The headline makes for good wumming though. We won't know the true cost of either squad until next fall when the actual numbers are released. For now, we are relying on reported wages and such.
Does it please me as an Arsenal fan to know that our wage bill and Chelsea's could be closely correlated, while Chelsea gets more bang for their buck than Arsenal does? Nah. But it's nothing to throw a hissy fit over. I'm more pissed at the listless performance that the Arsenal players put forth in Dortmund than the amount of money they are making. I'm more pissed about winning 2 games out of 8 so far in PL/CL play. I'm more pissed about the formation and tactics put forth by Arsene recently. The wage bill is just a talking point. It's the quality of football that matters to me.
