Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[JonasTC]

Well I highly doubt he is the best paid player in the league. His salary only gets bumped up to its highest (~£200k) from next season, at which point we'll either be in the the CL (kerching!) or he'll be off. Even then he probably wouldn't be highest paid, what with the likes of Yaya, Aguero and Van Persie. And that discounts the current Rooney negotiations, which if the BBC are accurate with their reports blasts Suarez' supposed wage out the water.

In any case he's one of if not the best player in the league, so his pay will reflect that.

He might be the best, but your club havent seen european games in years, which still doesnt guarantee enough money and then try to compete on the salary with the silly money clubs, that is just ridicoulous.

So i'll say again, it wouldnt surprise me if you offered Sagna a silly contract, seeing the reckless behavour of your financial staff.

Thank you for your interest in our affairs.

I don't see how Liverpool could possibly arrived at a better deal with Suarez.

Don't see where we can get off preaching financial sermons to other clubs. We have our own recent history of paying ridiculous salaries to many who don't merit it and I include Wenger in that list

We're one of the few top teams in the world who actually makes money, i think we can preach to everybody how to be financial responsible

Bit ironic of you to say that, considering you're active on an arsenal forum

That was the joke.

Seriously though, how is having your best player, one significantly better than anyone else in your team, sign a new contract considered reckless? The easiest way we're ever going to get into the CL with any sort of regularity is by keeping our best players. And if we don't make CL then he leaves anyway, having not paid him a comparatively insane amount.

We're not competing with the likes of City because we've got one player on a very high wage. They have 5,6,7,8+ on this kind of money. Even increasing his wage from say, £120k/week to £200k/week is about £4m which for a PL club is the sum total of fuck all.

I agree with having him on the best contract, but paying him that much is dangerous for non-silly money clubs, what about new signings if or when Suarez leaves? They want big contracts aswell, Sturridge probably wants to be paid up there aswell seeing as his striker partner is getting more than double and so on, if u understand what i mean?

200K for Suarez? If the hype machine Shrek is getting £300K then Suarez is worth £3mill a day. If Liverpool lose his goals they are mid table. Exactly the same way as it isn't with us and Giroud. £200K to keep him there is the price. We're paying more for Giroud in the terms of results being delivered.
