With this recent comment in mind can you think of the last time a star

[Dorset Gooner]

player has signed a new contract with us? Just wondering like
On Walcott, he added: "I don't want to go into any details [over wage negotiations], but you can believe me [that] we do the maximum we can to keep our best players."

do we tear up the wage structure to keep our players, or accept that at some point their earning power will exceed our club?

I suppose Vermaelen signing a new deal last season would be the closest thing to answering your question.

Probably Henry in that case, and then he f**ked off a year later anyway.

I didn't class Tony Adams as a star, great defender as he was.

A star, to me, is a Bergkamp/Pires/Henry a player with that bit of extra quality.
