Arteta has been at Arsenal for 2 and half seasons. They have yet to make top 4. 8th, 8th and 5th.
Whereas over the same period we were 6th, 7th and 4th with zero stability.
He had a huge job of clearing away some fantastically waged zero contribution top stars (supposedly) who were poisoning everything for the first two season or so, admittedly once done they spent big last summer (biggest spenders of PL then?) and it's lifted them from 8th to 5th - where he fell over was not getting in a couple of quality strikers, instead relying on one who is about to walk at the end of this season (probably) and one who is way past it...
I don't want to defend him, but he's been unlucky with injuries as he's rebuilt his squad - afraid I wouldn't write him off at all - if anything if they do get a decent striker or two, they could be a real problem...for all the current Top 4...
