Why are you discussing the team, rather than the player ? Where they are in the league is irrelevant. Chelsea are third, does that mean Carrick is a better player than Mata ?
Arteta has been boss, that's coming from Arsenal fans who actually watch him week in week out. The fact is that Arteta would walk into pretty much any midfield in the country.
Mikel or Arteta ?
Carrick or Arteta ?
I beg to differ.
And I am discussing the team as well as the player, as the players in the team define the type of team they are.
Arsenal are quite a weak side these days compared to what they were. Hence their fans will cling onto things they would not have previously as their standards will have dropped.
An example being we all thought Marcus Bent was good once, basically as it was as good as we were being served up at the time. Do you get what I am saying here?
On the other point, the fact that the teams with the big budgets that actually win things did not even go in for him speaks volumes to me.
Carrick over Arteta every day of the week.
Obviously you think he is great, I don't, so no point in debating any further I suppose.
