Can anyone? Not like City and Chelsea got where they are through great management.Can he win a title without outspending his rivals? Idk

And for a club like Arsenal who will never be top of the wage bill/transfer spend this is the benchmark.
Our spending has allowed us to compete for the title two years in a row and maybe a third. Stop looking at everything through the lens of trophies (the players don’t care about the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup). What matters is the Premier League and the Champions League. We’re almost there (at least for the Premier League), but this year we’ve been really unlucky with injuries. It’s hard to play good football without your key players (as we can clearly see with Rodri and Manchester City).£700m spent. Signed some injury prone players who are never available. Our attacks a mess, midfield isn’t much better. Our football is slow and boring.
Are we really headed in the right direction?
The league looks dead and buried for this season. Unless he pulls off a miracle and wins the CL, the owners need to seriously consider the management position in the summer! Especially if someone like Inzaghi would be tempted to take the job!
I think you and @Dokaka are both right but it depends on “the phase of the process”.
Generally you’re better off going for the lower cost gambles esp when building out a squad. But when you’re in a position where almost all the work is done but you’re just one rose short of a bouquet- just go and get the job done. Pay up, do whatever you need to, don’t jeapordise the years of work it took you to get where you are because of some sunken cost fallacy bullshit.
Edit: actually you’re not right about a bunch of stuff. It’s not “hard” to upgrade our LW and CF. I don’t know what you’re on about. Like yeah Gordon at £60m would absolutely make us a better team??
Feel like he’s really under appreciated for what he did at Pool and I say that as someone who couldn’t stand him.
My days of creative/funny posting are over. This team has sucked the fun out of me.Think with recent developments it might be time for an update to that anyway @Trilly
Will be hard to beat the first version tho, been what two years and I still remember "watch him destroy Mikriders whether it's with thoroughly researched stat based Arteta hatred or a well timed 'suck your mum'" or that random poster who made the bench by battering @Macho in training![]()

People will bring up what he spent on Van Dijk or Alisson, but they won the league and CL after doing so. The Van Dijk fee we’ve spent on Calafiori, Kiwior and Zinchenko for **** sake![]()
Yea long term exposure to Arteta will do that to you, anything creativity gets purged.My days of creative/funny posting are over. This team has sucked the fun out of me.
Lord have mercy if he ever gets a job at a team with an infinite money glitch.
As much as he has his share of responsibility, the people who call him a fraud are ridiculous. He literally took over a club that was the doormat of all the big European clubs and transformed it into a team that fights for the title every year. This has been a really tough season, especially because of the injuries we’ve been dealing with week after week. He’s at fault for some of his choices during the transfer window, but seriously, can we really blame him for making a few wrong decisions? Guardiola has made them, Klopp has made them, Ten Hag has made them, Ancelotti has made them, and I could say the same for all the other coaches.
Depends on his DoF.
How many Julian Brandt over Salah could he sign without supervision?
Completely dominated by Man City.
The thing with Klopp is he'd turn Julian Brandt into something special. I mean ffs he made Wijnaldum/Fabinho/Henderson look better than KDB/Rodri/Silva when they played against each other.
Completely dominated by Man City.
Are you saying Arteta is not very good managers? Another one that is jumping the sinking ship hmm
Liverpool are still a rich team regardless but they didn't really do much compared to City that won like 6 out of the last 7 or something like that. Not to mention they lost the CL to Real Madrid who are much richer too, beating Sp**s who are much poorer.Won the league twice with Dortmund vs. Germany's City, won the Prem, won the CL with Liverpool before Pep managed to do it with City and sprinkled in an FA Cup as well.
All on almost half the wage budget of City.
But yeah, completely dominated.
No, I said Klopp is twice the manager Arteta is.

That you need to outspend your rivals to win titles unless it's an outlier. You were too desperate instead of actually thinking about what you're posting. Klopp was never on a meager budget at Liverpool anyway, it's just City proving my point.Genuinely what the hell is your point?Klopp won everything on a meager budget compared to the big spenders, it's not up for debate. He did it, and he also pushed them to the limit several times.
