The Official Arsenal Thread - Part 2

Quite surprised by this. Ornstein mentioned in the summer that Arteta was being given/looking to take more power over the running of the club. I wonder was there a power struggle going on behind the scenes. I don’t think this is good news for Arsenal.
Yeah, this one has come out of the blue. Not sure what it means in the long term, if there was a power struggle going on then it could even be a positive but hard to tell yet.

The clubs 'resurgence'?

One FA Cup five seasons ago.

Lol, Lolpool 'rivalry' with City levels of delusion.

Yeah I run the Twitter account for the daily fuckin mail. Busted!!

Arsenal’s “project” started 5 years ago and the club was in a desperate state.

Edu/Arteta were tasked with a huge clearout and rebuild.

Improvement to the squad year on year since then has been pretty clear backed by huge investment from the owners.

Because the points graph has been upward the last 3 seasons Arsenal fans would have expected it to continue and that 90+ points would be a realistic target this season.

The rocky start to this season is the first major blip. Expectation are obviously higher now.

Edu walking at this stage is odd and it’s worthy of discussion.
 
Let's play Edu exit bingo

(a) Generic "personal reasons"
(b) He's been tapped up for a bigger job (...less likely as Santi Solari + Deco seem pretty safe in their roles at the big 2 in Spain)
(c) He's had a bust-up because the club wouldn't sanction the spend he wants
(d) He's been caught bending it into Arteta's missus
(e) Football-related disagreement with Arteta on the direction of the club
(f) He's still miffed about being overlooked as a candidate to be Vinai's successor

I'm going for (a) or (f)
