Mikel Arteta: Managerial Royalty

This place is too easy

We have a great culture in place now but we need to relax with the targets, we have a young team that needs patience

Good one!

 

[Macho]

A-M discussing targets as a family. The dream I always envisioned. Have we turned a corner?

 

[samspade]

Good one!

4th is just so tough these days, the league's really hard now! Reckon 5th last season was better than 4th pre 2018.

Good thing 4th isn’t one of my targets

See, we’re so Fair & Balanced

I’ve edited it like 10 times to make sure it’s as F&B as possible.

Hope this is the post that brings A-M together.

Good thing too. It's just so tough, reckon we should be aiming at about 6th. Think expecting to compete with Utd and their finances is just unreasonable tbh

Sound like a bloody Blairite, piss of mate and give me my labour party back.

The leadership election has me so riled

 

[Entropics]

Hopefully Edu saying "this is our season" puts some actual pressure, the fact that whenever he goes into a string of losses he gets by with rewards ranging from pats in the back to contract extensions is embarrassing

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Unless something catastrophic happens injury wise I think it's more than reasonable to say that top 4 is mandatory in terms of aims for next season.

If we get there it'll probably have meant we'll have achieved most of the other more minor objectives that have been mentioned too.

Maybe it's just my optimism but it's the first time in a while I feel like we're going into a new season in pretty positive manner. Hopefully results can keep that positivity going.

I don't want us to do well to prove some point about the manager. I want to see us do well and get to the point where we get good results and are enjoyable to watch, for all Arsenal fans.

When you think about it, it's kind of sad that Arteta has taken some fans joy away from the club, Hopefully he can start to redeem himself a bit this season.

Top 4 and one of the domestic cups is my (optimistic) prediction

Just read the full piece and Edu says Teta will be here for another 3 years.

Drink it in.

When does 5th get CL football?

Don't shoot me @albakos I wasn't trying to bait @Oxeki I swear.

Here's a relevant question: We know Arteta's spent a lot of money, but do we think he's spent it well?

Exactly he hasn’t, he spent a ton on either players who didn’t cut it like Pepe, or are always injured but good like Tierney and Partey. He chucked other talented players or had them on loan while Nuno, Cedric, and Holding were deciding our CL campaign. For 400 million you can buy and entire starting 11 of quality if you know what you are doing. Plus Arsenal always have good homegrown talent in the youth ranks and on the books, add 400 million and Klopp or Conte and we would win everything and be where LFC and City are.

He didn’t sign Pepe or Tierney

Give me a run down on notable successes and failures

Tomy and Partey cost a lot of money and are as brittle as peanut brittle

You’re not wrong, don’t think either of them had an injury history though did they

Edit: tomi wasn’t too costly, would be great value if we could get the f*cker fit

The season after next.

This place is too easy

Especially considering your baiting is scraping the barrel level.
