Jack Wilshere is on £85k a week. That's not justified if we're going relate pay to performance but if it means we've locked him into a long term deal, so be it. It makes no sense to be so critical. We're trying to retain the services of one of our top performing players. This season he's been head and shoulders above the rest and last season he was good alongside Song and RVP. You need to see the bigger picture. Makes no sense to blast the club for our transfer policy but then throw a fit when it looks as though we may finally keep one of our top performers. If Theo were allowed to walk on a free it would really open up a wound and I'm sure other players around the club would really start questioning the clubs ambition. We have to stop the rot somewhere. Why shouldn't Theo be on the same money as Podolski and Arshavin?
