Roland17:Lol... I tell you. If we have had Auba under prime ozil, cazorla, Sanchez and Ramsey, at least we would have competed for league in one of these seasons. It was just so bad I tell you. Imagine the kind of chances our team were creating then and the kind of midfielders that score. But to be sincere, I can't even compare that Wenger's team to present one we have. This team have No scoring midfielder, no good creative midfielder, no good scoring winger(just saka who's a creator sef).... Mehn, the difference is stark. So so Stark |

Jodera: I follow this thread as a Gunner, but I prefer to read than comment. I am not a fan of Arteta and if I had my way he would not have been hired in the 1st place because my fear actually played out. But I see almost everyone condemning him here with almost none seeing anything good or have anything good to say to defend him. While I am not Arteta's fan, but I think some here have not been fair to him. so at the risk of being called Pro Arteta and Arteta Defender, I will still put forward my opinion. First, Arteta is only 36 or thereabout, not too far from the average age of the players he inherited.... we all know Trust and respect are keys to the success of any manager. Some of those players will have issue of giving him the respect he deserves. As if that was not enough, he was a rookie that had never been fully in charge of any team before, not even a lower league team, and as a player he was not an extraordinary player like Zinedine Zidane. The only thing he had for him was that he was working with one the bests; Guardiola. So I thought he was too small for a big club like Arsenal, but then, I also believe that everyone deserves a chance while the opportunity comes. That said, in his defense, Arteta inherited a massively flawed team that requires more than a season to correct, although he himself made few wrong calls... like signing Willian (But then we should not forget Willian was free at the time and fresh from his best days). I knew back then it will be tough for him to make top 4 but I wished he would make it nonetheless.... and like most fans, I felt disgusted when we couldn't even make top 6. But what he is doing now; by focusing on these young talented boys, gives me some hope and impression that he is correcting the errors made and building a new team that will respect him and buys his ideology. Football success is 70% managing people that trust and respect you and just 30% about tactics. Arteta will now not much depend on these big boys who are already too full to learn and who think they will be better manager than him. I see the average age of the next season team being the lowest in decades. If I even have my way, I will say sell Aubameyang, Laca and Willian even if for peanut and without replacement... let's give our younger ones room even at the risk of not making top 6; we will develop better and stronger. But I doubt any team will buy these guys even for free considering their decline and wages. So we have to manage them for now. About Saliba.... I think Saliba ordinarily should fit into the profile of the team Arteta is building now.... but the guy has attitude problem no thanks to many of us who hype him too much, making him feel like he is the best and the only solution to come to Arsenal defense. Arteta cannot afford a young player with big ego at this time...he will mess up what he is doing. Maybe in the future when he is humble and ready to learn. Do I think Arteta will bring us to Top 4 this season? I dont think so, we might end up in Top 6 this coming season, but 2 seasons from now I will expect our new team to be a force to reckon with. Think Liverpool! While I wish we have a better manager, let's be positive and give Arteta another chance. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Spy360:No... Once one deserve more, it's foolishness to accept less. This is same thing our politicians are doing us. We had the resources to improve our squad, but Wenger thought it wise to make the squad "just okay". He doesn't know that stagnancy in a fast paced world also means moving backwards, now the crows have come home to roost and it's biting us hard. For crying out loud, we were a laughing stock throughout most of his tenure(from 2008) and the only thing we look out for is Champions league which we're still disgraced mostly again. Just forget bros, Wenger do us Strong thing. |

ObaIgwe1:Bro... It's good having you here and we'll always appreciate your thoughts and Opinions. You're welcome. Now back to the matter. Actually, most of my sticks on Arteta have mostly being on last season's performance. If you can even check deeper, you'll find out that I'm among those who even still had hope on Arteta till the Uel semi final when he opted to play xhaka at Lb wen we have Cedric who can play there. Also, most of my attacks on him have been based solely on last season cos he made so many decisions that cost us. Well I'm waiting to see how this season pans out sha(I don't rate preseason, reason why I won't start analysing arsenal or Arteta there) You made so many crucial points, but the one I want to be hopeful on is you saying we should give Arteta time that he can take us back to the top. We'll just wait and see as the season unfolds and we hope he does, or at least near there cos we're fast becoming a midtable team and time is of essence. Else we might just be languished perpetually in 8th and 10th 1 Like |

Spy360:I know you'll say we don't have due to stadium building, but other clubs who built stadium have proved that to be a big fat lie. Also, Wenger was stingy, it was when arsenal don dey scatter he now knew he'll start breaking transfer records in lacazette and Auba to do quick fixes. |

Arsenal's has a third bid for Ramsdale which is 18m plus add ons to reach 25m which is far from the 30m rumours were ssaying. Not bad for a backup. |

If someone told me last year that we will be spending £90million on Tammy Abraham and Ben White. I would have laughed that person so much that I might choke while laughing. Mehn seeing arteta spending so much on positions we don't need when there are so many positions that needs fixing is so depressing I swear |
