Mikel Arteta: Managerial Royalty

[GDeep™]

His talent id isn’t elite tier though? None of his signings have turned out to be top players, yet. Even Partey has barely one good season.

Even Emery had no money. Even he said so himself.

We paid 70m for Pepe while Emery was here yet the club had no money.. Am I reading this right? So ****ing embarrassing.

 

[GDeep™]

I’ll say this, it seems like he’s going to revamp the attack and I like what I’m seeing.

 

[Wounded Healer]

He has hardworking eye for hardworking players

Imaging attacking our best manager ever while sucking off one of our worst managers ever. This fanbase is a disgrace.

You're sucking off Liam on the corner for a loosey. Pipe down, lad.

Speaking the truth is not attacking Wenger. Wenger was levels above Arteta and got farther with much less. Nobody is denying this.

You forgot this was paid in multiple payments? going over 5 years or something. Emery wanted Zaha, but that would’ve meant paying much more up front. This just proves my point further.

Emery said we have no money and must do loans. His quotes are there.

Nkietah, number 14...will get anyone a little giddy, tbf.

I like Eddie, I’m happy Arteta kept him. One good season from Eddie and his value rockets. This is a win/win.

Which is it? Doing installment payments or doing loans? Almost every big transfer is paid in installments around Europe. This is nothing new and not evidence for a club lacking funds.

Sounds like Emery was frustrated that the club didn't have money for what he wanted rather than not having any money which you obviously disproved your own point here.

The Pepe deal was going to be paid over a longer period than normal, because Raul had a relationship with the owner of Rennes. It was a favour.

Emery wanted Zaha and a top midfielder. I think we loaned Dani Cebellos. Zaha was not possible because we couldn’t pay upfront what Palace would’ve wanted.

Great to see a positive GDeep ("GrinningDeep", so to speak) makes the forum a better place, imo.

I’m always positive. Don’t forget i wanted Arteta straight after Wenger left.

Sometimes you have to be real though and that shouldn’t be taken as negativity.

Either way, it’s all set up for next season, seems like Arteta will have everything he wants to get top 4.

Last I recall it was because we had a valuation that we wouldn't go over (thankfully). We offered 40m. Palace didn't budge. Still had money to make that purchase if they agreed. Just because a negotiation fails doesn't mean we lack funding.

11-14 Arteta was fine, especially in the 12-13 season could make an argument he was the best midfielder in the league, he certainly was stats wise. Toward the end of the 13-14 season he became an absolute liability tho.

Wtf Arteta was never one of best midfielders in the league, what Pl were you watching?

 

[BergMan]

I don’t buy the excuse that Emery didn’t want Pepe. If he was so against it he could have made that clear to the board and they would’ve listened. They won’t sign a player who the manager says no to.

 

[Riou]

Love this guy...he's gonna bankrupt the club and the Kroenkes

Part of that 70m was paid for by selling Iwobi 40m...... Emery was not allowed to hoard talent like Arteta is right now.

 

[Makingtrax]

Yes he’s my hero. I have a DT tattoo on my arse

Finally, a truthful post.

You guys can't make up your mind. Is Arteta dumping all of our players for free or hoarding talent? The mental gymnastics here are something else.

Fail Teta. **** player, **** manager
