Mikel Arteta didn't spend €526m or €416m in his first season at Arsenal unlike Enzo Maresca and Xabi Alonso.
It took him FIVE(5)YEARS to reach that level of investment.
Enzo Maresca's first summer:
🆗 Jeremy Monga — €11.7m
🆗 Enzo — €145m
🆗 Gerónimo Rulli — €3.5m
🆗 Iliman Ndiaye — €70m
🆗 Pierce Charles — €3.5m
🆗 Ayyoub Bouaddi — €95m
🆗 Allan — €37.5m
🆗 Elliot Anderson — €135m
🆗 Mathys Detourbet — €25m
Total: €526m
Xabi Alonso's first summer:
🆗 Valentin Barco — €40m
🆗 Danny Welbeck — €5.85m
🆗 Morgan Rogers — €138m
🆗 Jordan Henderson — Free
🆗 Geovany Quenda — €50m
🆗 Emiliano Martínez — €8.8m
🆗 Maxence Lacroix — €60m
🆗 Dastan Satpaev — €2.4m
🆗 Emmanuel Emegha — €25m
🆗 Pep Chavarria — £21m
🆗 Marco Palestra — €57m
🆗 Alves Denner — €10m
Total: €416.05m
Arteta's first summer:
🆗 Thomas Partey — €50m
🆗 Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson — Free
🆗 Gabriel Magalhães — €26m
🆗 Dani Ceballos — Loan
🆗 Willian — Free
Total: €76m
The difference is clear: Maresca and Alonso got the players they wanted and massive financial backing from day one. Arteta inherited an Arsenal side that wasn't competing for the title and had a much bigger rebuild to complete.
So, if Maresca and Alonso finish this season without a single trophy after spending €526m and €416m respectively, can we call it a failure?

It was a proud and emotional day for Rema Namakula as she showed off the beautiful home she now shares with her husband in Kyaliwajala. Guests got the surprise during the 5th birthday celebration of her daughter, Aaliyah Sebunya, in Kira, Wakiso District, when they saw the fully furnished mansion.
Her journey to this point has not been easy. After parting ways with singer Eddy Kenzo, Rema settled down with Dr. Hamza Sebunya in November 2019. Back then, Hamza was staying in a small rented two-room house, and the two kept shifting from one rented house to another.
Through patience and hard work, the couple managed to save, buy land in Kyaliwajala, and build slowly over the years. They have now finished the house and settled in with their children.

Why is there such focus on how many goals Arsenal have scored? It's higher than most of the league.
5 teams have scored more than Arsenal's 15 (Brighton 26, Man City 21, Chelsea 19, Bournemouth 16, Brentford 16).
Arsenal have the 2nd highest goal difference in the Prem behind Brighton.
The story should be why do Man Utd have a -5 goal difference, having shipped 19 goals, after 10 games of football. They're in the relegation zone.

It is obvious to anyone paying attention that Arsenal are managing the physical load of the team carefully and the handbrakes will come off in the second half of the season.

Calling the eight years of Pep Guardiola's reign the “City/Liverpool era” confuses a great rivalry with shared dominance. City won six league titles in eight seasons. Klopp’s Liverpool won one and finished second twice. It was City’s era, with Liverpool producing some exceptional challenges and not two clubs consistently sharing the top two.
That doesn’t diminish Klopp. His Liverpool side reached incredible heights and deserves its respect. But Arteta deserves the same fairness: three consecutive second-place finishes followed by a league title is a sustained run that shouldn’t be dismissed because someone prefers Liverpool’s peak.
You can argue Klopp’s best team was stronger without treating Arteta’s achievements as less legitimate. Fewer points don’t make a title worth less. Respect Klopp’s peaks. Respect Arteta’s consistency. One manager’s legacy doesn’t need protecting at the expense of another’s.

The Arteta - Carrick comparison needs to be put into proper context because the circumstances surrounding their appointments were very different.
Look at the players both managers had in their first games.
Arteta's first Arsenal starting XI against Bournemouth (2019):
Bernd Leno, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, David Luiz, Sokratis, Bukayo Saka, Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka, Reiss Nelson, Mesut Özil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
Carrick's first Manchester United starting XI against Manchester City (2026):
Senne Lammens, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu and Bryan Mbeumo.
Now look at the difference in the squads and the circumstances surrounding both appointments.
When Arteta took over, Arsenal were struggling and had a considerably weaker squad. He came in midway through the season and still managed to win the FA Cup.
Carrick, meanwhile, inherited a Manchester United squad with considerably more established quality and experience.
And let's not forget something else: Arteta was never in a relegation battle, even at Arsenal's lowest point during that period. Things were bad, but the situation was nowhere near that desperate.
This isn't about discrediting Carrick or suggesting he cannot succeed. It's about being fair when making comparisons.
You cannot compare two managers simply because they took over struggling clubs. You have to consider the players they inherited, the state of the clubs and the circumstances surrounding their appointments.

Rice said it took him a year to fully understand what Arteta demands of him.
Imagine Norgaard spending a season and not fully grasping what is wanted of him for like six or seven months.
It takes time and it’s why certain players play. They interpret what the manager wants better.
This was on Rice’s feature on GQ.
