As it stands for the second half of the season...
Goalkeepers
Bernd Leno
Petr Cech
Deyan Iliev*
Defenders
Stephan Lichtsteiner
Carl Jenkinson*
Laurent Koscielny
Shkodran Mustafi
Sokratis
Nacho Monreal
Sead Kolasinac
Cohen Bramall
Midfielders
Lucas Torreira
Granit Xhaka
Mohamed Elneny
Aaron Ramsey*
Mesut Ozil
Henrik Mkhitaryan
Alex Iwobi*
Strikers
Pierre Emerik Aubameyang
Alexandre Lacazette
20 players, 16 non-HG, 4 HG* (Max 25, 17, 25)
Under 21s
Ainsley Maitland Niles**
Jordi Osei Tutu
Konstantinos Mavropanos**
Zechariah Medley
Matteo Guendouzi**
Charlie Gilmour
Bukayo Saka
Emile Smith-Rowe
Joe Willock
Eddie Nketiah
(We can use unlimited numbers of U21s, these are the ones most likely to be used)
** 1st team squad players.
With 16 non-HG places taken up, we can only add one more. However Bramall can be dropped to make way for a second.
As it stands, that group of under 21s will have to step up at times. If we can't get in the 2 loans then we are in a fair bit of trouble.
With just a week to go we are quickly running out of time. The Denis Suarez deal has hit a roadblock, although I feel that will go through after some games from each side.
No idea who the second player will be, with rumours going from the unlikely list of James Rodriguez, Cahill, Bailly and Benatia so far.
Our Squad...

Looking at that list... whoa, we badly need a defensive signing!

And a striker, midfielder, wingers, a keeper

Agreed. But of the 8 defenders you've listed, 3 really should not be there, and that's without even mentioning Mustafi.
That is a ridiculously small group of players to go through half a season with, especially given the recent injury records of Monreal and Koscielny.

I'm such a kid. I know we need defenders but all I really want is Denis Suarez and James Rodriguez.

DJ?
What about Pleguezuelo? I thought he could play RB? Is it worth to try him there? Can't be worse than Licht.

Been injured a fair bit, and isn't very attacking. Wouldn't really work, imo. When you have Licht, AMN, Jenkinson, Osei-Tutu then there is definitely no need for Pleggy at RB.

God, he must be awful if he can't get ahead of Jenkinson and Litch

Well he is a CB not a RB

Reading this article it makes you realise how shiiiiit we are
How in gods name did we let our squad get so bad. In December 2015 we were odds on favorites to win the league. Somehow Wenger and Gazidis took us from title favorites to this in 3 years. And sadly the current regime is not filling me with confidence to get us back to being anything serious anytime soon

Yeah we are so shiiiit on paper. Able to beat anyone in the League.
