Even then he only looks a 7/10 type of player. He's not even on the level of one of our non elite players like Nasri.

Xhaka. No engine and sloppy. The sloppiness can be somewhat improved but his complete lack of pace means he should never be starting for a top tier club. He's just a taller Denilson. Edu was a much better player and even he was never considered a first name on the team sheet. Wenger stubbornly stuck with him when it was clear he wasn't cut out for the league and cost him his job. Xhaka would probably be okay playing in the Italian league.

Mustafi. A big money Wenger panic buy. Won a world cup as a squad player but never really stood out anywhere. Constant error prone and not even a big commanding cb. **** knows where his hype ever came from.

These 3 sunk both Wenger and Emery. Will they sink Arteta? In fairness I think Emery tried his best to clear them out last summer but he just could not get rid of them. It's ridiculous when i see some of our clown fans say things like. "why don't we sell Ozil for £40m and rebuild the squad?" Ozil is worth 0 because of his wages.
