Arsenal Thread

Higuain didn't come because Madrid decided he was worth 15m euros more than our bid - and he isn't worth all that.

I don't consider Higuain one of the top strikers in the world, so nothing justifies 37m euros for him. Napoli probably knew that, but they got paid 70m for Cavani anyway, so who cares.

Football is getting more and more out of touch with reality, at such a surprising rate. Two years ago nobody would have paid 37m euros for someone like Higuain.

Arsenal shouldn't pay those prices, but they should pay better our players. That's the only way to keep them. A bit too late when we have already lost Van Persie for just 24m pounds - think about it, if Higuain is "worth" 37m euros, how much is Van Persie worth??

We need to have a higher ceiling and start paying handsomely our best players if we don't want to be have a gun to our heads and last minute sagas like so many times recently.
 
Even if we pay our players better they will still want to leave. Most of our players who have left recently were not mainly because of money IMO it was for getting silver wear or playing for a much better team. Money would be a factor, but not that big of a one.

We need to buy more quality players so we can prove to the current players we can win things, if we don't do that then our players will always want to leave.

I read the reason why Higuian was passed on was he was a St only. Where as Giroud couldn`t share the line at top. Suarez can play across the top and Giroud could still play w/ Suarez. The question is Suarez looks like the deal won`t go. We need a player that can be a AM, CF, and ST. Surely there`s a player in the pipeline Gervinho looks like he agreed terms w/ Roma.

David Villa sounded perfect...

disagree. if anything, any club out there would do that then without thinking twice. higuain two years ago was nothing but phenomenal. then the back injuries happened and he had a serious surgery. after that he could never find his old form.

And how do we buy more quality players? Offer them higher salaries. Our salary ceiling isn't on par with our league position IMO.

It's a cycle - players say they want to win stuff so they leave - but they also get better pay. But if Arsenal recognises the market practices and pays world class talent accordingly (I'm not saying I agree with the salaries but that's the market for you) then, more world class players would be able to join.

That's how City and Chelsea started their revolution - before they won fuck all nobody would join if it was only for silverware.

It goes hand in hand, silverware and top salaries, and we shouldn't pretend otherwise.
 
You said we should 'pay better our players' meaning we should pay our curren players more? That's what I got from your initial post. I was just saying most of our players have left more for footballing reasons/personal reasons than money IMO.

We agreed to up both of Van Persies and Fabregas wages considerably from what I can remember, those are our best two players that have left recently and one wanted to go to a better club and win things and the other wanted to play for his boyhood club. Giving them more money didn't help.

There is no evidence that Arsenal has agreed to sign a player but it has broken down because of wages? I can't remember any anyway?

Initially teams like Chelsea and Mancity overpay their players but as more success comes their way then they can offer less.

We already have the basis and history to entice players and we also pay pretty well.

We can't afford to spend the 70m on players and offer them all 200k a week it's just not possible for us, a club that needs to run properly and just can't throw money away.
 
I meant both, new world class players we might sign, and our best current players. For instance, if Suarez joins earning 150k a week, we would have to put the likes of Wilshere and Cazorla on the same money.

Our current wage structure will have to be broken at some point. Inequalities exist in everything in life, just as much there are great players and average players. Inevitably some will earn much more than others.
To me that's unthinkable that Arteta and Chamakh are on similar money.

I wasn't talking of evidence of Arsenal failing to sign because of wage talks with players, but there is the lack of ability to open negotiations in the first place.
Take Rooney as an example, his current salary totally eclipses our highest earner, so I think Wenger wouldn't even go there.
Which in turn makes all the more hilarious Ivan Gazidis' remarks about us being able to sign Rooney.
We would have to put him on 250k a week and the next best paid guy would be at around 100k a week (Walcott I think).

No we can't splash 70m and put players on that kind of money, but from now on we need to be more flexible.

I didn't even want to touch the subject that, despite the talks of 70m pounds available to Wenger we have spent zilch so far, but there you go.
It's nearly August, my Lord! Zero pounds sterling spent so far.

Pretty hard to take this current Arsenal board seriously if you ask me.
 
I'm just not sure if your argument is valid though.

