I doubt it very much. But its very believable to fans because its no secret that Emery gave too much power to the dressing room. All that 5 captain crap that allowed 5 people and their entourage to leak negative stories. It kind of shows why we have been underperforming.

They wont get any big club. At best Auba and Laca will be backups.

Auba would walk straight into Reals team. They still start Benzema
Atletico have long wanted Laca, and they have to play Morata.

Auba will stay. He is not going to get the type of money that is on offer as captain. The rest on your list can go to hell for all I care.

Benzema works his ass off which fits in well in the Real system. They dont want someone who has 5 touches in a game.

The club hasn't renewed a single senior player contract in almost 2 years.

Whatever this is, it's been brewing for a while.

This. Also, if any Auba passes go astray those madristas will be on him like a tonne of bricks.

Xhaka was extended much to my chagrin. Laca and Auba have 18 months+ and are in negotiation. Torreira and Luiz are on new contracts. The rest on the list we really need to get rid off and are sitting on 2 year+ contracts on huge wages.

Auba is not suited for the pressing game. He is a lazy caant

If Arteta is as ruthless as some rumors say, then I hope he just completely facks 3/4 of that list off!

Only players I would genuinely be gutted to see leave are Leno and Martinelli. Obviously there are others I don't want to go, Torreira would be a shame but those two would disappoint me most.

This season has already shown us the amount of harm that can come from wholesale squad upheaval. Why would anyone want to subject the squad to yet another round of chopping and changing?

The majority of our players are not fit to wear the shirt.
The board have destroyed any ambition the club may have

Leno, Bellerin, Tierney, Guendouzi, Martinelli, and Pepe are the ones I'd be disappointed to see go.

ANYONE who publicly states that he wants to go should be cut from the payroll and given an immediate free transfer. As this proceeds, the new manager should start filling in the gaps and begin the re-building process.
Arsenal's priority for this season must be to not get relegated!

I doubt that many would actually push hard to go. But other than 3/4 regulars, the rest are pretty average and could be improved on with some good buys

Only really likes of Auba, laca and Leno would be tough to replace with same quality. A striker who scores as much as Auba will always cost a bomb, then Leno and lacazette would be looking at 30/40m plus.

Probably only player likely to leave who’s valuable would be Bellerin. Can’t see likes of Pepe, Tierney Guendouzi, and other younger players wanting out yet. Can see Torreira going, while he’s good, you could get a player more suited to us in his position

Basically players who would be good to keep: Leno, Auba, lacazette, Pepe, Tierney, Guendouzi, Martinelli, saka, Bellerin

Players who could go and no one would really care: mustafi, xhaka, ozil, sokratis, luiz, chambers, kolasinac. Ceballos, mavropanos

The rest kind of fall between the 2

If we get serious money for Auba we have to sell him.

Harsh on Torreira, but the rest are senior players who should have stepped up for us when needed, but instead offered lackluster performances and no leadership. Wouldn't be too bothered if all left.

Genuinely would not shed a tear if any of the rumoured ‘want aways’ were to leave - Guendouzi included.

Tbh I’d rather play eager youngsters who will, hopefully, learn from the costly mistakes they’re bound to make, than the spunkless, gutless old scroats who’ll make the same mistakes, ones they’ve probably spent their entire careers making, either blaming everyone else for or ‘promising they’ll learn from’.

Onward.

I totally agree with that list. I wd add Saka to that. But the rest are either useless dummies or have a bad attitude. We have a core around which to rebuild the team, but the Kroenkes must also seriously invest in the squad.

Our Teta will need to be some kinda snake charmer

Auba will 100% leave and its best for all parties that he does.

I hope not because he is the only who has kept in games for 2 years.

Not bothered in the slightest! Could not care less if we lose half of these driftwood players - in fact more than half. Recruitment has been shocking and so has coaching. But when the going has been tough this group has been rudderless and apathetic.

This is a rebuild job, we are told, so eventually we actually have to start rebuilding! Not just keeping the trouble makers and adding dross. We have tried two managers while keeping these dry babies and nothing has worked! So let’s start fresh, take the knock and finish mid table if need be, but start rebuilding along the lines if Liverpool.
