Goodbye Sanga?

[Fist of Lehmann]

Nope it does not make sense to sell a player with 3 years on his deal for £15 Million, when we should have got at least £10 mill more. Or to the fact we could have sold him for the same next season.

We all know he wanted more money thats clear and mabe he started acting out and the board and manager saw it easy to sell and Balance the books at the same time.

£25m+ for Song?

What do you think the fans should do?

Take their sons to their first ever match. My boy was so happy when I told him, I've now booked RPQ as well.

You're sticking it to the man

Voice their concerns more at the way things are being handled, if that doesn't work the only thing that would work would be not buying the tickets.

Whilst I don't really like the latter, maybe that's the only way the club will actually start listening, I don't like their untouchable attitude.

Basically agree but unfortunately (in a way) Wenger keeps delivering decent results and top 4 finishes. He keeps doing enough to keep people reasonably content with what they're seeing even if they're not happy overall with the way the club is being run. Even last year our home results were W12 D4 L3 which is pretty respectable, you're not going to get the home crowd booing while we're winning most of our home games. I don't imagine I'll renew next season but that's more because dad is losing interest and I've long since become disillusioned with the game as a whole.

I agree with your last bit. Im as sickened as you by the way the board has operated over the last couple of years in particular; however, to be fair, if he has three years left on a five year contract, I dont believe that the board should have to start negotiating with him. Its ridiculous

Urgent things...what you mean like selling of two of our first teamers?

Fact is if we want to hold onto players we need to start contract talks early, experience should tell us that. Start with a year or two left and you're already in trouble....those are the hard facts.

If we want to keep hold of players we should be negotiating with them with 2 to 3 years left on their contracts to make sure we don't lose them.

Had we done with others, we'd have a) got a lot more money or b) not sold them.

This summer really takes the biscuit for me, it appears on the face of it that they planned to make a few signings to make sure season tickets etc are sold, once done they sell off two players and make sure we make a tidy profit. F*cking sickening to be honest.

With 3 years left on his deal, they don't have to renegotiate. But then it makes no sense to let him leave. If we're holding someone to their contract because he has 3 years left, then I'd assume it's because he's a player we want to keep. How did it go from a player wanting a new deal to wanting to leave? It's all well and good blaming the player, but I think back to the Bergkamp situation where the club left him hanging all year and he did not even know if it was his last season. That's disgraceful and people need to keep that sort of situation in mind. This was Dennis Bergkamp and they handled that situation badly. If it was any other player, they'd have left the club and stuck two fingers up but because he's a legend and been with us for ages, he held his tongue.

Bergkamp spoke of his frustration at having been left hanging by the club, I think. Fortunately, he was a smart guy, invested his money wisely, so the declining wage packets were less of an issue to him. He genuinely felt something for the club as well, so he was willing to accept short contracts. But Bergkamp was the exception, a classy guy in a sea of footballing turds. And his situation has more to do with the 1 yr contract for over 30's rule.

The Song situation was different. Song wanted a pay rise 2 years into a 5 year contract. Barca offered a sum equalling or exceeding our valution of him. I'm pretty sure that we would have preferred to keep him, but given the choice, increase the wage bill or cash in, the choice for the management was easy.

Cash in, all day long.

Fact is, if someone offered me more than my house is worth, I'd take it. I'd use the money to buy somewhere better mind, not sleep rough and stuff the money in my underwear.

So if Wenger says something it's because someone asked him the question, but if a player does they're a pr*ck and should shut the f*ck up. I personally think they should all shup up but since the manager spouts sh*t to the press all the time don't see why the players can't...maybe he should set a better example.

I don't see what's wrong with what he's said anyway, players have been calling for us to spend and bring in quality for years, we do the opposite and sell our best players...hence the reason RVP decided it was time to move on.

Good to see Wenger's own players continue to doubt the methods, if hsi own team has doubts how does he expect us to compete?

Diffrence is Wenger picks Sagna to play and if he keeps spouting off he never will again. if your thick enough to insult your employers while you still work for them then you deserve the sack simples. All Sagna has done is made it easy for the board to sell him in the summer really.

Not even Cesc or Nasri or RVP came out at this stage of the season and spouting these things.

He is not wrong but say it when you leave the club not when your fucking injured and not even in the team.
All he is doing is disrupting the dressing room not the board or manager.
