IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO ARSENAL

by .

The absolute peak of arrogance is conducting grim business in plain sight of the whole world.

Raul and Edu have moved into the ‘I don’t give a fuck’ territory and it is utterly miserable. We’ve let the foxes into the chicken coup and no one is concerned that there will be no eggs for breakfast tomorrow, next week, or in 5 years time.

We are a super-agent fee trough. That my friends is a terrible place to be. I have been warning you things aren’t right at Arsenal for a while, now you’re witnessing first hand what’s important to our leadership as they double down on average deals with new contracts with a cadre of select super-agents.

Now, to be clear, you can find good deals from super-agents. Their presence in the game is very grim, they suck money out of the sport and offer next to no value, but sometimes the cost of dealing with them is worth it. At a modern superclub, the process should always go in the order of data > extensive scouting > club engagement > super-agent. Not super-agent first. We are now the latter and that has lead us to one of the saddest David Ornstein tweets of 2020.

The problem is this: If the majority of your average deals go through the same people, serious questions arise about the truth of how you landed on the decisions. Why would a club as prestigious as Arsenal lean so heavily on 2 agents? Why do we keep signing up average players from these people? Why, even when our money is being spent badly and we’re 10th in the league, has the club not stopped making these awful deals? How has no one at Arsenal flagged that a technical director using his own agent for a bunch of shoddy deals looks very bad? Huss? Vinnai? Friar? Where are you? Who at Arsenal has the power to scrutinise these deals?

At the moment, it looks like Arsenal are beholden to two agents that are favoured by Raul: Kia and Arturo Canales.

They both have abysmal records with Arsenal.

Canales repped Unai Emery who was an absolute disaster. He repped him BEFORE he officially represented him. His recommendation was so powerful, Raul managed to jam the deal through even though Emery couldn’t speak a word of English to the CEO.

Kia has managed to push Edu, Luiz, and Soares our way. He’s working on Willian and maybe even Neto according to reports in Spain.

Yesterday, despite Arsenal pleading poverty, it was announced that those two agents have managed to land deals for Pablo Mari (4 years), Cedric Soares (4 years), and David Luiz (1 year).

That is contacts football at its peak.

I like Luiz, but his record this season has been atrocious outside a small patch of good games he had before the break.

Pablo Mari, a player I really want to like, has managed a single full 90 minutes for Arsenal, outside that, he has 22 competitive games in Brazil to his name. He lands a 4-year deal with an injury that sees him out until November. Why not a 2 year deal with an option for an extra year? Just to play it safe? He’s a risky signing and let’s be honest, Raul hasn’t exactly been hitting 6s with these sort of deals.

Cedric Soares, a player that Southampton were willing to lose for free because they thought he’d go to a lower league club, has landed a 4 year deal with Arsenal without playing a single minute of football for us. He arrived injured. The player is 28 years old, we’re in the worst economic crisis football has faced in its existence, and Huss Fahmy is out here dishing out long-term deals to questionable talent AGAIN. The man who wanted to instil high-performance culture and smarts on deals is locking an average player into a longterm deal before we’ve seen a single minute of him play? Quite remarkable. Where are the standards?

You’d be hard-pressed to find many people in the world of football looking at these deals positively. The length of the contracts is generous given what we know, the quality of the players is barely subjective, and it is very, very unlikely the players move us onto a level we require. They are unimaginative deals and they are all tainted by cronyism.

Where does Arteta fit in all of this, after all, he’s in the media praising the deals?

Well, you have to put yourself in his shoes. It’s his first job out of coaching University, it’s a huge one, and his boss is in the front seat of the Raul bus of average.

What would you do? Slay your bosses publicly?

I can’t have it.

Martyrdom is for idiots. Very few are remembered or effective. Arteta needs Arsenal to work out for his career to move forward. More than that, he genuinely wants Arsenal to work for him because he loves the club. You cannot affect change if you get yourself marginalised or fired. Complaining in the media doesn’t help him this season and it’d make him look petulant. It’ll also depress an already fragile squad and further fuel uncertainty and stress. He doesn’t have enough reputational capital in the bank to be demanding so soon. Sadly, he has to play the game.

