And what did they win during that time.CAFCTrev said:Yikes, 12 years at Arse. Thats pretty impressive.
Yeah....another dud recruiter 🤭.1 -
He has good experience of recruiting talented players from overseas.. I would say, this is why he is here to advise on certain aspects of getting transfers over the line, and unearthing gems!1

I asked AI what he brought to the Arsenal.
He brought several specific assets and strategic contributions to the club:
1. Transfer and Contract Negotiation
De Facto Sporting Director: While Arsenal avoided the official title of "Director of Football" to maintain Arsène Wenger's supreme influence, Law effectively filled that role by handling the logistics of recruitment.
High-Profile Signings: He was a central figure in completing major deals, including the signing of Mesut Özil from Real Madrid in 2013 and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2018.
Buffer for Management: He served as a "buffer" between the management team and agents, managing the influx of players being offered to the club to allow Wenger to focus on coaching.
2. South American Expertise
Language Skills & Network: Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Law had deep ties to South and Central America from his time living in Brazil.
Scouting Project: He spearheaded a project to identify and recruit talent directly from South America, having previously assisted in the landmark signing of Gilberto Silva.
Strategic Partnerships: He was instrumental in establishing Arsenal’s partnership with the Spanish side Salamanca, which acted as a development hub for young Arsenal players on loan.
3. Financial Stewardship and Planning
"Prudent" Spending: During the financially constrained years following the move to the Emirates Stadium, Law operated under a "risk-reward" model,
treating the club’s money with high responsibility to avoid expensive mistakes that could jeopardize their financial stability.
Squad Construction: He coordinated with the Chief Executive (Ivan Gazidis) and the manager on long-term squad planning, ensuring all contracts complied with FA and FIFA regulations.

That’s put a stop to it…😉up_the_valley said:.0 -
Bit of a concern that he appears to have been at Arsenal over a period of relative mediocrity but as said, the post emirates belt tightening would have been a factor - all in all, his knowledge and contacts should be useful so should be a good thing1
