Well I suppose, on the offchancecertainty we don't sign a CB, we need to have a "can also play there" option.

Wenger's version of "special" scares me.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Depends what you mean by medium term, even if he doesn't go next season....i don't expect him to be around more than two seasons after that

He will be around forever.

Not really.

It will just feel that way.

[Xhaka Can’t]

And you're someone who never lets get negativity get in the way of the facts

The contract offer that was leaked took him up to his 70th year (2019), how many managers realistically go on much past 70?

Ferguson and Bobby Robson were 71, Guy Roux was 69

And i genuinely don't think he has decided whether he stays with us beyond this season. I accept that the ultimate decision is his when that shouldn't be the case...but in reality at 67 a man who doesn't appear to be massively motivated by money is it going to be worth it for him to stay if the atmosphere at the Emirates continues to sour.

I imagine it is fairly easy to say you're not motivated by money when you're on £8m a year.

I don't know that for certain, but I'd sure as fuck like to try it out.

me too!

Wonder if we could sign Ljungberg again. Better than Walcott/Oxlade right now surely

[Marc Overmars]

City in talks with Everton over Stones. He is valued at £50m.

I don't know that for certain, but I'd sure as fuck like to try it out.

My point is that isn't the guiding motivation for him remaining at the club, i don't know exactly what he's doing but this is the guy whose first in at the training ground of a morning and the last to leave of a night.
