    Yeah, it would be regressive squad building IMO. The cons are obviously injury issues but the pros seem stacked with his buy in of the system, his work rate, aggression etc. We could realistically keep two forwards happy with 50+ games next season. It can't ever be CF/Son though, that should now...

    Because things change during a season, it's not linear, some players appear ok to start with and get worse, others might surprise you.

    Ange will have learnt more about this teams mentality in the last 10 games than the first 10 games. He seemed all in on Bissouma at the start, I think that's probably changed. Deki, I'd imagine he loves the attitude and work rate but not the fit at RW. He might sense that Romero is now a...

    You've clearly not understood what I've said as that's a different narrative.

    Ange plays a certain way, he wants to play a certain way going forward, if you change that to accommodate certain players now how does he know who truly fits how he really wants to play going forwards, how does that help recruitment?

    Totally agree, he's fitted the system more times this season than other players, certainly more than Deki. Injury to new striker and then what? Son or unproven Veliz.

    Indeed, I think this is also why we should keep Richarlison as a rotation player if we get Europa League. Get two wingers and another Striker to go with Son, Richie and Johnson. That's some good depth for all comps. I like Kulu but it's becoming more and more awkward with him out wide.

    Because nothing is perfect. Its frustrating, but processes are, we're trying to impose a bold system so with that there will be bigger mistakes and bigger questions asked. Our season has almost been an exact repeat of last season, and the "second half" team I suspect is because it takes time...

    He was talking about needing 5/6 windows from the off, that's not a new thing, and I agree the midfield needs a revamp and look a bit lost etc. How about we back the coach and not let the players win again, because I'm bloody sick of us changing and then expecting different results with someone...

    Does that suggest he's lost the players in a general sense then, because that was your original point.

    We rallied against Arsenal and looked motivated against Liverpool towards the end. I don't think he's lost them, just some of the players aren't suited to the system or buying into it.

    And then Arteta finished 8th again the season after, with a summer window bringing his own players in, winning nothing. Was that progress?

    Someone on here a while ago suggested he'd make decent cover at fullback.
