This is a big summer for Arteta he has to make the right signings. I hope he has learnt the lessons from the mistakes he made last season and will be better equipped for the season ahead. I do think we've missed a glorious opportunity to put us back amongst the challengers as we had a "free hit" this season. When you consider the top manager/ coaches in European football Arteta is just behind the best of the best (Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel and Conte easily in the top 10 managers in Europe) can he bridge the gap? Well he has to or he's out of a job. For me this coming season he has to deliver a top 4 finish and the Europa League. Falling just short again should not be accepted, and I got a feeling he knows that more than anyone.
Mate, that is the bizarrest thing you've posted on here! How is he "just behind the best of the best"??!!

He is a novice that has won ONE FA Cup and achieved nothing else but taking us out of Europe for the first time in a quarter century and capitulated a nailed on top 4 finish from a really strong position last season.

He is MILES behind the best of the best. I wouldn't even put him in the top 20 coaches/managers in Europe.
He finished 5th behind the aforementioned managers, ahead of 15 other managers The best of the best are CL managers and he's just behind them.
It's not that outrageous.
I understood what you meant :lol:

Only a mad bastard would say Arteta is just behind Klopp, Pep, Conte in terms of quality or experience so I re-read your post and decided you clearly meant league position :lol:
:lol:

Hear that No89 You're a 'Mad Bastard'!! :D Welcome to the club dude! :D :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Someone I know that works at Colney is convinced that Poch is waiting in line for when Arteta gets the bullet. Which is apparently sooner than we all think!

Would I take Poxychinos as Arsenal manager? Fuck no.

Would I take Poxychinos as a replacement for Martinez-Lite? Fuck yeah.

But then, my famous dead Granny would be a better manager than the Spanish David Brent. :wink:

Well, for me Arteta is no longer an inexperienced coach. It's his third pre-season he knows and understands what's expected and the demands of the league. Time to deliver, Mikel.
