I blame the transition between two wage "strategies".
Up until a few years ago, Wenger preferred a more egalitarian wage structure, which resulted in lesser players being compensated nearly as much as the greater ones.
Then Theo's contract talks happened, and Wenger decided that keeping Theo was worth breaking the egalitarian wage rule. Ozil came the next summer and obviously he commanded a much larger salary. That season Ramsey played like a god, so it was only fair and sensible that he be offered a similarly high salary. Then Alexis. Et cetera, et cetera.
I think the time has come again for us to chop off "dead wood". Arteta is definitely a player who has one of the larger salaries at the club and does not warrant it, despite his much-cited "dressing room leadership". If Wenger is not going to use them regularly, he should sell Arteta, Walcott, and Rosicky. They're all fine players, but they are paid to much for bit-part roles.
