Arsenal are a good shout for top 4 if they sign Auba, Coutinho and Partey.

Quality young manager and quality additions.

Jealous

Who do you see them replacing in the top 4?

If United and Chelsea’s signings are hits they are still a long way off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a good starting point for a revival, but i think it will be tough to get top 4 this upcoming season.
I expect Chelsea and United to improve their points total, but neither are beyond a bad season.

I think Arteta will improve you but serious investment is needed to compete at the top.

I don't think United or Chelsea will be that great next season. They have better squads but the manager's aren't good enough for their level.

Arteta looks like a top manager in the making. Even Mourinho might have a renaissance.

Only City and liverpool are booked in for top 4 next season in my view.

Get Coutinho please

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hasn’t been good for a long time.

Good news for arsenal, get Coutinho added to attacking mix and goals won’t be a problem.

Even if we sold Ozil we would reinvest the money into the squad. We are a football team, afterall.

Sounds very much like some of the redundancies are in the scouting network - something that was meant to happen a couple of years ago but was delayed when Mislintat left.

I'm sure others will be in hospitality. Obviously no fans = no hospitality. The club did mention, I believe, it expects less companies to be investing in that side of the club in the forthcoming months/years. Do people really expect us to employ people to do nothing?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I admit I have no idea what scouts earn but I doubt alot of the hospitality staff are on any big money. So when it comes to those people, Yes DJ, we should keep them and pay them to do nothing until fans can come back and they can return to work. People who meet and greet, do stadium tours and serve food and drink. Do not get paid enough per hour to make any significant impact on the total wage/expenses bill we have. I am coming at this from the purely humanitarian aspect of it.

It's not even about the fact they'd get paid to do nothing. It's about the fact that keeping them until fans are allowed back, won't cost Arsenal that much. However for some of them, losing their job now, could cost them everything. Just not the time to take away somebody's livelihood, if/when you easily afford not to.

Aside from all of that, with the Ozil debacle playing out in full and stories breaking about signing Auba. This is such a bad optic for AFC.

A lot of football clubs actually employ third party companies or an agency to manage their hospitality.

For example I used to work for a company called Michael Wisher who was an agency supplying staff for Brighton. They were one of several agencies.. So Michael Wisher employed people like me to serve food and drink at every Brighton Home match.

I would imagine Arsenal do something similar rather than full time staff.

Hopefully we have this next season:

Martinez
Bellerin Luiz Gabriel Tierney
Coutinho Partey Xhaka
Pepe Aubameyang Willian

Leno
AMN Mari Saliba Saka
Torreira Ceballos Willock
Nelson Lacazette Martinelli

With Saliba coming in more and more forming a partnership with Gabriel eventually

At the low level, yeah. They wouldn't be permanent staff. I was referring to higher up. Those in charge of dealing with running the match day staff, dealing with companies etc.