Has any of our current players been moaning about their current wages? Which means that there can't be that much of a problem with what our players get?

Do any of our transfer dealings not complete because of wage demands? Not that I know of?

These should be the two indicators of whether we are paying enough IMO.

Also we wanted to smash our wage structure to keep our best players Cescy and Persie so there is a willingness there if they feel it is worth it. The same way Rooney is getting paid what he is now because at the time he was indespensible to the club.

Also giving your Better players all the same wage rise as a newcomer is dangerous also. It is all very subjective, if players think they have had a good season they will then ask for the same wages and then where do you stop? If your team wins he league (haha I know) and 5 players have outstanding seasons do they all deserve to be on 150k a week? This is when the trouble starts and why you have to be careful about raising wage structures so easily.

For me Wilshere still has a lot to prove to get 150k a week and Cazorla was great last season, but let's see how he does in the next couple before we start paying him 150k a week as well. You can't just throw money around.

Anyway it doesn't matter, I wish we could act in that way but it isn't sustainable IMO.
 
Once again, I'm not saying we have any history of having transfer talks broken down because of wages talks.
And while we don't have anyone currently complaining, the pressure to raise a player's pay comes when they have 1 or 2 years left in their contracts - especially if they are in fine form.
That's when I think the step forward in terms of increasing our wages ceiling will have to be taken. If we bring Suarez in, I think it's understood he will be around 150k a week. And this would inevitably become the reference for future salaries, when the time comes to renegotiate contracts with our top players.
I'm just citing Wilshere and Cazorla right now as an example, but who knows in 2 years time it could be Koscielny, Ox or Giroud who could be on spectacular form and negotiating for a pay rise in their next contract.

This is an inevitable process if the club wants to compete IMO. And I don't think it's unsustainable, if the reports of our increased yearly revenue are true (stadium debt paid, new shirt sponsor deals, etc.)
It will be a question of how we will spend those reported 70m a season. We won't have to spend everything of that in transfer fees. What I'm thinking is that we might be able to use that added income to invest inside our squad from now on, in other words, paying better our players and being able not only to retain them but attract other top talent.

In order to get a respectable bunch of world class players in we will have to be paying more than we do now, there's no two ways about it.

Now that the financial situation will be better the club will need to step up, like in the old days when we spent 13m for Sylvain Wiltord which was a lot of money back then. We will simply have to do what the market dictates top of the table teams to be doing.

On another note, just a while ago I was listening to Arseblog hangout with 5 Arsenal bloggers and they were debating Suarez stuff and Wenger's words in press conferences.
What really got on my nerves were the Wenger quotes saying we can compete for the title as it is without signings. This is where Wenger begins to sound more like a politician and less like the top manager he is. While one can understand he wants to boost the confidence of his current players, he didn't need to say that. He actually sounds deluded and ridiculous saying that. Anyone knows the squad is good but we must improve a lot.
Saying we can compete for the title is an outright lie anyone can see - we weren't nowhere near good enough last season and this season so far we've only signed a youngster on a free while others around us are already strengthening.

This summer we don't have any sagas involving wantaway stars, we are the only club among the top 4 keeping their manager and yet somehow we are making life difficult for ourselves.
 
I just don't know why your saying what your saying?

You say we should offer more money for new signings, then you mention we are offering 150k for Suerez?

You say we should pay our better players more money we offered two of our recent best players much more money, we gave Walcott the top earnings at the club, he was our top performer.

It sounds like your arguing with yourself and providing the answers that Arsneal are actually doing what you want them to do?

There is no evidence that our wage structure is hampering us? As I pointed out with no player deals falling through because of wages and current players unhappy with their wages? Which should be the two indicators for proving your point regarding wages.

Now paying actual transfer fees and getting our business done early I can agree with but your points about wages are confusing and was the initial thing we were talking about.

Although also you point about transfer fees seems to be being addressed as it seems like we are offering silly money for Suarez at the moment.
 
Oh dear I must be arguing with myself indeed :P

I'm just saying what I'm saying about wages because we clearly can't compete until we increase our wages ceiling.
We made Walcott the top earner at around 100k a week, which isn't anywhere near what superstars would be demanding to join Arsenal.

