Eddie and Nelson contracts were pathetic. Reality is Arsenal continue to put mediocre players on high wages, also squad players on high wages.
Anyone wondering why Arsenal are struggling with PSR only need to look at wage bill.
Tomiyasu and calafori were both on about 12-13K a week at bologna. Both players are now on 100k and 120k respectively.
Imagine giving a injured player Tomiyasu a new improved contract. Also then signing an injury prone player in calafori and giving him 10x wages he was on at bologna.
People want to complain about "injury prone" Tierney on 100k a week, or partet doesn't deserve a pay rise.
Merino went from 45-50k to 130K a week to join Arsenal. Essentially another overpaid squad player.
Zinchenko 20k a week to 150K a week at Arsenal
Jesus went from 90K to 265K a week at Arsenal.
So the so called "transfer pull" is most of time is just a massively over paying on wages for other teams rejects, injury prone players or mediocre players.
All that happens is when these players fail, the club can't shift them as no one else is dumb enough to want to pay such players wages.
Biggest myth at this football club is that edu and Arteta so called fixed the wage bill mess, that they supposedly inherited.
Now we are hearing Arsenal are being careful on wages as they don't want to disrupt dressing room harmony
