I don't want this to sound or be treated as alarmist or that I am FURIOUS about Guendouzi going because I think we can lay his issues pretty squarely at his feet but I think there will and should be a lot of focus on what happens with the likes of Martinelli and Saliba.
The job of Arsenal manager, in my view, is about working with slightly misshapen or even broken young talents and building them back up. The perfect, unbroken ones that don't have bones and blisters are not available to Arsenal.
The first half of Wenger's reign was built on the back of "compromised goods" like Vieira, Henry, even Overmars. Wenger gambled on Anelka and van Persie despite reported attitude problems. That's a massive part of the remit, coaching up. Arteta has to show that he can do it.
Even a half engaged ownership would have working with Martinelli and especially Saliba as a KPI. Along the lines of "this is who we have invested in, if you can't work with it you can't keep your job."
And I'm not saying Arteta can't or won't do it yet. He has worked with Saka and ESR just fine- but what happens with Martinelli and Saliba in particular I think is crucial. It's not straightforward but that's the job.
But I do think a fascinating subplot next season is the potential tension between the short term and long term. An uneven start and Arteta knows his job is on the line, yet Arsenal need to rebuild and one of the few things they have going for them is a core of talented youngsters

Today, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability released the bodycam footage of CPD officer Eric Stillman as he shot 13 year-old Adam Toledo, after the latter and Ruben Roman ran away from police who were responding to the area for a report of gunfire.
After informing myself on the subject, I can say that Stillman made the wrong call, at the wrong time. But that doesn't mean his actions were completely out of left field.
Let's pretend you're a cop for a minute. You're called in to aid in the search of two individuals who have reportedly used firearms. After finding the two, you chase after them. Guess what: you're chasing someone with a gun and you reach a narrow street. Here, he stops suddenly, what will come to your mind? Do you wait until he presumably uses the same gun he used to fire earlier? Do you shoot a warning shot? Or do you freak out? There's a fine line these policemen have to walk when in this type of situation, and it's evident that he completely crossed that line in a moment of fight or flight.
What Officer Stillman did was completely justified when you consider the situation, but at the end of the day, I believe he shouldn't be prosecuted for, ya know, doing his job. And besides, if you watched the entire footage, it's evident that he was regretful. He isn't a racist or an abuser of his power, he's just a cop who made the wrong call at the wrong time, yet he did it on completely justified grounds.

Setting the ground work—:
>***“As a member of the Board of Directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, William Rockefeller*** [Co-Founder of Standard Oil] had long ago struck up a warm friendship with James Stillman, the President of the National City Bank. The latter, stirred at all he learned of the efficiency of the Standard Oil management [Standard Oil Trust], and of its hierarchic and centralized government, so much like that of the Roman Catholic Church, modeled his own bank after it.”

From who and how?
Excerpt—:
>“John D. Rockefeller […] in 1882 he framed the great organization known as the Standard Oil Trust. The creation of that Trust put the coping-stone to his achievements. It gave him a leverage for administration and execution unknown before in the commercial history of the world. Rockefeller had, indeed, framed a commercial organization similar in many respects to the great organization founded by Ignatius Loyola, the Catholic Order of the Jesuits. […] There is a strange analogy between the Rockefeller organization and that of the Jesuits. The objects aimed at […] machinery of both is singularly alike. John D. Rockefeller is the General, the Czar, the Dictator of the Standard Oil Trust. He has his Supreme Council. They are not called Assistants to the General, but Trustees.”
—Silas Hubbard; ‘John D. Rockefeller and His Career,’ Ch. 25: ‘Formation of Standard Trust,’ pp. 108, 110, (New York: 1904)

>*“The oil regions were conquered and its people were employees or slaves of Rockefeller. The latter now turned his attention to the further consolidating of the great organization through which he had achieved so much.
