Now Arsenal to make sure that no playersleave

It seems that the Arsenal manager has plans, and they are not only plans for this season. There was an almighty row among Arsenal fans this summer when the media started talking about a new contract for the Prof, mainly because a large section of Gonners thought that Wenger was at least partly to blame for the club’s miserly dealings in the transfer market, and you have to admit they had good reason to believe it. The reports about a new contract for Wenger have disappeared for now, but that does not seem to have stopped the 63-year old from planning beyond this season. The Mirror has reported that Arsenal are now preparing new contracts for three key members of the Gunners squad. France international right back, and Arsenal’s new 4th choice centre back, Bacary Sagna is in the last year of his current deal, and there were lots of rumours suggesting that he might leave the club this summer. However, if his problem was with the ambition of the club, the signing of Mesut Ozil should have convinced him that silverware could be around the corner. The 30-year old is looking as good as ever and the club want him to commit his future to Arsenal. Tomas Rosicky is one player who could be forgiven for not wholeheartedly welcoming the news of Ozil signing, because his position is the one most at risk from the German. The offer of a new contract with Arsenal, however, mat well convince the 32-year old Czech international that he is still highly valued by Wenger. A bit less pressure on Rosicky to play regularly may also help him to prolong his career for both club and country as well. The third Gunner in line for a new contract is the BFG himself. Per Mertesacker is clearly an integral part of Wenger’s plans for Arsenal. The 28-year old German defender gets more stick than the average forest from Arsenal fans and the media, but with Koscielny he has formed a formidable defensive pairing which has conceded hardly anything since the Tottenham defeat last season. Arsenal got all the young British players to commit to long term deals last season, and if we can do the same with experienced and quality players, it will be great for the morale and confidence of the team and the fans. Now we just need to go and win something.
