    Maguire is pretty decent to be fair, whether he's worth 70 million is another matter however.

    But then when you consider we paid 35 odd million for Mustafi a few years ago, Maguire looks a genuine bargain in comparison.

    Man Utd bid 70 million for Harry fucking Maguire and it still might not be enough to get him!

    Football.
    On top of the £250,000 they are paying Rashford now the place is a complete shit show.

    Arsenal pay 350k a week to a useless fairy like Ozil.

    I'd much rather have Rashford than Ozil.

    It was Wenger who let Ozils contract run down.

    What a farce.

    An 18 year old forward is just what Arsenal need.

    Very underwhelming.

    and 200k for Mhkytaryan a player who was unwanted and had been playing very poorly when we signed him, not to mention all the other overpaid players we have, we're as guilty as anyone of overpaying players massively, over the years we've been paying nobodies way over market value in fact.

    What the hell is market rate any more? It's all gone completely mental although I agree we massively overpay our players.

    It's odd, we had a fairly rigid structure for a long time, then we kept this structure but has this weird policy of wanting to keep everyone on fairly similar amounts meaning we paid young players a lot more than others, we did finally break that structure but we ended up doing it when we'd backed ourselves into a corner by allowing too many players to run down their contracts, that's when Ozil and Mhkitaryan ended up picking up over half a million a week between them.

    I guess these days if you want to attract the better players wages will probably be high, but you really should only do this for players that are top quality and that you desperately want, not out of desperation.

    Wages are totally out of control having said that but there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. But based on the quality we have in our squad (or had last season) we were massively overpaying our players which has really hindered our ability to get rid of them as well.

    Nobele has signed up for 6 years. Who would want to go that long without winning a trophy during their peak years?
