Lol he’s backing too many sh*t players tbh, Arteta as much as I like him is in the process of sealing his own fate. This was also Le profs downfall in the end.
Slyly arrogant that he's watched Wenger, Emery and Ljunberg (who realised very quickly) try get something out of these guys and fail, yet think things will be different for him.
Perhaps the reality of our finances makes it so Arteta has no choice and he’s just sucking it up and getting on with it. He’s dealing with Mustafi a lot better than Emery had done so, maybe he’s right to back himself.
Well he has Xhaka and Torreira partnering well at base of midfield which is a good start. Luiz has also been more solid and leading the team better (last game excepted) so does have precedent - or so the optimist in me thinks.
The realist also thinks we won't be able to blow a ton of cash anytime soon - we're
out of the CL for a few years now, spent heavily in last few windows ( by our standards at least) and don't look like getting back into UEFA cup this season either. Arteta is going to have to be creative and get the most of who he already has onboard