The fact we haven't got any contract rebels complaining about their salaries also tell you that they're not the calibre of players that will help us to the Premier League title.

I for one think that our wage structure hampers us, it belittles us when faced with both Manchester clubs and Chelsea. Superstars looking to join the Premier League will have expectations Arsenal can't currently meet.

I'm saying this in the face of the ridiculous claims by Gazidis and Wenger who said Arsenal could go after Wayne Rooney if they wanted to.

The club is in the transition to increase its investments, hence the bid for Suarez. From now on the club will have to decide if it will join the top dogs for real or remain where they are content with CL revenue.
 
I think our players are the calibre to get us challenging we just need a few more of them to have a better squad and to move forward. So I think it is feasible to get more players like Giroud, podolski, Cazorla, Mert, Koscielny and not go crazy with wages.

I don't think our wage structure hampers us, I think us not being able to compete with buying the players initially was the problem. This year we finally have things coming into place and the news of our bid for Suarez seems to back that up. But of course us spending that kind of money wil lead to bigger wages of course.

You say the claims we're ridiculous by Wenger and Gazidas but only from your post before you were saying how possible it is with our new finances that we can pay those wages? So why is it ridiculous hey said it? Because straight afterwards they didn't buy a player and pay him 250k?

We can't compete with Chelsea and Man city at all wih wages they can pay each one of their players 250k a week and be fine. If they want a player badly enough they will get them over us. Man united is the biggest club in the world so will still be ahead of us in that respect but they still can't afford to pay all of their players 250k like Rooney....Rooney was a special case, just like Cescy and Persie were for us and we were willing to smash our wage structure for.

The things you are complaining about arsenal seem to be addressing or tried to address quite recently regarding wages that is why I can't understand why you are talking like you are about wages?

Anyway we are repeating ourselves as usual......the new season musty not be far away :DD

Yeah we seem to be repeating again :P
The thing I'm complaining about Arsenal (Gazidis and Wenger's stance) was saying they could challenge with the team as it is, without signings. This is a huge eye opener right there.
I know the club is making a statement by going after Suarez for so much money, but it still doesn't mean anything. And what if we don't get Suarez, and, come deadline day, nothing else was done in the way of strengthening the squad?
I was relatively calm during this transfer window up until recently before reading those quotes. It's definitely time for them talk less and do more. A lot more!
 
I say either pay Liverpool £50m or buy another striker . The damage to Suarez is done , him stuck at Liverpool. No other club wants him lol . I'm sure Michu would be right for a few quids for starters.

We surely can't compete with Man City or Chelsea, but that doesn't explain our infertility in the transfer market.

I think what Rentboy is referring to is something that is not explicitly announced, but remnants of the problem can be inferred by observing our policies in the recent years of the transfer market. We can't directly tell the club and Wenger's approach, because not every negotiating step is revealed to the public, but the results lead us to certain conclusions.

There may not be direct complaints about the wage structure from the squad, but it surely must have played at least a minor role in some departures. Each case really had its exceptions (Cesc, Flamini wanting to return to home countries; Adebayor demanding outrageous money; VP trophy demand: Song just being ....). But the exception is, probably, a signifacant pay rise might have convinced those players to stay. Also, higher wages might have attracted the key players required for trophies, thus eliminating another reason of departure.

Most recently, Walcott's saga directly exposed this issue. And you say the club is 'trying to answer' the problem now, but it was really up until the last minute that Wenger agreed to sign. (Which it can be argued if Walcott really deserves it, but that's a tangent topic).

Now, about the transfer fees and player wages. Again, we say Wenger is trying to address it, but if so, where are the results? So far we have a repeat of previous seasons with insufficient and incomplete offers. And, failures to swoop in for potential candidates. We could have easily gotten Villa or Jovetic. Or we could have already signed Julio Cesar or Mignet, etc. But we haven't made any significant offers for any of them. We don't really know why none of these transfers went through. It is possible that Wenger never intended to buy them. But, if he did intend, then the reasons were probably financial. We can argue as a tangent if players are worth their price tag, but that is not the issue. The issue is if you truly want a player, you pay the price, sometimes even if it is above ideal ranges. Sometimes they pay off i.e. Mata. Sometimes they don't so much i.e. Carroll or Torres.

