Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

Obviously Arteta forgot about Leicester winning the league with out massive spend and then making the jump back to CL spots without massive spend.

We just need to get smarter with recruitment and work on improving what we have. We have good players. Arteta has already shown he can improve most of them as seen with Mustafi and Xhaka recently. of course we can get better players but we are in a good position that just needs refining around the edges.

to be fair, the overall quality of everyone else that season was not nearly as good as it is now. Not saying it can’t be done, but we named some high quality players now. Selling dead wood and making 2-3 quality outfield signings and signing aubameyang to a new deal should do it

The aim is to win the league in the next 2 or 3 years. The first window aim will allow us to get top 4. Because you can't do it all in one summer.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::rofl: Without mentioning the one in a million fluke of Leicester. When has a team with the 5th most expensive squad ever won a league in any European country?

No he didn't forget, everybody knows that Leicester was a freak win. They waited 140 years for that. Not a model anyone in their right mind would argue for.

I was about to write this. That was an extremely rare exception and not the rule.

The stars aligned for Leicester. That'll never happen again in our lifetime.

Great to see that Arteta really understands what football is about.

That's from being at City and seeing what he has to put up with compared to Pep. You could drill the arse off some of our players and they'll still balls up when the chips are down.

They only won it because we threw it away that year by signing no one in the summer.

Unforgivable.

I can only go by what he said.

Money helps but it isnt everything otherwise City would have won the league again and Leicester wouldn't have been 2nd for most of the season and challenging for a top 4 finish now.

Shame he didn't actually put this to the test by staying at Ajax when the money explosion started in football.

A great soundbite but like most soundbites deceptive. A bag of money scored Barcelona's goal tonight. Yes, wasn't enough for Barcelona not to lose to Osasuna but they still ended up way ahead of them in the league. Which proves the point that money will more often than not buy success unless someone is spending more than you.

Until we are one of the top 4 teams we will never get close

Yeah. And until we have a team where 3 or 4 of our players would easily get into the other top teams we wont be close.

Player for player we are about the 6/7th best team. Compared to any team more of their players get in a mixed team than vice versa.
