Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

[Sid33]

Arteta will be here for the start of next season like it or not!
So we will have to wait and see how this transfer window transpires, with the right signings there can be no excuses (unless of course we lose half the team to injuries in the first few months)
Everyone in football and I'm sure Arteta himself knows he has to deliver a major trophy next season ie plge or clge!
I'd only accept an FA cup, were we to be very unlucky runners up in both the afore mentioned!
A very poor start to the season and I'm sure Berta would be talking to the Kroenkes !
So despite my doubts, if we have a good window, then I will be adopting a positive attitude on both Arteta and the team.
I actually can't wait for the new season as this was the worst in living memory!

With the “wrong” signings, there can be even fewer excuses.

In fact, regardless of what signings are or are not made, the time for excuses has passed.

Youre totally missing my point! I want Arteta out, but its not happening until we see how next season pans out!

I got your point Sid, I was simply making the point that if he fails to win a trophy next season, then there are no excuses under any circumstances.

And let's face it, the trophy in question has to be one of the big two. The FA or Carabao Cup won't cut it will it. If we wanted a manager to waste millions, pay 10m a year and win the odd FA Cup, we might as well take the time machine back to 2017 and give Wenger an ongoing rolling contract extension till the day he dies

Arteta has proved that finishing 2nd in the league is more important than winning cups.
He still has a job next season. Postanoclue has just won a cup but has been sacked.

I don’t necessarily agree but that’s where we are with football these days.

So……realistically when Arteta fails to win a trophy again next season (and he won’t ) he will still be in post for the 2026/27 season….

Looks like the peasants are revolting.

Apparently Arteta Out has been graffitied around the Emirates.

Can't say that I saw any last Friday when I went to Stereophonics at Finsbury Park.

Yeah, top notch.

What could be better, sunny summer evening, a few beers and decent music. Oh, somewhere between 50 &100k people

I think Arteta is now far more of a liability than even Wenger in his last 10 years.

1. Wenger did at least win a few FA Cups with a decaying team. Arteta won one in his first year but has won nothing since, despite having a better, deeper squad

2. Wenger may have presided over perpetual also-rans post 2006, but he did at least have the fig-leaf of the new stadium costs. Arteta has been given lots of money, and squandered most of it. Madwanka at 52 million would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Try not get angry....

If you scroll to the bottom of the article, you can make a comment.... But you HAVE tO Keep it clean etc, or they (the BBC) won't print it...


Mikel Arteta said Arsenal are "short on numbers" and are looking to "improve the depth and quality" of the squad.

The Gunners have been busy in the transfer market and have completed deals for Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Noni Madueke for a total of about £123.5m.

They are also still in negotiations for the 73.5m euros (£63.5m) transfer of Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres and working to bring in young defender Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia.

Arsenal had been hoping to finalise a deal for Sweden international Gyokeres and include him on their pre-season tour but a transfer has yet to be completed, although Arteta has not ruled out new signings joining them in Asia.

"I cannot comment on any player who is not part of our group yet. When we have something concrete to offer in any case to any player, we will do that," Arteta said when asked about the arrival of 27-year-old Gyokeres.

Asked whether there could be more new signings joining his 30-man squad while they are travelling, Arteta said: "There's still a long time in the window and we are seeking still.

"In terms of numbers, we are short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the squad. We are constantly looking in the market.

"Until that happens, [we] focus on the players we have - and I'm very pleased with what I have seen in the last 10-15 days."

Arsenal are in Singapore for matches against AC Milan and Newcastle before they travel to Hong Kong for a game with rivals Tottenham.

Speaking in Singapore about his new signings ahead of Arsenal's match against AC Milan on Wednesday, Arteta added: "It's like shaking the tree again.

"New faces... they bring new excitement, new energy as well. We signed very important players as well. I think everybody feels that the heights have to go to different level and it's what we are seeking."
