Phil… you’re in the wrong day mate! Post in todays blog!

Interesting point… I don’t think Arsenal’s wage slips were leaked because Willy G did not take a pay cut to come to Arsenal.

We have a monster wage bill.

I mean, thing is, we reportedly have just one player (Gallas) in the top 50 best paid footballers in the world (plenty of ex-gunners in there though). And yet these are players that consistently get Arsenal into the later stages of the Champions’ League.

We, the fans, get scalped on matchday, whilst players that we know do a good job for the team, are underpaid by comparison to ‘the market’ and leave. I think it’s brilliant that our players are here for other reasons than the money (the average age also plays a factor in the sub-par wages), but honestly, is the club so tight that it is prepared to lose a known quantity when we already sold his best backup (Diarra), and the others are Denilson and Gilberto, one far too young, the other far too old? Are we that confident of being able to buy one in and get him gelled with the team soon enough for the new season, in a Euro year?

“I think that ‘you know who’ comment was straight out of the Arsene knows brigade fan club.”

the brigade has a fan club?

“a blog where you can have an opinion, not get one”…
… just make sure you don’t post it in the comments countercurrent to a groupthink.

Flamini is over rated ! sure he make cesc look good but he’s scored like 2 or 3 goals all season i really think we need to get a midfielder who can score ! ..
And as for flamini stalling , money hungry AH springs to mind ! Talk of a joining fee ,obviously more wages that arsene will offer him ! I spose you cant blame him , but is he REALLY THAT GOOD ?

flamini – jens-bert -eboue -ade ! out you go !

With the cash arsene buy 2 decent players !!!
A world class striker wouldn’t go astray !
