Shame he gets mistaken for that twat Lee Gunner.
Edu works so silently that none of the IDKs actually know what weâre doing, which is very interesting.
Although if weâre working so silently how do they know we arenât working on Gnabry

Probably from Bayern & Gnabryâs reps that Arsenal havenât expressed any interest.
Glad we are working quietly though, itâs a much better approach and Iâm so tired of all the BS that comes from ITKs. Seems the club are moving away from having mouthpieces on Twitter and stuff when it comes to transfers

This is a common misperception. I used to do this at work. Iâd keep to myself in my office all day with my headphones in. People would think âOooh damn, heâs working really hard. I wonder what heâs doing.â
In reality I was on OA.
Edu isnât working silently on big deals, weâre not doing any deals rn.

Fabrizio telling us he knows nothing about Arsenal then.
Tbf, it does look like all links to players came from agents or from the clubs weâre interested in signing players from.
Jynxed it

This Edu working in total âsecrecyâ is a very overblown narrative, sounds like fluff big time. What does it even mean in reality and how is what Edu does any different from any other TD/DOF in England?
Our major moves for reasonably known players has always been subject to updates from journalists and ITKs. Arsenal clearly brief Ornstein/Gunngerblog about our business and strategy to some extent before and after windows.
Even under Wenger, I remember making low level signings out of the blue that twitter or the media never even sussed
Yeh personally itâs not really doing much for me in regard to thinking Edu is some hot shit techical director taking our transfer windows by storm.
I do think itâs probably more of a larger reflection of the fact we did seem to have fucking leaks all over the place. You had Ozil and Mustafi and their crew trying to shape certain narratives and you had guys like Ornstein hard wired into the behind the scenes going ons at the club, which never did much us any favours. Although I always felt like the board were itâs own worst enemy during that period and our opposition knowing our moves wasnât the reason behind our poor squad build in the slightest.
Also if weâre trying to lock shit down, build a tighter dressing room and have a more covert and hushed approach to our transfer policies then Iâm not really sure where All or Nothing fits in. Although Iâm sure Amazon is well versed in the art of non disclosure agreements
I think Arteta and Edu made a concerted effort to stop the leaks and its worked to a large extentâŚVieira signing, Partey in the USA squadâŚITKs posting and having to delete tweets or publishing factually incorrect articles
I do really like that part of the set up. Always funny to see them take Ls.

Thats valid on information out of the dressing room.
Although I will say if youâre bringing a large contingent of Brazilians already in or close to the national team, leaks will happen with more frequency if things arenât going well
See with Torreira it part of the SA culture to be frank with press in their own country

With Zinchenk confirmed, I must say Edu is spot on with his incoming.
Granted we are spending big but the players we are bringing in look great value & have a high technical abilities.
Ramsdale, White, Tomiyasu, Odegaard last season
Jesus, Vieira, Zinchenko
Also Kroenkeâs have spent money
Those 7 quality players cost us around 250m.

Donât forget their age profile. None of them are over 25 years old, they can give us a solid 5-7 years if things work out and really help cement the new values of the club and team.
