I say no to Arteta. The squad needs a good kick above everything else. I still have a clear recollection of the season when Arteta was the captain and the bookies stopped taking any bets on Arsenal conceding 6 goals against big 4 teams. If I was the captain I would have been barking orders ordering the full backs and my central midfield partner back. In fact I would do that even if I wasn’t the captain. Arteta did not do any of that. No to him as a manager. Thierry Henry Maybe. Or even Viera but I don’t think they are nasty enough.Not sure if it was on here but someone made the point before about Arteta being to close to some of the current players. Is he going to give the squad the kick they need? Would they respond to him?
