Maybe it was the case of just being one of Pep’s coach’s and he had time to do these otherwise menial things when Pep was handling the larger scale operations.
It’s still mental to see how clammed up he’s getting without showing a glimmer of hope or willingness to just totally flip structure he’s use to deploying.
I wanna say I got this one wrong and we never should have signed him but I also wanna say that every single player that goes past the half way line looks shit under Arteta
Well Mr. Big Brain wanted him soooooo bad. I don’t think Pepe has been good enough but ostensibly starting a rebuild by signing a washed up player from your rivals in the same position as one of the few guys entering his prime years is ridiculous.
Edit: @sevchenko I think you might be onto something. The Kia/Raul pipeline might have been an implicit understanding that Arsenal eats some of Kia’s shit clients for a big before they move to China or Brazil but when the next hotshit prospect comes through, they sign for Arsenal when they make the jump to Europe.
