Last summer really killed us. Over £100 million spent on Saliba and Pepé, and neither player looks close to starting regularly 18 months later. In fact the first thing Arteta did this window was to bring in two new players in those exact positions. Raul deserved the sack for that alone before you even consider his fishy dealings.
Yeah, for that money you expect instant impact.
I not down on Pepe like others, I actually think he will come good, but obviously not worth £72 million which is probably inflated between god knows who.
Arteta has had his hands tied behind his back, he needs a couple of seasons to make sense of this mess.
