Good article

Raul Sanllehi, get out of my club
There are a lot of problems with Arsenal, but the largest ones stem from the top

Arsenal Analyst wrote:Yes, this summer is a huge test for Raul and co. It won't be easy with finances the way they are but we desperately need a clearout so Arteta can overhaul the squad and instil new characteristics in a revamped squad.

I've written about the team's characteristics in my blog today, including this graphic from whoscored.com:

Arteta is clueless as a coach.

Any half decent coach could get the players organised and motivated, Arteta has done neither.

We shouldn't keep making excuses for mediocrity.

Those weaknesses are the same weaknesses we have had for close to a decade.

Why the hate for raul and stan? They've spent big money (Auba, Pepe) and got deals over the line. Not their fault if the foootball people (Edu and Arteta?) pick the wrong players to sign or don't use them properly on the pitch!

They have appointed a total rookie to manage one of the biggest football clubs in the world.

They deserve every hate they get.

A concerned Gooner's take on Sanllehi.

Whilst he deserves credit for sanctioning the signings of Martinelli and Guendouzi—both of whom turned out to be good value-for-money deals—it's difficult to find additional positives about how he has fulfilled his role as Head of Football.


    - Extends Luiz's contract, just months after wasting millions on an injured player in Cédric who might not make a single appearance for Arsenal.

    - Insisted he would not allow for players to enter the last year of his contract. Yet, here we are with Aubameyang, Saka and the likes.

    - Was also close to extending Emery's deal prior to our capitulation during which he stood and watched as we continued to slide further down the table, flirting with the relegation zone.

Either Raúl is incompetent and easily manipulable, or he knows very well what he is doing and has no intention to operate in Arsenal's best interest.

This almost begs the question if he receives financial (or other favours) from powerful agents like Kia Joorabchian and Mino Raiola in exchange for signing or re-signing their clients, regardless of merit. Almost like a Mafia structure. In this particular context, the Don Raúl sobriquet doesn't sound as absurd. Or is it blackmail?

Of course the above is conjecture with a wink and should, therefore, not be taken seriously but—given how dubious many his decisions have been—it's difficult to not let your imagination run wild in order to try and grasp his shady operational conduct.

Here's hoping he somehow redeems himself and makes his skeptics, which includes me, eat humble pie.

Sounds ominous for us. Need to scrap him right now. But who'll bell the cat?

Woo they spent big money on the wrong player(Pepe). Tierney, Torreira, Sokratis, Lichtsteiner, Luiz, Mari, Suarez, Ceballos, Soares and Mkhitaryan have all been shit signings. Only Leno and Auba have been decent from the senior players. Martinelli and Guendouzi have potential but without proper senior players we will never see what they are capable of.
How do you even blame Arteta for signing the wrong players if he joined at the end of december last year?

Seems like a plan for Kia and Raul to rake in the dough.

Just need to get Willian now.
