Three things that Arsenal must address after disastrous Europa League showing…

Arsenal Football Club always has aspirations of finishing in a top four spot in the Premier League table, which would grant them a berth in the Champions League. After falling on their collective faces over the final moth of league play, the Gunners still had a way into Europe’s most prestigious competition.

All they had to do was to win the Europa League final against Chelsea.

That did not happen.

After the 4-1 thrashing at the hands of their London-based rivals, Arsenal are left to pick up the pieces and quickly put together a plan for a better showing next season.

Now that the Champions League final has concluded, with Arsenal fans thankful that, in their eyes, the lesser of two evils won, it is time for the footballing world to turn their eyes to the summer transfer window.

It may not be too much of a stretch to say that this window is the most important window in recent memory for the Gunners and is, without a doubt, the biggest window in the short employment of the manager.

There are questions marks with the status of some of the team’s biggest names (and contracts.) Rumors are flying, almost by the minute, about different players being linked to club in some shape or fashion.

There is no question that big changes are afoot, but what can be done to fix a club that seems to be in such disarray?
