The former is at odds with the latter.

Are top shelf players identifying Arsenal as a place where they can go to win things? Is he tying down our prospects with contracts that incentivise performance or is he rewarding them with contracts that make them difficult to off-load if they don't pan out? Is he preparing for a future where other clubs are knocking on the door of the Top 4 or is he content with maintaining the status quo?

To be fair, he's maintaining a status quo with which the board and owner are beyond content.
