You just get the feeling there’s a managerial genius in Arteta.

If he can get this **** defence and midfield to stop leaking goals, he'll need to be a genius.

I think @BigPoppaPump & @OnlyOne friendship is being understated here and everyone should answer no, because they are Super Best Friends at least!

Emery backs him in a pretty deep interview.

"He really is prepared to make that next jump," said Emery.

"He has been at Arsenal before, he's been in the Premier League and he has been working with Pep Guardiola. I do believe this is a good decision and I would also like it to be a good decision."

Man you read that and just wonder why he insisted on speaking English every time. He could have explained everything so much better if he’d just used a translator now and then.

Doesn't matter how competitive he is with an owner this unambitious making top 4 on a semi-regular basis is the best we can hope for.

Classy guy

Might have been out of his depth, but always held himself the right way.Hope he finds success elsewhere.

Who's going to be his assistant? Is it Xabi Alonso?

You just get the feeling there’s a managerial genius in Arteta. When we were first linked with him I had a few doubts. Then I took a few things into consideration:

-He’s a well spoken, intelligent student of the game. Evidenced by his seamless transition from CAM/RW to DLP.

-He has proven leadership qualities. He was a well respected captain here, often captained Everton and was the skipper who lifted the FA Cup which ended our excruciating trophy drought.

-Pep didn’t hesitate to name him as his no.2. The minute Arteta hung up his boots Pep moved swiftly to get him on board. Regardless of what you think of Pep he knows a thing or two about coaching- he clearly rates Arteta for good reason. Just look at how unhappy Pep is with Arteta’s departure, he’s a key component.

-Mikel is ex Barca and Arsenal. He’s Spanish and played the majority of his career in the PL. There’s no doubt in my mind one of the stipulations of his appointment is to play an attractive brand of football and Arteta himself will want to play football in the right way.

Of course, he’ll need time. But I’ve got faith he can be a massive success here. Our season starts now.

This is all conjecture.

Can't say I'm happy about this, don't think it'll end well. I hope Arteta can surprise me though. It all depends on our transfers and if we can get the right guys in.

Did Arteta sleep with your missus? Why the negativity?

Who's going to be his assistant? Is it Xabi Alonso?

I'd ask Xabi to lace up his boots again and play instead of Xhaka.

 

[Malky]

I’m actually really excited about this, he’ll obviously need time but I’ve got a feeling we’re at the beginning of something special!
You can tell by the way he talks, how the see’s the game and where he’s been, that, with time, we could see the return of beautiful, winning football!
It’s a very bold, and brave move from the board but sometimes those decisions can prove to be the best and most rewarding!
One of my favourite former players is manager of this great club

 

[CJJ]

I think this is a cheap and bold move by the board. Personally i'm intriqued by Arteta and i'm prepared to be patient with him.

There is hardly any good time for an unexperienced but promising manager to come in. Now i just hope he can translate his talent into being the number 1.

Languages and related perceptions are funny. A person who is perceived as very eloquent, even borderline pompous in his native language can be perceived as someone who can't really express himself or communicate ideas in another one.

 

[KrissKringle]

I'd ask Xabi to lace up his boots again and play instead of Xhaka.

I'd agree wholeheartedly with that and even unfit he'd do a better job than that knucklehead.

This is all conjecture.

Booorriinggggg!!

 

[Riou]

All I am looking for now, is for him to sell everybody, need to get as much money in as possible for a rebuild...also, he looks soooooo much better in red than blue!

Can’t believe I missed that amazing tv show talk at the end of the other thread, feel I could have really annoyed @GDeep™ and @BigPoppaPump in there

 

[say yes]

 

[Bloodbather]

That's actually rather impressive, because the Arsenal teams Arteta played on were nowhere near as successful as the ones Lauren, Cole, Overmars and Campbell played on.
