Van Persie scores Manure's 4th and his 19th of the season....

"Footballing reasons" :banghead:

[The JBear]

Can he?

I'm surprised that Theo is being allowed to dictate, tbh.

[Mc Gooner]

Unsettled and unhappy squad player potentially a disruptive influence and ineffective.

Would still prefer a fit and firing RvP in our team though when all is said and done :-(

[Bergkamp's Brain]

should really be taken to Dover and allowed to walk off the edge of the white cliffs

[Peter]

[Classic Jorge]

(stupid 'keep him and make him play his contract out' opinions aside, of course)

[Mc Gooner]

[Nicosia Gooner]

[Classic Jorge]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

he was sold because he was a depreciating asset who we needed to get rid off for the best possible financial compensation. Football had very little to do with it

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Spend £200M that we didn't have and offer Man City type wages, which we can't afford, in order to convince him to stay :shrug:

[ArseMart - Enjoy every sandwich]

transfers and wages?

You know, the money in the player trading account which we can spend on players without bankrupting the club.

That money.

[Ashberto]

[7evens]

Sensible that we choose not to.

Not so sensible that we choose to put a fair few poor signings on such high wages either.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

All we know is that the club's total wage bill is £143M and we have a wage structure, that is all.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

That money is actually available for transfers and wages and that the board are making it available to Wenger.

[7evens]

Just recently, we had yet another example with Traore.

Redknapp may not be flavour of the month but were his comments on Traore a huge surprise ?

The theory seemed to be based upon paying them a decent wage, in order to prevent them being seized upon so quickly by other clubs.

That obviously has its flaws :-(
