Why do we let the contracts be like this?

How is it possible that we let important players like Nasri and Van Persie run their contracts out until the last year? For example Modric has been whining about leaving Spurs for two seasons already, yet he still has like 2 years more in his contract.

Why do we renew the contracts of people like Djourou in a much anticipated way, but when it is about the main players, this happens?

It's more profitable in a variety of ways.

Forget the focus upon Arsenal and whether they have an ability to extend contracts with key players. Some of our best players are leaving because they have short careers and they dont believe (after seven, nearly eight years) that Wenger's and Boards stewardship and wage cap is capable of winning anything. End of story!

Djourou had an extension clause in his contract. We had to extend it.
