Wenger Out?

[Özim]

Speculation about a new 8 million a year contract for him, don't agree with this at all if there's any truth in this:

Gunners bid to keep Arsene at Emirates with new £24m deal

Arsenal are preparing formal discussions with Arsene Wenger over a new three-year contract worth £8million-per-season.

The new contract - that would see the Frenchman net a £500,000-per-year increase - would take Wenger beyond 20 years at the north London club.

It is understood money to pay for the proposed new deal has already been earmarked from the club's budget.

As revealed by Sportsmail during the summer, informal discussions over fresh terms have already taken place between Wenger and chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

But with the club currently riding on a crest of wave, there is now an urgency to get Wenger round the table for crunch talks - which could happen during the forthcoming international break.

Club officials are confident Wenger will extend his stay beyond the end of this season, when his contract expires.

The signing of Mesut Ozil has breathed fresh life into the manager, something that has not gone unnoticed by his backroom team at the club's London Colney HQ.

But while there remains a confidence the 63-year-old wants to lead a new Arsenal era, the manager's public insistence that he wants to wait until later in the season before deciding his future remains a worry.

Cash-rich Paris St Germain want Wenger to finish his career in the French capital and are continuing to monitor his contract situation.

But Arsenal hope the prospect of a lucrative new deal and the chance to add more bona-fide world class talent to his squad in the future will be enough to convince Wenger to stay.

Indeed, despite the club record £42million outlay on Ozil, the Arsenal hierarchy will make more money available to Wenger again in January, primarily to sign a new centre-forward.

Olivier Giroud remains the club's only regular centre-forward, something Wenger will rectify in the winter transfer window.

There is not a single quote in that article. Not even from an unnamed source.

[Özim]

Yeah that's true "but it is understood"

[JonasTC]

I really hope its true, i want us to stick with Wenger as long as possible. You can see the impact it has on ManUtd, changing a long-sitting manager and the impact it have had on all the other teams that keeps changing managers.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yeah that's true "but it is understood"

I agree with you though. I want to see what happens in January before a contract is agreed.

[Özim]

Yes it does have an impact, but we have to change as some point so it will have an impact regardless, the longer it is the worse is it.

Ferguson was something else and Moyes should have made a few signings to make the team his own, as it is it's Ferguson's players and he's not getting the best out of them yet.

[Letters]

We should have sacked him a couple of years ago. We didn't though and right now it would be a stupid time to change manager.
It is early in the season though and I agree he needs to do more to earn a new contract.

We should have sacked him a couple of years ago.

Seemed like that at the time, but if this form continues, maybe not.

He's not going to do anything in January. We've got we've got. Wenger doesn't think it's enough, but the players seem to. The key is going to be how many injuries we get - everything else is in place.

I still feel Wenger's best influence is bringing in the right players and developing young players. Cry about the few dud signings as much as you want, comparatively he remains an absolute genius in the transfer market, second to no-one (although Klopp looks promising). When it comes to being ruthless enough to his own players, Wenger falls way short. The attitude in the squad seems great atm, but the minute they start believing in the hype, Wenger is useless and we need someone else to get the best out of this very talented group of 23-24 avg. year olds.
