simply for lack of trying.

It's difficult to blame Ozil
for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was
trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order
for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate
for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which
simply highlighted his
lacking defensive qualities and defenders who
lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead
of blaming Ozil, which is
simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes
of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge
of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat
of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most
of his antics were relatively harmless and
simply reflected a certain level
of immaturity that isn't uncommon
for someone thrust into the limelight at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished
for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not
try to rush the play with an ill - timed throw at certain points in the game when common sense suggested holding the ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring
lack of coaching time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly
for it... in the end, his services were wanted by several
of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive side
of the ball in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had in our squad since the arrival
of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and
for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though
even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead
of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial
for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his
lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display
for all to see... these are not the actions
of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions
of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room as players battled
for a position that shouldn't have been theirs
for the taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind
of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels... as
for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London
for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead
of continuing to
try to fix a coat with a broken zipper
simply move on and buy a new and better coat
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...

Good e-Reader met with South African - based Snapplify at the Frankfurt Book Fair to talk about some
of the issues and how they can be overcome, specifically in terms
of the
lack of news coming from markets that are leading their own innovations that work
for their cultures
of readers, rather than
trying to
simply recreate a US model abroad.
- the eight protagonists won't have similar stories to each other because the team wants players to enjoy different experiences - the other six protagonists will have jobs different from Orberic (Swordsman) and Primrose (Dancer)- Orberic and Primrose were chosen
for the demo because their starting points are closer to other party members - each protagonist will have different starting points, so there may be a gap in the progress difficulty - the team is
trying to even things out, but they don't want every character to have the same difficulty, as that would be boring - the demo has surpassed 1 million downloads worldwide - a demo was released because they thought
simply publishing screenshots and trailers wouldn't convey this game's fun factor - more than 80 %
of the overseas player base found the game interesting - there was one player who won against a high - leveled NPC in a Duel, and another who defeated all bar customers - the team had expected the former, they didn't expect the latter - the music was received very well, which comes from composer Yasunori Nishiki - overseas players complained
of hard - to - read text, because the UI was based on the Japanese version, which will be adjusted - the biggest complaints were about slow map movement, and the
lack of fast - travel - both
of these features have been implemented, with faster movement and fast - travel between cities - players also found the screen too dark, so devs are adding waypoints
for paths and also bigger roads - there will be an Event Skip feature, as well as the ability to freely watch events that have been already seen.
The events that follow are punctuated by a series
of dementia based psychological and mental breakdowns that occur so often, it really feels like Visceral was
simply trying to make up
for the
lack of these moments in the main campaign.
One last thought on leadership. When truly disruptive innovation collides with any market, historically the big boys don't survive. They are
lacking the bold leadership required to make major course corrections. The top ten most profitable law firms - 9
of which have no blogging presence to speak
of — will lose their position if they don't join the party. As Kevin O'keefe noted this week, anonymity online is a losing proposition, while others disagree. We aren't just talking about blogging though, it's the whole social media system - Legal Onramp, JDSupra, and even LinkedIN, Twitter, and Facebook. These are powerful tools, and real leaders will understand, like their younger counterparts, it is much more significant to harness the power
of fire, than to
simply try and stamp it out
for fear
of getting burned.
Where, perhaps, government in the past has been too blinkered, has been by
trying simply to squeeze more from the system
for the same cost (or less, when factoring in the
lack of inflationary increases) rather than addressing whether services are procured in the right way and properly understanding the drivers
for rising costs (the latter when their own research has shown that government is itself a driver through legislation, the growing number
of offences and the associated demand
for legal aid).
