Definitely Not An Old Poster
I keep banging on about it, but this isn't strictly true because if you're only looking at transfer fees then it's a distorted picture. Man United spent significantly more than us using fees + wages. Other teams as well.Arteta was allowed to spent the most money among all clubs around the globe this summer, though.
But there's no doubt that we invested heavily, and that Arteta should have no excuses for not making top 5 or 6. FWIW, I don't think Ole has done particularly worse than Arteta either. They are both lucky to have stayed in place for so long.
