Arteta has been stinking the place out for the past few weeks.

hmmmm

Good spot mate.

How about that eh? Don't any of you doubt my foresight again ffs.

I reckon this will be his last season, he isn't the same player and will be largely average for most of the season, perhaps apart from a couple of games if we put him out on the left again.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave at the end of next summer's transfer window to a footballing side, like Arsenal for example. We have to accept that his time with us is coming to an end.

Scary

-erm, we sold our Mrs....
Don't think it was bitterness that raised the thread,just a reminder of how frustrated we've been at times that didn't regain his fantastic form.

that's denial that is man.

You'll have to go through all the stages of grief.

Denial - Arteta hasn't gone, this is a joke, this isn't happening etc.

Anger - why did the club feckin do this? Why did Arteta put in a transfer request an hour before the window closed the b@stard. etc.

Bargaining - why couldn't we have got more money for him? Can we resign him in a few years etc. What will we do with the 10 million, can we buy him back?

Depression - we'll never win anything without him.

Acceptance - Arteta was a boss player but he's signed for Arsenal now. I wish him well as he was a great player for Everton and given he's 29 and been playing poorly ten million is better than a kick in the face or a poor arteta stinking up the place and costing us 75k a week to do it.

he will probably turn boss for Arsenal. I have "unliked" him on facebook. That will show him.

 

[Summerskin]

Bump.

People need to read the f*cking responses in this thread and stop using him as a catalyst for our poor start this season.

He was awful last season and the start of this one he seemed no different.

Change of scenery at Arsenal has done his performances the world of good, what makes you think he'd start playing like the 2006 Mikel all of a sudden?

75k a week for performances like he put in? In comparison to Fellaini?

You can moan all you want when/if Fellaini goes in this window, but let go of the Arteta thing and read what you probably wrote here.

He was also playing a different role for Arsenal, further back.

It wasn't Arteta's absence that led to the slow start, just an overall lack of creativity. Not entirely sure Arteta was going to bring that to Everton any longer.

The season turned when Pienaar and Donovan came in, and then Jelavic. It was obvious from the beginning that we were missing something, they provided it.

Would really love to see Fellaini stay and play a more advanced role. I don't care what he says, he's a much better player the closer to goal he is.

It's more that he's playing in a midfield that have no problem getting forward. He struggled with us because we were asking him to provide creativity from his own half, where as with Arsenal even defensive players like Song and Vermaelen are racing past him and so his quiet disciplined passing is paying off much more than it did for us, near the end anyway.

Still not the player he was in 2006/07 but he's what they need. Here we were asking him to do much and he and Fellaini never really worked together. It's a shame but there you go.
