afc RVP Contract Situation

[TF S4DK]

I dont believe it, but Arsenal's management do.

Dunno if they have changed stance, as Wenger has publically doubted it last week, when he said he believes in it much less now than he did a year ago.

Twitter roumours that Barca want Szczesny

[Fighting Weight]

Szczesny is awesome, best keeper in the world within 2 years.

He can't sweep though so unlikely but lol all the same.

Didnt expect the Guardian to steep this low

*Sighs*

[Heero Yuy]

Media rule 10.

If an Arsenal player plays well consecutively for 5+ games link them with Barcelona

[gemma]

shall i change the thread title to just CONTRACTS

because last year szczney said that he wanted to stay at arsenal until he was 30 etc and now he said he would 'for an important reason', when basically told that barca are interested

[TF S4DK]

Change it to, Contract renewals - Ivan is any Yank

[Seydou]

LOL

Who wouldnt leave Arsenal for Barca though?

[TF S4DK]

Szczesny isn't a catalan, he'd be better off staying in the second city for Poles.

them Szcez - Barca rumours were made up, yet places still reported them.

I'm talking about a recent interview he did where he said he would leave if 'something important' came up

[gemma]

i went on the polish website just to make sure it was true

he says (google translate)

Polish Times

Arsenal is your second home?

Yes. We have friends in London, friends, and not just the seniors, but also in the youth team. I can not imagine a situation where I leave the club only for the money. Do not declare that life I play at Arsenal, but if I go, either I have a very important reason, or I'll get to Barcelona.

There's no "lol" at the end of the sentence so I'm gonna have to assume he's being serious :S

We are such a feeder club

Wojciech Szczesny has taken to Twitter to set the record straight following misleading stories in the media on Tuesday.

According to reports the Polish goalkeeper said he deserved to be the Arsenal captain. Szczesny was also linked with a move to Barcelona while questions have been raised over his withdrawal from the Poland national squad with a back injury.

The 21-year-old used his Twitter feed to respond.

"I got annoyed with a few things about myself in the media recently so I'm gonna set the record straight," he began.

"I never said I deserve the Arsenal armband. I said that I would love to one day take the responsibility of being an Arsenal skipper. RVP [Robin van Persie] is doing a great job as a skipper and he fully deserves the armband."

Szczesny added: "I am injured and had to be pulled out of Polish national team. I hope to recover as soon as possible."

And he mocked the speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal: "Please continue the 'Szczesny to Barcelona' rumours. Makes me laugh every time I read it!"

Robin van Persie has hinted that he could move to a rival Premier League side when his Arsenal contract expires at the end of next season.

After the departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri over the summer, and a horrendous start to the season, fears are growing at the Emirates Stadium that their captain may look for pastures new, with the forward refusing to talk about a new deal until the end of this campaign.

“I do not know what I will do - I cannot predict the future,” Van Persie told The Times.

“Everybody makes his own history and only afterwards can you see how that went.”

Having seen former team-mates Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri move to rivals Manchester City in the summer, the Dutchman refused to rule out joining them at the Etihad Stadium.

“I do not know,” he said, “for one thing, as an indication, when I came to Arsenal we immediately beat City. But in recent years much has happened in England.

“Nevertheless, I think the Premiership is still the best league in the world, it gives me everything I want.”

The Gunners captain refused to be drawn into criticism of Arsene Wenger’s transfer policy, with many questioning his failure to secure adequate replacements for departed players earlier in the summer.

“I’m not a technical director and coach, I have no input in to it,” the forward insisted.

Young midfielder Francis Coquelin, meanwhile, puts the Gunners’ slump down to not having had time for new signings to gel.

“We have not yet synced with the new ones, so it’s difficult,” the 20-year-old reasoned.

“We cannot lose two or three of the best players and get away unscathed.

“There is a lack of confidence but there are still a lot of games. Everyone is talking about the 8-2 defeat against Manchester United but we moved on.”

Ominous
