Pablo Mari was an Arteta signing. His City links are at the root of that, its obvious. Tierney is a good signing, talent wise. Lets hope he can stay injury free. The other guy Soares. who knows if he is even real. Bottom line is a new manager knows that his remit is to work with what he already has otherwise we may have well have kept Emery if new recruitments were going to be the denominator between failure and success.

Arteta has shown zero signs of improving this team. No real business would ever recruit a neophyte to run its business either in good times or bad. This company, this club has decided to jump over the waterfall with its eyes closed. Shocking decision.