Another point I would like to make is the competition. Yes, if sugar daddy clubs swoop in, we don't stand a chance. But in certain cases this is directly our fault. In the case of Mata, we were negotiating for him for weeks on end. (Most likely due to financial reasons). Then Chelsea swooped in and finished the deal in a matter of days. It could be argued that it is our fault for dragging things out and giving your competitors a chance to swoop in.

Similar to Hazard. We were linked with Hazard in the media almost a year before interest in him exploded. There were practically no other clubs directly linked to him (in terms of specation. Regardless, he was a great prospect and surely, scouts from many clubs were watching him). You can easily say that we should have pressured a deal to sign him back then, rather being inactive, where a year later Chelsea, Madrid, Man City, Barca would do an all out battle for him.

Again, we say we are trying to change it recently by offering Suarez 150k a week and paying up large transfer fees. But where are the results? Making bids shows nothing in terms of resolute. It's already August and we have made no signings, not even in the calibre of Gignac. (Sanogo doesn't count. He's just a prospect). We could make a record-breakkng bid for Ronaldo for 70m €, but going around making bids doesn't mean we are determined to change anything until the deals are finalized.

We will see again with the case of Bernard. I doubt the club will show true resolute to crush competing interest from Shakthar.

I am sure there are multiple factors for each example I brought up. But it doesn't change the reality of the situation. More money spent on transfer fees and player wages gets you better players. PERIOD. I choose to believe the unofficial story going about that it was the stadium payments holding us back, and that we can finally spend big with the additional sponsorships coming in as well. But, as long as this season things remain the same, that story will turn out to be BS as well.

I believe, at the end of the day, Wenger really can't bring himselft to accept the inflated prices in the market. He choses to buy players, but when negotiates go on and prices go up I think he just goes "Damn it. This guy isn't worth that much! Is he really that much better than Wilshere/Arteta/Giroud/etc. at the end of the day?!" and retreats back. Honestly, I don't blame him too much. I go through the same struggle in my FM2013 games :D But, the problem is that he has recently also not gone in for logical and economical transfers that would really help the squad. i.e. David Villa and Julio Cesar would be signings most people would applaud as great additions to the squad. But maybe this time around, he was really tempted to go for someone shinier than Villa whose star seems to be fading. Who knows :) Like I said, there can always be multiple sides. Maybe, he just outright doesn't like to spend money.

Regardless, at the end of the day, I will support Wenger as I'm a huge fan. But it is clear as day that this roster is really 3-4 players away from challenging for anything.
 
I agree with 90 percent of your post. Not with the part about Hazard. Hazard was taling with Spurs and of Chelsea hadn't won the CL, he would have played for Spurs. Hazard wanted to play CL and by winning the CL, Chelsea assured themselves of CL football the season after and Spurs weer out of it. That changed Hazard's mind.
 
I would love to answer all of your points but I am on an iPhone and I don't think my thumbs can take it! :))

We did business pretty early last year and have spent a lot of money in the last couple of seasons.

For me recent actions show that they are willing to break the wage structure for our best players.

This is the first season really where the shackles are off, we have got rid of the majority of deadwood and I believe from the rumors we are after a lot of players and willing to spend the money.

Basically if Wenger doesn't buy anyone this summer and the team don't perform next season he is out of a job. There is no doubt in my kind about that.

But from what I have heard and seen, I think we will buy at least a couple of players, but as the days go on it does leave you thinking they can't be that stupid. Time will tell.
 
Haha, yes Gerd. You are most likely correct. I added the portion inside the parantheses thinking I thought I was not fully accurate and that you would probably correct me. I'm sure you know the saga much better than me, in fact, anything Belgian I would just ask you. But the first time I had heard of Hazard was through speculation in the Guardian linking him to Arsenal a year before his transfer. After that summer, his profile exploded immensely and then that crazy competition to get him began.

Bobby, I wrote my post on my iphone so take that :D That also explains my typos such as Mignet (Mignolet).

I agree with you that this should be a do or die season for Wenger as therr are no excuses left to hang on to. However, the way the club is behaving doesn't seem like they are preparing for such a scenario.

