That's exactly what we need, yes.

This all feels like an excuse to dispose of a player Arteta no longer rates, so logical analysis here may be redundant.

Can't see this blowing up the way it has if Auba was still in his mid-twenties and bagging weekly.

Ruthlessness is fine, we need it to a degree, but it also undermines the non-negotiables philosophy and creates double-standards,which can never be a good thing.

That time was December 2020 and they weren't ruthless at all.

He wasn't even fine for the first offence. So this will come as a shock to him I guess.

The more that comes out the worse this looks. There seems to have been little or no sense of escalation here. It's amazing that Auba didn't kick up after the NLD. And don't forget that despite winning the NLD we went on a shit run for weeks after that which cost us European football.

As Voltaire wrote, "Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres"... the point is, though, that executions should only be carried out from time to time ...

I don't really mind this stuff provided it brings out performances and results. The bad feeling I've got at the moment is due to lacklustre results and a looming scoring crisis.

We've got so little football this season and only one objective to fight for. Morale on this jaunt to Dubai could make or break the run at top four so I hope Doctor Arteta has his bedside manner sorted.

And while it worked for France for a while, my fear is we're already past the French Revolution and have entered our 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, where it's all become a bit of a parody and the executions have become a force of habit, motivating no one anymore.

Let's not forget that Auba is not the first case of a player being banished for something, Arteta has made an example of plenty of players, and what worries me the most is that not a single one of the guys he doesn't like has gotten a fair chance at redemption, Douzi was pretty much gone instantly, it's looking increasingly likely Saliba will never play a game for us, AMN played well when he did and is now gone, Pépé's done reasonably well from the bench and still doesn't get minutes .. It just seems he's doing all that disciplinarian flexing to make a point rather than improve the team on the pitch.

At the end of the day the squad still seems to be behind him though, and they know a lot more than me, so as long as he's got that going for him and the results improve I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as I said before. It's just a lot harder to root for an underperforming manager when he's being a bit of a prick on top of it all.

Been this way since the stadium project, if not longer, & more so since the move.

Shady

It's looking like a loan to either barca or juve

Anzac

So Juve manage to make a successful offer to sign Vlahovic that doesn't include a player swap as part of the deal, and end up offering more cash than we did despite our offer being of greater value. Then to rub salt into the wounds/our noses in it they make a subsequent loan offer for PEA = let the good times roll.

If they agree to an obligation then they'd be solving a major problem for us. Although, I expect they want a straight loan.

Gunner89

The player wanted Juve and it's quite obvious. Our offer having more value doesn't matter.

Remove the tinted glasses and most players would prefer going there.

Last push from the Saudis

Hope he doesn't. With their strict laws, Auba will get locked up within a couple of months.

GooneriC

Just pony up some cash for Arteta instead , we'll throw in one free Edu and a discounted Xhaka.

tazmania

He might be off to Barca

Gunner89

So we're left with laca WOW

tazmania

Edu masterclass in how not to manage a club. Loan/sell players in positions where we have no depth and pray that things go well. We're an injury or two away from playing holding up front.

Clrnc

No buy option is just bloody retarded

mdgoonah41

eddie's contract expires in 6 months, and we keep rejecting offers for him, while he keeps rejecting our offers

laca is like a corpse at this point, and his contract expires in 6 months.

and we are now going to let auba leave for nothing.

and it appears we dont have anything lined up. and this is how we are going to get top 4. lol
