Rebuilding Arsenal #KroenkeOut
Most of the transfers are ambitious, but it does us no good to rely on mediocrity any longer.

Manager:
If Arteta were to get sacked, which I personally don't see happening, I'd like either Ralph Hassenhuttl or Christophe Galtier to take charge at Arsenal. Both have a similar philosophy in terms of their teams: a 4-4-2 with a double pivot and two wide wingers.

Both of them play an attractive brand of attacking football and have also proved themselves in their managerial capacities.
Sporting Director:
We all know Edu is not the person to be in charge of Arsenal FC. He was brought in to complement Raul Sanllehi in his own capacity as Technical Director and has not lived up to the high standards.

Luis Campos (currently at Lille) or Ralf Rangnick would be my preferred choices for the job of Director of Football. Campos currently works with Galtier and has also masterminded the rise of AS Monaco and currently the rise of Lille OSC.
Rangnick, on the other hand, previously worked with Hassenhuttl at Leipzig and played an instrumental role in the growth of the sister clubs of RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg.
Players:
Its clear that most of the players at Arsenal are not good enough for a rebuild. The transfer ideas have been made keeping in mind the philosophy of both the managers listed above.

Buys:
Goalkeeper options (Starter and Backup)
Starters:
Mike Maignan (Lille) - (15-20m)
Illan Meslier (Leeds) - (10-15m)
Donnarumma (AC Milan) - (free transfer)
Backup
Mat Ryan (Brighton) - (2.5-5m)
Maignan is the best option from amongst them.

Left Back (backup):
Nuno Mendes (Sporting CP) - (30-35m)
Rayan Ait-Nouri (Angers) - (15-20m)
Josh Doig (Hibs) - (5-10m)
All of them would register as homegrown in the future. But bear in mind that Wolves have the option to make the Ait-Nouri loan move permanent.

Midfielders:
Houssem Aouar (Lyon) - (40-50m)
Boubakary Soumare (Lille) - (15-25m)
Thiago Almada (Velez) - (10m)
If Leicester miss out on UCL footy, James Maddison would be a part of the discussion as well, for a price around 70-80m

Strikers:
Sergio Aguero (Man City) - (Free transfer)

From the above, transfer spend should be around 170-200m, which makes it a net spend of max to max 50m, which should be easily done by a club of Arsenal's standards.

Keep in mind that we need to maintain homegrown standards as well. The PL does not need u21 players to be registered so:
Non-HG player count: 15
Non-HG player count: 15
Lineup ideas:
Most important of all though, the Kroenkes need to sell this club. They've never shown an ounce of ambition at this club, never showed that they wanted this club to succeed. #KroenkeOut shouldn't stop until they sell. The whole club is a mess. The top of the hierarchy goes first.