I really hope they do buy, but if the Suarez deal doesn't go through, then there really aren't any other top strikers around in the market. Which is why I'm so puzzled as to why Wenger didn't but Villa. Especially considering we were a nudge away from signing him up during the winter break (assuming the transfer stories weren't completely made up). He would have fit perfectly in our system complementing Giroud, which seems to be an issue of concern that led to us passing on Jovetic as someone else wrote here.

Also, I don't get why we don't buy Julio Cesar. He's practically on a free from QPR AFAIK. He had an impressive season, just recently won the Confederations Cup, he's already living in London, and he has loads of experience under his belt to lead the defense and tutor Szcz. Why don't we just sign him up already? There are practically no other options more logical than him. Unless we're looking for a permanent long-term replacement for Szcz, which in that case, why not buy Mignet :D

I also feel that the club could be doing more to get more-promisong wonderkids. I mean we have a lot of promising youth, but it really isn't benefiting us at all. 2-3 years back Ryo (sp?) was supposed to be a next prodigy. And many other like him. But there have been very few players who have made a significant contribution. Whereas, look at Dortmund, Munich, Juventus, etc. they all have world class Wonderkids that are much more exciting. We have Ox and Wilshere who can count now as candidates for future World stars. But, look at dortmund. Ilkay Gundogan is only 22. How old is Reud and Gotze who make up the deadly attacking force of the German national team?

I'm just saying we could be doing a lot better overall.

I bow to you typing all of that on your iphone :-)

I would have loved to have got Villa, but we wouldn't have got him for 3 million or whatever the other team paid for him, it would have been more like 15m that was what was being banded around. He is 31 and has had injury problems. So I can see why we maybe didn't go for him, but I would have still liked to have seen it go through.

Jovetic we do not even know for sure if we were actually thinking of him? or if it was paper talk? but of course I would like to have seen him at Arsenal.

Cesar the same I agree with you.

Also Higuian - even though I don't think he is worth 35 million.

I think we could be doing much better in a lot of areas, the youth thing is hard because there are not many top teams that bring through a lot of amazing youth products. I think we can do better, but so can a lot of teams. But we have a good young core of players (Not all youth products of course).

I think buying players this season is the problem, I really don't think that wages was/is the problem though which was the initial discussion.

I agree with everything else.....not everything but you know ;-)
 
Nothing new, no ins no outs... August is nerve wrecking as ever :P

We have those 3 still to offload, but it seems tricky.
Bendtner is somewhere in Mayfair on his underwear vandalising vehicles at night.
Chamakh is smoking shisha in those Edgeware Road bars.
And Park is enjoying Parklife.

Life's too good for these 3 with the salaries Arsenal has been paying, so why would they want a change?

From twitter:

Wenger's bid of £1.33 for a bread roll has been rejected by a local bakery in London.The bakery have demnded £2.
 
It's surprising Suarez hasn't been throwing non-stop tantrums to coerce Liverpool to let him leave. Especially considering his problematic nature.

That's what all our players seem to have done, and I think that's what Wenger was counting on in terms of having the transfer go through at the lower rate.
 
2 pounds for a roll?? Wenger has left Waitrose and he's headed to ASDA now.

The thing with Suarez is that, for a bitey racist, he's not as big a cunt as Van Persie. Or at least nowadays they don't make cunts as they used to.

:TTTH: Robin's a great lad, that's why you lot didn't win anything with him, he's too nice, once you get a cunt like Suarez you'll be back to vintage Arsenal ;)
 
I really hope we do get him. At first I was very hesitant, but over time I have grown really accustomed to the idea to the point where I am getting impatient over his signing.

I hope Wenger signs Julio Cesar and a midfielder as well.
 
We need a another striker especially w/ Gervinho looks to be heading out. Suarez is a nice gesture ,but I think big teams didn`t want him. His options are very few and btw. the only thing positive for him will come to Arsenal and clean his reputation a little and maybe head out to Italy or France.

There are a few top players and Giroud seem to be Wenger`s 1st choice so a SS/LW would be a formidable prospect. I rather we do something then wait, and wait. Our both GK has injury issues we need another GK ffs!
