You gta think that deep down , the likes of Mustafi can’t believe they’re playing for Arsenal and earning a fortune. How he was given a new deal, he’s been decent at times but nearly all his errors are punished.

Good article! Quite worrying, but not all that surprising.
I agree with Jenius and SerialWum; I think we're making steps in the right direction (overhauling a lot of the backroom staff, for example), but it's going to take time for the issues with the old regime to fully unwind.
A lot of people talk about the need to shift deadwood, but given the salaries some of said players are on, it's likely a lot easier said than done.
The last season was particularly damaging, with 3 players soon to turning 30 in the current season
-Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, and Ozil - tied down to deals that made them among the highest paid players at the club, with Ozil - a player for whom their seemed to be limited interest from anywhere but China when his contract was expiring - being made one of the most highly paid players in the world.
These 3, along with Lacazette and Kolasinac, who were also signed last season, make up our 5 most highly paid players according to reports.
For what it's worth, I don't think Lacazette or Aubameyang were bad signings in isolation; in fact, I think in the right system and with the right players around them, either one of these could be 25-30 goal a season strikers.
But signing both just highlights the lack of direction in the club's transfers in recent times, as Emery is now forced to work out how best to accommodate two goal poachers in the same system.
The current squad lacks the balance necessary to compete at the top, and is burdened with a number of white elephants.
As mentioned above, hopefully we can clear a huge amount off the wage bill in the Summer and open up some squad spaces, but I think it will be a few years before we can fully address the flaws and imbalances in the squad.

Happy new year m8. Its been long time. good to have you back on this forum!
22 games unbeaten and it was Emery's team. Now that we were well beaten Wenger's team is back again. Love how people seems to know what our wage bill looks like.
GT missing the point of this article as per usual.
In other news, the titanic has sank.
Dont think so, Samir dont mind.

Thanks, mate - and to you!
Surprise surprise another pointless contribution from Gunnerthru. Easily the worst poster in this site.
Really think that without Kroenke putting real money in our club or risk we wont go further than this.
In the market we will always been second best and have to put with 30M signings rather than 70M signings.

Saves me from reading pointless trash comments.
A bit childish to block me only because of having a different opinion, isnt it?

GT, what did you say that was relevant? You said people are acting like they know what our wage bill is.
Our wage bill is available for all to see, it's not hard to work out the latest figures from previous years.
You can easily access it in the public domain.
AST haven't plucked these figures from thin air.

oh ffs
FSG have not put in any money into Liverpool. They have a stadium with less capacity.
I have no idea why you lot are engaging with this imbecile? GT clearly has no idea what he's on about and is still butthurt about Wenger getting the sack. Just ignore him.
And Wenger havent negogiate all our contracts.
You telling me that Liverpool bought their players all of the sell of Coutinho, right? And even though they all play for peanuts, right?
