We've wasted a fortune on wages, or more specifically Wenget has not managed to get the best out of a large crop of players who are now subsequently running down their contracts without even having to play for us. That is terrible management from the suits at the top right down to Wenget.

On reflection, Diaby signed a long term contract in 2010, so he may actually have to stick around. Likewise Bendtner still has a deal till 2014.Is Denilshit, Diaby and Bendy in the last year of their contracts? Please let it be true
Arshavin, Squillachi and Denilson are definitely gone at the end of the season unless Wenger decides to have rush of blood to the head and decides to keep them .... which given some of his current decisions may not be surprising.
In any case I'm more hoping that a combination of Wenger and the club applying pressure and each player having some desire to join another club where they may actually be wanted rather than being perpetually loaned out, forces all of them out of the door come the end of the season. Though who'd be willing to take Bendy of our hands with his 52K a week wages still remains to be seen.
Hopefully Chamakh, Fabianski, Djourou, Park, Gervinho, Park & Santos join them but I'm probably hoping for too much there. It sickens me thinking about the amount of wages we're wasting on this shower of shite who are not only awful, but aren't at the very least contributing anything to the team. We could have signed three Van Persie players on their combined wages.

That's the thing, I wouldn't have a problem giving these squad players a reasonably big wage if they were proving to be of use now and then, but the fact we have so many who don't even play (or are out on loan) is such a waste and it really does call into question Wenget's eye for talent, something he's supposed to be famed for.
who's contract is up in the summer exactly? squillaci, denilson, bendtner and arshavin? and chamakh the following year?
It's a serious waste of money and it's never made any sense to me. If the likes of Stan and Gazidis are denying Wenger funds then why have they allowed the wage bill to rocket? Shouldn't we be cutting it down and operating on a shoestring budget?
"Our ability to compete at the top of the game here and in Europe () is underpinned by our financial performance which gives the Club strength and independence. Our desire is to make everyone connected with Arsenal proud of the Club. We know that comes through winning trophies but also through the way we do things and that will remain our constant guide."

Burns: "Look at them, Smithers, enjoying their embezzlement.."
Smithers: "I have a much uglier word for it sir, *dramatic close up* Misappropriation!"
It gets more laughable by the day. Truth is we're not even that well run a club any more. The likes of Swansea are the shining example. Not us. And my fear is that with prolonged lack of silverware, commercial sponsorship and new fans in emerging markets will start drifting away as well."Our ability to compete at the top of the game here and in Europe (

Not well run? The 6 month balance sheet looks to be in good health, the CEO is being awarded huge bonuses based, we assume, on profitability.
I'd say we were an extremely well run business.
