winning doesn't come easy, it has its own
cost.

I think only barca real or Bayern can tempt those players away from leicester, they would give
at least a year to the club, but season after that they will move onto other club depending on their form next season.As for arsenal transfer i wouldn't want to listen to rumours as most of the times these rumours are just utter garbage.i want a certain rumour about Wolfsburg signing giroud to be true.Anyways if our idiotic manager has some sense left in him after an embarrassing season he should get a premium striker which the club needed for past 4 years.He need to put his ego aside and his old philosophy of waiting for players to develop.We need already established players in every department of our team.Penny pinching has
cost us just pay the damn money get the players.I get the feeling next season is going to be harder and we have less chance of
winning cause man city have had 2 seasons without premier league and guardiola is gonna bring more quality and hunger to that team.

gibbs played well and deserves a higher rating so does holding apart his mistake that
cost us a goal also i'm delighted for perez i've noticed on a technical level he is
not what you would called a typical arsenal player his first touch & control are
not the best he tends to lose a ball a bit too much and needs
at least 2 touches i could be wrong and may be it is because he is just back from injury or he was a bit nervous on his return, i know people will say that it doesn't really matter as long as he scores the reason why we bought him and they could be wright anyway great
win, performance and topping the group great, COYG!
Setting expectation is where the deception lays because
winning goal EPL trophies sets the bar
at champions league the following season and THAT
costs major major money with no real guarantee of success If Wenger goes expect a like minded or very junior weak willed manager to take over because the board won't be employing anyone who will want to change the way things are.

Arsenal fans may well argue that the Gunners and Arsene Wenger have
not been spending big money to

not argue that our squad
cost a lot more than that of Leicester.

not build a new stadium with their own money and now they rent a stadium, Chelsea have
won a few trophies and are just now starting to build a new stadium but the team and the new ground are all funded Abramovich's money and
not the club's.
The problem with Giroud is
not the amount of goals he scores, it is those that he misses.We create so many goal scoring opportunities but convert so few, and that is why we need a more clinical finisher.Against Monaco
at home, Giroud missed FIVE glorious opportunities to score and
cost us a spot in the quarters.Against Man utd away, he missed 3 wonderful opportunities to
win us the game.We need someone who can finish off the many chances we create, simple as that
Sanchez is a quality player, but if he is
not getting what he wants negative vibes begin to develop in the squad, we do
not want that
at the start of the season, because that will be detrimental to any hopes of
winning anything and i think it also
cost arsenal a top four finish, so all the contract rebels i would sell for the highest price i can get and move urgently for replacement.
but to leave where City NOOOO no way i would like to see the 70M in the pocket of Stan but
at what
cost, yes i know i said we wont
win the EPL but we can
not go that low again so soon after RVP» rat
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...
please Mr are you being sentimental or being factful, what money was given to mourinho to spend
at his former teams like Porto and inter Milan... he even
won the champions league, League and the league cup with this lowly
cost team... like it or
not mourinho is a serial winner..
Gallas claimed that Mourinho has a distinct fight to
win at all
costs, while having failed to
win a single trophy in his time under the French boss, insisted that the same hunger is
not found in Wenger, and this is valid reasoning in his opinion to warrant change.
Not sure about his managerial skills but Wenger definitely has lost that passion to
win at all
costs, he is too subdued whenever it matters.
We don't spend enough, and instead maintain a strategy to compete,
not to
win at all
costs.
At the right
cost, though, they could use a Yu Darvish to pair with Clayton Kershaw: The Dodgers have
won the NL West the last four years and haven't gotten past Game 6 of the NLCS in that time.
His whole philosophy of football is to play the beautiful game
at all
costs and if that leads to a
win, then that is a bonus, if
not, well we can try again next week and in the meantime blame the ref, injuries, missed chances, bad luck etc..
It might
not mean much in the corporate,
win at all
costs, atmosphere that is promoted in the EPL, but a huge reason for Arsenal's following in Asia, despite their lack of PL
wins is that culture / brand identity.
What i find very sad is that people still recognise Maradona is a footballing genius,!!!!!! CHEAT he will always be to me, say what you like, it was
win at any
cost, how that decision was allowed to stand i will never understand, also if your going to pick a top 10 in world football, how could we
not see Bobby Moore included, recognised by Pele as one of the greatest defenders he has ever faced, also no George Best!!!
Whether it be «that» horror game against Bayern Munich in the semi-final of the Champions League or a simple foul that shouldn't have happened, Gimenez's «
win at all
costs» attitude can manifest itself negatively in some of the silly decisions he makes.
OK so my view is this team is
not good enough because they have
not learned from all the seasons gones by continue to make the same mistakes every year the manager has
not address the weakness of the team either look
at the goal keeper issue one should have come in already why wait what there to think about almunia is
not good enough why try him again sell but no give him next season to
cost us 10 points i hope am wrong but If arsenal
win the league with this team i will eat my hat..............
I don't want to
win at any
cost.

What I am trying to explain is that Wenger is
not Fergie or Mourhenio, he is
not a gritty
win at all
cost type of manager.
While many Arsenal fans have been impressed with Sanchez's desire to
win at all
costs, ex-Gunner Charlie Nicholas was left less than pleased with the actions of the Chilean superstar and has gone on to state that his former side should consider selling the attacker if his attitude does
not improve.
Sadly, the longer they play football it seems the more the culture takes over and the more the instinct for self - preservation seems to take a back seat to the
win -
at - all -
costs, don't let your teammates, coach and community down, attitude.
A coach with a
win -
at - all -
costs attitude may encourage kids to play through injury and may
not foster good sportsmanship.
Today, competition is often seen as a bad word and associated with the
win -
at - all -
costs mentality that plagues youth sports — but that's
not what competition is really about.

2) Most European countries do
not see all out war with Russia (or anybody) as a viable strategy eg even if you spend enough to guarantee that you would
