It is abysmal recruitment for a club of their status and one of the most lauded managers of all time. Arteta has made us far more sturdy with a collection of outcasts, squad players and youngsters in a short space of time. It's also in stark contrast to Liverpool's squad building, which has been successful with the smart, lower-profile purchases and also the marquee signings.
