Edu & Vinai: The Dream Team

My brother posted it ⏩
Brilliant interview on the Arsenal website from Edu. Clear plan in place, owners backing, incredible relationship between manager and DOF. This club is finally starting to go places. Ivan sold us a dream, Mikel and Edu will make that dream a reality.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

We've all been complaining for ages about the lack of athleticism and physicality in our team. Glad to see Edu and Arteta saw the same thing and went for faster stronger players, just looking at Gabriel he already stands out of our defenders.

Temas crying for technical players as well. Think Ceballos is the only player in the starting eleven who can carrt and pass a ball properly.

If Elneny passes the ball forward more than 5 times a match he passes out.

Thread Bump Police
As relationships splinter, another executive suggests the men leading the biggest clubs are nothing like as “clubbable” as you might expect. Peter Moore, who recently left his position as Liverpool chief executive, was certainly not a mover or shaker in Premier League circles. Woodward is seen as more charismatic in some regards than Gill, but less persuasive. Arsenal have never adequately replaced Dein, who was so adept at the political side of things as well as well being a shrewd, well-connected football operator, but in terms of political influence nor have they replaced Gazidis, who is now at Milan. Vinai Venkatesham is still learning the ropes. For now, Arsenal, in a state of transition, are hanging onto the coat-tails of others, rather than being the driving force they were in Dein’s years.

I still maintain that Raul's skills as a diplomat and political operator are still valuable. Vinai & Edu are going to need decades to cultivate the gravitas and charisma Don Raul gave us whilst he was here.

I really wish we could have just rapped him on the knuckles for whatever his misdemeanours were, promoted Edu & Arteta to manage our football operations, and allowed Raul to maintain the network of contacts and influences that would have benefited our operations away from the pitch.

Arsenal's top contract negotiator Huss Fahmy (right) will leave the Emirates, reveals James McNicholas. The Athletic understands that Fahmy, who joined in June 2017 from Team Sky, has become the latest member of the club's hierarchy to agree to his departure after a spell of significant restructuring. Fahmy will stay for the next month to conduct a handover before completing his exit.

Who is Huss Fahmy?
Fahmy was the club's head of football operations and assisted with completing contracts and talking to agents.



Former head of football Raul Sanllehi described him as "a talented and highly-capable leader of our football operations".

Why has he left?
With Arsenal's executive structure undergoing a number of changes in recent months, and in the context of a wider streamlining process, there have been significant conversations about what Fahmy's role might look like moving forward.



Subsequently, Fahmy has taken the decision to leave Arsenal.

What does this mean for Arsenal?
Arsenal still have a strong leadership team, with manager Mikel Arteta supported by technical director Edu and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham.



The club also have a highly experienced legal department capable of handling the minutiae of contract renewals.



The likelihood now is that Edu will take responsibility for handling the vast majority of negotiations.



Fahmy will, however, be replaced by a new head of football operations.

Who else has left recently?
Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Francis Cagigao, left the club in early August and head of football Sanllehi followed shortly afterwards as the club restructured their executive branch.



Head of UK scouting Peter Clark and scout Brian McDermott also left, as did first-team rehabilitation coordinator Tim Parham.



In the summer, Arsenal also announced they would be making 55 staff redundant, citing the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason.

League is very weak
Didn’t our contract situation get worse after he came? Considering it was a car crash situation before he came he somehow made it worse.

We have 3/4 players who will leave for free in a few months.
