Why is it taking so long for us to get arteta done if he is coming.

Apparently he was close last time Stephen so I can't see the club teasing him about the job twice mate, I think the jobs his IF he wants it, and I think that's the hold up it's if Artetta wants us not the other way around .

I'm hearing he does want I t and josh as gone back to the USA as he is happy with the talks it's meant to be 5m a year on a 3 and a half year contract hope it's announced soon I'm happy about it a fresh approach I know a few ain't but I am I liked arteta as a player.

My own personal opinion is much depends on Peps intentions, if Pep is thinking of moving on then Artetta might fancy stepping into his job but if Pep plans on being around City a while longer yet then Artetta might want to prove himself at Arsenal while he has the chance.
It's a huge gamble for us but equally it's a massive gamble for him too.
If he sits tight at City he's the next king in waiting but if he comes to Arsenal and fails he would need to start from scratch again to build up his credibility at a much smaller club in the future.
If Pep is thinking of moving on in the next 18 months Artetta might well reject our advances anyway.
{Ed002's Note - It is not a contract issue but relates to the policy of the club. Most clubs have a policy regarding use of social media, what players say in interviews etc.. General contracts will refer to players being expected to follow club poicies etc.. In the bigger scheme it is unlikely to have a longer term impact on television rights or anything like that.}
