So MM, do you think it is correct for Arsenal to pay the likes of Bendtner, Denilson, Rosicky etc 40-50k a week?
I have indeed been looking at the newspaper articles online and the stories about him crashing his car but there is no mention of his wages being 20k a week.
By the way, just because he has a car worth 100k does not necessarily mean he isn't on 5k a week (which is what youths/reserves are usually on) as that would still be earning him 240k a year, so a 100k car isn't really out of question, especially if bought on finance.

Also, i have found no mention of NB, Denilson and TR being on 40-50k, could you send me the source for those? I am genuinely interested to see where people get their quotes from when talking about players' wages.

Are your carers letting you enjoy a day out in the nice weather today?


Seriously though, i've spoken to children with a higher intelligence level than yours so try not to involve yourself in other people's conversations too much.

Well given some of his earlier posts I figured he just spelled it wrong. If you go back I think you will see that as well :lol:

Where do you think our £110m player wage bill goes? That's an (very rough) average of 52K a week with our 40 man squad

It makes me laugh when the Wenger apologists argue that we

a) don't pay our top players top money
b) don't pay the youngsters top money
c) don't pay our mediocre players top money

And yet we have an incredibly high wage bill? More or less twice what Sp*rs pay in fact!

Well I'm open to explanations of where our wage money is going if those three points above are truly what the AKB's believe? Someone is earning very good money at Arsenal and I believe it's mainly the young/mediocre players that get good money as the evidence of top players leaving for more money suggests we don't pay our top players very high wages.

No surprise you like talking to children isn't it, just like your idol the manager.
Wow, you can really be such a *word censored* sometimes.

I am not aligned to any of the camps but I have not seen the "wenger apologists" (as you put it) state b) and c) in your list.

Ok so ONE poster counts for the entire "group" as you put it, in that case surely the realists could be singled out individually with some far fetched or incredulous posts.

Poor phrasing on my part. I've seen plenty but mm was an immediate example.

Hate the way people feel the need to categorise people though. I don't want wenger out so I'll probably be called an abk but I support a lot of the "realists" views too.

Cant your views just be your views?
