Mikel Arteta

[typicalcity...]

Glad we’ve kept Mikel. Big part in peps circle and with the players. Glad arsenal have got emery rather than tuchel, Allegri or Enrique

 

[BongoBlue]

Wait, what's Brendan Rodgers doing on this thread?

 

[nellyonthewing]

Hope he doesn't go ragside.

Going on what Pep said about Arteta's role in Leroy's and Raheem's development, I'm delighted he's staying.

He is likely to move to be a manager at some point, but works well if he stays for at least another year for that reason alone

 

[The Riot Club]

Fantastic news!

 

[bugsyblue]

Great news for us.

 

[urban genie]

I bet the fam chap won’t be happy.
Dick Emry blud, ya get me.

DT is over the moon, a proven winner in his eyes after winning every cup in france (and he has included their charity shield ffs) and the 3 europa cups at seville.

Give him 10 games in any he'll have his rants back :-)

 

[celf]

Just goes to show you how much shite these journalists write , he was nailed on in many quarters for the arsenal job, all speculation, all want that ego of I broke it first !!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Wait, what's Brendan Rodgers doing on this thread?

They did say Bren favourite for the arse !!!

 

[Ric]

Wonder if Arsenal backed away from Arteta, or Arteta backed away from Arsenal? I suspect it might be the latter.

 

[quiet_riot]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want Iniesta to come in, though.

 

[Leto]

Everton should be going balls deep for him now. They'll end up with Silva and he'll be gone before the season ends.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Moyes will go back

Marco Silva I thought?

 

[Danamy]

Brilliant news, if it's true about the transfer budget I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole

 

[Manc in London]

Emery is perfect, is proven in the Europa League.

Haha

Seriously though, he is probably more suited to a team on the fringes rather than a club fighting for the league. He may have won Ligue 1 with PSG but it isn't a top competition. As evidenced by his time at Sevilla, he can get a tune out of average players.

Be interesting to see if the press highlights ght his lack of Prem experience, as they did with Pep.

 

[Bill]

great news

 

[cleavers]

Moyes will go back

He won't be asked, Everton have ambitions to break into the top 6, and by playing football the right way.

He could be our next manager in 3 years

 

[cleavers]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want Iniesta to come in, though.

Maybe he still will.

Well pleased we are keeping Mikel. Arteta has been a key member of Pep's team and I am sure I read somewhere that he has helped in Sterling's development this season.
