Seen a few claim that Arteta doesn't love the club (which is an absurd thing to say) and that he isn't 'proper Arsenal,' whatever that means. Few will speak about the club like he does here.

Gary Neville’s mental gymnastics about United being bad are funny. Complains about there being too many expensive players (Alexis, Lukaku) and not enough chances for youth, and now he’s complaining that Solskjær doesn’t have enough “experienced” players and has to rely on youth.

Arne Slot was my #1 pick for the development of Lucas Bergvall, but Big Angelos Postecoglu would've been high up on my list too. I much prefer Spurs as his next step than Barça. I wrote well over 3,000 words on him, his profile and his potential for SCOUTED. Read below.

2006-2014 should go down as Arsène Wenger's most important years at Arsenal and probably the most impressive, I think. Very few others could do what he did; even fewer would be willing to sacrifice a big chunk of their better years to even attempt it. That's his legacy.

These videos aren't about legitimising Arteta as a possible Arsène replacement. But if you refuse to recognise what he did for the club, and his obvious love for Arsenal - potentially to discredit him as a candidate - then you're an imbecile. Mikel Arteta is an Arsenal hero.

Özil is finished at this level - he’s clearly lost motivation, and, subsequently, much of his technical, physical intensity - but let’s not act like he wasn’t absolutely world class for prolonged periods of his career.

Predictable (and justified) criticism of Mesut Ozil's performance in Baku but I think he's like Pogba: highly gifted, but not the genius he's hyped up to be. He does try but lacks that extra level of fundamental game understanding/personality to dominate big ones. Hazard has it.

Having Mkhitaryan included in any Alexis deal is bad. He clearly doesn’t want to join, doesn’t really fit in, he has confidence issues, he’ll be on ~£150k p/w, and he’s 29. We’d just be doing United’s dirty work: clearing out players that Mourinho doesn’t like. Just take cash.
