In general, I disagree - because I think every player has a contract that they can just "sit out". Motivation is a key aspect of management and managers are there to ensure that players earn their money. But in this case - to be fair, I don't think it's Wenger's fault Arshavin's so shit. I think it's Wenger's fault a lot of other players play shit though. Unfortunately for us, Arshavin is just not stupid enough. Players lacking in perspective - players like Wilshere; fotba is all they know. Arshavin seems to be annoyingly intelligent and has some perspective. Like many of us won't go the extra mile in our jobs, fatsharvin won't go the extra metre. It's just a job.
