Another above average player who we would be best moving on.
It was obvious decision to move him on 2 years ago. Instead we gave him contract, and then less than year after we gave him contract we gave him a new contract.

I am not sure why so many on here think this. I always thought he was a stop gap. Was never really Arsenal quality. Cazorla masked his weaknesses.... When next will we have a santi in the midfield?What has happened to Coqqy? He is barely recognisable anymore. What was a great prospect is now a pretty poor EPL reserve. Can't pass, could never shoot, alarm bells ring every time he goes to tackle.

Players like this epitomise what is wrong with this club.
We paid £0.9m for Coq and . Man U paid £40m for Matic.If Wenger was a new manager who came into this club I would actually give him credit for getting some of the results he has with guys like Coq and Elneny in midfield.
Of course the fact that he's the one responsible for every player at Arsenal being here nullifies all potential credit.
The club possesses vast sums. The crux of the matter is that Mourinho or whoever it was, identified Matic as an essential purchase, the club splashed the cash and got the player. Wenger/Arsenal don't do this enough.We paid £0.9m for Coq and . Man U paid £40m for Matic.
When you have the money to spend £40/50m on every player( and some squad players) management is a whole different ball game
So people keep saying. Wonder why we never see much of it?The club possesses vast sums.
If I had to venture a guess, Kroenke is what I'd say. He's quite well known for being frugal with his sports teams in the States, and his acquisition of Arsenal came at our post-Emirates austerity era.So people keep saying. Wonder why we never see much of it?
Perhaps it's because of his 57% win rate, av finishing pos 2.74, averaging a trophy every other year, that he's worth half of Pep's salary. Just a suggestion.It's a shame Wenger seems content with this situation, however Kroenke isn't being frugal with Wenger's salary.
He's been on high wages post-Emirates, meaning the trophies argument isn't valid, as he's only won three FA Cups in that time frame. Guardiola and Mourinho are paid more than he is, but they have also been more successful and work for financially bigger clubs.Perhaps it's because of his 57% win rate, av finishing pos 2.74, averaging a trophy every other year, that he's worth half of Pep's salary.

Meaning his current extortionate wages are a result of past successes and his ability to keep Arsenal vaguely competitive within a budget.
Shouldn't we, as fans, yearn for more?
Somewhat debatable bro. Mourinho' finished below Wenger for the last two years and still he's paid a lot more.He's been on high wages post-Emirates, meaning the trophies argument isn't valid, as he's only won three FA Cups in that time frame.

Some people will desperately seek any opportuity to shove their agendas down your throat. It's best not to engage them.
