Makes complete sense but everytime I try to apply logic/optimism to this club's actions I get disappointed in a major way.Like yes the club is badly run, but they're not actual idiots. They know that Luiz and Cedric are a bit crap, but they're in a tight spot and it's convenient. Surely the payoff is that down the line the club gets an actually good player out of it?
The fear in certain quarters is that Arsenal’s executive team are wed to a select set of voices and marginalising those with an alternative view, particularly when it comes to transfers and planning. Nobody doubted the club’s approach needed modernising in the post-Wenger era and that is why there was surprise when Sven Mislintat, the head of recruitment, moved on in February 2019.
Since then, the suggestion is that Arsenal have surrendered a coherent approach to player-spotting and handed too much power to the contacts books of Edu and the head of football, Raúl Sanllehi. Some members of staff are believed to feel frozen out and there is particular angst that Arsenal, who also conducted a revamp of their academy staff in November, may be losing ground in any chase for the best young players. One former employee claims the club’s approach no longer fitted their values and the high-performance culture fostered under Wenger has been allowed to ebb away.
There is a view that Arsenal’s hierarchy are awkward customers. It has not gone unnoticed among certain club personnel over the past two seasons that certain agents and contacts do not return calls as frequently. One player representative says he sighs inwardly when an Arsenal number shows up on his phone; another is strongly critical of their communication skills.
One of the more interesting/worrying parts:
Top 4 and sexy football under Wenger, on a budget.Why the media were not worried when he got them Ramires Oscar Luiz Willian? The club maybe want to change approach because it was not working with Ivan and wenger.

Still they have won titles and CL with these players i don't think club really worry too much these if they afford to do business then it mean no harm.Ramires was dodgy as hell, Kia owned like 50% of his transfer rights.
The Özil pay cut leak is scandalous when you think about it. We know who it was and why, but still.More leaks from inside Arsenal.
Worst run club in England.
Because people tag me like I'm his boyfriend or something. Or they to annoy me for no reasonPeople have raised concerns over Kia for over a decade now, don’t know why @yousif_arsenal is getting all touchy again.
