Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

No the set piece coach is still there

Ah. I read something about some coach leaving. I think it was this.

Yeah he’s the women’s coach. I have zero interest in women’s football and I knew that.


I tried with it, I watched the World Cup final last year, but it was so slow, so lacking technically I just got bored


I actually genuinely think the goalmouth in the womens game could do with being made smaller, in both height and width. I’ve just seen so many goals where the goalkeeper lacks the height even outstretched to get to the ball.

I don’t know what he’s actually like, but in that Amazon documentary I think Josh Kroenke came across like a moron, someone sent out to us to get him out of the way by his father.


As for Edu I thought it was hilarious when talking about signing Tomiyasu when his own white board showed we had loads of options at right back already


Again don’t want to go on about what is only a Documentary, but I somehow strongly doubt that Edu leaving has anything to do with the last three league games.

I didn't say it was. The point I was making is that by and large Edu and Arteta have made a good team in advancing our club in recent years, and Edu leaving will inevitably be de-stabilising and perhaps damaging. Arteta seems to have been a bit myopic in the Summer transfer business, and I can't see that the departure of a sporting director whom as far as we know the manager trusts will be helpful.

Just seen this.
Garlick influence

When Edu came in, Arsenal were lacking “football men” in the boardroom. The majority of those running the club were more focused on finances and commercial deals than the pitch. Edu changed that.

Richard Garlick is a football man.

He spent over 8 years at West Brom before becoming the Premier League’s Director of Football. Garlick’s LinkedIn profile outlines his history in the game:

I held a variety of positions, including Legal Director, Club Secretary, Sporting and Technical Director and Director of Football Administration. I was appointed to the Board of Directors in 2010.

Responsible for all football administration matters at WBA and led on negotiations with players, intermediaries, clubs, head coaches and senior football staff.

The feeling at the club could now be that with a football man at the helm, we no longer need Edu.

Previously the man at the top of the tree (Vinai, Ivan), were business first. Meanwhile Garlick has all the skills of Edu and more!

We may well see Garlick absorb Edu’s roles into his own job, and then offset some of the commercial minded roles to Juliet Slott., the clubs Chief Commercial Officer.

That would see us focused on the football from the very top, rather than commercial first then football.

This does not mean garlic has pushed Edu out. More than the leadership structure has been potentially reviewed and a decision made that you do not need two people (Edu and Garlick) with a similar skill set capable of fulfilling a similar role.

I probably just saw the clickbait headline about an Arsenal coach leaving and thought it was something important.
I don't mind the women's game but I do tire of the relentless push to pretend it's the same as the men's when it just isn't.
And we've had the discussion about smaller goals on here. It makes sense up to a point, but WMUG made a good point about it affecting the grass roots game where you're not going to readily have different size goal frames handy. But not a discussion I can pretend to care about that much.

I agree 100% with the constant headlines accross all media that relate to Arsenal that make you look, and then realise its a headline about the womens' team. If I had nothing else to do and Arsenal women were playing a big game I would probably watch them - just because of club allegiance. But not really very bothered...

So it seems the last of the people responsible for overruling Emery and going with stats instead (the Pepe deal) is going.

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.

Apparently according to Teamtalk PSG are going to bid £80m for Saliba and it will be hard for us to say no... £80m think Teamtalk need to do some transfer market research maybe at a 1 before the 8 then we might be tempted (Not saying that Saliba would actually go for that but still).
