THE WENGER THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Jesus. That can't be true? :shock: £3.6million a year at his level?

If true, that is insane. How can you motivate a young player? After a season he's rich and set for life either way... :roll: :|

Can't be true, can it? 70K a week??!! Even at Arsenal with Wenger??!! :shock:


Apologies read the article in Standard too fast, apparently Debuchy on £70K a week....Jenkinson on £45K a week

so still a tidy £2.3 million a year......pay the bills i suppose

How did contract negotiations reach the level, that Jenkinson was offered 45K a week? Surely if the club had offered him 20K a week he would have accepted it. We got him from Charlton after all, obviously we vastly improved his wages.

Wenger pays top dollar for their loyalty....it's like he's running an orphanage for young boys. Not even the Chinese would pay Walcott 100k pw. Wenger gives him 140.

That's not a bad wedge for just training, he don't even have to travel up north or anything as he's never in the match day squad.

Add in Mertsackershit, Sanogoals (wherever he is) Gibbs, with Carzola and we must have £250, 000 -£300,000 a week literally wasted on non-playing members of staff.

Even on £45k a week it's absolutely crazy money for zero return. :shock: :roll: We really really need to go back to the old apprenticeship system. Make the yoofs clean boots, clean the dressing room, clean the showers - all on a livable wage. And then, and only then, when they have actually EARNED the right, we look at promoting them and increasing their pay.

Deluded and well on his way to undo all the good work in the early days.

Apologies - really not sure what happened, I saw it had repeated it once so edited to the double post, but when I looked again there were quite a few more !!!

Can I just say what a great job the mods do, fully deserve their £50,000 a week wage.
