Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[lomekian]

Very true. I still think we’ll reap long term rewards economically but it will take decades not years. Our new stadium is similar size but cost less than a third of Sp**s’ to build, and because of it’s appreciation in value we can raise capital very cheaply.

One thing that remains to be seen is the full impact of covid 19 and what the club will do about season ticket renewals for next season (I doubt people with uncertain job situations will be rushing to commit to an uncertain schedule).

Basically the financial breakdown means we can only do cheap installment deals or sell to buy. If we our net transfer outgoing's are significant, it suggests KSE putting in some short-term cash advances, which given how all their sports teams are bleeding money due to Covid is unlikely.

Exactly. I don't get this hate for Kroenke. He's not in charge of our transfer dealings. Arsenal have one of the highest net spend in the past few years and yet we have piss poor poor players in our books.

Even if we have a 300m budget this window we'd still spend it badly. We need to revamp our recruitment process first

Yeah even though over the last 5 years our net spend has been £270m compared to the leading spender, City at £602m, we've spent so badly that the gap is bigger than the sums show.

That's £54m a year we've spent. Wolves have spent £45m a year and they're above us in the table. Sums it up.

This is an important point. Those teams also seem to get rid of failed signings very quickly while we reward them with bigger contracts.

We need to buy good young players to rebuild the squad.

Joao Mendes
David De la Vibora
Rayane Bounida
Xavi Simons

Have you ever seen them play? Xavi Simons hasn't shown anything yet which makes me believe he'll be the next big thing, it's a lot of hype mostly from the media.

Quite convenient that you brought up only city's net spend. How about Liverpool that's about 18m per year?

What about Chelsea that has a bet spend of 26m per year for the last five years?

We're 4th in net spend in the past five years and yet we've been dropping towards midtable mediocrity. That's not Kroenke's fault

It takes more than 5 years to assemble a squad. The Chelsea squad is more expensive than ours and the Liverpool is a lot more expensive. It's quite simple really.

When was the last time we won two away in a row?

Not just that, when was the last time we gave away an equaliser in the last 5 minutes and instead of then conceding the winner or just taking a draw, go on to score less than 5 minutes later? Seeing some character for once

We could do well and cash in in Kola, tbf.

Another of the free transfer duds touted as good business

I could see the reasoning behing bringing him in, we were playing a back three, etc.

But I think Tierney had more final balls delivered this game than Kola has had in his whole Arsenal career.

Tbf, Kola does deliver a lot of final balls...... just without looking and hitting a player except by luck

Arteta has figured out the key to away wins, take the crowd out of it really early.

Highly doubt anyone pays any money for him. Will be another El Neny situation.

Arteta slowly but surely getting us back on track!

Hopefully Josh sees how good it has been with switching Emery out for Arteta and switch out Edu, Vinai, and Raul also.

Valencia 2nd leg and Burnley last May.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

RvP has bigged up Arteta and says he should get years. He goes on to say that our defebders are good but we need CB's who are a level or two above what we have. I hope Arteta gets the backing Lampatd and Ole.

Losing to Brighton is getting back on track?

Winning against Southampton/Sheffield is.

And emery made a Europa league final and had a lossless streak of what 10+ matches. Pep’s cone boy beat Southampton and a club that hasn’t won a match since the restart. Wow impressive
