Learning on the job at one of the biggest clubs in Europe? No, thats not acceptable in any way, shape or form.
So how will that be measured? Keep on spending like we have and we’ll never be awful. Teams rarely stray too far from their investment position, unless the team really down tools because you’ve p!ssed them off big time, like Mourinho at Chelsea.So TLDR; We will persist with this until our success or failure is undeniable.
I remember the 2006-2014 teams Wenger built. I was excited (often to be let down) because we played some great stuff but missed that Vieira in midfield, Adams in central defence or RVP in attack etc. It was frustrating when Chelsea and Man Utd signed higher quality and we were always a couple of players short but ultimately still enjoyable as we played some beautiful stuff and dominated teams regularly.This post should have a lot more reactions because it’s perfect. Especially the bits in bold. One of Mikel’s biggest achievements is convincing fans to overstate the impact of good players.
This isn’t an amazing attacking team that just needs a solid DM or CB, we’re also not a super solid defensive team that just needs better attackers or a team that controls the game but just needs a clinical finisher.
We’re just fundamentally average and that comes from the manager.
He's got to go.
Look Trax, I think they are trying to force the whole culture reset thing, growing olive trees for philosophical meetings, going room to room with the same speech and energy, and other things Guillem BallaGOAT waxed lyrical about. We'll probably see more of that in the All or Nothing doccie.
Power to them, whatever they need to do to take the project to a success, I'm all for that, as we are here now anyway, and unless things really go to the dogs, they'll be here to stay for the foreseeable future. And I dont think we want things to go to the dogs, because after the Arteat OUT brigade have completed their lap of honour, will we be altogether, supporting a failed club.
I look favourably at the process, not just because I could be delusional, but also I have faith in people to get it right if they work hard enough, especially with so much at stake for us as a club, and them with their reputations, especially around these times. And more importantly realising that they ****ed up with Wenger and Emery and we cant do that again if we want to remain a serious club.
So TLDR; We will persist with this until our success or failure is undeniable.

It takes a special manager to get top 4 on a shoe string like Arsène, or beat City to the title spending 3rd like Klopp. I worry that we’ll be meh for the foreseeable future.
Surely there must be a simpler way to say never?
I really do believe this guy will make it as a top manager (cue the red card and thumbs down brigade). The real question for me is when it happens and who benefits from it.
I'd be mighty pissed if he kills it at Barca/City in 5-7 years time, having learnt all the good stuff trial and error at Arsenal FC.
Nah, you're not going to live with that. I'm getting attacked specifically because I've been saying this the entire time.Arteta and Edu haven’t been good enough so far, but they’re learning on the job, might as well stick with it because KSE have committed to it now and aren’t going to change. Let’s relax and see where it goes, they might surprise us, who knows.
No frills, no bull sh!t. I can live with that.
No, 5th wasnt accceptable for Wenger and Emery. So if you tell me 5th is acceptable for Teta you can fvck off.
December 2020?Yesterday would've been preferable.
I wonder where a certain french club in Marseille rank in this regard.
"He fixed the defence."
December 2020?
What if Saliva joins here and turns out to be a flop?I wonder where a certain french club in Marseille rank in this regard.
