Feels like winning the Quadruple as a PL team is impossible with the number of games today.
The big double (PL + CL) is the dream for me. And tbh it looks like the squad will be strong enough for that after the summer.

Always felt impossible, if I’m being honest. As Arne said, there really are no easy games in the Premier League. 2021-22 was the absolute dream, but even back then I was completely awed at how we (at times during the season) were about to achieve the impossible. It’ll always go down as such an immense shame for me, but to even get so close, that was incredible. No English team has ever come anywhere as close to that.

I’ll wait for September 1st to judge that.
The signs are good, but I’m also waiting for pre-season friendlies, etc. That will give us much more answers than now trying to imagine our first XI after a few signings.
It’s not just about adding players, but making it work altogether with sense.
Top 2. Top 4 won’t be a disaster though, but disappointing. I don’t see us as below Top 4, but of course a bad season can happen.
But I think next season will be harder than this one.

Top six and an outside chance at the League Cup. But that’s enough about Arsenal!
My expectation is we will put in a strong challenge for the Premier League title and also the Champions League. I expect the Prem to be more closely contested next time, as we just won it at a canter with margin to spare. I also expect us to go deeper in the CL, but to maybe take our foot off the accelerator just a bit in the league stage, having learned that you don’t really get the favorable draw you should get for finishing first at that point.
I cannot say that I expect to win both big prizes, as that feels a bit entitled. I hope we do, and that’s the dream, but there are other good teams who have their own ambitions, and they will strengthen too. That said, I fear no-one and we should be in the mix for the biggest prizes.
- Get all of our incoming transfer completed prior to preseason starting to give as many players as possible the time to work with Slot and the rest of the squad to build cohession and understanding.
- Win the League
- Win the Champions League

My expectations are to continue fighting for trophies - top 3 finish in PL and quarter-finals of CL should be the minimum for the next season. Rival clubs will be much stronger and Man City have already spent a small fortune in January and will follow it up with another transfer splurge.

Build on last season’s progress. Hopefully, retain the title and add another trophy.
