A win tonight will see the club edging closer to announcing that Wenger is signing a new deal. Now, taking aside the fact that that’s the last thing I want, the idea of him signing a new 2 year deal makes no sense to me, on any level.
He has already said that there needs to be investment in the squad in the window. There is talk that Sanchez will stay IF this happens, Ozil as well. Personally I am of the opinion that the squad needs a very considerable overhaul. So on that basis, what good is 2 years? You put together a new squad and naturally you require time to allow them to gel. Then again, you announce that Wenger is only staying on for 2 years and surely this impacts potential signings as well as those who may look at leaving the club?
For me the only person that benefits from a new 2 year deal is Wenger. He gets to play out his project a little longer, earning a mega salary and we continue in this groundhog day like state.
Surely it would have been far better to announce that he was going, unite the fan base, allow players to decide what they want to do and allow the new boss to decide what he wants to do with the squad. I genuinely do not understand how this club operates anymore
