Arsenal prepared to slash prices by TS
So the transfer window is closing all the more quickly now it would seem, and Arsenal’s board are beginning to panic. Panic? Really? Well, yes, it would seem they are. Apparently, the board is fed up with fringe players sucking the life out of our wage budget and are prepared to cut their asking prices on certain players.
Joyful days ahead then, or so it would seem. Clubs around the world should now be lining up outside our stadium, making ludicrous offers to remove the likes of the Bendtner’s and Park’s and Chamakh’s of our world from our squad sheets. If Arsenal were a clothing store this would be their summer, 50% off SALE!
So why the sudden panic from the board you ask? Well, it all started a couple of years ago when we bought unknown players, paid them high wages and gave them long contracts. Fast forward to today, and those unknown players are now bad players who no longer appear on the bench, much less the first team, their high wages are still high and their long contracts don’t look to have taken a dent. Either that or the board wants to makes an extra buck or two to tile their toilet seat in gold.
So great idea, in theory at least. I think I’ve said this before somewhere but until it gets through to that Ivan character, I’ll keep saying it. No one wants these guys because of their wages. Not because their transfer fee is a little high! We could give these players away for free and we wouldn’t get a nibble from clubs because let’s call a spade a spade. Who is going to pay £50k per week for Squillaci?
The fact of the matter is that unless we can shift these players out the door, no one else is going to pay those wages but us and who suffers? We do. The fans. We pay. If I had one wish, I’d wish we do sell all of these guys, but then I still wouldn’t feel happy. The board would get rich, not reinvest the money and probably end up repeating the mistake. So if I could wish for one thing, I’d wish these players stay. Run our wage bill down. Then, when their contracts finally do end, maybe the board will wake up and realize that they need to change the way things are done.
