Agree with this and this is the one time we can legitimately get an external cash injection from the owners. The other issue is that were selling the good sub players and keeping the dross because nobody wants them, thus weakening the squad. And thats not to mention the time we've lost integrating the new players we'll hopefully get. We finally have proper football men at the helm and I just hope there's a strong voice somewhere in there.Apparently Vinai said yesterday that the club has money to spend on big buys without having to raise funds from sales. Doesn’t really pass the smell test for me.
Good signs with Arteta and Edu, but maybe an unpopular opinion held here that there are still doubts about Vinai and whether he is just a BS’er who will protect Josh and Stan Kroenke from more scrutiny, and whether he is truly competent beyond his presentation (time will tell).
Stan Kroenke has just overseen a stadium development in Los Angeles where costs ballooned from $2Bn to $5Bn, and Kroenke has been praised for the project by sticking with it with no expenses spared. If that’s his approach there, where is some of it manifesting at Arsenal? Would Vinai dare to ask Stan if he could do something similar to the cash injection loan Liverpool had a few seasons back (?).
Are the club concerned about suggestions Arsenal have leant very heavily on certain intermediaries in recent deals?
Venkatesham is well aware of the connotations and spoke firmly about it.
“I see, read and absorb a lot of what is being said about how we work with agents. We don’t select players based on the identity of their agent,” he says.
“We select players based on the position we need to strengthen and the characteristics we are looking for. Who the agent is comes out at the end. We are not signing players based on the identity of the agent. That would be a crazy strategy.”
Arteta has only handled transfers for a month. No way at blame at all. He is new to this. Failed to back him.If we blame Edu and Vinai, we have to include Arteta too.
Arteta isn't only a head coach anymore, he is the manager. He is part of the team for transfers.
Just don't think it's right to blame them, if they have no support from Kroenke and Raul is sacked during the transfer period.
Not sure whether Arteta has final say on transfers. He might have some input but there’s no way he’s happy with the business we’ve done.If we blame Edu and Vinai, we have to include Arteta too.

At least Wenger woukd offer 50 p more.This is on the Kroenke's. Two world class midfielders on their knees to join us and they couldnt put an extra 50million quid into the club, we are well and truly done as a club.
How long we going to blame everyone but Stan? We done it with Wenger, now you guys want to blame Edu, Vinai and Arteta.
The money is tight, Stan isn’t investing anything to support his new manager. We either accept that is the model of the club and suck it up, or we ask Stan why he cant throw some money our way.

Everton got a good manager, he was allowed to sign the 3/4 players he wanted and they are top atm.
I’m not even sure we have the team to beat Sheffield Utd tomorrow, I think it’ll be a draw.
The point is Everton backed him with 3/4 signings this summer. 3 new midfielders, that’s what Arteta needs and hasn’t got.No one wanted carlo here.
