If the Rice transfer makes the gooners look bad, who the fuck actually cares, West Ham apart ?
Seeing as they didn't historically approach the City board directly when interviewing Arteta and persuading him to move, demonstrates that they have a " different way " of conducting their business. An arrogance perhaps that they could do what they want, as part of the established elite ?
So despite their self-entitled opinions of past glories and standing, they are deluded regarding their principles and values as a club, and from the evidence of certain of their supporters on this forum, they have never learned about humility.
Fuck them, and if it all blows up in the faces, so what, and Arteta can rant and throw tantrums aka Klopp for all I care.
