5. Squad Depth
This summer is a big one and Arsène has acknowledged that at least three new signings will be needed in order to bolster our squad and fight for the league next season. Our team was a little bare this season, with many players featuring in almost every game without a proper rest, most notably Olivier Giroud. Theo Walcott also suffered a season ending injury in our two-nil FA Cup win over Tottenham, which seriously hindered the pace of our squad. With some new additions over the summer and Theo Walcott back to full fitness, we will be in a much better position to pick up a few more points.
There are a lot of reasons to look forward to next season and I have noted the five that I think will be most important to sustaining a title challenge. We are not far off being truly competitive again and a good summer will stand us in good stead for next season.
