Hopefully, when we get 'more news' it will transpire that we will be receiving above 20 million. Also, I hope we hear Arsene coming out to talk about buying a new striker.

Just read the final interview on Arsenal.com tears in my eyes, lump in my throat.
I believe he does love the club but we cant match his ambitions, Barca admittedly is one of the best sides in the world, tempatation is too much to resist.
After reading that as well as other reports, im more worried about Wenger now, its hard to swallow, think partly the reason for us letting Titi go is so that we dont lose both our star player & manager in the same season, soften the blow a bit, im now convinced Wenger will not sign a new deal, next season will be difficult....but on the other hand our squad could step up to the mark & give Arsene a damn fine reason to stay!

Arsenal Forever

bollocks to him!!!!

[whee]

Right, my thoughts on the matter.

Henry - Arsenal legend, owes us nothing, great service, thanks for the memories.

HOWEVER, blamed his departure on other things, which shouldn't matter to him, tagged us all along, and did f**k all in his final year taking home 5 million.

Cheers then.

Wenger - Legend, always been honest, not tagging us along, but conducting himself with dignity.

2 very contrasting examples of how to depart somewhere.

I'm pretty much certain Wengs will leave at the end of next season.

Who knows, maybe a change will do us good? Instill a bit more passion, grit, and the necessary determination to win a championship?

Or maybe we'l finish below Spurs..... Ergh.

Something like that could well be on the cards if Wenger leaves. Achieving success on a budget has been his forte, and there are few around who could do the same.

I think it all hinges on next season. Absolutely crucial for Arsenal Football Club.