I feel for him. Worse, it now seems apparent that part of his appeal to Raul and Edu is that when you are a maker of Kings, they are in your service. Emery was going to Sociedad before Raul leant a hand. The exPSG coach wanted Zaha, but that didn’t work for Raul who wanted to deal with Lille, so Emery needed to stfu and deal with that. Arteta was a target of Newcastle and Everton before our interest. This is the best first job in Europe he had a chance with. He’s not squandering it, he’s too smart for that. Look how long it took Poch to pipe up about his unhappiness at the way Daniel Levy would run summers. No wonder Raul didn’t want Jose Mourinho at the club, he’d pipe up and get in the way of his special friends.

Not that I think Edu’s decision was a bad one. I am convinced Arteta will earn the right to speak up eventually. It really wouldn’t take much for him to earn more cache at the club that his overlords boast. We know that Josh and Stan love an exciting manager, so let’s hope that despite weak football leadership at the top, he can still achieve something… because my word, we need him to come good, the alternative is bleak.

It’s also up to the people who work at Arsenal to speak out against a Football Director that has taken over and rooted out any possible dissenters or wielders of oversight. Maybe Josh Kroenke should show a bit of interest in the people that have left Arsenal. Sven, Sir Chips, Lord Harris, the data guy to who left for Wenger to name but a few… do they have some insight into the inner workings at the club? Do they have opinions on why we’re landing on deals like this despite all our scouting and technical prowess? Highly likely. I just don’t understand why Arsenal’s owners don’t seem to want to inquire. It baffles me that you can have so little curiosity about what’s going on at something you have a vested interest in.

Still, don’t despair, things always work themselves out in the end. Arsenal is a huge club. We have a curious media. There are a lot of people that are angry about how we’re being run. I don’t think Raul will get away with this sort of performance forever, the question is how low do we have to go before someone at KSE pays attention and makes the necessary changes to push Arsenal back to the top?

A question for the ages, fingers crossed it’s answered soon. x

Ozil and Luiz- a ball and chain around all Arsenal fans ankles

My whole position on this was let’s see the actual numbers not what some semi retard journalist who’s telling the world they know and no one else does.

Pedro should be embarrassed – Leicester spent more on agent fees than we did with a transfer spend almost a third lower and Everton spent more with a transfer spend £30 odd million less than ours.

“We’ve had bad luck with injuries, we’ve been let down by senior players,”

How come this wasn’t a valid excuse to you when Emery was around?

You seem to be moving the goal post every minute.

Pedro’s going to be hit by the old joke “if a hundred people tell you your flies are undone it’s worth checking”

There are too many on here who are asking the same questions, the only answers Pedro’s been able to come up with is “you love Emery” and “Sanllehi’s giving agents all our money”.

One is stupid and the other has just been proved to be massively incorrect.

Sorry but I’m not going to read an article that tells me Mislintat was perfect, all he’s done since leaving is moan and bitch like a little girl and the players he brought in outside of Leno were all a disaster.

I have read the article and all I can say is the same problems were here when Emery took over and the squad Emery inherited was far worse. Just compare Iwobi to Pepe.

So I ask again, Emery worked under the same environment as Arteta so why are your performance measurements different?

I love how the pandemic is now being used to excuse Arteta of his failings as a coach so far.

Freddie Ljungberg

The agent fees report doesn’t look good for the “Raul is only in it to stuff his mates pockets” gang. Less than 14m on roughly 140m worth of transfers isn’t ideal by any means but pretty standard by todays measure and less than what many other clubs pay. Kills the notion that Luiz cost us 24m for 1 season dead in the water, again. Most of that was probably paid for the Pepe deal since that accounted for more than half of our spend, doesn’t leave much for Luiz after the much bigger deals of Saliba and Tierney are accounted… Read more »

That’s without the “claims” of £2.5 million to agents for the Soares loan and I can’t even remember what the stupid claim was for what the agent got in Ceballos’s deal.

