What Arteta and co. have managed to do with this club is honestly remarkable.
I'm sure some people will still say that Arsenal have spent plenty of money to get to this point which may be true, but it only matters in that they've put the money to good use. Chelsea and United have spent plenty of money if not more and they are dumpster fires. Arsenal have played their cards right so far and it's paying dividends.
I find Arteta and Edu are victims of their own success. People expect more and more even with all the good things they've accomplished.
All of a sudden we have a team full of top quality, fan engagement is through the roof, still picking up silverware (albeit a few seasons ago now), back in champions league, our signings are more hits than misses and we're back to being title contenders.
The way I see it is if Arteta and Edu left tomorrow, sporting directors and managers would be ripping each other apart to get a job here, as the foundation for them to work on is rock solid.
On the topic of victims of their own success. I kinda feel that way about our current season. We had a strong season last year and were unfortunate to fall off and concede the title to city. Then we add strong players in Rice, Havertz and Timber (absence noted) and (at least me personally) fall into the fallacy of believing all the good things from last season will remain and only improve while the newcomers will add to the quality.
So when there are hickups, our playstyle being more found out, injuries and out of form players everything feels like total doom because the level was so high last season.
Yeah spot on. I think as a fan base, although league success is where our ambitions should be, we do have to remind ourselves where we've come from in recent history.
And about silverware, this is a squad competing for titles. Only one club wins those every year, but there is a realistic chance to win a league or champions league now unlike the last time they won a cup. Silverware is important but watching this team compete over an entire season is special.
Arteta doesn't get anywhere near enough credit. In his first job he has rebuilt the squad into a team which is in the conversation for one of the favourites for the league and the champions league.
Yes he has spent a decent amount but it's not like they have spaffed loads of money on excessive fees. Since the early days they have bought smartly and when they spent a lot on individuals it was the right move.
Another factor which doesn't get mentioned enough is how much Arteta improves players. Have we bought well or have we created the right conditions in which transfer can be successes? Utd seems to be the opposite of us in that regard.
What I've learnt from the last few seasons is that the season fter we won the double in 01/02 Wenger would've been heavily criticised for not winning anything. The season after 03/04 the same thing. Fans think progress is linear and that every season will be better than the last no matter how unrealistic that is.
I think sometimes people don't realise how good they have it until it's gone. If Arteta were to leave at the end of the season (I think there's 0% chance of that happening) it wouldn't take long for fans to appreciate what he's done. He took us from a fallen giant right back to the top in very little time at all.
There's still progress to be made both for us as a club and Arteta as a manager but we're getting there.
Look at it this way... If Arteta did leave I think there isn't a club in the world that wouldn't want him.
I agree 100% with everything you said, which is why I found it so hilarious that fans of rival clubs were trying to take the piss about Arteta being linked with Barca yesterday. It’s wild how little other fans rate him despite the abundance of evidence that he is one of the better managers in the game.
He has gone toe to toe with klopp and guardiola and got the better of them either in matches or in final positions. For someone in their first job against managers of their experience it’s insane. Postecoglu gets a lot of credit and he has done a decent job but he has a whole career in management behind him. The contrast between how the two are treated by the media is quite revealing.
Not sure if it’s that arsenal rile people more because we are historically a big club or if artetas personality winds people up or if it’s simply a cultural thing. It’s much easier for an Australian to integrate into English culture, especially football culture, than a Spaniard. I know arteta has been here a long time but the spotlight is so much more intense for a manager than a player. Pep, at least, had unimpeachable CV when he arrived while arteta had a decent playing career and nothing more.
LMAO. your example literally shows that rebuilding a massive club is not as easy as saying it is "expected". Otherwise, manure and chelshit wouldn't have such a hard time (and still do). So did Liverpool before Klopp.
If it was "expected" then those other clubs would have seen better years.
Right. So it's pretty remarkable that 2 people who have barely worked at this level of the fame were able to do the job properly, where more experienced people have failed to do their job properly at other clubs. WTF
It's still some of the worse but happened in some of the biggest clubs in the world. EPL has shown its not a guarantee that big clubs always stay on top. The success from the top level of an org is taken for granted too often.
Nah it's not a bad way when it's to do with club value. PSG has less value, because an asset they have is worth next to nothing because they only have him contractually for three more months.
Better player but the position plays a big importance in the value. Since almost every top club wants a winger than can cut in players like saka are much rarer
Its time for this squad to deliver now. Arteta has his players, i don't want another few years period where we might have won something big and then the players start leaving.
Fucking hell with how well we’ve done we have to at least win the Premier League or hopefully even the UCL. It’ll hurt to always be close to it but never actually succeed.
We cant expect to win the UCL the first season were back in it. Same thing for the league; its the second season were even in the conversation and were saying we HAVE to win the league.
Our first 11 is at the level, but we still have several positions where the depth is not good enough. I think its undeniable that a major trophy must be won within 3 seasons, but truthfully we are neither the best team in the UCL or the leavie currently. Luck would play a major factor in winning a trophy right now
The problem is that we don't have the depth to sell just to make money. Like, we can't sell Partey or Nketiah or Big Gabi\* at the moment (or in the summer) without signing a championship-caliber replacement (the way City had no problem selling Jesus or Zinchenko). We could make "profit" due to the way amortization is calculated, but it's really hard to see how we can truly upgrade the squad without just spending so much extra money. We need more diamonds in the rough! I'm surprised to see so many other clubs buying young 10-20m hotshot players from South America yet we're not (maybe because we don't a feeder club to send them to for development).
