An Arsenal legend charges at Edu: “Sometimes he goes overboard on Arteta …”

Paul Merson is an Arsenal legend and after the ‘gunner’ defeat against Brentford (2-0) in the league premiere he has criticized in ‘Sky Sports’ the efforts of Edu Gaspar, the club’s sports director, and his weak posture to the time to undertake signings.

“It’s worrying. You still think: What are they doing? ‘ Edu has arrived and his efforts have been vague, weak. If I’m honest, it has been like: Oh, let’s sign Willian for free, let’s sign David Luiz who is cheap, “he began. Merson especially criticized Edu, Edu’s technical director after making a handful of free transfers and called the signings of William and David Luiz (now without a team) as “quick fixes.”

After this fierce criticism, Merson did break a spear in favor of Mikel Arteta: “I remember that years ago, coaches were consulted on transfer issues. Sometimes I think that Arteta goes too far. I’m not sure how much he can have a say in all of this. “ It should be noted that the Gunners have been one of the most active teams of the summer, with reinforcements from Lokonga, Nuno Tavares, Ben White and upcoming arrivals from Odegaard and Ramsdale.
