Arteta spent ยฃ900m over 7 seasons having taken over a squad that he has to rebuild from the ground up and in the last 4 years he has finished 1st, 2nd, 2nd, and 2nd and and we were minutes away from a Champions league victory too.
Yet he gets criticized but no one is talking about;
Tottenham who spent over ยฃ1bn and have been in back to back relegation battles.
Manchester United who has outspent Arteta in the same 7 years period but can't even compete for the title.
Chelsea who spent ยฃ2 billion to become a mid table team.
Manchester City spent ยฃ500m but ended up bottling the league having led with 5 games to go.
Liverpool spent ยฃ500m only to become the worst defending champion after Leicester City.
It is only a problem when Arsenal is involved, when it is Arsenal's rivals, it is totally fine.
