The next person, or pundit who rolls out the fuking old and false excuse about Arsene having limited resources, needs to be told he is either being intentionally dishonest, or is ignorant to the facts.
Chelsea--------------------------£215.6m
Manchester United----------£203 m
Manchester City--------------£193.8m
Arsenal---------------------------£192m
Liverpool-------------------------£152m
Tottenham------------------------£110.5
Its not just that our wage bill is around 40% more than Spurs. But we are not far from being the biggest spenders ourselves. So why is this lie about Wenger's limited resources allowed to be repeated when it is factually inaccurate?????????????????????????????
This story also appear son the BBC and Sky Sports - so its not fake. The numbers are real.

Re: The spending myth
You are never going to have complete wage efficiency but looking at our rivals' squads over this time we have probably been overspending by about £30m a year for season after season on a conservative estimate.
For me Rosicky and Arteta sum things up. A bumper two year deal for the former was insane given that he has given us a few performances amongst a decade of injuries - if he actually offered something in the first year who the fuck would come along to trump us offering a second one-year deal? Just completely unnecessary.
Arteta - a consummate pro who put in a few seasons of consistent performances amongst utter turd and in the twilight of his career - has been a spent force for years and offers nothing. Again ludicrous to keep him on.
Mertesacker is going the same - will still be here in 2 or 3 years as a calamity option soaking up 80k a week.
Good luck ever offloading Giroud or Walcott from their ludicrous deals - I would have them training with the kids until they got the hump because it's not just that they aren't good enough - their attitudes and priorities stink. Then again what do you expect when you grossly overpay and overpromote players then protect them from any competition and repeatedly tell everyone how utterly wonderful they are?

Re: The spending myth
It's no secret that The Old Fraud has spunked away millions per season on wages for bang average and shite players 
Re: The spending myth
Mertesacker is leaving the club at the same time as Wenger, June 2017.
The Arsenal squad that starts the 2017/18 season will be hopefully unrecognisable from the current one, with BritishCore gone, Rosicky/Arteta/Flamini/Mertesacker/Cazorla all gone. Hopefully Iwobi is still here at least and the new manager likes him.

Fully agree, we, and by that I mean Wenker, not only accepts mediocrity but handsomely rewards it too -Wilson wrote:The next person, or pundit who rolls out the fuking old and false excuse about Arsene having limited resources, needs to be told he is either being intentionally dishonest, or is ignorant to the facts.

Whats good for the manager is good for the players.
I wouldn't be surprised if the players and manager get an end of season bonus for making the Champions League, so happy do they appear eacdh year the coveted 4th place is secured.
