Is Cesc leaves, yes, it will take us a few months to get round it, but the midfield will be ok, he can go to Barca and sit on the bench all he wants, we still have Jack, Ramsey, Theo, Nasri, Arshavin and the rest. people have said that hes going for 45m and Eric Abidal and Maxwell, that's good enough.

If Usmanov does take over and that's a big if, baring in mind i believe Kroneke bought into Arsenal with the long term view of when clubs negoiate there own TV deals like in Spain and Kroneke has strong links with media outlets so don't see him walking wawy before that golden goose lays it egg.

Secondly Usmanov is using David Dein in his Red and white holdings company as an advisor and my guess as his chairman/ managing director if he goes ahead and takes control, David Dein is very close Wenger and Still dines with him at least once a month so don't see him Firing Wenger to bring in 'give all your money' Mourinho.

Thirdly the reason why two very shrewd businessmen like Kroneke and Usmanov have invested heavily in Arsenal is because of the strength of the shares and the way the club is run intelligently i.e buy cheap sell high and still retain CL place and good runs. So don't see them ruining this by turning Arsenal into the next Man City and spending 100M + on players without recouping at least 80M in sales.

Fourthly Wenger has pretty much named his choice for successor in Dragan Stojkovic who manages Grampus Eight and who regularly comes over to Wenger and shares his same footballing philosiphy.

And finally the new rules on spending and club debt management come in very shortly so if future participation in CL is something Arsenal want its to late to go out and massively spend without as i say selling heavy.

If am wrong please say but i think even the ED probably agrees with these.

Mourinho
Like it or not Usmanov will finally take control after the season, with David Dean returning & Mourinho replacing Wenger. Substantial funds will be provided for the new manager.

Cesc reported to be spending international break with barcelona, locals hope to be seeing him wearing the shirt very soon. Apparently the deal will take place in the summer transfer window of Cesc and 7 million for Pique and Puyol.

I don't know why everyone keeps saying if clichy leaves that we will buy izaguirre. Gibbs is going to be his replacement and then there is also traore and bothelo on loan. I don't know about traore but bothelo has been one of the best players in the Spanish 2nd league and will be a great back up left back to Gibbs and will probably get alot of game time because Gibbs is always injured.