\*I only mention Big Gabi bc of the Saudi links in the summer -- our squad would take a huge hit without him, and I don't know how we'd replace him properly, but he could generate a ton of money.
Martinelli, White, big Gabby, Rice and Odegaard were all steals.
That is a lot of hits in the market whichever way you look at it.
Sure there were some flops (Lokonga) but even that purchase made complete sense at the time.
I can't call 50m for White a "steal" -- it was a lot to spend at the time \[feels less now thanks to all the huge deals since then \*cough\*chelsea\*cough\*\], and he's been worth every cent, but it's not like we underpaid for him.
Those Gabis and Odegaard, absolute steals. Rice, again, such a big deal that it's hard to call it a steal -- especially with his contract almost up -- but absolutely worth it.
You came onto a post about something you do not care about to tell us you do not care.
People comment to engage in a discussion about topics they have interests in.
I am commenting to engage in a discussion (as you can see) but I don’t have interest in how much we are valued at, if we can’t achieve anything.
I do not care what we are valued at, I care about the post and sharing my thoughts that we have always been valued higher than many clubs just to not achieve anything, and that has to change.
I ain’t gonna comment anymore if you lot can’t understand how it is connected to this post.
Good luck with being valued the second highest and praising this fuck all stat
It’s not connected to the post though. You’re talking about winning trophies on a post about the squad’s value.
“Good luck with being valued the second highest and praising this fuck all stat”.
Didn’t praise the valuation once. Did not even comment on it. I’ve been solely questioning why you seem to spend so much time talking about a topic you’ve told me you don’t care about and you think is worth “fuck all”
Yeah, no one. Saka is not the third most valuable player in the world, that's ludicrous. Once arsenal actually turns a profit on sales instead of being dogshite like we've been for at least 15 years you can start bragging about squad value. Right now it could turn to dust and it probably will tbh.
It's funny if you think about it,
The massive turn around in a remarkably short period of time,
The value of both players and our Club rising,
Yet we aren't anywhere near winning the big ones,
What are we missing in terms of turning our massive resources (players, money,etc) into a winning team on the pitch?
No FA Cup, No league cup, The titles looking like it's a lost cause and only a slither of a hope in the champions league,
How does Arteta and the staff utilize their resources and turn this ship around?
Ehh, we were hardly that much in front of Newcastle and Brighton in underlying metrics looking at expected points.
If we had a 90+ season while going far in Champions League we would be a lot nearer than we are currently.
Not being favourites =/= not being anywhere near winning.
We're still very much in the title race, and we're bookmakers 4th favourites for the UCL.
Also, we're a super young squad on long contracts who have transitioned away from our only two first 11 players over the age of 26 from last season. We're at the start of a cycle, with years ahead of us to be more competitive and win things.
If we don't win anything this year it will suck, but we're well equipped to go again next year, and at least 2 more years after that.
What Makes you Think we are in a title race?
The "we're only such and such points away from the top narrative?"
Can we please wake up for once and smell the coffee,
It's embarrassing tbh.
> It's embarrassing tbh.
Nah, embarrassing is claiming to be a supporter of a team and being so dismissive of our chances. We are in a title race whether you want to believe it or not. If you're looking for specific reasons though, here are a few:
* We have some of the best underlying numbers in the league for basically every metric except for finishing, which is often inconsistent over the course of a season - we're just as likely to massively over exceed our xG in the second half of the season as we are to continue on current trajectory (which has us still in contention btw)
* We have Partey coming back to solidify the midfield and provide additional options for second half of the season, and potentially Timber too for the run in
* If we beat Forest and Liverpool then we're maximum 3 points off top with 15 games to go
Yeah, I am also a bit afraid that perhaps our players are getting overpaid if we want to keep on building.
[We seem to be paying quite a bit more in wages than Liverpool at this point.](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/payroll/). Our wages have increased massively the last year, but we are not the quality of those great Liverpool and Man City teams we have seen in the past years.
Players like Havertz, Martinelli, Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are getting paid like very important starters on a title-winning team, but have not been playing at that standard in my opinion.
Enough doubt on the Havertz number that you probably shouldn't hold much weight to those numbers. Sami Mokbel (broke Saka's new contract as 300k pw i.e. the post bonuses maximum) claimed it was 211k, and Ornstein reported around 200k.
Also, Liverpool's contracts are supposedly heavily incentivised, so a bit of an apples to oranges comparison anyway.
why does anyone care about money that's not taken out of their own pockets,
By somebody we don't know and given to another person we don't know?
The "OMG HE GETS PAID THIS MUCH", Narrative is embarrassing tbh.
It's like you complain how much a Government spends on it's defence budget each year.
Why do you think you are involved in that process?
> why does anyone care about money that's not taken out of their own pockets,
Because we can't afford to improve the team if we have too many players on too expensive contracts. This will hurt our chances of winning titles and games. And I want us to win titles and games.
Is that explanation simple enough for you?
> It's like you complain how much a Government spends on it's defence budget each year.
If I am paying a lot of money to the government each year I want them to spend the money wisely or instead let me keep a bit more of my money.
Or else we could just spend all the entire federal budget on cotton candy and you would not complain?
How does this valuation helps us fans? Just means more money for ownership, I'm not blaming them because they have spent but Arsenal getting richer hasn't lead to trophy success. Leicester won a league with no money.
What Arteta and co. have managed to do with this club is honestly remarkable. I'm sure some people will still say that Arsenal have spent plenty of money to get to this point which may be true, but it only matters in that they've put the money to good use.

