If they stayed....(Nasri & Fabregas)?

[Toronto Gooner]

Whilst that may be true, what do other clubs do?

Rooney got a massive payrise does that mean every other Man U player will be doing the same as him?

Unlike Nasri, Rooney has actually put in more than 4 months of good and impressive performances.

Yeah, a lot players will look at their rivals and want that much money. But do you really think we're in a position to be offering a load of our players £150k a week? We simply can't afford to keep up with the likes of Chelsea and City when it comes to wages, just the same as we can't keep up with the transfer fees.

I agree that we cant keep up financially with the likes of Citeh or Chelsea so we have to come up with another way to keep or attract top players
there are always going to be players who are prepared to forgo regular football for a fat pay check but I believe that the majority are looking to play and moreover win
in this area we fall short too
it can be argued that Utd although to a lesser extent than us would lose out in a bidding war with Citeh but their advantage is they are proven winners with a manager who knows his arse from his elbow, can ring in changes and tinker with systems to get a job done, winning ugly is something Utd can do

we will not ayyract anyone of worth of we contonue to keep stubbornly to a fsiled plan
Wenger says everyone is waiting and its a game of poker, well lay the first catd motherf. . .er
buy rhe defender we most obviously need, by addressing a provlem that even my Gran can see, we might convince a few more players to join and not just the 15 year old new Jan Molby who joins cos he sees us as a
stepping stone to greater things

I am not calling fpr Wenger to leave but I am asking for him to pull his head out his arse, man even the smell of rosrs can sickening if exposed to it as long as AW has been

But how can you stop a player from running down a contract? You can't force them to sign. The only other option is to sell them, but then we'll be seen as a selling club and accused of never being able to hold on to our top players. I just think it's a very slippery slope to let the players dictate what wages they deserve.

Although I do agree that there is a fundamental problem with us paying the young, unproven players way too high wages based on "potential". It does make it increasingly hard to get them off your books. But then, if we do buckle to Nasri's wage demands and for the next two years he performs like he did in the second half of last season, then what's the biggest problem; Bendtner being shit on £50k or Nasri being shit on £100k?

You can't force a player to do anything but success breeds loyalty. The vicious circle we're in is IMHO mainly down to a lack of ambition. It's not like our players are leaving us and moving to inferior teams. They are seeking a move for sporting & financial reasons.

We as a club need to show more ambition in the Market, we can't compete with Citeh, Chelsea & Man U but we should most definitely be in a position where we can attract top quality & emerging players from our lesser rivals.

That's the long and short of it for me.

This..

Just because Nasri is top class should not mean he should get away with things. He seems to be no diffrent to flamini tbh

[dazthegooner]

And Flamini has hardly set the world on fire since he left

Can't be all down to AW the board needs to show it wants to win things. The Players that want to leave have want the board to show them they believe in them or they will go.