I don’t see many reasons to be optimistic about where we’re headed as long as Raul is in charge and Kroenke doesn’t give a shit. I can’t stand these super agent dealings. I wish they’d just let Cagigao do all the buying.

The way the club is run is embarrassing. My mate who supports Chelsea won’t even give me shit, because he actually feels bad at the pitiful state we’re in. Too pathetic to even make fun of—that’s fucking depressing.

Yeah, but has VAT been applied to those agents’ fees? If not, double them.

“IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO ARSENAL”

With the four recent signings you would be hard pressed to believe that anyone is. Arsenal appear to have gone from relevant to irrelevant and heading nowhere fast with management decisions that roll your eyes and on field performances that leave you shaking your head more often than not.

Great patience is required, buckle up cause its going to be a very long and bumpy ride to the promised land.

Marc

As it stands we’re currently now behind Newcastle and Everton in the table, 9 points behind Wolves and even 4 points behind Sheffield Utd who are losing at the moment. Southampton could go level on points with us if they beat us tomorrow and I expect Sheffield Utd to have a reaction against their last 3 results and give us a really tough game on Sunday.

Marc

“I don’t see many reasons to be optimistic about where we’re headed as long as Raul is in charge”

Signed Pepe, Tierney, Saliba and Martinelli last summer.

I reckon Pedro’s posting under fake names!

MD-Gunner

If you think about it, tinkering with the formation being an Arsenal regular occurrence, maybe Luiz will play in Xhaka’s position Luiz can pass and not defend perfect sub if Xhaka is still injured.

All the pundits are in agreement Luiz is not a defender so perhaps Arteta wants to play him in midfield.

Marc

Agree re Mislintat. Leno was the only diamond his eye found.

TR7

I will judge our transfer activity on the basis of what we do in midfield. If we sign average players in defense to save money and buy two good midfielders in summer, I am all for it. Good midfielders can make even average defenders look good. Soares is a good player. Has played games for Portugal and was not bad at all for Southampton. One can question the tenor of his contract though. I have not seen much of Mari but he has different attributes to rest of our defenders. He is someone who can sit back like Mertersacker and… Read more »

Marc Pedro doesn’t have a comeback story this time. The numbers are there for all to see. Raul is the contacts guy but how come the shiny data savvy Edwards paid so much in agent fees?

How many times do you need the two situations compared before it sinks that one had a full preseason and money spent on the squad, and the other has picked up a broken toy midseason? Incase you haven’t realized it yet, the two situations cannot be exactly ideal.

When Arteta took over the club, he already had a relationship with the players and spoke English.… Read more »

You know and so do I. If Mari turns out to be a decent CB alongside Saliba giving him some guidance he’ll suddenly be an Arteta signing. If Soares is a cheap RB option and does OK whilst we sell Bellerin to spend the money on a couple of CM’s it’ll suddenly be all down to Arteta as well.

Losing the dressing room knows no language, Azed. Emery lost the room completely and Freddie never had the room. Arteta gained the room slowly but surely through actions and not just words. I get what you are trying to say, but I view this from a differing tact, attitude of inheritance.

Im not questioning his sub selections or his line ups for two reasons, Marc.

1. We don’t know the true status of individual players in terms of fitness and attitude – Arteta does
2. Shit is Shit and he honestly does have shit to select from, so he often will be second guessed on this

Freddie Ljungberg

Now if we offload Guendozi after convincing Xhaka to stay that would be inexcusable.

One is linked to Hertha Berlin the other to Barca and Real. One is young and has plenty of scope for improvement, the other is slow, reckless and not suited to the PL.

Bringing in 3 players for defensive cover for a pittance doesn’t upset me if the saved money is used well, we won’t find that out for a couple of months though so no need to panic yet.

Sure, the squad is still not balanced and we have some dross clinging on that drags the level down but leaving Pepe out when he’s one of our few game changers, playing our best CF on the left wing, our best left winger on the right and keeping our second highest goal scorer on the bench just to play Eddie isn’t encouraging.

His subs has been crap too. Hope he learns quickly.
