As true as a lot of that is, i am going to stay rather quiet on transfer slagging, as we have so far not made any noticeable progress either.

The key difference though is contract lengths. All of our key players have plenty of years left on theirs. That to me is where Arsenal have been negligent the most. Yes one can argue the same old same old hasn't won them the league, but they have won 3 FA Cups and until this season, always qualified for the CL. I also wonder how much issue there is at board level right now, with the failed takeover attempt and so forth.

Sanchez on Sky Sports stating he knows where he will be playing next season.

I said the same thing about Lukaku (sp - don't care lol) - these players are real arrogant ****s these days as if they are under contract it's not up to them to decide where they are playing.

It's up to whether the club decide to accept an offer and if they do then they can decide where they are playing.

And alternatively if he's staying at Arsenal he should just come out and say it.

I think he's just trolling Arsene Wenger :)

It does make you wonder if Arsenal have already sold him and are just waiting to sign a couple of players before they announce it.
We keep hearing that Lukaku has already agreed his move to Chelsea and it looks like Everton might be spending before they announce the deal as well. Although some of the papers are saying Costa's move is delaying that deal as well.

Mind you fuck Arsenal in the face as just seen they're celebrating anniversary of Judas' transferring to them 16 years ago.

Bunch of classless ****s.

Awesome. And next month they can celebrate the day he left them on a free for a new challenge at a foreign club - Portsmouth.

Lol. SanCHEZ is staying. They must have coughed up the 350k a week.

Good player but too temperamental for that kind of dough ray me.

Only thing I can see is that he's staying to see out his contract? That's definitely a double edged sword given they'd likely lose him on a free.. although I guess he might stay for longer if things go really well.

Yes but then you have to pay the likes of Walcott and mertesecker 200 to 250k a week.
I don't get this. You may have to pay players of same standard big money, but they get paid on how good they are. Walcott is no Sanchez and will get the going rate for his quality

Agents will have clauses inserted into their deals that make them get parity or percentage of what the top earner gets.

All clubs have this problem.
