Arsenal's AGM - 'Stormy'.

[jurgen]

budget cut to 13m for the summer, and wenger saying Perez at Real would be interesting and only admitting "in general" he doesnt break contracts. Please make this happen:hump:... no other coach in world football would be able to compete there seriously with 13m a summer either :beer:

Who said it was £13million?

Who said it was £13million?

The daily mail, if you believe them...

 

[Kyras]

To play in the reserves behind Toure, Iniesta & Xavi?

If Fabregas were to become available, Barca wouldn't say no, they would probably move Iniesta to LW, where he is more than comfortable, and end up with something like this

Fab Toure Xavi
Messi Eto'o Iniesta

Or if Eto'o refuses to sign his contract, then Henry up top instead of him and they'll cash in whilst they can.

No way will Wenger leave, he's just saying it to put some pressure on the board and the fans to remind them he has other options; he doesn't like to leave projects unfinished and he won't work in an environment where he has far less control.

I'm certain he'll have more money than that too - Adebayor looks likely to go for one, possibly RVP. I'm not convinced that they'll have to sign half a squad to do well next season - since Arseshavin came in their form has been very good against the non-top 4 sides, and Manyoo won the title this season with a terrible top-4 record. Moreover they've been hit hard by injuries this season - Walcott and Fabregas fit next season and a new striker + Hangeland should be a big boost and I can see them challenging for the title. I also doubt that they'll be as stupid to leave out Arseshavin in the domestic cups next season.

So all in all I think people are talking about their demise far too early - of course if they do lose important players this summer and Chelsea keep Hiddink while Liverpool spend 50 million as claimed, they could be in trouble, if trouble means being forced to be content with 4th.

Surely the question of Hiddink has been settled. I thought it was nailed on that he was going.

If arsenal get rid of wenger it will be the worst thing they can do. Actually i'd love for them to get rid off him, the whole club is based around him, from the top down, it makes me sick to see their u18s and reserves playing with the same passing and movement as the 1st team. This can only happen when a manager has been there as long as he has and has imprinted his mark on the whole club.

It's going to be very hard for them to win the league in the next coming few years, if Wenger did get fed up and go, there will be huge pressure on whoever comes in to replace him. If they spend money then the board, fans will be expecting instant success, if it doesn't happen I don't think the manager will get as much time as Wenger has got without a trophy.

Hopefully this will lead to them destabillising!!!
