I think the January window is very interesting for us because of the above points. If by the end of December we are still sitting in 1st/2nd then IMO the club must push to bring in 3 players to cover those above.
At least the World Cup will give some of the players a much needed rest.
I think the cover for Saka would’ve been done in the summer window if not for the late injuries to Partey/Elneny which then shifted the focus for the club. Hopefully that’s a priority in January.
If Arsenal are still within striking distance of silverware, I think surely KSE would support Arteta/Edu again like they’ve demonstrated in recent windows. They’ve got a taste for winning.
The World Cup plans seem to be coming together, that Dubai trip earlier this year seemed to do wonders for the squad.
