Does the whole Sanchez and Ozil contract issues prove Wenger can't buy and then manage big players?
{Ed025's Note - no, it means players are greedy glenn..

Are they greedy or hungry for competitive football Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - a bit of both i suppose G62, but mainly greed mate..

Do you think that's the case with those two ed? There allegedly been some big money put down for them.
{Ed025's Note - much wants more SLB, they know that these days someone will pay the fee and wages and money is power, would they go to PSG if they were offered a pay cut to join where they would win things?..ill let you decide mate..

Mesut will go to Utd or Turkey and Sanchez City in my opinion and we can nothing to stop them. Our only remaining chioces are to take whatever money we can get n January or watch them go where ever they chose for free in the summer.
Even if it's £20 million for the pair surely it's better to take something rather than nothing when the outcome is going to be the same regardless.

Top players who want to win leagues want to play at top teams under top managers. At the moment we don't fit that bill.

Exactly neymar didn't join psg because of the sites in Paris all about money and greed.

Money is obviously a factor but more so when players are frustrated at the lack of competitiveness and ambition. The Ozil and Sanchez situation shows Wenger was capable of making marquee signings but unable to build on that by adding continual quality and improving the team. Had we been winning leagues and competing in the CL negotiating new deals for them both would have been a far easier process. Fact is they look at the team with the same frustrations we do. Mediocre players compared to the top sides in the league. People can point the finger at them but reality is they are good enough to be playing with a higher level of player than we have put around them and those teams are willing to pay them well to do that. No brainer as much as it pains me to say it. Doesn't excuse any lack of effort or attitude though.

I don't doubt greed in players ed but I don't think it's the sole factor in this particular case.
{Ed025's Note - it will always be a major factor for me SLB although i blame the agents myself...i hate them with a passion mate..
