Arsenal plans for Edu and Luis Campos revealed

Why Are Arsenal Looking to Hire Luis Campos?

It doesn’t matter how strong your recruitment drive may be, someone of Campos’ calibre is always a welcome addition. This man has proven himself to be a master of the transfer market, unearthing superb talent that almost inevitably move on for a considerable profit.

Taking a look at Arsenal’s recent history, in which the majority of players are overpaid for and then moved on for a loss (or nothing), Campos’ expertise becomes a no-brainer. Given the aforementioned report has changed, it could be that other similar options are being sought after.

However, somewhat more cynically, Mikel Arteta and Edu submitted their transfer plans to the board before the season concluded, thus having their targets in place before the madness of the summer ensued. Are they already struggling to acquire who they’re after?

Such inexperience across the decision-making section in north London, no matter how stubborn, should always welcome help. Especially such highly respected aid.

There could be a case of the team behind the summer’s activity admitting they’re in over their heads; that the task at hand is too great for them to handle. Edu wants cohesive action in locating, securing, convincing and tying down targets to contractually beneficial deals, the latter two of those points being boosted by Richard Garlick’s arrival.

But if the desired targets are slipping from their grasp, or if there is uncertainty anywhere, then it makes sense for Campos’ arrival to offer his insight. Whatever the case may be, bringing Campos in, even in an informal role, is valuable experience and knowledge this rookie team sorely needs.

If they’ve come to the conclusion they can’t run this operation efficiently on their own, then at least they’ve understood the need for assistance early into the window. Before it has actually opened, in fact.

Campos may seek to work elsewhere, he does have most of Europe on red alert, but if this can be settled in the Gunners’ favour in the ‘coming weeks’, then it’s a considerable boost to everything the club hopes to achieve this summer, and beyond.
