Super Mik Arteta

Last 15 years or so we’ve had a cycle of building a good team from shitters but failing to get over the last hurdle constantly. Arteta and Edu rebuilt us brilliantly no matter how you want to view it, but again we’ve hit that ceiling again.

The only way to get over the line is to get your wallet out. We’re a massive club competing in 4 competitions - if you are serious about winning the league you have to spend. If we are restricted by current rules then so be it. But we have billionaire owners who could easily buy us any player we desire. If we aren’t spending it’s because the people at the top are satisfied with the current state.

it is not as easy as we think, right?
if billionaire owners can buy whoever they want, then why are they afraid of getting caught of breaching FFP?

City and Chelsea have found ways around it, just need some creative accounting.

I want us to be winners, but I don’t want us to be called cheaters at the same time.

I mean, City might not have found a way around it.

chavski is apparently being investigated too (mostly Abramovich era if i remember rightly)

I’m sure he could find a mate in the US to give us a nice new shiny sponsorship increasing our revenues for FFP purpose if he wanted to.

quick way to get investigated

Win the title, get investigated 10 years later when nobody cares - the Man City method.

Yeah apart from other clubs this happens, but because this is Arsenal, just like the refs…we would be ‘made an example of’ within weeks. There would be an investigation i pretty much guarantee it straight away.

If we broke FFP in January, we’d be in league two by the start of March :joy:

Our season is illustrated in this game against Man U.

Loads of possession.
Ineffective in attack.
Taking ages on set pieces.
More injuries to key players,
Martinelli can’t beat a player.
Slow build up play.
Can’t break down low block defences.
Need to make some top quality attacking signings.

This has been happening too long and although Arteta can’t do much about injuries, he really needs to change his approach because we’re getting found out far too frequently.

Arteta project is over. 5 years in, and this is the result.

Everything that happened is the result.

Petition to remove “Super” from the thread title? Nothing super about this fraud

Manage. We’re playing a dysfunctional team at home and haven’t scored yet.

If someone donates 50 quid to the site i will.

how about a poll instead? :grin:

Nah. Capitalism.

Every pundit saying our strikers are useless.

Arteta: We need more defenders.
