How many
of those guys do you think would be willing to re-invest in the clubs transfer fund, how many do you think would want to recouparate their money and how many would want to sack the man in charge... I remind you
of Usmanov who promised millions in transfer money to Arsenal, but its not his call to make... till the board votes unanimously on the
issue or one invididual buys
out the other board members for all the controlling shares... we are limited to how much we can
spend because its not one persons money its all
of theirs.
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...
its not simply the case
of we want this guy so he will come, there is the
issue of intrest on the players behalf, we may want the player be he may not want to leave and then the one key factor money... See we have money to go
out and
spend but unlike the dumbasses that consider
spending near enough # 60 million on Fabian Delph and Raheem sterling as a good investment..

Spitzer took
issue with Cuomo's strategy
of putting health care players with a vested interest in the Medicaid debate — namely GNYHA and SEIU 1199 — onto the redesign team that hashed

Two
issues I can think

State lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday in Albany appeared close to striking a deal on a $ 168 billion
spending plan for the coming fiscal year as policy - related
issues fell
out of the talks.
Three weeks to go before the budget is expected to pass in Albany and lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have not
spent much time publicly dwelling on ethics reform, a perennial
issue that is often the subject
of a hammered -
out compromise.
The Archbishop
of New York
spent much
of the past two days at the capitol, meeting with lawmakers and getting his message
out about the tax credit and other
issues.
While Percoco's trial played
out in New York City, Cuomo has
spent the last month emphasizing key

And people can call that spin if they like but the reality is that I think the public would

issues as complicated as whether to bomb Syria or not.»
«While the rest
of the country was debating the
issues of domestic violence, child abuse and the NFL, Cuomo
spent his campaign dollars photoshopping Astorino's son
out of a sport attack ad,» Hawkins noted.
Instead
of meeting with legislative leaders to hash
out health care
spending and possible new taxes, Cuomo has focused on
issues important to left - leaning Democrats in the state.
The
issue was, as it always is, the budget: a swollen $ 136 billion chimera that, $ 9.2 billion
out of balance, would require massive cuts to education and health care
spending and possible layoffs
of state workers, to say nothing
of some tax increases.
As Cuomo heads to D.C., word is
out that the White House is expected to
issue its supplemental
spending request for Sandy - related aid early this week, but it won't likely include all
of the $ 80 billion sought by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Bloomberg will likely
issue a plea for lawmakers to restore some
of NYC's $ 300 million in aid to localities Gov. Andrew Cuomo axed in his 2011 - 2012
spending plan and also ask for the repeal
of «last in, first
out» rule when it comes to laying off public school teachers, which he says the governor's cuts will force him to do if they're allowed to stand.
«I want to explain to people why we would be better off
out and we have only got a few months to do it so the less time we
spend on that sort
of thing the more time we have to talk about the
issues that matter to people.»
«The root cause
of the entire
issue is the tax - and -
spend culture
out of Albany that has created that burden on New Yorkers.»
Cuomo also would not rule
out separating the
issue of pension reform from the budget altogether, though he says it's a «vital part»
of his
spending plan.
Mr. Ravitch's financial plan would impose tough accounting standards on state budgets, allow the state to
issue $ 2 billion a year in bonds to help close budget gaps, and give the governor the power to make unilateral cuts when
spending and revenues fall
out of whack.
Instead
of meeting with legislative leaders to hash
out health care
spending and possibly new taxes, Cuomo has focused on
issues important to left - leaning Democrats in the state.
The mayor has so far been muted in his criticism
of the governor and his budget, declining to attack him in public, although he did
issue a statement calling the zeroing
out of NYC's revenue - sharing aid on top
of the education
spending cuts «unfair.»
