labibs Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 Again, how has this thread got to four pages? Theo simply wouldn't come here. Were he available, several champion's league clubs would be interested in taking him, in addition to several other 'big clubs' (E.g. Liverpool) who are not in the champion's league this season. The wages / transfer fee issue is something of a moot point. We are simply not that attractive a proposition for someone in Theo's position. Regardless of how nice a place Southampton may be to live, Theo would (I imagine) have aspirations of winning trophies and building an international career, interests which would not be best served by moving to us this summer.

Sour Mash Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 (edited) Well their reference point should be who they have now, and Walcott was one of their most dangerous attacking players last season despite periods of poor form. If they want rid I'm sure there'll be no shortage of takers. Wouldn't be surprised to see Man City go for him to add a bit of pace out wide. What do you mean it "should"? They got used to real quality up-front and so that's what they're obviously going to compare to. It wasn't the exception, but the norm - Wright-Bergkamp-Henry, not like us just having a unique one off like Le Tiss. Plus they were then told that by moving to a new stadium and doubling ticket prices they'll be better able to compete and the opposite has happened. They don't rate Chamakah or Gervinho either, that doesn't mean they should think Walcott is amazing because other players are a bit rubbish.

S-Clarke Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Arsenal must offer players smarties as contract or something. What's that - Nasri, Cesc, Van Persie, Song, Theo.......weird club. They've not replaced any of them either, or they have tried to - but much lesser quality. A club that seems to be quietly lowering the wage bill and the calbire of players. That new stadium has taken the edge of their competitiveness player-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Personally, I think £75k per week is a more than generous offer. It's not a bad offer, but to play at the top table now you're talking 100k plus p/w for your top players. I don't believe in that myself as I think it's crazy, but if Arsenal want to compete then they're going to have to stretch slightly. But they obviously can't for whatever reason.

pap Posted 28 August, 2012 Share Posted 28 August, 2012 Well, I always thought the restrictions on transfer budgets and wages were a short term thing while they made the transition to the Emirates. Seems like they can't keep a player. Perhaps they're thinking financial fair play and learning to live within their means ahead of time. Perhaps they just don't rate Theo as highly as he values himself. The wage structure, along with what is on offer elsewhere, is crippling that club. Even worse now that so many players are in financially warmer climes and probably telling their former team-mates how much greener the grass is on the other side. Like I say, they may be ahead of the curve - but it must be bloody frustrating to be an Arsenal fan right now, and each defecting player just makes further defections more likely.

MatthewStiles Posted 29 August, 2012 Share Posted 29 August, 2012 The wage structure, along with what is on offer elsewhere, is crippling that club. Not sure if you're arguing that they spend too much or not enough. Anyway From BBC TOP PREMIER LEAGUE WAGE BILLS 2010-11 Chelsea - £191m (up from £174m in 2009-10) Manchester City - £174m (£133m) Manchester United - £153m (£132m) Liverpool - £135m (£121m) Arsenal - £124m (£111m) However, from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/23/premier-league-accounts-profit-debt Arsenal spend 48% of turnover on wages, only Man U spend less as a % of turnover. Personally, I think a club like Arsenal should keep a lid on things. I've had my ups and downs with Arsenal fans, like most London clubs they are arrogant sods but I would love it if a club outside of the financially doped Man City, Chelsea and Man United (though Man U are not so much being doped lately as being stripped) could win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
