We spent 783m euros since 2020, That money wasn’t wasted either: he inherited deadwood and a broken squad. Now, we’ve got one of the youngest, most talented sides in Europe, built to compete at the very top for years. As for Pepe, let’s not twist it. He had moments, but he was never consistent, never justified his price tag, and Arteta can’t build a winning culture around players who don’t buy in. Look at the culture now: no more passengers, everyone fights for the badge.
That doesn’t happen without hard calls. Calling Arteta a bottler ignores the fact he took us from mid-table to back-to-back title races against one of the greatest teams ever assembled. He’s already proven he can restore Arsenal’s pride, now it’s about finishing the job. Writing him off as “not a winner” when he’s still so young in his career is short-sighted, his 43. Sacking him now would be ripping the heart out of everything we’ve rebuilt.
Saliba just signed a new contract; soon Saka will follow. The majority of the reasoning for sacking him from the fanbase was that Saliba and Saka would not sign; they are re-signing with the team because of him.

Patience, young padawan, if we play free flowing football at home and play like Atleti away against hard opponets I don't mind.
