Mikel Arteta: Top Drawer

I would argue we’ve gone backwards in so many ways under Micky.

The Kroenkes just cleaned house for their Denver Nuggets. I’d bet they’re close to doing the same with Arteta.

Happy that this will be this fecker's last season here.

I've been saying for the last two seasons; due to money spent we're actually going backwards. But there are too many sheep's on this forum and social media.

People said Wenger out. Careful what you wish for!

It's just not fun to be an Arsenal fan anymore, that's the brutal truth of this past few years.

Banking on constant Chelsea rejects, looking like the least exciting team in the league and very questionable "non-negotiables" held up as some.bollocks fake standards.

Just feels kinda embarrassing now, tbh.

2021-2023 we looked exciting again and similar to Wengers Emirates teams. Soon as we signed Rice and Havertz; the project has been faltered. Not due to them being bad players but because we overspending

 

[Topside]

Not the overspending for me, the market is bonkers now average players 40m plus.

Our style of play concerns me, slow, sideways and easy to defend against.

If this summer has been agony, imagine if we finish 6th next year, Mikel gets sacked and next summer will be Operation Clear the Dead Wood all over again

Yeah. The fans’ll be saying, “Iraola needs time to clear out Arteta’s sh!t and get his own players. Trust the process”.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

One of the best football minds in the game right now. No doubt about it.

Should be sacked for the handling of TP situation.

 

[boonthegoon]

Sorry but some absolutely stupid posts here wanting him to lose his job for doing his actual job instead of trying to do a job of a judge. If he's supposed to be sacked, then whole club has to be shut down for that situation which has happened.

It was weird from day one tbh.

Overspending? Lol

I'm surprised at the unchecked negativity towards Arteta which is usually quelled by his supporters. My biggest dislikes are the classless way he dealt with Özil and Auba, the love of a Chelsea reject, rigid tactics, overriding fear of losing and the gaslighting that the club was a total mess when he took over. The issue around Partey is just weird. Auba was paid to leave because he was deemed unprofessional. Yet, the club tried to extend Partey's contract when they must have known what was around the corner. It's not like Partey had a poor duty solicitor and Tim Lewis was a partner at one of the biggest law firms in the country. The failed extension is a bullet dodged a la Willian. In defence I would imagine that there weren't any buyers and for example, City are being sued by the acquitted Mendy, so it's possible that Partey had to play, albeit not as much. Don't forget that RvP spent a summer in prison but fortunately, his accuser confessed to lying so we've been here before. I don't think Arteta should be fired for the handling of the Partey situation as that would be a smokescreen for the bigger issue that he's possibly not as good a manager as many believe and has in fact already hit his ceiling. We are stuck with him until the squad is completed in this window but by Christmas, we should be looking with a critical, unbiased eye.

yeah I can't get my head around on his logic as well.... Turning up late for training, dropped out of 1st team. Late for flight back to squad? sold. Comment about China treatment on Uighurs? Sold

Multiple r@pe accusation and investigation against multiple female? Oh innocent until proven guilty. Continue to play him in matches till end of contract. Wait, let's offer him a contract extension since he's good in football

 

[Gooner Zig]

The contract renewal for Partey and the fetish for Chelsea players has really turned a lot of folks (at least on AM).

I personally think he's a top coach but the contract renewal for Partey is a bridge too far for me.

 

[viktor]

arteta should leave arsenal the moment partey get charge by police last week because arteta still put partey on the pitch since invesgation for partey in 2022, arteta has power to control his squad, he should sell partey in summer 2023

arteta made arsenal become embarassing, not to mentioned because of arteta we are trophyless for 5 season after he spent a lot money than wenger (stupid manager)
