Since Arteta has been here, he might have overpaid for some players but his transfer business has been good when buying DM’s, GK’s, CB’s and FB’s but the attacking signings have been poor.
He paid around 140m for Havertz, Trossard, Jesus and also got Sterling on loan and none of them have been anything more than adequate and certainly not consistent so he really needs to get the signings of a LW and striker right.
Also the rumours about Watkins makes him look reactive rather than having a plan so could this be something to do with Edu not being here?
With Nwaneri and MLS looking like genuine first team players, perhaps the injuries did us a favour because Arteta had to give them games earlier than he would have liked.
With average young players around Europe being valued at more than 50m, both of them are worth way more.
