Arteta Remembrance Thread

[AdamTheGreatOneB]

It was jumping ship, mate. Cahill, Jags and Baines did not try to force through moves when the potential arrived, Arteta let everyone down.

Completely disagree. He gave us 6 years and now deserves his chance, his last chance, at the Champions League. I'm gutted but can understand his decision.

No, Everton let him down. He's been with us for 6 years, through the peak of his career and has never once complained about our average position in the table and complete lack of trophies. He was going to be sold whether he wanted to go or not if the price had been high enough, so why should he have stayed ?

You can't expect these top class players to stay with us when the best we can offer them is a top half finish. This is the real world, not a little boys dream. These players only have one career, one chance to make an impact on football, and Arteta's chance to do that was quickly running out.

He never once asked for a move, until it became obvious that Arsenal were actively interested and that the club were willing to fob him off anyway.

Pack it in you melt.

Stop thinking small time, like Arteta is great for walking out at the last minute, giving us no time to sign a replacement, I expected better.

You're right, it's Arteta's fault that we sold him on the transfer deadline day with 30 minutes left, not Everton's.

All these people berating Arteta are pathetic, they sound like immature little boys.

He can only go when the bid is tabled. he can't leave 3 days earlyer is there's no bid

He had every right and reason to go. Considering the service he's given us over 6 years, and all of the good memories, you'd be mad to knock him tbh.

You honestly think we would have bought somebody with the money?

You poor misguided fool.

We had bids in early for Beckford and Yakubu, our Manager secured 2 loan signings, thats roughly around 24m the Club has brought in since January, plus the savings on the wage bill.

And yet, we wont spend zilch in January and then we will sell another first team player in the Summer to fund more Loan deals.

Arteta was a great player for us. Not a legend, but a great player.

I only hope that he remembers we (the club and fans) have done as much for him as he has for us. He never truly recovered from that injury that ended his best season at Everton. In 2008-2009 he was better than the likes of Nasri and Ashley Young are at the moment. He was class, and if he hadn't been injured, I reckon we'd of won the cup that year.

Bye Mikey, good luck. Remember Everton, and all we've done for resurrecting your career. I won't forget the first free kick you scored at Crystal Pallace, or the ones against Villareal and Blackburn. The goals agains Fiorentina and Bolton, and the way you and Peanutts swapped wings.

That was crazy **** like.

He told Moyes he wants to go, knowing full well we couldn't replace him, no matter the situation. It was right at the last minute as well. Why did he not leave when he had the chance at the start of last summer? He's been tainted in my eyes. I'll get off my high horse and admit this is a matter of mixed opinions.

 

[chicoazul]

Bit disappointed he pulled that on deadline day to be honest.

We wouldnt and couldnt replace him for 10m.

But whatever, you judge him the Judas, its what Bill wants.

Only after the Arsenal bids had come in. At which he turned them down at first.

You can only sell palyers what other clubs want. Like Yobo if no one bids for him you cant sell him. Same with Arteta he only said he wanted to leave AFTER the bid came in
