ARSENE CANNOT COMPETE: Hamstrung by 17 man rule

[Babatunde]

Arsene has an excuse: we cannot go into the transfer window and compete for quality foreign players because the rules prevent more than 17 non-domestic players being retained.

So how has our allocation been used and is it true that Wenger "cannot compete" with Citeh/Chelski?

Every season, France Football publish the Premier League squads wages estimates, as do the IFFHS.

So far for the six months of this season, this is what the Arsenal non domestic players (that we need to shift first to make room) have earned. Let me know if you still think Arsene "is safeguarding our future".

Six months wages for 2011-12 season so far:

Sebastien Squillaci: £1,440,000 GBP
Choo Park: £726,900 GBP
Marouane Chamakh: £1,560,000 GBP
Andrey Arshavin: £1,550,000 GBP
Tomas Rosicky: £1,420, 500 GBP
Johan Djourou: £1,320,000 GBP
Abou Diaby: £1,446,300 GBP
Lukasz Fabianski: £840,000 GBP
Manuel Almunia (zero PL minutes played): £1,538,000 GBP
Yao Gervinho: £1,212,000 GBP
Vito Mannone: £726,500 GBP

Now. Ask yourselves for those wages and constraints on bringing in new foreign players, what these jokers have contributed please?

And this ain't just limited to foreign players btw:

Kieran Gibbs: £947,500 GBP
Theodora Walcott: £1,525,000 GBP

The best of all I shall save until last. Remember, this is the man who knew Djourou was going to be targeted for a second yellow, and did nothing.
The man who has overseen the worst start to a league season in over 58 years. The man who was responsible for our heaviest defeat in over 120 years. The man who compete ly bungled our summer...

Arsene Wenger: £3,290,000 GBP

Just FYI, this was higher - by some distance - than any other PL manager!
Including Mancini and AVB. Only Mourinho warns more anywhere in Europe.

So this is what our sustainable business model is all about

Could you provide the source for this information?

To quote SteveO, "Arsene doesn't buy millionaires......he makes them".

[Red Member]

Walcott is clearly underpaid
no wonder he wants an increase

Chamakh earns too much.
Squillachi earns too much.
Why are we still paying Diaby, Almunia and Mannone?

Pick up a copy of France Footbalk from December and it's in there.
Come on Kiwomya. I'm desperate for your latest joke apologetic excuses

Apologetic excuses? I love your mystery arguments with no one.

Great though shocking post, stick to these informative posts bab, rather than geting involved in slanging matches with some of the halfwits on here.

Will do pal

This word stands out for me so will take with a pinch of salt. If however there is some truth to the fact that Squillaci, Chamakh, Diaby and Almunia are on around £60k a week then whoever agreed those contracts needs to be taken to task.

[I Hate Hleb]

Seeing as we are playing them anyway for fuck all contribution, can we not 'de-list' some of the players and replace them in our squad?

[rodders999]

Abou Diaby: £1,446,300 GBP - 20 minutes played this season.

Now that's good work if you can get it.

That's the princly sum of 72,315 quid per minute that bean headed sick note *word censored* has fleeced our club of.

A contract extension awaits the person responsible, if anything.

Yes, but you'd have to admit they were 20 minutes of absolute quality and a mere taste of what's possible and still to come from the great man!!

(Oops, sorry - thought I was SteveO for a second there.)

Never fear IHH (or SteveO for that matter!!), the good news is our glorious leader said this about our beloved bean headed hypochondriac -

"It is a slight muscular problem, he'll be out for around 10 days."


Sadly he said this on the 9th December.

Longest 10 days ever...................

There you have it - the club need Diaby to complete the course of testosterone they have him on to make him even more of a lean, mean fighting machine when he comes back. (oh, and so his voice has time to break). Totally understandable really.
