I know as the saying says Rome wasn’t built in a day but the lack of decisiveness in the market and the poor operation of Edu and Arteta have really come to light.
The sale of Emi Martinez and the acquisition of a rank amateur for £1.5m from Dijon stunk at the time and it stinks even more so now.

Leno has struggled this year whilst having 0 competition, we are The Arsenal, why aren’t we acting like the massive club we are.
We signed Cedric on a free as backup to Hector Bellerin, at left back we have Tierney and Kolasinac.

Why wasn’t Maitland-Niles sold for a handsome fee at the peak of his interest, or why was Cedric even signed if Maitland-Niles was to be kept? This isn’t proactive.
EIGHT-senior CB’s at this football club.

One of which (Saliba) we paid £27m for who isn’t even getting a kick of the ball.

Luiz new contract? Pablo Mari & Chambers injured.

Sokratis frozen out, Mustafi retained, Holding stupidly overused, Gabriel good.

£533k a week wages
Addition of Partey superb, retention of Elneny who we couldn’t flog for £4m to Turkey? Reliance on Joe Willock? Ceballos has been a horror show.

Leading onto the biggest mistake of all.
The exclusion of our only creative influence Mesut Ozil, not only did we do that. We also failed to replace his input in the transfer market whilst he’s clearly not causing issues as he is training with the Squad week in week out.
Willian was an ok addition as a BACKUP. Starting week in week out was never the plan. Over reliance on a kid like Saka whilst freezing out huge talent like Nelson is baffling.

Lacazette & Nketiah, £40-50m worth of sales alone last summer we missed out on, amateur.
We convinced Aubameyang to commit his final contract to our club yet we’ve made him run channels and surrounded him with utter shite and taken away the chief creator. He must be absolutely seething with the scenario we are in.
2 CM’s a LW and an Ozil replacement we’d be cooking on gas.

Many players are getting a lot of stick but surround them with quality and you get quality performances.

The mismanagement has been really poor and we’ve missed the boat on sales of many valuable footballers.
