Mikel Arteta, First-Team Manager

[DarkskinJahmane]

very good for us in his first few seasons but his body betrayed him at the end

class guy and he leaves here after a short spell arsenal through and through, gotta love that...the way he talks about the club, the respect everyone has for him, idk how you can't like him

best case scenario is he goes and learns from Pep and eventually comes back here to coach...can see it happening in 5 yrs or so

[Angelito]

some over dramatic knobs in ere


lets throw extra hate on all things we can blame wenger for cos the old t**t himself wont leave. Arteta stayed too long but he was a crucial buy in a time when we had been utterly embarrassed. He had two pretty good seasons and was kept too long by a manager who didn't want to let go of his charismatic, professional Spaniard.

cry me a river, 80k to Arteta or not, Wenger still wouldn't sign any f***ers so get over it you bores.

Pretty much.

[Fran Solo]

Never been a fan of his playing, but I will always remember (and respect) his decision to take pay cut just to join us.

[Big17]

Fuming about this.

Official now, he's joined City's coaching staff.

[Sims]

The best move for him.

Hopefully we'll see him back at us at some point in the near future

It's funny how we pay for the coaching qualifications of ex-players, just so they can apply for jobs at City. What was the point of keeping Arteta last season here? It sure wasn't for his performances on the pitch.

Traitor. Needs to be hanged to death

[dolan]

Arsenal being City's feeder club, in players and in staff.

[Cripps]

Hope he's as good for them as he was for us

[Cripps]

Also how stupid do Arteta lovers feel now? So sad and emotional during his last game but then goes and joins our rivals proving he didn't give a shit about the fans.

[Arsenal Tone]

I never took to Arteta tbh. Glad to see him moving on.

[Santi]

was expected so not shocked but still reinforces our shitness.

[RowdyRoddyPoppins]

Hate the guy now, shows a total lack of respect to the fans and the club.

Hate the guy now, shows a total lack of respect to the fans and the club.
