So what is everyones thoughts on the possible 2 year extension that is reportedley being given to Wenger?
Im not his biggest fan but am not his biggest critic either.
Could the extention be his last chance to do something special?
1.) Im in two minds about Wenger. I believe he is going down the wrong route and is stubbornly sticking to it. Surely, he realises he needs an experienced keeper, at least one tall dominant centre back, two tall strong combative midfield players, to change formation back to his hugely successful fluid 4-4-2 formation, to release/sell the dross in the squad.
My reservation with sacking him, is that we need to replace him with a better manager and he may be achieving as much as can be expected, with the likes of Chelsea, Man City & Man U, to contend with.
2.) It looks like the extension will expire the same time guardiola is a free agent.
Not sure if it was planned that way but foresight is better than hindsight.
Also from what I have been reading even if usmanov does formally plan to acquire Arsenal, it will be a lenghty process and taking this summer as the time he initiates the process, with offers and counter offers and the FA board investigation to see if he is fit to be an owner and all that fluff, we are looking at roughly 14 months.
from when kronke bough his shares to what it is worth now. over 200 mill in profit easy, over 300 mill if my maths is correct.
getting the deadwood off the books is essential. those players who contribute nothing aka fabianski, squillachi and Arshavin, that's nearly 9 mill off the wage bill.
Plus all the loanee players we need to get rid off, plus the potential sales of players like Sagna and vermalen.
Not sure what the summer is going to be. but if we wait till the end of the transfer window to get players, its likely we are being misers over a fee and very likely the player will move elsewhere.
Lakerville.
3.) Never again, leave sir wenger
4.) I think it's a completel disgrace- he has under performed, at least as far as a lot fans feel.
Yes the board want to 'reward' him with a new contract? Oh but of course, he makes them money.
5.) I hope that he does not get offered a contract extension as it will then be another 2 years at least without a trophy. The previous post referred to "deadwood", but Wenger bought these players so it is his fault we are left with underachievers. As for Gervinho, he is the worst player I have seen in years at Arsenal and yet he still plays - shocking! It is time for the Club to show some courage and sack him now, regardless of the result of the Bayern game beacuse at least then we can appoint a new Manager who can start to bed in before the end of this season.
6.) I am not sure I believe it, but simply because it's the last thing I want and imo a terrible idea proving he is rewarded for mediocrity, it also wouldn't surprise me if it was true.
Sadly the only thing we can do is sit back and wait and see what materialises.
7.) AW gets a percentage of the profit on player sales and he has been offered the contract extension to complete player sales. Young inexperienced players will be brought in and expect Sagna, TV5, Arteta, Kos to leave this summer.
Guaranteed we will not be using any 70mil budget, which is media hype.
I don't actually enjoy our football these days and I never in a million years ever thought I'd feel this way.
Feel for Wilshere and Santi. They deserve better players around them. We could have had the team City have.
HSM
8.) Sorry Arsenal, but another pack of lies regarding the 70M spend in the summer - we all know that this will not happen unless of course we sell Wilshere, Cazorla and Vermaelen and who would back against this happening so that the greedy Board can line their pockets even more!

Its not true, there's no 2 year contract offer
Paul
10.) No, no, a million times no, enough is enough, time for Wenger to exit the club
11.) Please leave Wenger while you still have some dignity.
Ash
12.) Disgraceful from you guys. the man cares about his team more than y'all. accord him the respect he deserves. if and when he leaves. remember him for his achievements and what he has setup for the ext man.
13.) Made up story by the sun, just to stir up Arsenal fans. Steven Howard's a person
14.) If wenger is sacked at the end of the season a good replacement could be the current bayern manager has he did wonders with the defence and not conceding for 8 game in open play (until Arsenal). So of he could do that with our defence then we would go far

I know we might not have any interest in him, but is anyone watching Fulham v QPR? If you are, how pathetic is Christopher Samba nowadays?
Not the same monster who played for Blackburn a couple of seasons ago
