I know how to make it worse. 5 words:

Park
Bendtner
Arshavin
Flappy
Chamahk

All still here and taking home £30k+ a week (in some cases double)

You're welcome :lol: :wink:

Kevin Mirallas claims he snubbed Arsenal for Everton.
Olivier Giroud also claims he snubbed Chelski for Arsenal.
Frankly, I think both are cases of laughable bollocks

No that would be like giving Rosicky a new £70k a week contract for playing 4 good games in 4 years or rewarding the shite Djourou with a contract extension and we know that would never happen.We dont run our club like that
How do you know this?

In fact what has been reported is that Rosicky took a pay cut to stay and he was never on anything near the number you're suggesting he's currently on in the first place.

Even if it is true, it proves the point that there's no pleasing some people, for example those who think Song should have got a new deal. Wenger could sign Messi for £25m and there would still be people who moaned. Just like if we'd tied RvP down to a long-term contract 2 years ago and then he'd have got injured people would use it as an example of what a mess the club is, but instead the club gets slated for letting his contract to come down. No doubt I'll be labelled as an AKB (shock horror) but it's easy to criticise the club based on subjective views.

What's not surprising though is the number of comments - mainly from foreign gooners - slagging the writer off for even daring suggest what he did, even though most on here would say he is 100% right!! :banghead: :banghead: :oops: :roll:

I guess if you watch match of the day or a brief highlighy package, you would assume that song was a key player last season, obviously what they omit are the shit bits of which songs contribution was enourmous, crap passes, slow jogs, being easily dispossed while dawdling on the ball etc.
