Just messing mate. Think that was what we all thought when he was linked.Did I? Damn what disappointing prediction

We needed proper defenders for a long time.
None of our centers backs looks comfortable in 2 center back systems.
We signed Mari and Soares who are seriously lacking quality. We need quality.
I fail to see how we move forward with this defense, 8 center backs that are all not good enough and will take 2-3 years replacing.
Since Alexis Sanchez. Since Wenger decided that Petr Cech was enough to challenge for the titleWhen did we stop buying good footballers?
Can't believe you left out this champ
2018, with the exception of Martinelli (the jury is out on Tierney and guendouzi) all our purchases have been poor. Emery didn't make any good purchases and so far Arteta is yet to get a full transfer window.When did we stop buying good footballers?
Realistically speaking how many of our players would start for Utd, Chelsea and Leicester? I'm not even counting Pool or City because it gets embarrassing.
For me: Leno- he's better than De Gea, Kepa and Schmichael.
Auba- top scorer for 2 seasons in a row. I don't think that's controversial.
Tierney-very good lb when fit. Better than Shaw, Alonso and Chilwell.
Saka- great young talent and versatile. Could be a left back for Utd and Chelsea but could find himself in midfield for Leicester or even Liverpool, I'm sure Klopp would like him. That's basically it 4 players out of a squad of 30.
What happened to this club...
Bring back Mkhi
The Villa game shows why no European football would be a huge benefit if we had a somewhat ambitious owner.
The first team does need work but it’s when we try to do any sort of rotation that we see massive problems.
It's not just rotation. Anytime we are favourites and theres pressure on to win the match we dont do it. That's a mental problem but also a problem with how good we actually are.
We can win those one of games once or twice a year. But that doesnt indicate improvement if you get beat by lower half or relegation opposition.
United went on a run of 17/18 games unbeaten. With lots of wins. That's improvement that's consistency.
So far from the CV we have in the league.
Lost to City, Brighton, Sp**s, Villa
Beat Soton, Liverpool, Wolves, Norwich
Theres absolutely no consistency. Cup games are one of games. It just takes a bit of luck and things to fall into place in any given 90 mins.
However our bread and butter is the league. We needed to beat Aston Villa yesterday to qualify for the Europa League. But again we failed. And this is Arsenal. They let one cup game make them void of responsibility in other matches.
We did exactly the same last year it's a constant repeat every year. Its draining.
And I have seen how this ends again. The pressure on us on the FA cup is so intense that these players will buckle. We seen it last year when the stakes where huge and this is the same. Chelsea are going into the FA cup with European football guaranteed and it's a free hit at a trophy for Lampard. It's all pressure Arteta.
Sick to the death of this. Do one good thing and straight away a bad thing.
