Come on guys.
There are plenty of reasons to critisise Wenger and god knows he deserves it but lets not make stuff up to critisise him.
Theres no credible source who has said this other than some 14 year old kid on Twitter
But past experience suggests that we are overly stingy, so there's every chance that Cahill's wage demands are reasonable, but we're just trying to save a few bob, despite this putting the whole deal at risk.Quote:

Aside from the infamous 5,000, what other documented cases do we have?Quote:

L'Équipe are reporting that talks between Lille and AFC over Gervinho have stalled again, with the fee said to be the sticking point.
The most I can recall Campbell getting was reportedly 100,000 a week, and that was in part because he came on a free with no signing bonus. Can you document the 140,000 a week. Besides Campbell was an established England international with around 40 appearances by the time he joined Arsenal. Cahill has played just 3 times and is already 25.Quote:

not if kicking the football can result in leg-break/serious injury that could 'paralyze' one for the rest of one's life.Quote:

We are still one of the most richest football clubs in the world, with healthy turnovers recorded every year. The fact that City and Chelsea have distorted the market doesn't mean we are unable to afford top quality players. The board tries to lay the blame on the door of sugar daddies, and while they have had a negative effect on the sport, the reason why we've not made the necessary signings recently is because we have a manager who has placed far too much trust in low quality young players, and a board who are content to see their share values rise up through commercial and property deals, unwilling to put any pressure on the manager to rectify the weaknesses in the squad because they only care about their bank balances.Quote:
