Ox wants to leave

Well.....that, and the fact that none of the British lads seem to be renewing their contracts.
--------------------------------

They are in demand, young and quite good players in a small market. I am sure they will wait on Wenger and/or his successor.

The ones who have renewed are either not wanted by other clubs, overpaid or old. Coq, Giroud, Kos, Mertesacker. Says everything.

I'd hate to be the one handling contract negotiations at the club just before a World Cup.

I can imagine quite a few of the English lads raising a stink when it comes to assurances of playing time.

No one complains if the team is winning. And it makes sense cause they start to question why they aren't being selected when the team is losing a change is necessary. The British lads at Arsenal are more level headed anyway. Just look at the game against Liverpool. Walcott always scores against the bigger teams and he is particularly a thorn against Liverpool and Chelsea. But he wasn't selected. Unlike Alexis he hasn't thrown his toys out of his pram.

Walcott knows hes stealing a living at arsenal with his £140k per week wage.

shocking when you find out the likes of Kane, Alderwerald, Lloris, Vertonghen ect are all on way less than him (Not even hitting the 100k)

I remember OX liking a tweet recently saying "Wenger out", which the club immediately came out stating this was a mistake. I also remember during the first Munich match at one point the frustration flooding out of him. So Its clear to me that theres massive discontent in the squad and with Wengers management. I think the OX is feeling like the majority of fans...
Quality player, i for one would be gutted if he were to leave the club.

Comparing Arsenal’s wages with Spurs isn’t really a fair comparison. Basically because Arsenal have been in the CL for 19 odd continuous years.

Arsenal players will therefore command higher wages.

Each and every contract Walcott has negotiated, Arsenal have been in the CL. The same cannot be said with any Spurs player, regardless of ability.

WWSTD you can't defend some of the wages our players are earning, CL or not.

Not at all

Some of the wages we pay are excessive but it difficult to contrast with many of our ‘rivals’ due to nearly two decades of continual CL football.

In regard to TW, he attained his (current) salary over a number of contracts. For example when he signed in 2006 he was probably earning something around the 20k a week mark.

With the addition of various commercial partners along the way, (some of which will be tied to CL qualification/participation) and image rights payments, his salary has steadily increased over the years.

A player’s salary is as much related to their marketability/commercial potential, (rightly or wrongly) as their ability as a football player nowadays.

No improvement past how many seasons...another overhyped English player...Look at Sane at City ripping it up already.
