When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.

At some clubs success is accidental. At Arsenal it is compulsory.

I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.

I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident?

I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.
