Hope this holds from Atletico.

Nottin' personal toward arsenal, but it'd make sorting the Super Cup in Tallinn that much easier.

Think Arteta will get the Arsenal job.

I do wonder how many of the arsenal players would actually respect and listen to his ideas. It would be an incredibly brave choice to pick him and i would be amazed if it turned out to be a successful choice.
 
Arsenal head of medical services Colin Lewin has lost his job after 23 years at the club. Shock decision delivered this morning and understood to have left many #AFC players + staff stunned and upset. Lewin leaves as part of a medical department restructure that could see more go
 
You guys do realize they aren't just hiring an ex player for the sake of it. Arteta is incredibly thought of by the Manchester City team, particularly Pep, and is a huge factor behind their centurion achievement.

I'll admit there is huge risk attached, but it's an exciting appointment, imo, and one that any Arsenal fans who done their homework should be welcoming. Someone with 2018 tactics. At least the club are sticking true to their club heritage and not going for an Allegri/Simeone type manager.

Genuinely wish him the best of luck!
 
Also what most of the people seem to miss is that our whole structure is changing and there will be less weight on Manager or as it looks like he will be the Head Coach now.

We will see how this will go, but I will be fully behind him and wish him the best of luck. Really happy about the reshuffle of backroom team as that was one of the main grievances I had with Wenger that he and his guys became complacent and I think he surrounded himself with "Yes" men that didn't question him.

Been away for a while, but had to come back for this.

That's been almost as mad as the ridiculous Buvac link. The amount of Arsenal fans/ ex-players wanting either of those.

You have a club, at every level, steeped in one way of playing for over 2 decades. And you want to bring in the very antipathy of that and think it wouldn't lead to yet more carnage and down seasons whilst everyone's mindset was slowly changed?

Like players in transfer windows, people just see a 'name' and want him regardless of whether he's an actual fit.
 
Yeah Allegri and Simeone would be bizarre. But maybe that’s what needed a change. But Arteta definitely getting praise for his coaching. Still a risk.
 
Lewin was there longer than Wenger. Holy ****.

Well, it pretty much says that the new gaffer is bringing in his own staff. They've said they're completely restructuring the backroom, and Burgess knows his stuff. As much as I'd love to see Arteta be given a chance I don't think they will risk it. I'm just hoping they listened to Wenger and uphold the values of the club. Give the new manager a chance and don't over react like the vast majority of clubs do these days when they are 10th position after 3 games into a new season.

It's great that he is well respected within the man city structure but at arsenal he won't have pep's backing. I just worry that some ego's within the team might not give him the necessary chance to prove his worth. Would Arteta command that respect by himself?

Who ever get's the job I will support and back, I just worry that this is a bigger job then people think and it will need a strong character to get us challenging again.
