23:30 Adams right he was brought in as a 3rd keeper and sold for profit a year later, not a bad signing at all

[@Kiluei]

Trossard on ''Does the job'' is silly. He's a perfect signing because he does exactly what they wanted from him. Being the perfect 12th man. He was bought to replace Martinelli when injured or when Martinelli gets rest. He also is useful on the 9. Nobody expected him to be a starter. While he's given them performances worthy of being a starter. That's a perfect signing. And Jorginho does the exact same thing. He does the job when he's needed. He also wasn't intended to be a part of the starting 11. The ''main'' midfield is often Havertz, Rice, Odegaard. Or Rice, Partey, Odegaard. Joriginho is another 12th man that does the job whenever he plays.

I don't like Arsenal as much as the next guy but at least remove your bias when talking about something like this. It's hard to watch at times because you just come across as knowing absolutely nothing about football when I think it's more just a case of being so blinded by your bias that you can't look at anything objectively. So many of these are such bad, bad shouts. Also, the constant mention of "he's signed a lot of players" from Rory of all people is mental. Like just for context, Arsenal have spent less and signed less players since Arteta took over than Chelsea have since Todd bought Chelsea a year and a half ago. Give it a rest Tory lad.

[@Kiluei]

I'm a neutral towards English football. And the thing that bothers me about these 3 and a lot of YT pundits in general, is how terrible their arguments are. They will sometimes base their entire opinion on a player on a single performance or a single season. Also with the way they cover the PL season. Liverpool can win 6 matches in a row convincingly, have 1 bad away game and draw that match and their titles will be ''Liverpool drops out of the PL title race?!?!?!'' and they'll completely wreck them. While the week after, literally 1 week after. They'll have win in the CL convincingly and won 4-0 at home convincingly in the PL and their titles will be ''Liverpool is back in the PL title race!!!'' There's little nuance. Everything is an extreme. Like the way they were talking about certain players here. I genuinely dislike Zinchenko and think he's overhyped. But he's surely not in the Big Mistake tier. I think he's weak defensively, often overcomplicates it when going forward and is mentally a weak point in the squad. BUT he's also had a bunch of good games and was a part of the great streak Arsenal had last season. He's done a decent enough job.

[@sopeafuwape3980]

[@danlewis5977]

Most players Arteta has signed has had some reasoning behind it, He wanted a left footed CB so he got Mari, He wanted a back up GK so he got Turner, A creative midfielder that can cover positions so he got Vieira, a versatile RB so he got White and Tomi. The bias just shines through from them and blinds them from making a neutral decision. Arteta also inherited a squad that couldn't play how he wanted so why would he not sign a lot of players to get them to where he wants them and we were also finishing 8th at the time so the top players wouldn't come hence the lesser signings to help get us back into contention for the bigger names

I think the overall quality of the signings improved once Raul Sanllehi left the club, it was his strategy to work with agents and try to find "great deals" rather than to look at how players would fit into the squad. Sanllehi's structure was that he takes care of signings and Arteta works with what he is given, there was a massive disconnect. The structure now has Edu making signings but very much in partnership with Arteta. You can argue Sanllehi only was responsible for two signings that really worked out for us... William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli and Martinelli was apparently due to all the work and influence of Edu rather than Sanllehi.

Your list is infinitely better than theirs, but my tweaks would be: Perfect: Rice, Gabriel, Odegaard, White, Partey, Trossard Does (or Did) The Job: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Jorginho, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Ceballos, Havertz, Jesus Jury's Out: Timber, Raya, Fabio Vieira, Turner Big Mistake: Mari, Cedric, Willian, Lokonga, Nuno Tavares Reasoning: Lokonga and Tavares just didn't work out, basically immediately, so big mistake for me. Havertz (now 2 weeks after your post) is 10 goal contributions and is doing the job. Jesus, I think does the job, brings lots of players in and works super hard, but I think most of us want a 25-30 goal per season striker fed by Rice and Odegaard. Partey, I think is perfect, he's just regularly injured. Coming to the end of his time with us I'd imagine, I'd look to replace with Douglas Luiz, maybe. Trossard as perfect because he gets so many clutch goals for us and for so cheap, he's just brilliant!

[@matthewmillington-king1529]

@danhodson7187 Douglas Luiz also my number 1 replacement. We should've gone harder summer 2022 when he only had a year left. £25m late bid was never enough. Villa will understandably want 2-3 times that now.

[@danhodson7187]

@@matthewmillington-king1529 100% mate. They will look at us spending £100mil on Rice and Chelsea spending £100mil on Caicedo and believe (probably rightly) that they can expect the same for him. I can only assume is low-balling for him in 2022 was for FFP budgetary reasons. If they really believe he’s worth having and could afford then I think they would’ve done it. Maybe Zubamendi is the new budget friendly replacement?

I stopped listening to what Buvey said after he said Peter Crouch deserves to be in the Prem hall of fame over Matt Le Tissier

[@tomstrainsandbuses6611]

I love these 3. Going in on Jorgehino and fabio viera was harsh. Adam I appreciate you trying to get Havertz up from the bottom category

[@RomeDCarlo]

Jesus and Zinchenko were great signings considering we signed them without having Champions League football, we should be attracting better players going forward

[@1972dsrai]

Jesus has been a great signing for them.

