This really surprises me. My understanding was he’s spent a lot and I didn’t think the club had recouped very much.

Sorry, 4th.
Way I see it is this, he has spent a lot more money in recent years and they have substantially improved however you could make a very bold prediction and suggest any 100 managers could probably have done the same.
I remember how bad that Arsenal team was in the early days of his time there when it looked like he may be sacked.
Yes teams won’t waltz through the backline now but I still haven’t got that spell over.

Absolutely @mattyhurst and the really telling thing is they have regressed this season
Ladies and gentlemen, Arsenal will be playing four, four, fucking, two.

I assume we will see what happens on that score. I just don’t rate him too highly.
Also found the Ramsdale thing really odd.
Arteta has won the same amount of trophies at Arsenal as Ten Haag did at Man Utd.
He has spent vast amounts.
He blames the ball, injuries, you name it for lack of success.
If he was manager at any other team challenging for the PL or CL he would be sacked this summer.

At 1632 this afternoon, Arteta will have given Liverpool more guards of honour than he’s won trophies
The closest he’ll get to the Champions…twwiicceeee!

Arrogance of Madrid, NOT EVEN the success rate of West Ham.

To be fair, Arsenal have won two European trophies.

Blue tick wankers do it on purpose to rage bait, they should just be ignored tbh.
For me, I’d certainly leave Arteta continue his work and see how Berta has replaced Edu, whether they can improve a bit in recruitment. That change (or better to say Edu’s departure mid-season) has gone a bit under the radar.
They do need a few more bits and pieces in the transfer market, but that of course always goes in hand with how you use what you have at disposal. They don’t necessarily win the league by simply buying a big lump of a striker like Osimhen and that’s it, I’m not one of those.
Definitely a midfielder (and since Rice is, in this phase of his career, becoming more of an all action #8, they do need a controller) and possibly a forward or two. Certainly a central option of some kind and possibly another player for new quality (Martinelli is still good to very good, but has become a bit predictable).
Some real positives from the likes of Timber, Skelly, Nwaneri.
Arteta has a deal until 2027 and then in a year’s time at the latest, they will probably decide whether it’s time to continue together or there are new, different motivations from one or both camps.
