Mikel Arteta

[davek]

not so sure that they could have had him if they weren't willing to let him spend, I'm guessing that that is why he came to us, he sees more potential in the team than they are currently showing and he will be given decent money to spend

I didn't read it that way, tbh.

If Arsenal had contracted him he'd have gone to them.

Its a little bit early to be writing Arteta off at Arsenal isn't it? He's only been on charge for two games ffs!

Defo, he isnt the problem, the last manager possibly wasnt the problem either.
Grim players, some who want out, the fans dont help either, there worse then us for negativity

Have Arsenal’s atrocious fan base started #ArtetaOut yet?

 

[49ers]

2 games and he's done.
And it's Arsenal fans that are short sighted.
I saw more from 65mins of football today,than I've seen this season bar 2 Europa league games.
We take any of those openings we created in the first half and we are out of sight. Chelsea were chasing shadows then we got nervous and started to retreat,giving them so much territory in the same level 2nd half was suicidal.

We have no full backs, 1 fit CB and no creativity in CM at the moment.
I no longer think we'll get relegated (famous last words) because the players are now fighting. We'll still have good and crap days,just need to limp along till May and then clearout unwanted players,get the man the players he wants,full preseason and then start from zero with no European distractions.
Gutted about losing so late on but saw more positives than for a long time.

I still think there’s a sizeable level of risk involved with his appointment when you consider how poor their squad are and some of their supposed personal traits.

However, it’s definitely too early to be announcing that he won’t be up to the job and especially when you consider how they played at times today.

Arsenal are in a real state tbh and its going to take a while to sort out with Kroenke at the club.

I look at Arsenal and all I see are two strikers and a few promising youngsters, a massive job for Arteta. I really think we are in a better position squad wise to move on, more than them.

Hope he fails. Can’t stand the thunderbirds puppet.

United and Arsenal are the two poisoned chalice’s of top flight English football (for varying reasons). Wish Mikel all the best but it’s a tough introduction to management and he’ll have done very well if he lasts more than a season or two.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Underlines again why you should never appoint a cone layer.

Every cone layer needs a first gig - just shouldn’t be in the Premier League, and especially not at one of the bigger clubs.

His lovely head of jet black hair will be grey in a year there
The fans expectation at that club is unrealistic they got lucky under Wegner at a time when he knew every young talent in Europe and every other club in this league was playing caveman football them days are long gone enjoy the memories

 

[PhilM]

Couldn’t quite believe the stat that MOTD2 have just mentioned: Arsenal have won one of their last fifteen matches across all competitions.

 

[PDAWG]

Really stupid of him to take the job imo

Going to be great popcorn watching this scumbag crash and burn.
