Gazidis: We're Gunner be "prudent" in the market - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has said it is unlikely that the club
will be making any Andrey Arshavin-style summer signings, but has pledged his
financial support to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger should the Frenchman identify
any transfer targets he deems essential additions.
伊萬說夏天將不再會有像沙皇這樣的轉會

The north London outfit announced pre-tax half-yearly profits of ￡24.5
million up to November 30 on Thursday, with gate receipts from Emirates
Stadium as well as the property development on their former Highbury site
contributing to their increased turnover.
北倫敦球隊宣佈到去年11/30日止賺了很多錢(24.5M)

Of more interest to Arsenal fans will be the ramifications for their
potential punch in the summer transfer market however.
不過槍迷們關心的是這對夏季轉會的影響

Wenger broke with his time-honoured tradition of refusing to spend big by
securing the signature of Arshavin during the January transfer window, and
The Gunners have been continually linked with a big-money swoop for Sporting
defensive midfielder Miguel Veloso.
教授打破傳統
燒了一大筆錢砸到了沙皇
並且持續與後腰Miguel Veloso傳出誹聞

However, despite their slight increase in incomings Gazidis has stated the
Premier League outfit are unlikely to spend big again at the end of the
season, instead opting to continue placing their faith in the young stars
Wenger has been slowly integrating into his first team.
不過伊萬說儘管收入稱加了
但是球隊不可能再花大錢
而會堅守信仰
繼續迷戀正太
這群正太已經漸漸融入球隊

“Arsene is very focused on building one of the best young teams in the
world, and we’re in the middle of that process,” Gazidis told Arsenal TV
Online. “This is a team that is developing game by game, and month by month.
阿森納非常注重養成最強的正太隊伍
這是一個正太養成遊戲
我們透過一場一場的遊戲
重複一個月又一個月來培養正太

“When you look at the ages of the players that we’re putting out onto the
field and the level of performance that these young players are producing,
the next two or three years look very bright indeed.

“We will not, and Arsene will not, make purchases just to make a splash in
the newspapers. We’ll only buy and sign players that we think add something
that we don’t currently have. If Arsene believes there are players out there
that can help the squad, the board has always been behind him in that. But don
’t forget that we believe in the young players we already have.”
我們沒有要選立委
不會為了上報紙搏版面炒新聞來燒錢轉會
不要忘了我們已經有許多正太

Gazidis continued: “Our wage bill is very comparable to other top clubs. We
certainly believe we have a great stable of young players. When you look at
the ages of our players and realise the levels at which they’re competing
and what they’re accomplishing, I think the next two or three years look
very bright for the club.
看我們的年齡和表現
未來兩三年前途一片光明
(我們的工資和戰績留的住人 伊萬如此深信)

“But we will continue to be prudent. We’re not going to spend money in ways
that undermine the core stability of the club, and that means you’re
unlikely to see us breaking any international transfer fee records. We did
break one of our own in signing Andrey Arshavin.”
我們不會花錢破壞球隊的穩定
所以大家看不到任何打破紀錄的轉會
沙皇的轉會費會成為阿森納的障礙

With The Gunners currently in fifth place in the league and six points behind
fourth-placed Aston Villa there is the real possibility they could miss out
on Champions League qualification.
我們落後阿斯頓維拉6分
下賽季想去歐冠可能得門票當觀眾

It is an eventuality Gazidis is refusing to entertain however, and he is
confident that even if that scenario did unfold the club are well placed to
bear the financial repercussions.
就算發生這樣的意外
對俱樂部財政也不會有影響
反正我們不會花錢

“We’re still aiming for a place in the top four,” he said. “We have a
young group of player performing consistently and we’re going to have six
very important players coming back to the team over the course of the next
month or so.
我們還是希望回到前四
未來一個月會有6名正太回歸

“We think we’re going to be surprising a lot of pundits who are writing off
our chances.

“If (hypothetically) we were to miss out on Champions League next year
obviously that would have a negative impact on our finances. But the impact
is not dramatic so while we’d rather be in the Champions League for a wide
variety of reasons, if we were to miss out we’d be very solidly positioned
to be able to invest prudently and come back the following year.”
假設明天進不了歐冠
對財政影響也只有一點點
反正以後再努力又會回來了

Arsenal’s profit before tax deductions was up by ￡4.5m in six months with
the release of figures on Thursday, with matchday turnover up ￡3.3m to ￡
44.4m. Broadcasting revenues also rose by ￡4.5m to ￡28.9m.
球隊是董事會賺錢的工具
雖然我們賺了不少
但我就是不花
你咬我阿
