Arsenal gave him a new deal because they don’t want to lose him for free.
Gooners also need to accept that the “Hale End identity” of the club was during a period when we had to sell to stabilize our finances and producing our own talent was key to our success.
Now, we have the ability to target the world’s best players to improve our team. Of course, if your academy produces a player that can chat to the world’s best talents then you keep them. But I’ll be honest, there isn’t a single Hale Ender in our Academy/on loan that can chat to the world’s best talents apart from Nwaneri.
Selling talent is how a club becomes self sustainable. I’d love to sit here and say that we’re going to win the treble every season and that’s where our finances will come from to be a self sustaining club so we can keep every Hale End player, but that’s obviously not going to happen.
Nope. This was only true when they played counter attacking football starting with the Mourinho regime.
Everyone always brings up that they beat City, and I always have to repeat that when Spurs played decent attacking football under Pochettino, City slutted them out on the regular, with one exception being the UCL quarter final, the leg at Wembley. Edit: Which City nearly mounted a comeback anyways and lost out to away goals(if I remember correctly) + VAR intervention.
