ahh come on.
'established first team player, international captain'.
only reason he's a first team player is because we have a thin squad and the rest of our players are shite. he wouldnt be a first team player at man utd, thats why they offered him a youth contract but we for some reason offerred him a professional contract.
its NOT the going rate, its arsenal's going rate.
and its wrong.
you cant sit there and justify the wages for him. we've approached the wage structure in completely the wrong way and its wrong.
end of.
I don't have to justify anything. A lot of players are on the wrong wage, but he's not one of them.
ok so one cross gained three points, what about his lack of tracking back against swansea causing miquel to be horribly exposed costing us 3 points? he has done more harm then good this season, waste of space, unprofessional and good ridance.
you're justifying his wages and its unjustifiable.
wes brown was on 18k a week at man utd and he had won 5 premier league's, 2 fa cups, 3 league cups, and champions league twice.
o shea was on less than 30k and he has a similar honours list.
im not comparing them outright to ramsey but im just showing you how wrong our wage structure is.
what's ramsey done? was given the armband by speed because he was looking to the future. many said it was the wrong decision.
was out for a year with a broken leg, and has contributed very little/won us fuck all.
as i say, its arsenals going rate, NOT footballs going rate. not one other club pays its youth players the amount we do.
He's been poor no doubt about that, but he's one of our few players who can score a goal or two...we barely have any now.
I agree with GB though, getting rid at a time when we can't get anyone in is totally ridiculous, we now have to rely on Chamakh. Wenger continues making baffling decisions, there's absolutley no logic behind much of what he does these days.
he came on trial and didnt impress, so what was wenger to do? if he had been good we would have signed him, he wasnt so he didnt. we going to blame wenger for that now?
forlan was the worlds worst striker at man united, couldnt hit a barn door, yet leaves united and becomes one of europes top strikers. supsodly ferguson is great at making players be good when they are not, yet he failed.
yes wenger has made mistakes, but he gave us henry, who was crap when he joined and left as the leagues greatest ever striker. he has made many players brilliant, just cos one player failed to impress in at trail then became good doesnt mean we should blame him for that
No he was not
Wes Brown; £50,000 a week
John O'Shea; £50,000 a week

Well he didn't impress Wenger, but then maybe his idea of football wasn't 5 yard passing which leads to no end product.
He's not a Wenger type player though, he's competitive, tough tackling and likes to win.
Its easy to point that out in hindsight but at the time if he was no good what can you do.