[@b_hav_6365]

Even with Partey being injured, in the game vs City, he lobbed a perfect ball onto Tomiyasu during the buildup to the goal.

[@karanbadami]

Arteta has literally built the second most valuable team in the world! They are talking about Arteta’s signings like they are Ten Hag’s

[@SS-lx7ps]

There should be a 'gross misconduct' section for Havertz. It's not a mistake if you can clearly see he was abysmal for his former club for 3 years.

[@Kyarago]

But Havertz is brilliant for Arsenal. Not Arteta's problem that managers before him failed to utilize him correctly.

[@oluseguntinubu6439]

This is why there should be an Arsenal man in that room. You guys didn't know Arteta came in to a different structure? He didn't make most of those signings. He became a "Manager" much later.

[@andymore62]

Zinchenko as a huge mistake for 25M is nuts. Yea, he’s not a long term solution, but he was really good last season and was a part of their ascendancy.

[@elliott-nathaniellashley1491]

The Ramsdale situation is one I’m torn on. The suggestion that he was in bad form and was therefore dropped is a narrative that is false. And if you look at the metrics David Raya is actually a lot worse than Ramsdale ever was for Arsenal.

[@BarnseyBlade]

False, Raya has been excellent

[@reececoetzer6690]

Horrendous take from Rory on Vieira. Has the same G/A as Enzo this season and has started 20 games less. Has higher G/A per 90 than Hojlund, Jackson, Nkunku, Szoboszlai, and Darwin. He gets a goal or assist almost every single time he plays. He is just getting started. Injury didn't help this season. Is he the greatest player wesigned? No of course not. But Rory football IQ clearly -40 for this take. Also Jorgi and Zinny have been great for us. Maybe next time get an actual fan of the club on yeah? Adam being the voice of reason just proves this list was made out of bitterness (Rory ranking all ex-Chelsea players as failures lmao) and people who clearly don't watch Arsenal. Love the videos you make so thank you for that but it's not really fair not getting a fan of the club to have input. Maybe having one or two more categories might help in between the jurys out and bad and between jurys out and does the job.

[@dudiheadz]

As an Arsenal fan, I rate Rory for the objectivity on Ramsdale. The disrespect he gets is phenomenal how there's even a conversation around him being less than 'Does the Job' is beyond me. Totally feels like a case of judging a player's career on current form/situation. In my opinion, Ramsdale has been treated a bit unfairly by Arteta this season, because it really isn't like he's done anything wrong, not much more than Raya anyway. Honestly, I'd put their abilities so close to call, that honestly, I think it's Arteta's preference, and Ramsdale is looking worse off because of it.

[@Viborita95]

Jorginho out side of the mistake vs Spurs, he has been good for Arsenal. He had wonderful games like vs Liverpool, vs Newcastle @ James Park last season. For someone that only went for 12million. He does the job, same as Zinchenko.

[@TheCharcoalchicken]

Havertz, Jorginho, Zinchenko are all perfect singing catergory, Viera is in jury still out category Trossard and now Kiwior are in perfect signing category too I'd drop Partey to Jury's out as he gets injured too often

[@thamilselvaraju546]

Each have certain Arsenal players rent free in their head: Adam: Partey Rory: Fabio Viera, Jorginho & Kai Buvey: Ramsdale & Zinny

[@Harz604]

Ramsdale is a success. Look at what he did for arsenal. He played an integral part in helping elevate arsenal from 8th to title contender. How could someone who played as important a role as that be dismissed as a mistake. It’s like saying just because aubaumeyan left arsenal in such bad form and in such bad circumstance his signing was a mistake. No it wasn’t because of his achievements along the way.

[@thehaight68]

Zinny; Jorginho -> does the job Viera; Havertz (primarily b/c of price) -> jury’s still out

[@therealclp]

Jorginho has been a decent signing based on performances alone, and when you factor in the transfer fee and the damage it may have done to Chelsea’s dressing room, I think it was a good signing

[@EthanDeheus]

Rory, I love arsenal, Havertz is my favorite player for Arsenal. I’m in love with that man.

[@ryanhickman3335]

Look at klopps first signings. Some signing early on are stop gap signings. They have to be made

[@SopranoLFC]

difference is klopp was signing players to get europa league and top 4 with a much more limited budget. Arteta is signing players to supposedly win the league (Ramsdale, Raya, Jorginho, Trossard, Zincehnko etc)

[@SopranoLFC]

not to even mention the big 70 mil german elephant in the room who is the highest paid player at the club

[@ryanhickman3335]

@@SopranoLFC I'm talking about early arteta signings. I think they were too harsh

[@bahriboy]

FYI Gabriel is not his or Edu's signing. It was Francis Cagigao's. Also Gabriel has improved because he is next to Saliba.

Guys please hire a graphic designer/editor and create a visual graphic board embedded in the video so we can properly follow along when you categorize and/or rank football related things.

[@EditsbyM]

that Jorginho bit hasn't aged well.

[@ThePrinceOrtmayer]

Agree with most but imo Trossard is top tier (he was bought for squad depth rather than first team) and arguably Arteta's best signing even ahead of Rice and Odegaard. Stick Jorginho in does the job, Havertz and Lokonga in jury's out.

[@danhodson7187]

Their take on Jorginho is absolutely mental!
