It's been more than obvious PEA has a dodgy attitude and was increasingly dialing it in.... He was club captain and on the biggest wages yet (eg) turned up late for a NLD and reportedly went awol on other occasions.
This is no defense of Arteta, but loads of the goons accepted that PEA was a bad egg...... We're just seeing typical gooner revisionism here from both some of their fans, but also within yours and other posts here.
Yeah mans a cunt no doubt but although it's fantastic they did so I genuinely can't believe they are still paying his wages apaz, and paid Barca to get take him away, then didn't replace him.
They spent all Jan chasing Vlahovic who basically said in the press I'm not joining anyone not in the CL end off. Conned there fans that they was close to getting him just for him to obviously not join them and end up at Juve. Panicked tried to sign that Isak only to be told to fuck off or pay 75million due to how late it was just to end up with nobody.
And then Arteta came out with something like the right player wasn't available.
If we had conducted our business even half as bad as that in Jan there would have been riots outside the stadium. It's legit like if we had ended up selling Kane in the summer and not bought anyone in to replace him and ended up sticking Lucas up front. It's genuinely laughable how fucking bad they are currently being managed.
