To achieve great things you have first to believe it.
Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.
Messi is a Playstation.
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
Spare me the articles about how nice Shawcross is because that was a horrendous tackle. People say we don't fancy the physical side of it, but this is the result. If you see a player getting injured like that, it's not acceptable.
If you want to win a horse race, you need your horse to be 100%.
Messi's like a PlayStation. He can take advantage of every mistake we make. He made the impossible possible. He has something exceptional. He has six or seven years in front of him, touchwood that nothing happens to him, and he can reach unbelievable levels.
We didn't think he would play on Sunday because he was suspended - that makes me think he has all the qualities to join Arsenal!
If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.
My target is to make the players as rich as possible within the financial constraints of the club. My target is not to give them less money. I'm happy to make them rich.
