Goodbye Sanga?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

£25m+ for Song?

Why not, he is worth that after all was only 24 and had 3 years left on his deal.

If I publicly criticised the company I work for I'm pretty sure they'd call that gross misconduct and I'd soon find myself on the dole.

It makes no difference if what Sagna has said is true or not. He should keep his bitch mouth shut.

Spot on.

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.

problem is too many keyboard warriors who say they win but when it comes to the crunch they take it.

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.

ok fine i agree leaving it two years is a bit risky, and i hope the club change it. however lets use song as an example here, he signed a five year contract two years ago, his agent said that song wanted a new one a year ago and wanted meetings and arsenal said no. so thats one year into a five year deal and he wants a new contract?

last year, we had kos, sagna, gibbs, theo, rvp and rosicky all nearing the two year or one year mark left. they were the urgent ones to deal with and thats why i say urgent. also with three years left on your deal, blackmailing arsenal into talks during a transfer window is only likely to end one way ands taht being told to fuck off.

going back to song, yes 3 years is probably a good point to open talks, however song wanted talks for over a year now, meaning he awnted them one year into his deal and that is not acceptable when others are more important imo. contract talks for players with three years left should start once the summer transfer window ahs closed because there will be others that are more important to sort out

More his agents wanted a bigger pay day. Song was a 1st teamer that does not mean he should be able to dictate terms. However the clubs need to learn to sort out contracts better then they do.

Sagna should shut up and work to return to the team . He is not helping his teammates with his useless interview . We will never know the truth about players who are leaving or being sold . Van persie wanted out and you could tell through his statement . Song was not doing his defensive duties properly . He had a good season creating chances for Van Persie but his main task of protecting the back five was always let to be desired .

The truth is we lost two players . Was it to balance the books as some claim ? Or because the club lack ambition according to RVP ? OR simply because one (RVP) refuse to sign the contract and the other ( Song ) was disruptive and was pushed to the exit door ? Media and fans will only speculate but the truth remains a mystery .
All that doesn't count anymore and we should move on . Song and RVP don't care about Arsenal anymore , why should they ? The question we should ask whether the team has moved forward or not since their departure . Based on the three games played so far there seem to be some improvement . Their sale can turn out to be a blessing in disguise .

If his teammates share the same feelings, which I think there's a good chance they do, then I don't think his comments potentially having an adverse effect is really an issue.

[gooners]

the only 'truth' that will remain a mystery is how football fans can be duped out of their hard-earned cash by multimillionaires over and over again and still think they have a some sacred stake in their clubs to protect.

stan,phw & co. must enjoy this while smoking their cigars and shitting down on these fans!

Yet none og his team mates came out and said anything even if they were feeling it. Was this suppose to be some lead from the back thing?

Im sure TV5 may feel the same way but he did not say anything now. Sagna not wrong to say what he said but this was not the right time.

Would not say it was a useless interview but it was a wrong time one. Rather then not helping his team mates he is not helping himself and it would not supprise me if Jenkinson got a longer run in the team cause off this.

The more pressing concern surely is how many feel the same, not what one guy said in an interview.
