Nothing Wrong With Me
Okay, I need help with this one. Willian. Willian. Previously, I spoke about how the Willian transfer could negatively affect Nelson and Pepe. Despite, Nelson playing well on midweek he loses his place to the “experienced” Willian. Firstly, experience is the MOST OVERRATED attribute to have in football. All experience means is that the manager has trust in someone that they don’t have teach anything new to. It doesn’t even make sense because Willian has never played in a system like this before, so ironically he actually has little experience. You might as well use Nelson or Pepe who have a higher upside. When you apply for a job and it requires a minimum of X amount of years of experience; they’re simply weeding out candidates that they don’t have to teach. It’s kinda lazy imo.
Anyways that’s not main concern. It’s bothered me for a long time but I didn’t know how to articulate this. Arteta seems very big on trying to change the culture of Arsenal. Fine, nothing wrong with that. So why are we relying on ex-Chelsea players to help us “change the culture”? The culture at Chelsea is very different to us. For one managers come and go there so why would Arteta show faith in players that will most likely see him get sacked. It’s an open secret that if David Luiz don’t like you he can very easily turn the squad against you. Is that the type of culture we want at our club? Do Chelsea even like or respect Arsenal? I mean sure we both hate Sp**s but that’s it. To me, Arteta picking Willian over “one of us” highlights why I don’t think he understands the culture he’s trying to change. Now maybe Nelson isn’t a world beater but a kid that’s been at Arsenal his whole knows what the NLD is way more than Willian ever would
For a free I thought it was good business. In my defence I thought he would be played in the middle and not every bl00dy game. I didnt think he would affect players like Nelson or Pepe. Also in my defence, I thought Arteta would make sensible decisions!
