We've spent 14 days of the transfer window trying to negotiate peanuts for a player that MAY but equally MAY NOT be the next midfield beast we
need meanwhile Man City have brought
in Bony who is a player that we could have done with and probably could have got before he
upped his
value with Swansea, I hear people on here talking about Wanyama and we could have got him prior to his move to Southampton, there's talk of Dybala who will undoubtedly
go to either Man united or cheski
in the summer, we are missing a trick with virtually every player that is strengthening our opposition and we sit and quibble about # half a million for some unknown child from Warsaw.
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once
in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely
in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things
go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things
go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike...
in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who
valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema
up front, the headless chickens
in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set -
up man goals
need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers...
in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be
in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
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...
We
need to make sure that we are
in control over the things that affects us.Anytime there is flood and people loose their life, most of the blame
goes to sitting presidents.I am not saying that the central government does not have responsibility to ensure that enabling environment is created.They have a great work to do but as citizens what is our quota?When you move around Accra, sometimes i becomes angry within myself because i am
in doubt as to whether our sanitation laws exit.People because of the tax they claim they pay waits for zoom lion workers to come and clean the choked gutters before our houses and shops either than that, it will remain like that.Is it modernity or civilization that has turned us to forget our traditional
values or duties of ensuring that our environments is clean?Everybody
in our Ghanaian setting knows the responsibility of men and women
in making sure that our environments are clean not waiting for flood to occur and we start blaming sitting presidents.To the media, though your responsibility is to keep governments on it toes, you equally have a mandate
in educating the public of what we are expected to do as citizens
in other to ensure that our dear nation is a better ecosystem for all of us to live.The attention of the media should be shifted from making politicians popular to making us aware as citizens of our responsibilities.I sometimes get confused to hear journalists calling opponents to comment on issues concerning the sitting governments and the only thing that comes to my mind is what do the journalist want to hear from the political opponents?Nothing.They will end
up criticizing without giving an alternative.The media should rather resort
in questioning people directly to where the problems are coming from.Let us build our institutions.When it comes to energy issues.Citifm will call Hon.KT Hammond who was a deputy minister living who he worked under (His boss at that time) and I always become confused because what can we expect from him?nothing.
With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself
in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm
up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build
up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop
in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else
in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're
going to ease
up a little bit on it because I
need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you
go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just
going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole
in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything
in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like
in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves
in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well
in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find
in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine
in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either
in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person
in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will
go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set
in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then
go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong
value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]
For parents who
need convincing: Malcolm Gladwell wrote about the utilitarian
value in going to the «lesser» school — aka the big fish / small pond effect; your kid will do best at a college where they can be

Similarly, Newfound Research managing director Justin Sibears has warned
in more recent research that to the extent the huge run -
up in stock
values of recent years leads to modest investment returns

need to
go with an initial withdrawal rate of less than 4 %.
It also means you

And what's been happening over the last year or two is their house has
gone up in value so much that yes they can actually refinance or sell it, and as a result they don't

I understand not having the entirety of an emergency fund set

I think the key learnings from the economic tumble are that: 1) we all
need a diversified portfolio (and the closer we are to
needing the money, the safer investment vehicle you
need it to be invested
in) and 2) we shouldn't build our financial futures on expectations (like borrowing way too much for a house because we «know» it's
going to
go up in value.)
You can finance
up to 75 % of the
value of the home if

up to 85 %
in some cases through the FHA Program and you will be able to keep any proceeds of the loan that do not

You can do that by
going to a good retirement income calculator and plugging
in such information as your age, the
value of your retirement savings, how your savings is divvied
up among stocks, bonds and cash, the estimated monthly income you'll require and how long you think you'll
need that money to last.
Publishers expect us to essentially
go «all
in» — by committing our dollars
up front to an entire lineup of DLC, it's likely to make us feel like we
need to spend all our available multiplayer time

value out of the money we've already spent on the content.
While none of these have any real bearing on the core gameplay itself,
needing to have another

Since most companies will only

Personally, I'd rather keep the life insurance, use the cash
values to supplement my investments and / or use the cash
value to pay my income
in the years the stock market
goes down (like 2001, 2008, etc) so that I don't end
up worse off than when I began because at the end of the day that account can't lose its
value, I can't be sued for the
value of it, I don't
need to report it on my son's FAFSA form for college, AND if I pull money out of it for my son's school, the dividend still pays the same amount as if I hadn't drawn the money out
in the first place (fun fact: that last point isn't something that a northwestern policy does, but new york life and massmutual's contracts do).
This means that your insurance company will only help you pay for 70 % of the vehicle's
