[El Duderino]

Mikel Arteta: Arsenal boss says some of his players have not reached full potential this season and reached their potential

I think this was posted before, but

He needs to drop the PR offensive and shut up for a bit. Let the new season come, maybe we actually start well... But if the fans are in the stadium and he start losing home games left right and center again, this will all be coming back to haunt him.

only been out of Europe few days as well

all this PR **** feels like job may not be all that safe after all

Looks like it. Also:

Maybe publicly dropping him isn't the best way to go

Bad things in 2018:
Giving players special treatment
Non-restrictive 'tactics' and letting players express themselves
Not shouting or being animated on the sideline

Bad things in 2021:
Not giving players special treatment
Restrictive tactics and micromanagement
Too much shouting on the sidelines

I don't understand how he could be throwing the players under the bus like this when we still have 3 games to play. Not to mention the fact that he's spending so much time on the phone with Journos, where does he find the time to coach and manage?

Except we didn’t spend 144M. We actually spent about 70M.

Pepe’s 70M transfer was paid structured in installments over 5 years. Lille got 20M as the first payment and the balance to be paid over the next 4 years. Our biggest spend that summer was for Tierney for 25M. Saliba’s 27 M transfer was structured over two years so St Etienne got half of it. We also loaned Ceballos for almost 4M. You should get your facts correct before making these disingenuous statements.

If we do spend it will be from players being sold. I’m not sure what fees we can get in this Covid market for most of our experienced players who we want to move on. Most likely we make about 70M from sales if we shift 4 to 6 players out.

Pepes deal was structured but that doesn't just mean you don't pay it back ffs, the audacity.

Must we go from one extreme to the other? Can we not find that Hallowed middle ground some call moderation?

The more he spoke, the more I believed he was about to be fired.

 

[Preacher]

This is equivalent of Arsenal in Arteta's mind.

Co-driver - Arteta
Driver - Arsenal players

There's no middle ground apart from whatever is done while we are winning and things like this become irrelevant.
I'm not defending Arteta but it's funny seeing our fans complain about things they asked for just 3 years ago.

You said we spent 144M. We clearly didn’t. We spent 70m. Hence your argument is false. It also undermines your other argument about the likelihood of us spending 200M.

I suggest you take some mathematical courses or accounting lessons before you speak on these things.

Lastly a commitment to spend is not the same as spending. The transfer outlay for Pepe was dependent on future earnings as well and not necessarily funds just laying in the bank.

I've been humiliated and belittled by friends and colleagues for being an Arsenal fan for the past few months because of this incompetent clown. I'm sure many other fans are suffering like me too. Cone Boy needs to **** out of the club asap

He either needs to admit his faults this season, take some blame, or just shut the **** up completely. He's throwing everyone he can under the bus when he hasn't once admitted any blame in this disaster of a season.

 

[Artisan]

Arteta and Edu view the “Hale End generation”, along with more experienced professionals such as Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding and Calum Chambers, as key elements of their future squad.

 

[SA Gunner]

We will challenge for the title next season under Arteta. Bookmark this.

I admire your optimism.

We have no choice but to back Arteta, since he will continue at the club. So the league may be too far, but top four would be super.

A few months? Try being humiliated for 10+ years mate.

Oh to be a gooner

 

[Artisan]

Don't know about the players, but he's certainly fostered a cult-like devotion from The Athletic crew.

Why? I dont understand why they are so obsequious to him and KSE.

 

[GDeep™]

Might be true, El Neny might be asking for assurances, given no other manager would have so much investment in him.

 

[Rasmi]

Why? I dont understand why they are so obsequious to him and KSE.

they are bought. I really don’t buy the players believe in him so much and are impressed when athletic at the same time saying 5 senior players want to leave. Nothing in artetas personality tells me he is a warm or likeable guy. Nor is he a mourinho where when he comes in players respect his record straight away. When Arsenal hired Arteta they went on the biggest propaganda I seen a pl club do for their manager.

 

[TimoJens]

Chambers went from being a non-option to being a key element of our future.
