For many years, the Gunners were regarded as a talent feeder club.
If it had been then, players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, and Eddie Nketiah would have considered pushing for moves to other top clubs and not extending their deals.
The perception that Arsenal is a feeder club is slowly fading under Mikel Arteta’s leadership. Arteta’s leadership has brought the club much-needed success, generating concrete improvements that have penetrated the organisation and resonated deeply with its devoted fanbase.
Arsenal is a club where players see a future and where others want to play.
There is now a relentless work ethic inside the group at the Emirates that demands nothing less than the highest passion and commitment from players.
The continuous emphasis on hard work has been critical in unlocking the players potential and laying the groundwork for their individual and collective improvement. Like during Wenger’s finest days, the team has developed a certain game style that has allowed them to return to competitive mode, vying for the Premier League title after years of simply turning up for match days.
The team’s tantalising proximity to Premier League triumph last season, as well as the return of Champions League action next season after a seven-year absence, have validated Arteta’s ability to instill a competitive and winning attitude in his players. Top talent will now seize the opportunity to move to the Emirates, knowing it is the place to be.
A player like Declan Rice wouldn’t have seen his future at the Emirates a few years ago, but all the chatter about his links to the Emirates suggests he believes he can advance his career there.
Arsenal has established itself as a strong force in its own right, capable of mesmerising and luring key players away from rival clubs.
Their future appears to be brightening as Arteta’s initiative progresses.
TRUST THE PROCESS!
COYG!

I’m proud of this Club. I hope we get a backup for Bukayo Saka
The Spaniard was grilled as to whether his side is any closer to fulfilling his vision he has had for the club since he first returned as a gaffer in December 2020 and his subsequently replied as I can remember ‘still far’.
Now here is where it got interesting,
When he was pressed on what it will take for his players to achieve the ultimate aim ‘ We have to be quicker, sharper be more adaptable and be more consistent ‘ these were just some of the sentiments he expressed then.
Arsenal has just completed a campaign, it is the best I have personally seen them perform since saltfish use shingle house.
It would be interesting to hear his response if the same questions should ask to him today
Could this be the ultimate formation the gaffer envision for Arsenal.
————————Ramsdale
-Timber-Saliba–Magalhease-Zinchenko
—————–Partey——-Rice
—–Saka———Havertz——–Odegaard

This team will need a little time to integrate and I still see a little weakness .
Rice plays consistently in a 4 2 3 1 for West Ham and England
NEWS CONFIRMED! HAVERTZ transfer completed and he is now our player.
. Better still, we have AGREED with West Ham, a fee of £105mill to sign RICE. He will now be ours definitely!
Great news. Jurrien Timber next.
Excellent
Last season was a massive jump in performance, from the previous two and a half. We are now in the league where we should be. A bigger challenge next season is to consolidate and play in the CL. Not just play but compete.
It strikes me that SAM P ,with his welcome optimism , is the polar antidote to Dismal Dan Smith with his relentless pessimism.
I do love his optimism no matter what!
Well said Sam. The determination of Rice, Havertz and Timber (who may well yet prove to be the bargain of the summer – watch this space) certainly says a lot about Arsenal’s rapid progress up the “food chain” that is football recruitment! As fans it’s easy to see only our disappointing season’s close whilst forgetting all that went before. Footballers themselves are falling over themselves to join us and only players with no hope of playing a part are looking to leave.
The combination of Arteta’s coaching, vision and powers of persuasion, a family atmosphere, an exciting young squad playing great football and some money to invest is catching players’ imagination. What’s not to be optimistic about?
