Edu's Talent ID striked again.

We signed the one technical director who can't identify talents from his own country.

Of all the young players from Brazil we bough Marquinhos is such a bad look for our club. This club is so far behind the scenes when it comes talent spotting

We have signed a few young Brazil flops before tbf.
I guess you take a punt hoping one may come good like Martinelli.
The chances are they wont.
Could be worse though we could've spent 90m on Anthony.

Remember, we could’ve signed him for free but we gave them £3m to establish good relations with the club. Wolves were the other club interested.

At least Edu keeps the corruption in acceptable amounts

Honestly am I too harsh on Edu or is he just incompetent. It doesn’t help when he talks he come across not the sharpest. He has been celebrated to take Arsenal to top 4 with huge budget basically

Slamming the club for a £3m punt not developing into a PL quality player is peak A-M tbh.

He was sent back from Norwich. I can show you their forum thread. They said he was absolute pants. Now Nantes don’t want him around. Even for our reserve team he didn’t standout

So what, he cost £3m ffs It's literally peanuts for a PL club.

Don't we have scouts for identifying players? Although, Edu probably had a hand in this one from what I read. We signed one of Real Madrid's Latin America scouts, so hopefully he's good at identifying talent from there.

3 million is money. You don’t sign players for the sake of it just cause you have money laying around. He never qualified for even a punt talent level. An acceptable punt is Lokonga which I have no problem with. This was just piss poor. But you defend everything the club does. Like how you argued Timber was signed as LB. A player who never played LB

I didn't argue Timber was signed as a LB ffs I said we don't know.

Literally just pointing out that slamming the club for a £3m signing not turning out to be anything is absolutely idiotic. It'd be the same for any other club in the league, £3m is literally **** all these days.

It'd be like slamming Wenger for Eisfeld or Toral not working out, like who the **** cares. The club saw something, turns out it didn't manifest the way they thought it would, you move on. Kroenke could just look between the sofa cushions and find another £3m.

At least when Don Raul was stealing money through the Pepe deal, he secured a BIG BAG.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Wasn't this guy a deal Edu did as basically a favour for a mate ? We got scammed.

The point is when the player is so of the required level it’s a bad look. It’s the same with Runnarson, the fact we signed a player so off talent wise make me question the board. 3 million pound outside of the PL is decent money. Even punts has to be off certain level so you can say I can see why they signed him, but he didn’t reach the level.

Alright, so it was just as embarrassing when you were signing countless young players for peanuts a decade+ ago? Thomas Eisfeld is currently playing in the German 3rd division, was it embarrassing when Wenger and co brought him in back then?

By all means attack the club for spending £65m on Havertz. Attacking them for spending an accounting error on a Brazilian prospect is just dumb, especially when you currently have a Brazilian punt as your starting LW who is probably now worth £75m+, aka 25 Marquinhos deals.

We have too much of these I feel. It's boring. I am also perplexed as to why of all players to sign from South America..I just don't get it.

The thing is he could have been had for free. So could Fabio Vieira, if you tapped him up with a big signing on fee. I wonder how much of those fees made their way back to Edu and family. Because if they didn't it's pure incompetency. So incompetent or corrupt. Choose your poison.

Also, sure some signings don't work out. But Brighton seem to do far better with talent ID than everyone else.
