As we are all aware the current Arsenal squad contains a ridiculous amount of deadwood, this is hindering our squad's potential as is akin to Usain Bolt having to run a 100m race while giving a member of the Romanian wrestling squad a piggyback.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that we need to get rid of all these players and replace them with some that are actually useful.
Therefore I am starting
THE GREAT ARSENAL CAR BOOT SALE
This is where we can discuss who we need to sell and who can replace these players.
Currently we have two categories of players who are needed to be sold
1) Those currently wasting valuble places in our 25 man squad
Chamakh
Park
Diaby
Almunia
Squillaci
(Also Benayoun but he's leaving anyway)
2) Those who are so bad they are currently on loan as we can't get rid of them
Denilson
Bendtner
Vela
Arshavin
Mannone
So there we have it. Any more players needing to be sold would be helpful. Also considering how many are being sold suggestions for replacements are needed
Possible Replacements
Podolski for Chamakh
Afobe of Park
Miquel for Squillaci
Miyaichi for Arshavin
Martinez for Almunia

How many players will Arsenal need to sign/ promote to replace all these outgoing players?

I don't think that many tbh, 2 or 3. Our squad is really big just so many average and crap players and most of them aren't playing at all so won't make a difference if we get rid.

Diaby should stick around. Vela, Denilson, Squillaci, Benayoun and Almunia will not be at the club next summer, pretty much guarenteed.

----------------------
Don't be so sure. I remember saying that Almunia was on his way out at the start of last summer and yet, there he is.
Maybe he's a really good cook and the team aren't willing to sell him on at the risk of losing their source of world class paella.

Almunia's contract expires

Thank christ!
Now let's just hope Wenger doesn't accidentally give him a new one again.

Almunia's expires, not sure about Squillaci's, some reports say it's up this summer, others say he has one more year. Benayoun will not extend his loan. Denilson is going back to Sao Paulo on loan for around half his wages and a small fee for the last year of his contract. Vela will sign for Real, where he is on loan, for a pretty low fee.

Are we keeping Djourou then??
Also, I rate Vela, I think he should be given a good chance in the team.

JoDjo signed a new contract so he's staying.
I doubt Vela will stay. He's looking for first team football and he won't be getting it at Arsenal. He always looked quite talented but I won't miss him.
