Have Arsenal not learnt anything?

seen as he is good enough to sttart for us, should he gget starters pay>

This is a matter of principle. Teenage footballers should not be on any more than 25k a week. But nowadays it's just normal

I agree that footballers are paid too much generally, but you cant single out OX. He is now a full international. In the current climate £35k seems reasonable.

if you don't give them enough they will think leaving for bigger hunt

Gazidis is just a complete incompetent joke. The sooner he goes the better.How did this guy con his way into our club?

He should be busting a gut to keep RVP and to sign some new players as well as getting our deadwood off the wage s bill.

The OX is under contract so can't leave even if he wanted to. Let's give him another season before we start thinking of upping his money.This is certainly not a priority.

Interesting how we all slag off bankers and other rich gits for earning millions at the expense of the poor; and yet football fans don't seem to mind players earning similar amounts and hardly batting an eyelid about it.

funny old game, football. lol

Just think the amount of wages we would have saved with jack if we waited awhile as he was injured all season
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack was on something like £10k a week. He could have left if we hadnt given him a new deal. He's loyal, but even loyal people want to see commitment from the other side too.

Not giving JW a pay rise back then would have been foolish, just as it would be foolish now to try and string OX on for as long as possible on low wages.

Its a comletely different situation. Bankers are stealing our money openly and we have no choice but to open our wallets. Its called extortion.

You have a choice with football to not subsrcibe to Sky and not go to matches.

Also the real thieves in the banking world earn several times what even the highest paid footballer earns.

Similar thing happened with wilshere, don't think ox has justified an increase of wages yet though.

Maybe not at club level, but he is now an English international and plays the European Championchip. That determines his value. An increase to 45k is probably just enough to fend off any interest at the moment. However, I guess in a couple of years we might have to double it again....

Well not in the UK but Madrid and Barca are financed by banks and their fans don't bat an eyelid when they lose or spend millions!
