Carl actually has some decent qualities. Good engine getting back and forth, physically strong, good crosser of the ball. Problem is he lacks concentration and is quite immature. Makes very costly basic errors. He's another English player that Arsenal bought too early and now dont know what to do with. Put him in the same category as Ox and Chambers.

Hopefully we keep him though. We could do a lot worse for hg players and I like him as a guy (gooner)

It's this type of sentiment that we cling on to these average players that prohibit us from signing actual great players, even for backup purposes.
Being a nice guy shouldn't make you earn 50-70k a week, performing like a player that earns 50-70k a week should. Bear in mind that the English wages are horrendously inflated compared to Spain/France/Germany. None of our English players would earn more than 50-60k in other countries if they were performing like they are now (Ramsey, Walcott). Players like Gibbs/Jenkinson/Chambers should be max 25-30k.

That's a fairly short-sighted view when the entire market is so inflated.
This is a league now where shit like Stoke can offer 20m plus for players, and even offer the wages to entice them to sign a long-term contract.
50-70k a week is the 20-40k of 7 years ago.
