Loosing Sven is a massive blow regardless of how people dress it up

I think, that he put a release clause in his contract for a reason. Arsenal is a bigger club than Roma.
I love the "handpicked by Emery" just for the meltdown it causes around here.Think people are misunderstanding signing Monchi if we do
He has a proven track record of signing players for cheap and then turning out to be very valuable because they are good players.
Whether you cash in on them is up to the ethos of the club. Just because we sign Monchi doesn’t mean we have to sell the players he finds because Sevilla did

Cagigao has been part of the club that scouted and then signed Yaya Sanogo. Forgive me if I'm doubtful of his expertise.
We wanted something different and all we got is someone who has been part of this mess for years.
RaulOut!
Hopefully more lazy journalism. Would prefer that than Mislintat actually rating Sokratis.
Thank god.
Hopefully Bernd Leno is next to rule himself out.
Terrible choice if this is true. Leno is a walking mistake.
The reason why Mislintat leaving is made a big deal is purely because of the way the club announced his arrival, he was hyped as the saviour by the club, has delivered so far and now he‘s gone and yet we‘re expected to lap up this guy who was already here this entire time and helped bring us to the position we‘re in. Nah.Way to cherry pick. Besides, Yaya Sanogo is French. That's not his territory. That would have been Grimandi.
I would also point out that Sven Mislintat was the chief scout who signed Ditimar Rangelov, Julian Koch, Moritz Leitner, Marc Hornschuh, Marco Steipermann, Hendrik Bonmann, Jeremy Dudziak, Adrian Ramos and Ju-Ho Park. How did those work out?
By the way, you haven't always been a big fan of Sven's signings:
I think you just like to ***** about everything.

As for your digging up old posts about Mislintat signings, not sure how that is relevant to the discussion at hand? I was obviously wrong about these signings which is why I‘m such a big fan of Mislintats work now. Do I have to bring up all the posts of you hyping up Mislintat‘s signings and Mislintat himself, to make you look like a hyprocite now? I would but I really can‘t be bothered.
The guy is a great scout.
Arsenal is losing a top man.
I agree with you about the cherry picking thing, but that's an odd bunch you have picked there to try and prove a point Most of those are youth products or BVB II signings, or free signings. The only significant signings in there where Ramos (who actually did a decent job for Dortmund by the way) and Park, who cost around 2-3 mill.
But of course, not all his work panned out at Dortmund, be crazy if it did. For a significant segement of his time there the club was handcuffed by the amount money they could spend, and I think it's fair to say it's a lot harder to hit gold when that is the case.
Have you heard of the saying „Anything before the word BUT is bullshit“? You say that Mislintat is a „top man“ and then go on to downplay everything he has done here and in Dortmund and make it look like this guy Cagigao can come in and do just as well. Sven Mislintat is a world class scout that many clubs envied to have, it was the one thing we could big up in comparison to our rivals. This dude who was already here and has shown that he is nothing special compared to Mislintat is now supposed to replace him and we‘ll be „fine“, that is just more delusional crap coming from you.I don't recall the club hyping Sven as any sort of savior. Of course they introduced him in the best light possible, as they would anyone.
As for any posts I may or may not have made "hyping up Mislintat's signings," it would be completely irrelevant because I'm not saying anything bad about Sven Mislintat now. See, I just said this in the post above yours:
I also said this in the same post:
So how would any previous posts "hyping up Mislintat's signings" be in any way hypocritical? Now had I been saying "Man, that Sven sucks! Sure am glad to be rid of him!" then you might have an argument here. But you don't.
What I'm saying is that Sven isn't the only great scout, that nobody is irreplaceable and that if Sven is not on the same page as Sanllehi and Emery as far as a vision for the future goes, then it's best to resolve it now rather than letting it fester and causing bad feelings and division at the club (as happened between Sven and Tuchel at Dortmund). How you can misconstrue that as somehow bashing Sven, I can't possibly fathom.
