Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[gooners]

I'm honestly not too bothered if Theo leaves, he's had long enough to make himself a first team regular and to prove he has what it takes. What does bother me is how we get ourselves into these situations every summer, it looked like it was going to be different this year but after signing three we've slowly been selling off our first teamers, why haven't we signed a couple more, it just seems it's not a big deal to the management or club...if Wenger wants to build a team maybe he should make sure we're adequately covered after selling 1st teamers.

when you offer youngsters big contracts, you are forced to wait longer to renew their contracts because otherwise they will soon be approaching the upper limit of the wage structure.

the choice then is to flog them off or bite the bullet and give them the big boys contracts. We know afc's choice especially since most of these youngsters don't turn out to be the uber worldbeaters we thought they'll be.

100k a week can be spent much better than theo walcott. After 6 years at this club i expected him to turn into a world beater but he's nowhere near that. Get rid.

Spot on tbh

There hasn't been any proper planning at this club since we moved to the new stadium, we let our top players go without a club who is going to take their place.

Wenger said it last summer to be honest when he said if we lose Cesc and Nasri we can't be considered a big club and he's right, everyone wants to jump ship these days, this is hurting the reputation of this club and our status in world football, as some have said in reality we're nothing but a feeder club and we don't really seem bothered about it.

No but thats was project youth was to bring the youth through while we was paying off the stadium. Which is fine if you mix and match Youth with exprience which we have failed to do.

Like you say how do we get ourselves in to this situation every summer, well i think you should ask Mr Gazidas that.

This. Not to add when you do try to flogg them and to lesser teams most won't want to take the pay cut so we have a problem created by?

So now Walnutt has rejected a contract? What the fuck is this?

****

Does it even matter what he earns, especially when we know we're unlikely to spend £20m on a new winger and plus £100k on wages. We're going to be in for a very slow season because we've gotten rid of our of our top scorers and providers in one window. Also, the message it sends out is just horrible. If we sell on Friday, we better bring in some real quality players because we're looking like a joke.

yes what he earns does matter because we're on a self-sustainable model and our wage structure is on its knees at the moment. so what theo earns is of huge significance to our model and club in general, especially as we have the likes of chamakh, squillaci, bendtner, fabianski, park and arshavin still on our pay roll. most of them are unlikely to be shifted before the end of the transfer window so if it's a choice of a) giving theo 100k a week contract or b) selling theo for 15m and buying a quality consistent winger for 100k a week, then i suggest we do the latter.

we've won nothing with the current crop of shite so getting rid is hardly going to affect us trophy wise. however, i do agree with you that the message it sends out is embarrassing. nevertheless we've already seen rvp - our most prized asset - go to our bitter rivals so at this moment in time i couldnt care less about selling little theo walcott. nothing amazes me anymore with this football club and im past the point of caring so he can fuck off like the rest of them. we really are a shambles. what an absolute embarrassment it is to support this club right now in its current predicament.

Is it too early for us to cash in on Carzola?

It's a ridculous situation and unsustainable. It's as if this wasn't thought through properly. Theo is a classic example. He's reached the top end of the wage structure quickly because the club have been too eager to dish out big wages when he was a teen. Jack, Ox and Ramsey will soon face the same problem if they stay long enough. Aren't Jack and Ramsey already on $50k a week?

It's a silly situation and this wage structure needs reviewing.
a)We can't move on underperforming players because nobody will pay their wages.
b) The young players that actually stay long enough will soon find they're at the top end of the wage structure before they're mid 20s.
c) We won't break our wage structure and we'll end up losing key players including the kids we've spent nurturing for years.

We can't keep this structure in place because we end up losing out all the time. It's flawed,