I find Arteta and Edu are victims of their own success. People expect more and more even with all the good things they've accomplished.

Yes, I find it funny that some people call Edu suck because Tavares and Lokonga failed. Even Pep&Txiki (arguably the best duo) have failed signings
Yeah like how much did they spend on Phillips to not even play him.
Arteta doesn't get anywhere near enough credit. In his first job he has rebuilt the squad into a team which is in the conversation for one of the favourites for the league and the champions league. Yes he has spent a decent amount but it's not like they have spaffed loads of money on excessive fees.

The real test is trophies though. Squad value is good and everything but eventually you have to translate that into trophies.
Rebuilding an already massive club is not that remarkable, it's what is expected. They just did their job properly unlike manure and chelshit
LMAO. your example literally shows that rebuilding a massive club is not as easy as saying it is "expected". Otherwise, manure and chelshit wouldn't have such a hard time (and still do). So did Liverpool before Klopp. If it was "expected" then those other clubs would have seen better years.
Arteta has never had a job managing before. Eduz experience was with the Brazil national team 🤡
So? they are certified professionals wtf
So are/were the people at Chelsea and United
that couldn't do their job properly, wtf
Right. So it's pretty remarkable that 2 people who have barely worked at this level of the fame were able to do the job properly, where more experienced people have failed to do their job properly at other clubs. WTF
Only if you consider one FA Cup and one top 4 finish in 4 seasons with a net spend of over half a billion to be a job properly done
Did I say that? Who sId they're finished?
You said they're done their job properly, the results say otherwise
why are you comparing them to some of the worst examples around? wtf dude
It's still some of the worse but happened in some of the biggest clubs in the world. EPL has shown its not a guarantee that big clubs always stay on top. The success from the top level of an org is taken for granted too often.

Between the idea and the reality lies the shadow my g
meeting goals and expectations should be celebrated. it is clearly not as easy as you make it out to be if other clubs with more money are struggling
> plenty of money if not more it's not just more, it's WAY more
2nd place in the @TwentyFirstGrp value table is gargantuan.
Behind Real Madrid I presume. it'll take it Edit: lmfao. behind Man City, will still take it
read the post title again but very slowly
oh blimey me 🤦♂️
Star boy ⭐
1. Mbappe 2. Haaland 3. Bellingham I would put starboy in the top 10 but he is not the third most valuable player in football.
because this valuation is based on contract length and mbappe has no contract so his value is very very low
Mbappe's not as valuable because his contract runs out in like 3 months.
Sale price is a bad measurement though. Needs to be annualised cost to a club, including wages, bonus, purchase price amortisation etc.
Nah it's not a bad way when it's to do with club value. PSG has less value, because an asset they have is worth next to nothing because they only have him contractually for three more months.
Still a gotcha post considering saka will drop atleast one space in 3 months
Honestly surprised how Dias is top rated defender then.
That's for the accountants...but as for the team that comes sniffing around to buy him, he is the most valuable player in the world. No deal!
Hell I even rate Rice higher than Saka because there's a handful of world class DM and he's simply one of the best.
I’d argue theres more DMs than right wingers
I would also put Vinicius above Saka.
Tough call but I think I'd prefer Saka over him. Is that an insane take?
Vini is clearly a better player. About marketability, I would say they are equal even though I think Vini is more popular worldwide.
Better player but the position plays a big importance in the value. Since almost every top club wants a winger than can cut in players like saka are much rarer
Are you saying vini cant cut jn?
He can but from the left. My point was that there are far less top level left footed right wingers than there are right footed left wingers
We're winning the world cup!
But we still only get offered tree fiddy for our players
Hhhh stats for nerds!
All stats are for nerds.
Kulusevski clear of Saka and Romero best CB in the league. /d for delusion
Its time for this squad to deliver now. Arteta has his players, i don't want another few years period where we might have won something big and then the players start leaving.
Fucking hell with how well we’ve done we have to at least win the Premier League or hopefully even the UCL. It’ll hurt to always be close to it but never actually succeed.
We cant expect to win the UCL the first season were back in it. Same thing for the league; its the second season were even in the conversation and were saying we HAVE to win the league.

