Remember those discussions here about Tuchel and how he didn't use money, because those 247 million euros were spent the summer before he came? Now when it is Arteta, of course the summer before should be counted, but when it's Tuchel or anyone else, clearly it shouldn't be counted! That's just the way it is!You've got to include the 2019 window for Arteta, OK he wasn't here until December, but got he huge benefit from it, Pepe helped him win the FA Cup and Saliba, Martinelli and Tierney are driving his bid for top 4 this year.
Btw. my personal opinion is that obviously the earlier spend helps, but you can't count it as money the manager has used, because he clearly hasn't. It's not players he has wanted for his style of football.
