Well what else is he supposed to say? That they are terrible? He’s new and not someone who has been established like a Rafa for example. However, if the signings don’t improve then I will criticize him.He's happy with them though. So...

Put some respect on Mislintat's name... We should have just trusted the guy. He was the perfect recruiter for a cheap club like ours.
Here is a compiled list of transfers during Mislintat's days as a Scout (BvB), Chief Scout (BvB), Director of Professional Football & Chief Scout (BvB), and Head of Recruitment (AFC):
At Arsenal only Lichtsteiner was a big fail. Sokratis and Mkhitaryan were disappointing but far from being useless.
Arsenal is definitely the most questionable column (to be fair, the BVB ones are pretty damn strong).Put some respect on Mislintat's name... We should have just trusted the guy. He was the perfect recruiter for a cheap club like ours.

Or sell him at say 30m and bring in someone with a chance for improvement like Max Aarons. Bells looks like he reached his ceiling 5 years ago and is only on a decline.Bellerin had been carrying a injury b4 restart. He was asked to play on as we did not have a backup.
Added to that AMN refused to play there compounded our problems. What AMN did was unpardonable, hence I feel he will see very few minutes here at Arsenal before being shipped out. Finally Sokratis played as RB.
Bellerin is not a world beater but is definitely top4 quality he has shown it in the past. His form was bad because of an injury. Cedric is just a backup or for cup games, and if at all he stakes a claim to first team spot isn't that healthy competition?
If we want a RB better than Bellerin then we need to spend 30 million minimum, you really think that RB is priority over next 2 years?
You’ll have to give a manager a pre season and a chance to improve the team in the summer before really judging him.A quick question to the Arteta fan boys , if we lose all our remaining games will you still want him in charge next season ?

It's not in Kroenke's interest to let this mess continue. He'll have to step in at some point. Recruitment and transfer dealings have been a joke since Raul arrived. And it's getting worse.The lack of ideas and a system within the club is down to him. He can see the table and the results even if he can't see the difference between a good and bad performance. The lack of goals is obvious. He can see post Wenget that we've doent more than ever and things are getting worse. Any owner who cared would ask questions of his hired help. He hired Raul. If he's not performing, then he should find someone who can. If Raul blames the players, well who hired them and another failing manager? A good owner or a custodian like we used to have would ask a question or two-and it wouldn't have been asking the players to take a pay cut. This owner would rather knock Emirates down, build a Westfield and collect the rents. He's provided no vision and it shows.

I really only give him credit at Arsenal (for underpayment / ‘mining gems‘) for the Leno signing. Auba was market price for a late-20s, WC or close to it, proven striker in a top league. He merely held serve on that one. Agree he was subpar on the whole.I don't really care about what he did for Dortmund, he was as useless the rest of them for Arsenal.
The list of players he signed for Arsenal really isn't anything to shout about. Auba/Leno have been successful, Guendouzi was a good deal financially but the duty is out on him. The rest have been failures.
Sokratis and Mkhi have been both been disasters, both have cost the club a huge amount and have been shocking on the pitch. There's no margin for error at a club like Arsenal, if we sign a player and they don't work out, it sets us back years.

That early Dortmund list is ridiculous though. Too bad it didn’t happen here.
One simple tweak is dropping Ceballos IMO. I'd even bring back Guendouzi even though I hate him and Xhaka together as a pairing. Bellerin is the less simple tweak. The right side of the pitch really suffered a lot today because Bellerin and Ceballos were terrible and Pepe was completely invisible as a result. Ideally, you'd drop all 3 and bring in Cedric (time for him to show he deserved that contract), Nelson and one of AMN/Willock in the middle.Got the tactics right today as far defending goes.
Holding is better in a 3 and he took advantage of that. Good to see Saka involved from midfield, but it's a shame that Auba has to keep tracking back from left wing.
Needs must, I guess, but I really hope Arteta can find more creativity out of this lot (big ask, I know). Auba showed a lot of times this match how great his movement is.
