Bit weird they need that explained to them though, as professional footballers. Might it be more a case of attempting to force by contract what they should be earning by merit? Which would signify a pretty bad attitude? And then, of course, you have to consider the agents and the fact they do nothing in the best interests of the club - quite the contrary. Corporatism and sport don't mix, if you value any of the traditional characteristics of football that made it local and fan focused. I mean look at that shitty excuse for a shirt we were wearing today. Adds a whole new meaning to playing for the shirt.

Maybe, except they’ve already done the merit bit - looks to me more like they just want assurances that it will be a fair fight, and that they won’t get dumped back to the bench simply because a bigger, more expensive name is available.

Possibly Ainsley also wants some clarity over his role, and our plans for his development, which I think is reasonable - he’s eaten a lot of shit from the fans over the last couple of years for inconsistent performances, when the truth is he’s been shunted around all over the team, doing whatever job he’s been asked, and with very little guidance or training until Arteta took over. If he’s not going to play his favoured CM then I think he’s ok with that, but I also think he has a right to ask where we do want him to play, and if he’s going to be trained in that role properly. Again, if we’re expecting him to earn his place on merit, then the odds are always going to be stacked against him when someone like Bellerin can spend 100% of his time training to be the be best RB he can be, while his own focus is split between covering RB, LB, CM, RW, LW, etc.

I’m sure there’s also an element of contract negotiation going on too, but, again, it’s probably fair. I think Ainsley is on half what Tierney and Soares are earning, and a quarter of what Bellerin and Kolasinac are on, when he’s easily better than 2 of those guys and en par with the other 2. And Emi will certainly be earning nowhere close to Leno’s £100k/wk - he’s from a poor background in Argentina, and probably supporting his whole family, so I can’t blame him for wanting to take advantage of this run in the team. At 27, he really needs to start making these things count. I certainly don’t think you can accuse Emi of being a merc - he’s waited patiently for a lot of years for his chance, and you could see his much playing for guys club means to him after the FA Cup final.

We’ve won as many trophies in 29 days as Spurs have in 29 years.

I guess that page needed a bit of, *ahem*, padding
