I don't think even Arteta understands that at this point. The situations tells you everything you need to know about Arsenal these daysUntil now, i still can't understand, why we signed Ben White instead of using Saliba

Not only that but both were in Ligue un. So communication between them would not be an issue they could easily do so on the pitch.Yes and it's not so much that White is bad.
But it's bizarre as Saliba is bigger and more dominant imo but not only that, he can pass! Really really well and is comfortable on the ball.
The guy is certi a baller you'd have to be a bit of an idiot not to see it.
We could've spent last season integrating him and he'd definitely be ready to handle the league with Gabriel, instead we dropped £50M on White and sure he definitely needs time but surely using Saliba would've made more sense?
Tbf fair to Arteta we been unlucky. Our expected goals is 5 goals1 goal from open play in 5 games btw.
But United have him.Liverpool have way better attacking talent than Man Utd tho lol Salah is best forward in the league and Mane is top 3 in his position. Also they have the much better defence and manager, only thing they have over Liverpool might be manager and even then Pogba and Bruno are insanely overrated. You’re just buying into the Man Utd transfer hype it happens every season, they might not even finish top 4.
Most clean sheets in Europe since he took over with a defence everybody was convinced wasn’t good enough.Thought there were a few improvements against Burnley, at least we created minor chances.
Then I watched Chelsea and remembered Tuchel was there for the taking but we declined.
We signed B.White and bought a RB like Tomiyasu who will cover the weakness of Ben White. If we use Saliba, we will can have a proper RB to support Pepe or Saka on the right.Not only that but both were in Ligue un. So communication between them would not be an issue they could easily do so on the pitch.
My thing is I don’t think White is a bad player. I just think it is a bad signing. That money could have been better used elsewhere. Also based on what I am seeing Saliba could do what he is doing and better (physically).
Also how badly has he handled the Xhaka situation? The manager’s insistence on keeping him is a poor decision.
Tactically he got a lot wrong against Burnley (he abandoned the midfield) which meant we lost control of the game. Thankfully we won through some individual effort (Saka and Ødegaard). However we were getting pinned back by Sean Dyche’s team of plonkers. Ridiculous
I don't think the market value gives a true picture of a squad. Sp**s are quite a bit ahead of us but Kane and Son are worth £184m. Levy likes his long contracts too, Ndomble has been awful in the main but is 24 and is under a long contract so is still valued at close to £50m, £10m more than Partey and Ødegaard and £15m more than Pepe. I honestly think we have a better squad than Sp**s, they just have 2 World class forwards backed by a bunch of pretty average players.I think that is the plan
According to transfermarkt squad valuation we are quite a way behind Sp**s but comparable to Leicester.
Leicester have a very settled squad & a more experienced manager. We have lots of new players & people forget that ESR/SAKA are so young, As you say not being in Europe may benefit us in getting above them.
The same Rasmi?Tbf fair to Arteta we been unlucky. Our expected goals is 5 goals
But long contracts means nothing. ndombele handed in transfer request and no one came for him because he hasnt performed in 2 years. Partey has been interrupted by injuries, but is a legit world class playerI don't think the market value gives a true picture of a squad.

Possibly, As fans we like to think so but cant be sure, the only black & white metric we have at the moment is that they have finished above us for the last 5 seasons.I don't think the market value gives a true picture of a squad.

Nobody wants to pay for underperforming players on big wages.But long contracts means nothing. ndombele handed in transfer request and no one came for him because he hasnt performed in 2 years. Partey has been interrupted by injuries, but is a legit world class player.
The top 4 are all capable of winning the title & UCL.The league isn't getting harder constantly, but this season it looks harder than ever with 4 teams possibly challenging for the title. Teams spending crazy money and still struggling.
Sp**s and Arsenal were not challenging anyway so a change was needed to try and be better but atm things don't look good for both.
