What sporting ambition do you feel we needed to show? We're hardly languishing in mid-table.
Aye, all we can do is give them both the best possible offer. I personally think we can and should shatter our wage structure to keep them here, I don't think we need or should be principled in any of this. We have 2 world class players who make us a very good team and we need to pay them accordingly, we are not in a position to contemplate losing either of them.

I feel and have commented on many occasions that Wenger has mismanaged multiple transfer windows, last summer was undoubtedly his best window in a very long time, prior to that he hasn't really added the necessary quality to the squad in sufficient numbers. We have not been ambitious enough in the market and up until this summer haven't addressed glaring holes in the squad.

Finishing top 4 is not enough anymore, we should be properly challenging for titles & trophies.
