There must have been some thread about it in ancient times, couldn't find it in recent archives though. We talk about related topics a whole lot, but this is strictly about one specific, and seemingly unique, Arsène/al choice regarding the wage structure - and "Arsenal way" in dividing the bounty among the players.
Arsène Wenger recently talked openly about how it is not a fluke that we pay our players roughly the same - they don't all get payed a-la communist manifesto, but it is certainly less market worth thing than other places. This done on purpose, and one likes to think it has a purpose.
What is it? does it get the purpose? are such considerations legit, or they border on "moral" considerations, and should be put to the side for pragmatic ones?
How much do you see experience as telling us things related (please avoid the temptation to be simplistic here. Yes, we all heard of the USSR, and that "capitalism won". Do try to say things that do mean something).
I'll allow a lot that has to do with the above list. I'll basically not let this go too far astray: it's about our "socialistic wage structure" - good, bad and ugly (or beautiful?). Stick to it. Enjoy yourselves, boys and girls and philosophers.
