Arsenal is in need of the kind of summer clear out like the one Manchester United are planning, according to Ray Parlour.
The London club have however made positive progress in their 1st season without Arsene Wenger.
Unai Emery has been praised in his debut season for the upgrade that has been experienced since the legendary Wenger stepped aside.
Ray Parlour, however, is of the opinion that Emery has done really well, but agrees that work still needed to be done as regards tweaking the squad that needs another refresh in the next transfer window.
His words, “This was always going to be a big test for Emery this season.
“I said at the start of the season if they get fourth place it would be a brilliant season for Arsenal.
“He’s still finding out his squad and the transfer window is going to be very interesting to see what he does, whether he moves any players out and brings more in.
“As much as Manchester United need a big clear out, Arsenal probably do as well.”
“After seeing Manchester United and Spurs lose, it was a really good opportunity at home.
“Arsenal have had a great record at the Emirates this year – they have only lost to Manchester City in the top six, have drawn with Liverpool and have beat Man Utd, Spurs and Chelsea.
“So you would have fancied them, I didn’t see five goals in the game.
“The team selection was very strange. They’d just come off the Napoli win and you’re thinking, ‘let’s kick on now, there’s only four games left, play your strongest team’, but he didn’t.
“There were a few mistakes from the manager, but you can’t knock him because he’s done a wonderful job so far.”
