So was he the standout man for Arsenal?
Yeah, I think it's been a really impressive start from Arteta.
We have to remember this is...
This is a manager who had never managed a football team before.
Absolutely.
He was completely unknown, wasn't he, really, when he came in to take the reins at Arsenal.
How he would do in the role of the number one, as the boss.
But I think, yeah, almost straight away we've seen some really encouraging signs that the players are buying into what he's trying to get them to do.
And I guess, you know, getting these performances out of the young players and getting these performances out of the team in general has got the fans back on side, which was obviously a big issue in the final days of Emery, wasn't it?
OK, now Charlotte, obviously defence has been a long-standing problem for Arsenal, hasn't it?
They've made some moves in this January window to try and address that.
Pablo Mari has come in on loan till the end of the season from Flamengo.
They've got an option to buy him if all goes well.
And it's obviously deadline day morning here while we're recording, but it looks like Arsenal are edging closer to signing Cedric Suarez on loan from Southampton.
Are these the two guys that they need to solve their issues at the back or what will they add to this Arsenal team?
And it's a good deal.
Yeah, he's a player we're obviously familiar with.
But Charlotte Papamori is someone we've not seen so much of.
Obviously, he played in the Club World Cup final against Liverpool.
But what will he add just quickly?
