It’s great news for all Arsenal fans as reports are out suggesting that Arsene Wenger has agreed to a new deal. This deal will keep him in the club until 2010.
After the good start to the season, this is another good news that’ll boost the team confidence and eliminate all uncertainties that existed. There were many claims during the pre-season that Wenger will leave the club after Dein was sacked. The rumors became strong after Henry’s 
departure when he claimed that he left because of the uncertainty over Wenger’s future. And to rub it into Arsenal fans, reports started flowing in that Fabregas was also leaving unless Wenger stays. Wenger has brushed aside any comments that he is not comfortable when Dein is not around by doing what he does best. By managing our club as usual. He signed more young prospects and for me it was pretty clear back then itself that he will stay here longer. For some reason it wasn’t clear for Henry. Either Henry was making an excuse, or Wenger refused to reveal his plans to Henry. If it’s the latter, it’s suffice to say that Wenger wasn’t keen on keeping Henry at the club. So far his departure has only brought positives in our matches and it’d be great if it carries on.
After selling his shares, Dein has been talking about how Arsenal needs to spend big to keep up with its competition. Wenger’s reply was quick. He came out and said,
“We have a team that can develop in the next four or five years. I feel we make superstars. We have a feel for the game and the way we want to play football is linked to development and therefore you have to take your time a little bit”
“I have not seen a number of what you might call world class players. World class prices maybe but not world class players.”
Dein may have best interests for the club and he might want us to spend big. But with Arsene at the helm, that won’t happen. So what would he do? Sack Arsene? Or force him to spend big? These two options certainly doesn’t seem like one in the best interests of the club. Dein is not wanted anymore and he can spend the rest of his time with the Russian oligarch buying oil companies.
With the international matches coming up, there isn’t much happening other that some comments from Rosicky who bets he’ll score more this season, while Giles Sunu says he rejected Chelsea and ManU to join his dream club.
I’m relocating in the coming few days and i have no idea if I can get a net connection soon to keep this updated. Until then……
