We need at least five first team players to change our trajectory next season. If we could get Maximus from New Castle or Neto of Wolverhampton to replace Pepe, (an awful buy) and also get at least a top level CF finisher for Lacca, that will sort the attack.
In midfield, we go for Bisouma to compliment Partey and add another creative midfielder like Aouar or in the mould of Cazorla, we will be good there too.
We need a new GK, Leno is done for me and a LB and RB.
If you ask me how we can afford all this investment with KSE in charge, I think Arteta now has to pressure the board if they ever want to see their investment finally come good.
KSE knows he has lost fans and media so the heat is on them to finally get serious or watch us become mediocrity we are now.
He can sell AMN, Willock, Pepe, Mavropanos, Mustafi, Lacca and Leno.
It’s the crap players not Arteta costing us

You want to tell me Willock isn’t better than that Spanish favourite of Arteta

Absolutely fals, Leno is bags of nerve, lacks composure and isn’t suited to play modern game like Ederson. He can’t even pass accurately and Matt Ryan is actually more composed than him. He is only a shot stopper and is capable of haulers every other game.
------------------------
I don't actually get how you can't watch Leno be an outstanding keeper for his whole time under Wenger and Emery, then see Arteta come in and force a system that even you know plays to Leno's weakness, time and again all season despite it clearly being a resounding failure. Then turn around and conclude that the problem is the keeper as opposed to the manager who has gotten it blatantly wrong for 33 games on the spin.
How do you not understand that the fault here ALL lies with Arteta for failing to recognise his own gargantuan error and STOP FORCING LENO TO PLAY OUT FROM THE BACK! It's a pretty simple solution to a fully self inflicted problem. One almost all people with sense would have used after around 5 games max.
Equivalent to what you're saying:
New manager turns up at Barca and forces Messi to play as an Andy Carroll target man in a hoofball setup. Come season's end when he has been terrible at it, because he just gets out-jumped every time and the manager has the ball in the air for every attack...you conclude " Ah Messi is sh !t because he didn't light it up like normal."
Literally what you're doing to Leno here. The problem is the manager and his tactical system, not the player who is being forced to play in a bad system that doesn't work for the vast majority of the team, not just him.

So you’re saying you need to buy 6 players and each one of them to be a success.

Liverpool did exactly that, when Klopp arrived you were crap and it took changing the whole team to elevate your side to winning things.

We got lucky that the players worked out how they did. Not often that happens.

Its obvious that Leno is not comfortable playing out from the back and this is effecting his confidence. Arteta didn't seem to take into account how he wants his keeper to play when he decided to let Martinez go as he was far better at playing out. All keepers make mistakes and Leno is not alone in that , Seaman got lobbed from distance a couple of times and even Bob Wilson got beat badly at his near post in the 71 FA cup final against Liverpool, mistakes are part of the game, the issue is how you get over them.
Leno has not suddenly become a bad keeper, I don't think he's up their with the likes of Seaman and Jennings etc but he isn't that bad either , he needs a couple of good games to get his confidence back , but thats not easy at the moment when the whole defence looks jittery.
Earlier in the season we looked solid and we were playing out from the back then to so it can be done , Arteta needs to sort it out and help the players cut out these unnecessary errors.
