Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Cant blame anyone not wanting to sign a new deal with Wenger in charge. I'd leave too (if I was a star player)

Bollocks. If you were offered 300k a week to remain in London playing for a top club your Sri Lankan ass would sign faster than you can say "Wenger out", regardless of who the manager was.

Alexis simply has more leverage in negotiations simply because:

A) His position and how few top strikers there are in the world
B) The fact he's more prepared to move abroad as he's played in several countries already and is used to it.


Alexis' people have just seen what the likes of Bale, Ronaldo, Pogba etc etc have signed for and he wants some kind of parity with them and thus they're driving a hard bargain in negotiations like Theo's people were a few years ago.

As you've seen with slimeballs like Pogba, Mkhirtyian etc, a lack of CL football or the downward spiral of a club has nothing to do with it, if the money is there. It has nothing to do with managers and if anything, Wenger's a more enticing figure for players to sign simply because of his reputation in the game (fairly or unfairly).

Especially when they aren't American at all, but from Bangladesh.

I'd take 250K in Madrid or Munich (less taxes) and play for a better manager than stay in London to play for Wenger. Pogba and the likes you mentioned moved because of money AND the chance to play at the highest level. For Pogba (at this point), it looks like a step in the wrong direction because Mourinho seems to be in meltdown, but there was plenty that was appealing about joining Man Utd other than the money.

I am not saying money is not an important factor in the negotiations.. it definitely is. I just think that he'd be prepared to take a lower amount if he felt like he had a realistic chance of winning the champions league and the league.

Ever watch NFL, NBA or MLB? We are the world series winners in all of them!

Currently watching "Premier League World" on SS1, Ray Parlour

I'm sure it's been on before, but it was bloody brilliant.

Yep, from what I can make of the situation it seems Ozil is more settled in London and more keen to sign on providing we match his wage demands and ambitions (don't laugh).

The Alexis situation seems quite tricky...it seems he is open to signing on but only if we bow to his demands, I.E. wage demands, ambitions (don't laugh), release clause in contract etc...he's basically not fully committing and is looking for a quick way out if things don't go according to plan. I don't for one minute think any amount of spin from Wenger will wash with either Ozil or Alexis this time.

I know I have gone slightly off topic here but I am basically agreeing with your point that I have highlighted above.
