Nuri Sahin

How can you claim to know anything about these players or suggest other agents wouldnt try and renegotiate a better contract especially considering Chakmakh is on a similar wage. Point is he deserved a better contract, and we should have given him one. Even if we dont, selling him is just ridiculous and makes little sense.

I've already said that I think he deserved to be paid more, chamakh was signed on a free and as ollie has said had just had a fairly decent season so was able to negotiate a better wage. Song wasnt as good as he is now when his agent negotiated his contract so was being paid handsomely for his performance at the time. He has improved since and rightly wanted more money than bendy and chakma as they are both shit.

The club told him to wait until September to open talks as he still had 3 years remaining on his contract but him and his agent were too busy eyeing up the money that was being offered by barca.

And again, as you say, selling him is ridiculous and makes little sense........unless he was acting like a twat like the club have said or he would still be an arsenal player and would be on the verge of a better extended deal.

Yes i see get rid of your top performer because he wants a pay rise. He deserved it simple as.

there was no rush with songs contract, missing out one more month would be irrelvant because of the amount he earns already. he woudl know the club are busy dealing with more urgent things then a contract with three years left. he only kicked up a fuss in the window to force the clubs hand and take more money off them. if he was loyal he wouldnt ahve minded but he tried to force the club into it, the club called his bluff and now his career is likely to be no better then helbs

That may be true but im arguing that isnt this what we should expect from footballers? Surely people know by now that the loyalty in a modern player is long gone. If we lost one of our top performers because of a 'couple of weeks' or because he is out for himself then god help us. We need to man up and secure all of our best players and BUILD, not destroy it.

after one year, im not sure. look most likely he should have been on around 70k a week, but after one season where he was good, doesnt warrent a pay rise. what happens if he was shit this year, we would be moaning about how wenger backs down for players and pays them what they want when they want.

and yes we did right in getting rid of him, i dont twats here who jsut care about money, i want those who are comitted, and forcing a contract dicussion with three years left on the club isntead of waiting two weeks, is enough to kick him out the club and good riddance

Good luck fielding a team with 0 players then if that is how you feel. Petty emotions aside, this is a bad footballing decision. Wenger and co could/should have done more to prevent this from going through. He didnt and once again we have weakened.

no they shouldnt, they had a player who was telling the club where he thought he should be, demanding more money, late for training and lazy. good ridance

also we have a team, listen to podolski, cazorla, kos, verm, giroud they all renewed/signed because they wanted to be here and want to play for us.

Not sure what any of the above stuff has to do with Sahin, but Twitter is starting with rumours that Sahin deal is stalling over what'll happen at the end of the loan deal with regards to permanent deals etc. Mourinho might yet screw us over.

Also don't forget that they have already had their fingers burnt by the adebayor situation.
