Arsenal football club are in a sport of bother right now. The formerly prestigious team, sit 20th in the Premier League table after three games and zero points. They are yet to score a goal, and their 5-0 humiliation at the hands of Manchester City was the breaking point for many.
While no one expects the club to suddenly win the Premier League crown, challenging for the top 6 remains a necessity after two disappointing 8th place finishes in the past two seasons. As a result, with the club topping the European charts for the most amount of money spent in the transfer window, people expect better.
The backlash got so bad, that Arsenal’s sporting director Eduardo Gaspar aka Edu, sat down in an interview with Sky Sports.

“I understand the fans, I understand the reasons and I accept that. To create a good foundation, you need the time,” Edu said to which the interviewer replied saying people don’t get time in football.
“I know, I know, but that’s why you make some kinds of decisions. Sometimes you have to make some decisions, not to look into the future. We believe in our squad now, but we believe our squad will be even stronger in the future, not in the short period,” Edu said.
Arsenal and its 149 million euro transfer window
Arsenal’s sporting director explained how he needs to focus on the long term future of the club. Edu explained that if they just signed people based on the positions that they needed to fill, they would miss out on several players. Fans wouldn’t have been happy with the transfer business, but things aren’t very different right now.
