Its one thing being abivalent but you went the opposite way and all the way to the other extreme. If I didn't know any better I'd have swore this type of exaggeration was a Sicario post.
What have we done that's more "ambitious"? That's two top signings (Rice and Mount) and one really, really good signing (Gundogan) all in roughly one area of the team. Ozil was just one signing. Sanchez was just one signing. Bergkamp was just one signing. Campbell was just one signing. Rice + Mount + Gundogan would certainly be more "ambitious" than any of those. That's not to say that it would work out better than all or even any of those signings (or any other number of signings you could mention). That's why I used the word "ambitious" for the point I was trying to make and put it in quotes. There's not necessarily a direct one-to-one mapping between something being "ambitious" and something being good.
To be somewhat more specific on what I meant about "ambitious", I mean something that makes you go "Holy shit! We're actually really putting all of our chips in here." We've built plenty of good teams but we're also pretty famous for never really putting all of our chips in*, so it's not as if there's a lot of historical competition here.
* For better or for worse. I think I'm more sympathetic to not putting all your chips in than a lot of people, for what it's worth.
