Goodbye Sanga?

[Kano]

I'm sure if (when) he leaves the Arsenal propaganda machine fronted by Arseblog will be spreading stories about his unprofessionalism, bad attitude, disruptive influence etc.

From today:

Ideally, those doubts wouldn't be made as public but I don't imagine that Sagna sat down and said 'Today I will talk to a journalist about my concerns over Arsenal's transfer policy'. I suspect he's answering questions put to him in a pre-arranged interview and I guess he's just being honest and making public his worries about the way players are sold and seemingly not replaced. But this is the same Sagna who was lauding Diaby after his performance against Liverpool so he's hardly sitting at home self-harming himself in the face because of it all.

The desire to balance the books was greater than keeping a hold of one of our best players. That's the issue. We have no resolve in these sort of situations and this was handled badly. We didn't want to tie him down to a longer contract and we didn't value him as a player.

we tied him down to a five year contract two years ago. we had more urgent things to deal with this summer then some **** who wants more money. how can you moan about the club not tieing plaeyrs down when they had given a player a five year contract and he wanted a new one a year into it when his agent fucked up

Ollie the only source of the story was that AFC bloke, all the media did was relay it. None of us have a clue what went on but it would be naive to think the club was innocent.

if the media have just repeated what he said then fine, nothing, but if i remember correctly one or two of them ran the story before afcamden did. could br wrong but pretty sure im not.

also just look at wengers quotes about song, he has never been like that before with a departing player, it all just suggest to me that this wasnt a balacning the books sale.

this is just one quote from his press conference when song left

“It is always the decision of both the club and the player when somebody is sold, but Song *expressed a desire to go to *Barcelona. It is *frustrating when players decide they want to move on, but we have learned to deal with that. The *financial potential of some clubs is massive.”

so that quote shows my theory is more likely to be correct taht song wanted to leave and started bragging about it at training if the media are to be believed. it now comes down ot believe wenger or not.

nothing wrong with that, balanced from both sides and doesnt call one shit etc.

Sagna says what we are all thinking.

Why is everyone so up in arms about this? Why aren't players allowed to have an opinion on the club they play for?

Because they are paid a fortune to shut their pie hole and get on with the job. We are paid fucking peanuts which we then have to throw at these players in the hope we'll distract them from moving to another club. Why are all the rules in the favour of players? They want normal employment conditions even though their job is completely abnormal, but they don't want all those conditions, just the good shit. If you gave a negative interview to the local paper about your firm you'd be in the manager's office and he'd have grounds to kick you out the door. Good luck trying to sack Sagna, he'd be even richer if those sort of normal conditions really applied. He might be right, he might be wrong, most likely somewhere in the middle and we all know this club is run by uber-shits. Why don't the players just shut up and get on with training/ recovery?

[Power n Glory]

I really don't agree with that. It's why I can't stand Wenger these days. No integrity.

They're allowed to have an opinion, is it helpful of them to spout it to the nearest journalist?

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?
