Edu Gaspar

[Red London]

Ever since Edu has joined Arsenal… he has sold only 2 players on profit..Iwobi and Martinez
Arsenal have incurred a loss on every other player sold by Edu

This is an extremely unfair statement for 2 reasons:

- Edu inherited a disgusting mess left by Raul and by Mislintat- they both bought lots of rubbish players on high salaries. I know Edu did so at the start of his tenure with Cedric and Mari but apart from that has focused on a different profile.

- Covid. I don't think people invested in the Premier League are realising how much Covid effected the market outside of England. Clubs in Italy and Spain who woulda taken our dross like Mari, Bellerin, Torreira for an ok price 5 years ago can no longer do so- the PL was sheltered from the high amount of TV money and revenue they make. It has created an even further bubble there was before where PL sides can buy whoever they want but subsequently really struggle breaking even (or getting any money) for their unwanted players as the salaries are too high. Our wage bill further compounded this.

So Edu has been no saint and the Mavropanos deal was a disgrace and daylight robbery but its not been an easy market to sell unwanted overpaid players.

Its very unfortunate for us as we were attempting to execute a rebuild just as Covid hit, we haven't gotten much money at all for large portions of our bloated squad. Maybe if we tried this rebuild and to trim down at a different time we would have had more money to invest in transfers tbh.

Arsenal dint spend in January as it was reported that they plan to get their major targets in summer..it doesn’t look like that till now as edu appears to be missing out on players

Strange that let's face it Edu is useless so are the othertwo muppets Arteta and Vinay.

Edu is holding Vinai's true potential back.

Discuss.

...wish Gilberto was more involved with the club like this, help a friend out Edu!

Gilberto is our greatest ever player. Just ahead of Wilshere, Thierry a close third.

Elite order, tbh.

Though if Wilshere becomes our gaffer in the future, think he moves to first place.

Seen a few comments from Gaspar today. Anybody think of why we went for the likes of Mari, Cedric and Willian if he had it all planned out?

Also seems to have put pressure on Teta to get fourth this season.

Good that he's putting pressure on Mik it's about time. I've never seen anyone have such an easy pressure free job till now.

Not sure he has. There is no pressure on Teta.

Both Mari, Cedric were Edu/Kia favour signings. William to a lesser degree & now long departed. We obviously didn't have the correct strategy in place then. Kia has now been sacked off & Edu/Teta revised the policy.

Teta approved all of those signings. He also approved the extensions of Cedric and Mari. So dont blame them only on Edu.

These boys just keep putting their haters in the mud, Bravo Vinny&Ed

@El Duderino Edu was asked if the targets are 100% what Arsenal aimed for or if they changed due to qualifying for Europa instead of CL.

He replied with “Yes” I’m dead.

 

[Paperino]

There has never been one coherent and clear plan. These guys (Edteta) has jumped from one alleged plan to another so they can stay in their jobs. Nobody really knows why since the only thing that can get them sacked are relegation.

It was while Arteta was coach b4 he was made manager. Not sure he approved or whole heartedly wanted the extensions but maybe more accepted them as possible decent squad options. One thing for sure they were EDU not Arteta signings.
But you will always win some & lose some in football.
Whats evident now is that Arteta has more input & they are both more on the same page with clearer strategy.
EDU talks of Arsenal signings & that can only be a good thing.

He’s literally just said he’s never signed a player Arteta isn’t comfortable with. All signings are Arsenal signings, not Edu not Arteta.

He has stated himself that he approved those signings. And Vinai said that he acted like a manager since day 1 so you are talking about little more than a title change.
