Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has warned the club that they must consider breaking their pay strcuture if they are to keep all of their best players at the club for the forseeable future. van Persie is reportedly in discussions himself with Arsenal.
"They should make sure that these players stay. Arsenal have a policy in which they will not go over a specific amount of money when agreeing the salary of a player," said the Dutchman.
"They won't pay enormous amounts of money. I think that they should go to a higher level of salary.
"If you want to keep the group together, you have to keep them happy. If you are 27 or 28, I can understand that you would make the decision to go elsewhere if you can earn three or four times as much.
"If that sort of money was also paid here, I'm sure that person would stay.
"It is the principle. It is very important that Arsenal keep these guys. This group is unique. If a number of them leave, it will be different.
"I think of myself as an Arsenal man but Arsenal should also try to make sure that we all grow together."
