"Judge when the team is all fit and playing together" -- this is Arsenal, the starting XI is never going to be fully fit.
Didn't bother to defend the Ben White signing at all.
Well, not that he was asked the question so he wouldn't have had to comment on it, but what is there to defend about the Ben White signing?
He was found lacking against a Championship side on Day 1.
"Where we needed to spend big, big money, for me and for Mikel, that was in the centre-back position because we needed someone to fill that position. David Luiz was leaving and this was the one where we needed someone to come here and straight away have an impact on the team with the right profile of what we believe for the short, medium and long term.
^^ Poor explanation IMO. Arsenal's most expensive defensive signing needs stronger justification than "Luiz was leaving". Especially when we have zero goals scored this season so far.
