We're fucked. It's not Wenger agreeing these deals though, it's the board. It's not Wenger's responsibility to have player's contracts extended too.
Wenger has influence, it shouldn't haven gotten this far, I'm sure players love to pay at Arsenal but at a certain point everyone needs trophies to be satisfied, he hasnt really done much in the past few years to get closer to obtaining some, he's gotten farther away and the players know that. If you are a world class player and are over 26 years old why would go to Arsenal? Unless you are being developed by Arsene himself, I don't know why any truly great player would go there.
And I consider Santi Cazorla an amazing player but I'm talking about the top 25-30 guys in the world here.
Cazorla is probably amongst the 15 best midfielders in the world.
