Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Yikes. I hope he throws them a mince pie half way through. I'll be smiling at the thought as I'm sat at home.

They were larger than life, both managerial geniuses, very difficult to expunge their persona from the fabric of the club.

Emery managed to expunge quite well in 18 months but he had a lot of help sadly. Fortunately, we have Edu and many fans don't forget or fall for lies.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Hope he's not overly authoritative, needs to hug some players imo.

He said he show the love in his interview. How they respond to that remains to be seen.

Squad is on the naughty list this year. Coal all around.

Mustafi just confused as always.

Mustafi had a sad look after Arteta stole his pass

 

[DJ_Markstar]

FFS!

 

[Bloodbather]

Arteta seem focusing on pass and move quick similar tactics with pep at city the problem we don't have similar quality but these trainings could do wonders for young players

This is the reason why I'm hoping Arteta favors younger players instead of spending too much time trying to win over the deadwood. I'd love to see Emile Smith Rowe in that midfield instead of Mesut Özil, for example.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

That interest seems spurious at best, but by all means, if they stomp up €45m....sell sell sell!

Even as someone who doesn't think Xhaka is satan incarnate and everything wrong with Arsenal past, present and future (unlike 75% of Arsenal fans seemingly), I would definitely sell him at that price.

From the training pics at the official website:
Hoping/speculating that Guendouzi and Sokratis might be the beneficiaries (reading of the game)...

This team seriously lacks athleticism.. First thing that needs to be addressed in the transfer window(s)

Arteta needs a bald head to lean on

As a guy with a partial bald head on the way to become full bald, I find this joke terrible and distasteful. Bald heads are slippery.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I like Mustafi's pose

Arteta wouldn't let him touch the ball even in training

Mikel showed signs early on that he had the characteristics to replace Wenger on the touch-line.

There are no magical solutions to arsenal's problems. It will take at least a season and a half to get us to top level again. And that is if we don't take any more backwards step. We need to get rid of players like Özil, Aubameyang, Xhaka and Lacazette. These players do not suit a pressing team. If we can get rid of these players and buy the right kind of players then we could be a solid team

 

[Wrighty4eva]

New presser up, he sure looks the part, hope it pans out for him.

Just spat my drink out. Well done!

 

[Riou]

Might have to sell everyone...
