Former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas says Arsene Wenger needs to sort out his star forwards.
The Scot snapped: "Arsene is no fool, he knows where the problem lies and he's already identified what he needs.
"Defensively, we're not good enough. We need a keeper, at least one central defender and after that you're looking for a top-class midfielder - and another striker.
"I think Adebayor will be sold if the right money comes in. They were very close to doing a deal with AC Milan last summer and I know Chelsea were also sniffing around."
After netting 30 goals in 2007-08, Adebayor managed just 16 last season - an awful return, according to Nicholas, given Arsenal's attacking style of play.
The former Celtic man said: "Arsenal create more chances than any other side. If you've not got a striker scoring 25 goals a season with the number of chances they create, then there's something wrong. He's not fitting in.
"The players who should be sold are Adebayor, Eboue, Djourou and they should let Gallas go too if he's not up for it.
"There are a lot of changes needed - probably the most ever.
"I am 100 percent behind the manager because there's nobody out there any better. But while I believe his team have potential and his philosophy is correct, Arsene needs to get more out of some players.
"The team have a mental weakness. Cesc Fabregas and the rest are fantastic players but in big-match situations they can't work out how to win. They just fold."
Nicholas added: "Van Persie's playing a daft game saying he wants to know what the future holds for him.
"Who the hell is he to ask Wenger or Arsenal that? To be fair he's different to Adebayor because he's more of a link player and he put in a good shift last season.
"But that doesn't mean he should start throwing this stuff at the manager's door - wanting to know who's going to be coming in before signing a contract.
"He's had plenty of chances, just like the rest of them, to do something about it - and, at the end of the day, it just hasn't been good enough."