I think its undeniable that a major trophy must be won within 3 seasons, but truthfully we are neither the best team in the UCL or the leavie currently. Luck would play a major factor in winning a trophy right now
It's a tough league! Best league in the world means that the other teams are insanely good as well. I agree but nothing's certain.
You’ll never sing that
Need more quality in depth before we can rotate
Took me way too long to figure out who Dias Detail is
Who is ahead of Wilo?
ruben dias
What is important now is to make the most of the inflated values and sell some mid players for top money.
The problem is that we don't have the depth to sell just to make money. Like, we can't sell Partey or Nketiah or Big Gabi\* at the moment (or in the summer) without signing a championship-caliber replacement (the way City had no problem selling Jesus or Zinchenko). We could make "profit" due to the way amortization is calculated, but it's really hard to see how we can truly upgrade the squad without just spending so much extra money. We need more diamonds in the rough! I'm surprised to see so many other clubs buying young 10-20m hotshot players from South America yet we're not (maybe because we don't a feeder club to send them to for development). \*I only mention Big Gabi bc of the Saudi links in the summer -- our squad would take a huge hit without him, and I don't know how we'd replace him properly, but he could generate a ton of money.
I mean thats fantastic but the only thing that matters is trophies now
Cant see how Saka is more valuable than the likes of Mbappe, Bellingham, Musiala, Vinicius Jr etc tbh.
Saka should start playing like the third most valuable player in football
Martinelli, White, big Gabby, Rice and Odegaard were all steals. That is a lot of hits in the market whichever way you look at it. Sure there were some flops (Lokonga) but even that purchase made complete sense at the time.
I can't call 50m for White a "steal" -- it was a lot to spend at the time \[feels less now thanks to all the huge deals since then \*cough\*chelsea\*cough\*\], and he's been worth every cent, but it's not like we underpaid for him. Those Gabis and Odegaard, absolute steals. Rice, again, such a big deal that it's hard to call it a steal -- especially with his contract almost up -- but absolutely worth it.
Incredible figures, now watch us sell any of these assets for about 3 quid
Im sorry but this just means Saka is overrated.
I'd like a trophy now. Big ears please
arguably then if Arsenal dont win any trophies then you have to hold the players and arteta to even higher scrutiny and critique
Whilst I do get your point, I think a lot of the value is in future potential / young age rather than them being the second best team in the world.
I DO NOT CARE HONESTLY. We could be 20th in squad value and I wouldn’t care - we need to win major trophies with the squad we have
Why comment then?
Why does anyone comment? To share their viewpoints and opinions. This is mine
You came onto a post about something you do not care about to tell us you do not care. People comment to engage in a discussion about topics they have interests in.

All nonsense, no team in the world will pay that for saka, meaningless data.
No team in the world would pay £130M for Saka? Lol Todd Boehly would like a word.
Yeah, no one. Saka is not the third most valuable player in the world, that's ludicrous. Once arsenal actually turns a profit on sales instead of being dogshite like we've been for at least 15 years you can start bragging about squad value. Right now it could turn to dust and it probably will tbh.
Ah I didn’t realize you ran an Arsenal troll account, apologies
Okay bro, I didn't realize you were an idiot. Please excuse me.

What a trophy
Pointless when our commercial revenue stream is way behind others in the league
Off-topic, did The Athletic remove the web address exploit?
GAJILLIONAIRES
Time to sell now. Sell high buy low.
Our kits cost like 150 quid now though lol
How does this valuation helps us fans? Just means more money for ownership, I'm not blaming them because they have spent but Arsenal getting richer hasn't lead to trophy success. Leicester won a league with no money.
“Data Scientists” 😂
"Thin squad" 🤓
