Good for him tbh.

This dude
THIS DUDE
This dude went all the way to Brazil to bring Mari with him. Couldnāt just arrange a ticket for him, Mari is such a precarious talent that Edu flew there himself to bring him.

Would have also brought Guimaraes back but Arteta begged for Xhaka to stayā¦

This bloke should never have been hired in the first place. Other than being an ex-player, what actually qualified him for the role? He was working as similar in Brazil, where Iām sure there was rumours of dodgy shenanigans involving him, but that doesnāt mean heās up to it in Europe. Throw in the toxic puppet master Kia, this was always a recipe for disaster.

I didnāt have a problem with the vacation pics but I wasnāt happy with those BBQ pictures yesterday. Having said that, I did notice it was his wife that posted it so she might be oblivious to the situation.
Why are people so invasive? The guys doesnāt need to be sat in some office at the emirates to conduct transfer deals. He can be anywhere he wants and handle business but the age of social media is so bizarre that people are watching the mans wife social media stories to gather his whereabouts.

Or asking his son to tell his dad to sign so and so. 
If he was more visible generally, if people had a clearer idea of his plan or vision (and he doesnāt have to do a video or q&a on this, it could be transmitted through his actions) then I donāt think this would be a problem. But all we really know about the guy is what we see on his wifeās instagram so thatās what people are reacting to. I wonāt join in but I get it.
Same way with Bellerin and the fashion or whatever, if heād been doing the business on the field no one would give a shit.

He wouldnāt be copping anything if we actually had a good summer transfer wise, but given the disaster that has unfolded comments that heās receiving are bound to unfold.

I find it hard to describe it as invasive when itās either him or his loved ones putting it out on social media.
He is in a very high profile role in world football, one that comes with a shit ton of scrutiny due to the size of our fanbase. He should be well aware of how it will be viewed if heās on his fifth holiday in as many weeks while we are having a pretty abysmal transfer window. Rightly or wrongly, the reality is that it will not be taken well by many fans. Its about perception management, and this all stems from the things that him and his circle choose to post on social media. They could just, not.
Itās not like weāre feeding off paps who are camped outside his gaff/hotel and are hassling him and his family, that would of course be very invasive. People commenting on stuff him and his circle unnecessarily uploaded isnāt really invasive imo. Like they literally made their whereabouts and activities public, nobody is invading their privacy really.
Itās not obligatory to document your life on social media, people seem to forget that. Just exercise a tiny bit of restraint. If him and his people just didnāt share a load of photos of them getting sauced on holiday weād all have zero idea what Edu was up to and thereād be zero scrutiny on the issue.

As @JakeyBoy pointed out, itās all a perception thing.
He could be on his seventh holiday of the summer but if his family werenāt posting nobody would know or care. Weād care that our market has been crap but assume Edu was still hard at work, whatever that looks like.
Conversely if weād just smashed the summer, dumped some high earning and underperforming players while bringing in young players to address our areas of need, nobody would give a shit what Edu was doing.
Heās part of the āBe Excitedā gang and heās not delivering. Donāt have a ton of sympathy if people are putting him on blast

This is getting played out a bit. Be excited line from Josh was in reference to the club record Pepe deal not the clubās whole approach moving forward
I think that my issue stems from people being invasive with his family. His wife isnāt a director of football, neither are his kids so stalking their social media profiles is frankly bizarre.

I donāt want to be victim blamey (not that Iām sure anyone is a victim here really), or reveal my ignorance of how social media works lol, but canāt his wife and kids etc have their profiles set to private/protected or whatever?
Surely random football fans can only view their posts and follow them if they make their posts public?
Obviously, if theyāre copping flak from gooners online then Iām not saying thatās OK, and is crossing a line. If thatās happening and is what youāre referring to then I wonāt stand by my point. But if their public posts are just being taken as āevidenceā that Edu isnāt working hard enough then I donāt think its anything too insidious going on.

I know that, but itās easier shorthand than writing out that Edu is part of a collection of inexperienced and under qualified executives and decision makers at the club who keep over promising change and serving us shit sandwiches.

Nah. Shit sandwiches would be gourmet compared to what these shitbirds are serving.
