 The Harper government's decision last
year to write off every penny of the auto aid
and thus build it all into last
year's deficit calculation (which I questioned at the time as curious
and even misleading) has already been proven wrong. Since the money was already «written off» by Ottawa as a loss (on grounds that they had little confidence it would be repaid — contradicting their own assurances at the same time that it was an «
investment,» not a bail -
out), any repayment will come as a gain that can be recorded
in the budget on the revenue side. Jim Flaherty has learned from past Finance Ministers (especially Paul Martin) that it's always politically better to make the budget situation look worse than it is (even when the bottom has fallen
out of the balance), thus positioning yourself to triumphantly announce «surprising good news» (due, no doubt, to «careful fiscal management») down the road. The auto package could thus generate as much as $ 10 billion
in «surprising good news» for Ottawa
in the
years to come (depending on the ultimate worth of the public equity share).

which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club
and country
in recent
years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes
and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went
and got Suarez, even though they had Messi
and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another
in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical
in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud
and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all
in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts
in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet
and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread
out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund
and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few
years ago... did no one
in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an
investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is
in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB
and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis...
in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but
in reality we have only 1 option with any real future
and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for
years because he
and his father were a little too involved on social media
and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same
and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest
in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill
and / or youth worthy of our time
and / or
investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz
and loan
out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie
in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club
and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant
and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward
and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel
and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players
and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious
years before
and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess
and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad
and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely
in the hands of Wenger
and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez
and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a
year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size
and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott
and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship
and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott
and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)...
in their places we need to bring
in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many
years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices
and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board
and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger,
and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front
and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically
in the last 15
years, which has left a largely complacent
and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more
and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several
years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

... i believe the kind of
investment that arsenal puts on the team is not proportional to the profit thats gained by the club
and thats why you will hear
year in year out how our returns eclipsed all the other teams but when it comes to investing
in the team that brings these profits, its the other way round... what is the use of having money just laying
in the bank idle while we can make better use of it by investing well on it???... i honestly don't believe that we will lift another major trophy with mr arsene as our manager... i just don't see it
and if you disagree then care to tell me how
It is rather unfortunate that us fans suffer from not winning any major trophy over the years.What Leicester did was just one off, it will not happen for the next few decades.Football is all about
investment, to win u have to invest well with some luck.Everton did look at where they are now.We are not at the level of Real, Barca Manu u name them.The big clubs invest heavily
and still get some return on their
investment.Arsenal will not spend like city or chelsea or PSG.We will go down like Leeds.Let us be honest with ourselves, if u were the owner of this club u will never sack Wenger.He brings u lot of money
year in year out.
