Nobody couldn't have done better

[nightgoat]

Arsenal's next challenge is to win the Premier League or Champions League again, and Gazidis believes such success is in the horizon, with Petr Cech joining Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil as top-quality additions to the squad in recent seasons.

Nope. That's the 'what our opponents fans are saying about us' thread you want

Indeed, I may have had a small hand in that.

This isn't the whole article that was in the paper today and it misses out an important quote which the Arsenal CEO says we cannot compete with Chelsea and Manchester City financially so we need to be smarter.

And while it may be hard to admit, this is exactly the approach we need to take and it seems like we are finally taking in the recruitment of better value young hungry players that we can coach and develop. It may take time and we may need to wait to see the fruits of our labour but hopefully this new strategy at Spurs and with the new Stadium on the way will really help us as it is now starting to have helped A***nal.

Arsenal went nine years without a trophy under Wenger before winning back-to-back FA Cups, but the drought coincided with a period of financial restrictions imposed by the move to Emirates Stadium.

"It is difficult to imagine anybody else could have done it as well as Arsene," Gazidis said when asked whether Wenger was the right man to oversee the transitional period.

"Arsene has had tremendous support from the board and in return Arsene has really put the club first and made sure we progressed through that period and come out of it strongly.

"I joke that we are developing our training ground and one of the things we are doing is putting a cryo-chamber in there and if we put Arsene in there we can preserve him for a little longer.

"But he is in great shape - fit, enthusiastic, as hungry as ever and ambitious as ever, and he can see what is happening with this squad and he is very excited about the direction of travel so we aren't thinking at all about changes.

"Of course long-term you have to have the right infrastructures in place and a lot of work is going into that with Arsene's support and involvement as he knows at some point - and I hope that will be far down the road - he will step aside and someone will step into his large shoes."

"We always have to do things better than our competitors, that is our challenge," the Gunners chief executive told Fox Sports Asia.

"But there is a real belief we can win the Premier League and compete to win major trophies in the next few years."
