I have it on good authority that him and his agent have been given permission to talk to other clubs.

thats what i meanT. no chance to win the league here, which means he should go to CIty, utd, real, barca or possibly juve if he wants to win a title.
Or he can be a big fish in a small pond and collect his 130 grand a week here for no pressure.
Arsenal are not about to bankroll a title charge so those are his choices. Cant see what else arsenal can do to dress it up any more

I don't think his options are that plentiful, my gut feeling is it will be Citeh or us.
Doesn't seem to be too keen to commit does he, he's definitely considering his options and after talking to some of his Dutch colleagues he may well be charmed by a life elsewhere.
I don't blame him, he's got the chance to possibly move to a very big club and experience glory perhaps and at his age who could blame him for chancing his arm somewhere where it's more likely medals will be forthcoming.
Top footballers surely have ambitions to experience success after all, I'm not convinced any player at the club really believes we can be successful.
It's a smart move and I don't blame him. There is no point in signing the deal now and hoping Wenger/Board sign quality players while he's away. For all he knows, he could come back to a situation where we've sold Theo and Poldoski are our only major signing with a couple of kids being brought in. If he's unsure about his future and our ambition, he shouldn't sign anything this year. That's the smart move. He's happy here and not tied into a long contract. If he sticks to his cards and we try to sell him, then he knows these guys aren't serious. But if we do serious business this summer and he's happy with the situation at the club, he can sign in the winter or end of next season.
He saw what happened with Henry. He was calling for the club to match his 'sporting ambition' but they didn't and he had just signed a massive contract.
You know, keep him for a year and he will be a 30 year old with a patchy injury record. Even if he is available on a free. At taht point he might not get the bumper deal he wants. He and his agent will know this so there is some pressure on them to get this sealed sooner rather than later too.
They dont know if he will get injured/lose form next year and bugger up their prospects lets face it.
Not surprised, but it breaks my heart to watch the club we love to be taken to the cleaners by the greedy ***** on the board.
No wonder they where pleased when David Dein left (Pushed!), he was the only one willing to spend money and had the clubs interest at heart because he is an Arsenal fan.
I would him to come back and get rid of Gazidis, our beloved club would be in safe hands with people who care>
The excuse for paying for the stadium has gone now, we have had 15 years of CL money and sold many players to pay for it! Times up ***holes!
If RvP goes then I hope every Arsenal fan will know how to react towards this board. It must not be pretty, it should be vicious and entirely unreasonable - just as the board has been towards the club. Fight fire with nuclear weapons.
