Good Bye Song!

[Power n Glory]

Which would indicate that there was more truth in what the club said about him than what his agent/camp etc are saying.

That's not the point I'm making. Plus being upset about contract talks doesn't necessarily mean you start to act unprofessionally. I'm not really fussed by what either camp says because they both have agendas and will miss out key parts of information. They both can be talking shit.

But the point is, our wage policy is stupid and causes strife. We're trying to shift on players like Denilson and Chamakh because they offer nothing yet take home very good wages but at the same time we have players that contribute a lot and it's not reflected in their pay. It causes unrest and leaves us vulnerable to big clubs. It's unbalanced and we'll always find ourselves in this position if we continue on like this. The club knows that wages play an important part which is why they're quick to give pay rises to young players that look promising but they're neglecting the talent right in front of them.

Also, it makes no sense to let a player like Song go, someone we've developed from young, to deny him the wage increase, then to go out and splash £15m on a player like M'Villa and give him £60k - £75k a week. Just give Song the pay rise. It's highly unlikely that we'll be able to get anyone as good as him to accept anything less than £60k a week.

I'm not sure too many Arsenal fans give a fuck about Song leaving anyway. Apart from possibly the most miserable ones.

And songs hasn't changed for the last 2 or 3 seasons.

He begs to differ. He's got an improved one at barca anyway. Moot

Now rumoured that Song had threatened to refuse to play

[Cripps_orig]

Just like Cesc then

[gooners]

Your face needs improved terms.

I admit it does. It does indeed. Well spotted

[Power n Glory]

Just like Cesc then

Just like RVP refused to train.....speculation, speculation

RVP didnt go to Asia. He wasnt injured, hes not a new player so didnt need to stay in England to acclimatize and he was our captain and star player so we sure as hell didnt tell him to stay behind.

Common sense really

As for Cesc, we had injury problems galore at the start of last season, so much so that even Nasri played for us v Liverpool and he was our best player as well but Cesc invented an "injury" so he couldnt play, signs for Barca a couple of days later and plays for them a couple of days after that

Again, common sense would suggest he refused to play

Your face needs improved terms.

Worst WUM ever.

Oh dear.

You do realise there squad roles,first team roles and key member roles in the team?

blame his agent then for not getting in a clause that allowed an increase. why blame the club when the player and agent accepted a 5 year contract?
