You know absolutely nothing about him off the pitch.

Arseblog reporting Arsenal have agreement with Arteta, with just City release part of the deal to be agreed now.

Imo Arteta will do no better than Freddie.......

Hope I'm wrong

I think anyone would struggle with this lot, regardless of age/experience. Worst Arsenal team I've seen for as long as I can remember.

I hope Arteta has the balls to rattle some cages.

I will be interested to see just how much power he is given, especially with respect to transfers.

Will be be allowed to shift out the bad eggs and bring in some players with passion and desire.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo now wading into the Uygur 'debate' backing Özil by name. This is turning into a real shit-storm with Özil and by association Arsenal becoming increasingly toxic in China.

There won't be much Arse merchandise sold in China until Özil is gone. Could be he knew what he was doing when he stirred all this up.

i just find his moral high ground hypocritical, his best man is a Fascist Dictator who has killed and imprisoned his political opponents and bombed the Kurds whilst suppressing any media outlet including Wikipedia or twitter that reports any of his morally bankrupt actions.

... then on a Sunday he stinks the place out. Last week was all so Özil.

Every team he’s played for has said he’s a bit of a *%^@. At this point I think he’s trying anything to get arsenal to pay him off. This includes his little petulant kick when being subbed.

Kevin DeBruyne gives damning opinion on our strikers. This is a coaching issue as well.

You really are a Grade A bullshyter aren't you? Real Madrid fans were raging when he was sold. He was a star at Real and admired and respected by players and fans. Mourinho wrote the forward to his biography and considers him a world class player and has said he admires him greatly.

I like Arteta personally but I have to wonder what percentage of wanting him to be manager is the fact that he is assistant to a wildly successful side?

Except if we back him will earnt he respect of many as a club with real values. Instead of just money.

" A club with real values " or a club that has completely lost it's marbles .

Backing a player who has just destroyed a 1. 3 billion population merchandise market , puts out so little on the pitch while pocketing by far the largest pay check .

Pompeo / America wouldn't have the slightest concern for the Uyghurs they just use any issue to try to embarrass China .

Quite frankly if I was Arteta I wouldn't take the job.

I wouldn’t either.

He’s on an absolute hiding. He’s going to have to find a way to get the fans on board and get the team built into a unit that is hard to beat rather than dynamic.

Then he needs 2 passing midfielders, 1 right back, a player for wide left, 1 centre back and deal with the problem of both our main strikers leaving this summer.

This will take a 3 year swing minimum. Emery and the board have wrecked us.

I would take the job. The money is good! Just park the bus and play on the counter and demand for money to buy new players if results are not going your way.

Great idea.

The squad doesn't have to have to 18 players listed before the game starts.

The obvious problem being that we need 11 players to take the field, and I don't think there are 11 players that get through these admittedly very basic entry requirements.

How can you be skeptical?

It's been proved time and time again by well-substantiated explanations acquired through scientific methods and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation that the ONLY reason that Manchester City ( subsequently referred to as Citeh ) have had this level of success is the FACT that Arteta joined them as Assistant Manager in July 2016

Citeh were nothing before Mikel joined, and their bubble will burst as soon as he's confirmed to be our Manager

Oh ye of little faith...

The major problem I see with your idea is that we haven't even got a bus!
