da cassino online： It’s that time of the year again when Arsenal fans bemoan their club’s performance in the transfer market, but console themselves with the thought that their club actually does have one of the best squads in the league.
da 888casino： This time Arsene Wenger did spend some money in the end, and Arsenal will be looking forward to this season given that Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez do at least represent three signings in the areas that Arsenal so desperately needed players. Even if it did take until deadline day for Wenger to buy two players who now look to be panis buys.
Given that we’re savvier than Wenger, we’ve teamed up with 7 Of The Best to bring you a footballing treat for the season. It’s free to play and the best team each week wins £1,500, as well as monthly prize of £4,000 for the best individual. Want to win bigger? Nab yourself a whopping £500k if you get all seven of your selections correct for seven consecutive weeks.
With that in mind, here are seven players Arsenal could have sold this summer, perhaps making some money for bigger names to join the club instead…

Kieran Gibbs
With the emergence of Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin at Arsenal over the past season or so, full backs are finding it difficult to get their chance at the Gunners these days.
Gibbs, who will be 27 this month, lost his place to Monreal and doesn’t look like he’ll regain it any time soon. And perhaps it’s time he looked to pastures new to kickstart a career that hasn’t taken off like many thought it would.

Olivier Giroud
Arsenal aren’t really in a position to sell off strikers at the moment given the obvious problems they have in that department, but selling Giroud this summer may have forced Wenger into action.
Like a character in a western throwing his belongings onto a moving train, he would have had no choice but to jump on. A new striker was the priority, but Giroud still looks to be the best one at the club.

Mathieu Debuchy
Like Kieran Gibbs, Mathieu Debuchy has paid for the emergence and good form of one of Arsenal’s Spanish full backs. This time, it’s Hector Bellerin who is keeping Debuchy out of the team.
The Frenchman spent the back end of last season on loan at Bordeaux to try and force his way in the France squad for Euro 2016, but to no avail.
This season, he’s trying to force his way back into the Arsenal starting XI, but with Bellerin still looking like Wenger’s first choice, it seems like he’ll suffer the same outcome.

Yaya Sanogo
How is Yaya Sanogo still at Arsenal?
The Frenchman is still only 23, but spent last season out on loan at relegated Charlton Athletic, so that shows the level he’s currently at.
Sanogo started his career at Les Ulis just outside Paris, famous for producing Thierry Henry, Patrice Evra and Anthony Martial over the years, but Yaya Sanogo has a long way to go before being thought of alongside those guys in any other list.

Theo Walcott
Being left out of England’s Euro 2016 squad might have been a wake up call for Walcott who has started the season fairly well and forced his way back into the national team once again.
But at this point, Arsenal need more than players like Walcott who are perpetually on the cusp of being good players but never quite breaking through.
What Arsenal don’t need is the ‘next Thierry Henry’, they just need a player of Henry’s quality. And to do that, you need to spend money these days…
[ad_pod id=’7OTB’ align=’center’]
Wojciech Szczesny
He’s no longer at the club, so in one sense Arsene Wenger did ship Szczesny out of the club this summer, but after seeing their goalkeeper loaned out to Roma for two seasons in a row, Arsenal fans will be wondering if the Italian giants might fancy spending a couple of pounds to actually take the goalkeeper off Arsenal’s hands permanently.
Especially when their club seem reluctant to spend big on the kind of players they need to challenge at the top of the table.

Carl Jenkinson
You do get the feeling that Jenkinson would no longer be an Arsenal player if a cruciate ligament injury hadn’t put an early end to his time at West Ham last season.
Another Arsenal full back’s career crippled by the emergence of Monreal and Bellerin, Jenkinson will probably get fit enough for a move either in January or next summer.
