Claudius Offhand you can point to a few areas where it has helped this season.
Trossard, Martinelli, Smith Rowe—all remain motivated and hard-working despite competing for the same area of the pitch in the XI. That's the result of the (possibly fragile) meritocracy we have. And bearing in mind Tross was a misfit at Brighton, and Smith Rowe has barely had a look.
Havertz—evidently demoralised by intra-competitive nonsense and fan animus at chaotic Chelsea, he's been supported by the squad who accepted him on faith due to the Artedu imprimatur as to his attitude and fit. Now he's flourishing.
Raya and Ramsdale—despite being told they were "two #1s" the two have supported each other well, and Raya has been bedded down despite the drama.
The financial benefits of this feature of the Project™ are still undervalued. It's been a masterclass in cultural change.
As a player elsewhere, when hearing about how things are operating at Arsenal, all else being equal you'd want to reach that standard of professional virtue and play for us over the alternatives.
As a player at Arsenal, you'd think twice about moving on to an outfit that didn't share these values, no matter the money offered.
As a fan of Arsenal, you're (somewhat) less inclined to throw new recruits in the critical dustbin, and you get to enjoy powerful moments like the joint run to the away fans at the NLD last weekend, or the joint celebration of a goal blocked at the Amex recently.
Might be challenging to keep this "unity" going if we do push on to major honours, but for now it's huge for us. This is also an area Wenger wasn't great at for a lot of years.
