Playing for Manchester United is something that most people want and very few people do - but there is no harm in having a dream as long as you are realistic with it.
Previously people were treated anonymously particular on a drugs situation which is obviously highly emotive. They have been treated anonymously even after the verdict had been reached.
All I can do is assess the value from Manchester United perspective. Whatever Chelsea do, they may have a different criteria, and different financial assets.
There are a lot of lessons to be learned. We can all learn lessons.
The stadium expansion is currently at the feasibility stage and has to go through that.
Players aren't quite as mercenary as people make them out to be. Some of them are but some aren't.
Would we prefer to be lifting it? Of course we would. You can't look back, we have to look forward and say what are we going to do get it back next year.
Arsenal are a great team. But we lifted the trophy eight times in 11 years.

We knew that his retirement would come one day and we both have been planning for it by ensuring the quality of the squad

We have a very strong balance sheet. We are very comfortable we are generating cash. We can compete successfully in the transfer market.
