Midfield needs freshening but difficult in the current market.
Can we really blame Arteta for that?
It is always somewhat difficult to buy players by the fact its a competition and you have to compete. If our ability to compete which is dictated by Arteta and Edu is insufficient then yes you can blame them - not entirely for the club's situation but for their actual failures such as their transfer plan and their inability to reconcile reality with what they cooked up. Assuming a best case scenario and planning around it is rarely the path to success, but this is what we seem to have been left with.
So yes I think we can apportion him some blame, it comes with the job.
