Super Fab says Edu might leave

[Macho]

Interesting, as even on AON I don't see him like that. Good to know that there might not be an imbalance of power between the two, specially since he's Arteta's boss.

Yeah, if what I suspect is true then it's good that Edu doesn't visibly throw his weight around and undermine Arteta who has more of a public facing role. Just an educated guess scrutinising their interviews over the years though.

Being new to this role and dealing in Europe himself, I would imagine having a new manager like Arteta suits Edu more than we care to admit. A big name manager would probably make more out of failed transfer targets, weak sales or disappointing players, or just not listen to Edu's ideas in general and campaign for a different strategy.

Might change going forward if Edu walks out of this version of Arsenal with some credit however.

No clue, two random teams. From a table perspective a Sp**s loss would be ideal, a draw would be ok.

Just put my dead grandads uncles inheritance he left me on a draw. Thank you nacho I want to please my grandads uncle even if he’s in the after life.

 

[Entropics]

If he takes Arteta with him he has my blessing

 

[NieThePiet]

why thread title says "Edu might leave".

So if someone would be interested in Saka, the title would be "Saka might leave", right?

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Some red flags on players Edu pushed for and that Mikel managed to put his foot down and say no in Neto and a couple of others, if memory serves.

Didn't know this. Do you have a link? that's interesting.

Why don’t you shut up?

It's somewhere in @Nacho posts when he shared Athletic articles. Maybe in the ramsdale thread?

Can't remember. But Emerson and Neto were both veto'd.

But Neto because of injury problems, wasn't it?

Because Ramsdale.

He is the Pep of directors, once you spend 170M every season you can only look great

Say that to Nottingham Forest and Man United.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

I imagine his contributions go well beyond (badly) identifying targets…

I’ve often had to manage incredibly capable people who were objectively “better” than me at most things. In those cases my job was to shovel **** out of their path, help fight their battles and steady the ship when required, give them someone to bounce ideas off whilst maintaining the culture we had built at the firm over the last decade. Basically do everything possible to let them do their thing and be awesome.

It’s a bit like gilberto silvas role in the invincibles… just because you can’t “see” someone’s contribution to success, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there…

So what you're saying is that both you and Edu do nothing at work...interesting...

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Because Ramsdale.

Ahhh I was understanding Pedro Neto

 

[MartiSaka]

The reality is we don’t really know the respective contributions that edu and arteta have made in turning around the club. You would think as a technical director that edu was involved in the project youth strategy which I believe is where the club started to turn things around. But we don’t know to what extent or how recruitment plays out at the club. Is it largely driven by arteta or edu, it’s not clear.

The only thing the documentary showed me was that edu and vinai were at one moment saying that arteta needed to keep auba and then the next minute he was being loaned out on deadline day. Suggests arteta has a fair amount of clout.

You just figured out how sports journalism works, congrats.

 

[Rasmi]

Bs rumor Edu's just trying to improve his stock, barely competent at his job at Arsenal..

So true. He fed Romano this

 

[Dutch D]

Hope he fecks off. Get a competent DOF in who knows how to sell players.

It’s not entirely his fault that we couldn’t sell players though. We just came out of an economic disaster due to Covid; and I don’t think people realise just how bad and overpaid some of our players were. No competent club will buy the likes of Mustafi, Sokratis, Willian etc on the wages their on. He messed up on AMN though. However, I’m expecting an improvement in selling this summer. Tavares, Trusty, Lokonga, Holding, Cedric, AMN, Mari, and one of Eddie/Balogun. He should be able to recoup a decent fee with those guys. There’s no excuses not to.

 

[GDeep™]

Barcelona want him to give all their players away for free? Interesting.

I think Mick runs this club now anyway. We saw that when he ousted Raul.

Think he also dictates the players coming in, he’s in total control, club said as much when he took on being a manager from coach.

Not fussed at all about Edu.

Look at the Guendouzi deal though? Such a low buy cause, it’s ridiculous. He’s regularly in the France squad now.

Arteta and Edu fell out and Guendouzi’s stock was at an all time low. What sort of buy clause could Arsenal expect with a player everyone knew they wanted to get rid of?
