As for me, baring Odegaard (who obviously had a test run before joining us), Partey is the only deal he should be proud of. I'm giving Saliba deal to whoever our scouts were in France and the immediate impact Jesus and Zinchenko made to us clearly belongs solely to Arteta as those were players he worked with before, so he clearly identified them himself.
He more than anyone messed up the Mudryk deal and made us a bit of a laughing stock for a while before the joke turned out to be Chelsea.
TBF I'd still rate him over the previous guy that had the job (I think that was Raul or was it Sven?) and in general I think the club is doing better than the late years of Wenger and the Gazidis partnership.
I'd actually love it if another ex player of ours could come and take the job, though I can't think of anyone currently in an executive position in any other club.
Oh well, see you later Edu.
