Wenger set for crunch June meeting with Gazidis
Arsene Wenger will be holding one of his most significant meetings with the club’s hierarchy this summer.
The occasion, reported to be held after the completion of this campaign will take place primarily between the Frenchman and the club’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis, including selected members of the Arsenal board.
Wenger will be out of contract at the club by this time next year following the 2013-14 season, but the meeting will not be all about the future of the the Gunners’ boss.
Essential matters like the progress of the team and possible transfer moves will be discussed when the men gather in June, but as far as Wenger’s contract situation is concerned, the club is unwilling to offer any new deal just yet.
The 63-year-old last renewed his contract at the Emirates in August 2010 in a very profitable three-year extension which put him amongst the highest earning managers in the game.
Wenger has not only attracted strong criticism from certain frustrated Arsenal fans in recent times but some strong interest too from PSG over a return to France. Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood though, has already labelled rumours about the Frenchman moving back to his country as “nonsense”.
arsenal need to spend on world class players and sell all the deadwoods.
I say let him go asap instead of wasting time so that the new guy will have time to prepare for the new season.I believe the gunners can’t win another epl as long as the fm in charge unless he changes track with some of his policies.This is as likely as my 99year old uncle can prevent the onset of dementia.
Wenger needs to identify his targets early and go after them aggressively . This is no time to be wishy-washy as Chelsea and Manchester clubs are looking to strengthen their ranks. Sadly , if his targets happen to be same as those of the aforementioned , he won’t get his men. We are no longer part of the European elite as stigma of being labelled a selling club has stuck and world class players may look elsewhere for top wages and trophies.
why wait untill june, the good players will be all taken by then. I am sure the club knows by now who they realy want to keep, sell and buy.
AW shd be serious this time coz we can no longer afford to fight for top four, but trophys
Fuck ur meetings.
Arsenal need to sell Gazidi and Wenger , rest of the things will fall in place. Both are below average in ambition quotent.
Arsenal play like Barcelona. If you deny them time and space ,they will be in trouble. That’s the way they have been playing and I remember the rf saying he knows how Wenger likes to play. Needless to say in the cl and epl the gunners were outplayed and beatenby rf..I am very happy the gunners lost out to BM. I can’t see them getting the better of Barcelona and it would be heart breaking.
I expect BM to go through and win. Their speed of attack a nd power play overcame Barca and I expect them to win the cl.If the gunnners want to challenge,the speed of play has to be looked at. It’s predictable and even if Arsenal get wc players their tactics willl be easily countered.
I dont think wenger will go to PSG this summer, with FFP kicking in it should be good for arsenal.
I hope wenger get a two year extension, we have some wonderful young players coming through aneke, akpom, chamberlain, eisfeld, zedlom ( sorry for spelling ) yennaris, gnabry, toral . bellerin, jenkinson, even though some have come through other clubs youth teams, they came to arsenal because of wenger, I would hate to see someone come in and the media let some one else take credif or wenger’s work.
Sometimes in football, fans don’t see the bigger picture, cryuff went to barca as a manager and introduced a style of play through all the age group, it came into real fruition when spain became world and euro winners along with barca dominating nearly 15 years later.
Wenger has created a youth policy and system that will benefit the club for years, sometimes when you can’t compete, you find other ways to bring in talent thats what wenger has done.
If the board dont want to be update with player salaries thats the boards fault not the managers.
David moyes being linked to arsenal is a disgrace to all what arsene has done and all the great times he bought. Playes like fabregas, rvp, viera, overmars, heny, pires, carzola, campbell , petit, wiltord , wouldnt come to arsenal because of moyes they came because of wenger, fans need to remember this.
The grass is always greener on the other side sir, but the reality is mo. st times opposite.
We expect serious action in the transfer market as a follow up to the crunch talk.
Arsene is still d right man for Arsenal but he must real quality this time.
it is really really sad 2 c a man like aw 2 b douted 2 b honest it is tnx 2 him and people like him we all adore arsenal and fotball in genaral seyoum ethiopia
I agree with Matzat… June is a bit late to be identifying players.
In Wenger we trust… well the fans of sound mid surely do.
we have been witnessing the club being mismanaged regarding squad improvement/building for many years now.
The paying supporters have been taken for a ride since the move to the Emirates with the most expensive ticket prices in the world whilst watching each summer the best players being sold off and then struggling to reach 4th place year after year.
When we were at Highbury under Wenger we had world class players, no money, an inspirational manager, David Dein and superb consistency when buying players and an incredible amount of trophies in the cabinet
Since we have moved to the Emirates, we have no world class players, tonnes of money, a non-inspiring manager, no David Dein type figure and a very average record of bringing in a player of the correct quality and last but not least not even the league cup to celebrate.
now, have a little rethink about what you have written….
We need a world class player not average a player like before
A meeting that will result to crap. AW and Kazidi are full of sh**t
wengers ought to resign. hes earning a fortune but doing absolutely fuck all to make the team competitive. the gutless wanker has all the priveleges but none of the pressure he should be under. just wish he’d fuck off, but he knows he’s sitting pretty where he is and would be a failure if he went anywhere else.
