Mikel Arteta: Top Of The Klopps

That's, like, your opinion, man.

Going to be interesting seeing how he rotates and uses the bench a couple of weeks from now after the new guys have had time to bed in and train under Mikel.

Our bench options are looking a lot better, so we should start seeing a lot more than just bringing on Holding for whoever.

Having to turn a game around will also be a nice (albeit heart in mouth) chance to see how he has grown as a manager, since he has been getting better at adapting if the plan isnt working, but I still feel he's too reactive and not proactive with his subs (chucking on Robbo to close out a game not withstanding).

To add to this, I also think having an overall better bench will do wonders for Goatee Gajo Fábio Viera.

Surely the squad, mostly the bench players, know by how little we rotate that they have to hit the ground running in a title race.

Hopefully now that load will be shared and allow guys like Fábio to come in without the added mental pressure.

Valid explanation let me ask you a point a blank question? Would you biy a talented a winger with 12 top flight goals for 110 million? If the answer is no there is your explanation. We offered premiums, way above market value, some tosser paid beyond that number. Do you think Enzo and Murdyk are worth a quarter billion? i know here is an explanation no one is worth 10 million in transfers per goal.
For the umpteenth time I'll repeat: Edu had valid reasons for losing out on Mudryk and Caicedo.

But I can also point out how he could have done better in both of those sagas.

I think people deluding themselves into thinking the next step for the club is to get into bidding wars for 150M players are forgetting our wage structure. A signing in that bracket would be on 300k+ wages while our highest paid players will be under 200k. Players like Bellingham will simply not be happening.
Completely wrong. We've paid Auba and Özil 350kpw in recent years.

The whole point of clearing the wage bill was so that we could reinvest those wages on players who deserve them. I think Edu even said this.

Hope Arteta has a plan for Dyche and Everton. I want us to score early and if we can, really pile on the pressure and smash them. I think we all need a straightforward win and after this weekend, I'll be hopeful that he makes better and greater use of a better bench.

Starting line up that won the Fa Cup. What a transformation in only 2 and a half years. The only remaining first 11 player is Granit Xhaka.
Those players who left the club went on to win a Copa America, World Cup, Copa del Rey, European Conference League and a Champions League title, not even counting the two best players in that team.

Us winning the league this season would start to make amends for how criminally Arteta trashed a seriously talented squad.

I remember when Mikel was stinking the place up and I was firmly in the out camp, I used to say “maybe he’s a specialist who needs a full first XI of his own to perform but Arsenal isn’t the place where that’s going to happen”

Fast forward a few years and we’re making 80M bids in January, it’s crazy. If Mikel is the one that finally convinced KSE to start spending then he deserves credit for that alone.

I think this is the most an Arsenal manager has won the award in one season, shocked Wenger only won it max two times in a year.

When we went unbeaten in 2004 Arsène only won it twice, the same amount of times as freaking Sam Allardyce ffs!
