My frustration with our setup is that basically what Wenger is doing is essentially, bribing these young players with stupid wages to stay with him and his never ending project. This in the long run doesn't work because the really talented ones will leave anyways once they hit 26 or 27 citing lack of silverware. I can bet you in 2 years time Walcott will be talking about wanting to leave to win things. At the end of the day winning is the best way to guarantee good players staying. When you win prizes you attract sponsors with deeper pockets, not the ones who were left off from United and Chelsea, by doing so you broaden your fan base, fill the stadium, sell more merchandise.

Right now all Arsenal is doing is flogging it's existing fan base for all its worth, not growing it's brand. Competing is a mindset. Sadly it's completely lacking at this club
