Former Manchester United defender, Paul Parker, has criticised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for allowing the talented striker Mika Biereth to leave the club, describing it as a colossal error given the current shortage of strikers at Arsenal. Speaking to SpilXperten, Parker mentioned that Biereth’s impressive performances for AS Monaco this season highlight the misjudgement in selling him, especially as Biereth has scored ten goals in seven Ligue 1 matches.
Parker labelled this decision as potentially the "mistake of the decade," especially given Biereth’s current red-hot form, including three hat-tricks in his last five games. Parker observed Biereth’s great finishing skills, something Arsenal lack, and noted the move to sell him generated minimal financial return. This highlights the need for better strategic planning at top clubs.
Key Takeaways:
- Biereth’s impressive form in France underscores Arsenal’s oversight in selling him.
- Parker criticises Arsenal’s decision, citing mediocre financial gains from the sale.
- Biereth’s goal-scoring capabilities are sorely missed by a struggling Arsenal squad.
