“Join Another Club If You Can’t Handle The Noise” – Arteta Tells His Players

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has urged his players to join another club if they can’t handle the noise that comes with fighting for the EPL title. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, because everyone kept asking Arsenal football club to bring back the days of fighting for the biggest titles, he doesn’t understand why players will want to avoid the noise that comes with such a responsibility.

Arteta added that the bullets will keep coming whether he or his players like it or not.

His words, “You ask them the question: Do you want to be part of the noise? Or not? If not go and do something else.

Be part of a different club or do you want to be Arsenal? And everybody has been demanding for 10 years, 15 years that we need to go back there [fighting for the title] and now we are there, and now what? You don’t want noise?

Noise is part of it and the bullets are part of that and we try to deal with it in the right way and achieve what we are looking for.

We have to do what we have to do. I don’t think it is going to change for anybody. At the end you have to win the next match and if you do that, you are going to be in a much stronger position and that is the only thing we can control.

The percentage of time he [Ødegaard] has been available for us has been far from idea.

Again, he has been part of that journey in this year to deal with a lot of injuries and, with us having a lot of important players out like we have now, the team has done extremely well to maintain that level.

Injuries are the worst part of our profession when a player has a big sequence of events and I understand how Martin wants to be involved with the team, it is tough.”

WOW.
