The Saliba deal could haunt him as well if the kid doesn't have a good impact. Big call spending that amount in our position then the team misses out on Europe & manager sacked by Christmas.
Yeah you're probably right, don't know how much influence he actually has though...plus he is an Invincible, so I have fond memories of him I guess.
Edu is enabling all this rubbish though isn't he? As Technical Director.
Nike > Barcelona > ArsenalWe lost Sven soon after Raul came in, lost someone who was regarded a top scout so Fat Raul could pay 25M for David Luiz and potentially up to 10M for 4 months of Mari and Soares.
He’s here for his retirement money.
Raul apparently insisted that the Technical Director position went to someone "familiar" with the club. Might be getting into conspriacy territory here but you wonder if he wanted Edu just so that the fans would be wary of criticising the dealings of an Invincible, no matter how bad things got.Kia and Edu are a package deal it seems. Get edu, Kia comes with him. Edu good player for us, but gotta question whether he's in it for the love of the club and getting paid, or just to get paid and help his mate get a taste as well.

That's where the real core of the problem has been for years. Wenger continually ignoring defense, central midfield amd GK for years and years while its those areas of the pitch that needed building from. You never see top managers and clubs compromising in those areas no matter what happens. The depressing thing is we wouldn't even have needed heavy investment to sort those areas for good.We need investment in the defence. Mustafi is the only £30m player we’ve bought. The club are quite happy to spend massive money elsewhere yet we continue to neglect a position we’ve suffered in for over a decade.
