Nothing wrong with Cross being disappointed we didn't go for Arteta. Entitled to his opinion.
John Cross should be banned from the media room at our club.
The lad acts like he knows his stuff but he knows **** all.
This melt will be the first one to suck Emery's **** as soon as he learns English.
Don't tempt ROnaldo MadnessKind of infuriating this didn't get 1000 pages before he was announced.
“Several things stood out during his interview and the entire process; his football knowledge, energy, determination and love of the game. His familiarity with our club and our players, the Premier League and the game in Europe were all very impressive. He shares our vision to move forward, to build on the platform created by Arsène Wenger and help this club enjoy greater success.”
Let it go John.

What exactly is your point? He failed in PSG. So he will fail in Arsenal too? There are so many managers who have failed in one club and succeeded in another club. If your whole argument is based on the outcome from PSG, it is very weak I would say.Which is my point exactly. If he had made it work he would still be at PSG...
I have met Stan and Josh Kroenke and it’s clear they have great ambitions for the club and are committed to bringing future success. I’m excited about what we can do together and I look forward to giving everyone who loves Arsenal some special moments and memories.”
Feel like it's setting up a team to get the best out of a set player who also happens to be your best player.I'd love to hear a manager attempt to explain this theory. Im not even sure use the term...
This suggests to me that a deal has been in the pipeline longer than suspected. Sounds like it wasn't hashed out in the couple of hours he was in London on Monday.
This is the clip I was talking about. He takes it off so calmly then just launches it with an unrivalled rage, absolutely love it.
I really hope that Stan and Josh paid full attention during the presentation.
I'm really hoping that they learnt a thing or two in general regarding football and have bought into his plans and ideas, also what he wants on the pitch and how much it may cost financially.
Each party needs to go into this with a full understanding of where we are at currently, and what we require financially to improve, I also hope the Kroenke's/Gazidis were honest regarding finances available to him.
Exciting times.

Some of the more neutral Twitters and news outlets have actually reported on Emery having been interested in the Arsenal job all along and that meetings of club and manager represenatatives have happened as early as a month ago.
I still don't trust Gazidis, I firmly believe Arteta was his idiotic choice being bold for boldness' sake, trying to elevate himself from being the Americans' lapdog in Wenger's shadow into the big boy club of CEOs and presidents. It's either he's lucked into Emery cause the Spaniard gave such a great presentation or was nudged towards him by Raul and Sven.
For not one second do I believe that Emery appeared at Colney on Monday out of thin air, without any firmly established contact to the club, to impress with in depth knowledge about apparently everything Arsenal.
The Arteta fanboys spin it as Gazidis "cold feet" and Emery as some deus ex machina, or label Emery as a yes-man while Arteta, who in the beginning was labelled a rookie yes man, now has become the no-man who wanted too much power over staff and transfers. What a shame Emery is bringing in his own people, so that's the falling out over staff argument regarding Arteta out the window.
I do believe they looked and talked to certain candidates, and while I also believe that Arteta was Gazidis' favourite for a good while, Emery has emerged as the best prepared and most convincing of them. The chosen applicant being one of the last to be interviewed, although employers had already practically set their minds another one, happens in all industries all the time. Doesn't mean Emery came out of nowhere.
