We all know Arsenal didn’t have millions of pounds sitting about to be spent in this transfer window, so there was always going to be a degree of waiting for players to leave before major arrivals could come in.
The 6-0 win over a heavily-rotated West Brom side tonight has given plenty of cause for optimism, so perhaps it will be a case of adding some further quality rather than focusing on quality.
Mikel Arteta didn’t go as far as to say that new signings should be expected, but this is a positive update and the point about exits being planned should hint at more players coming in:
#AFC | Arteta was asked if that's the end of spending for Arsenal this Summer:

Of course that also depends on which players leave as if it’s someone like Lacazette or Bellerin then like-for-like replacements will be needed, but at least it sounds like Arsenal fans have some action to look forward to in the remainder of the window.
Relax. This is only WBA playing a youthful side.
The gunners did not encounter a 100% physical game.Had it been a Brentford clone,it could have been different.
Anyway we must give credit to the boys. Now sterner tests lie ahead. If the defence plays it tight ,the Mc forwards wont have it easy .
Thats how the Blues shut them out to win the cl.
Arteta must leave asap! Enough ridicule made of Arsenal in 18month time.
Gets excited to beat some kids with most of our first team players on training pitch.
WB rested their first team players, focused on Championship they are leading…
Unless Arteta already know Man City will smash us, he should have played a youngster team, rest out too nous for City
Risking Saka to injury instead to test the kid, rotate, give Time to youngsters!
Artet’out.!
