With the other top Gunner Mesut Ozil also in
talks over a
new contract you would expect the German international and his people to be looking at a similar sort of deal to keep them happy as well, but revelations last week showed that such a huge pay rise for two of the players already on more money than their club colleagues would have
put us in a precarious position.
There were also suggestions the club were willing to re-open
talks over a
new contract, which had originally been
put on ice because of concerns
over the player's lifestyle.
