Time for some home truths

That might work. The strong feeling here, somewhat surprisingly, is that Arteta must be something of a genius manager to have won the Premier League with our players, our squad and our football.

But then, the people saying that didn't actually watch us play very often

I am a bit of a heretic when it comes to this point. I actually think our players are rather good.

But they do tend to fall into the category of either to good to lose or too **** to sell.

Our owners are not stupid, particularly when it comes to money. Our directors seem to be fairly clever chaps and our manager is... well... champion

I think we should be ok, just about

This 16 year old kid from Leicester is interesting.

We will spend more than we did last summer. NET spend maybe not as we will definitely make some big sales too.

Mosquera will go if we get an offer of 50m or more and can't sell White. Can put a buyback clause in.

When you pay peanuts for a really promising 20 year old defender and he arrives, gets thrust into big games well ahead of schedule and does really well.... you dont sell him.

Look at it this way- what were we expecting from him this season that he didn't produce?

I would be tempted to leave the back four as it is. He may chose to buy a replacement for Ben White even if White doesnt leave.... I know how stupid that sounds

That's actually where the whole club began to go wrong; when we stopped signing players from Leicester
