Ryan Giggs and Scholes were not much of a vocal presence in the Utd side either, yet SAF attributes having them around as one of the main reasons for his success towards the end of his career. Experienced folks do not always need to be a Vieira or Keane, they can be influential in many other ways. We have made the mistake of disposing off of experienced players too early before and I hope we do not start doing the same crap all over again.Originally Posted by Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Seems like United are front runners for Schneiderlin.
Seems like a good replacement for Carrick for them.
A few of the players and the manager have hinted at it during interviews.
He went out of his way to help Alexis settle into London when he first joined and during the FA cup celebrations he was the guy who brought in the likes of Diaby and Gnarby to the celebrations as well as lead that now famous video of the players joking around with Ivan Gazidis in the changing rooms afterwards.
He does seems like a fantastic character to have at the club however in a non-playing capacity.
If it wasn't for the emergence of Coquelin I have no doubt we would have concluded this already.
I'm guessing blowing 25 million on someone who's at best is only marginally better than Francis may not seem like a wise investment from Wenger. Whatever's the case we urgently need to bring in someone as relying on Flamini/Arteta as backup would be suicidal.

Yup.
Arteta has famously been an all round good egg behind the scenes in helping the whole squad rally together. Happy for him to remain personally.

Chelsea gk Petr Cech will undergo a medical today ahead of completing his proposed move to Arsenal. Fee & personal terms agreed #AFC #CFC
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
If it wouldn't be for Messi, Suarez and Neymar (all three of them would walk into our team), he would be starting for Barcelona now. The boy knows he is too good to sit on Barca bench, hence why he left.
TEG is right about the buyback clause though, otherwise he won't that cheap.
somebody put something in my milk
Theres a big difference between established internationals & world class - Bentdner is an established international. To compete we have the buy better than the likes of Lauren, Grimaldi & Silvinho.
Then give him a coaching role - should be nowhere near playing unless we had severe injuries.
