    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

    Andy- completely agree but when one person wields so much power and above him there is a disinterested Yank who is invisible, it’s no surprise.The soon-to-be announced two year deal has been preceded by a series of platitudes to supposedly appease the natives, “reinventing himself, director of football, overhaul of squad, backroom changes, stars staying, new contracts for the British core etc. Some of these might have Wenger’s seal of approval, others possibly Slaphead’s. I suspect this is all designed to keep people quiet and maintain an expected level of season ticket and membership extensions. When he does sign a two year deal, possibly at the end of the season, all this will do is keep the same problems. I am also of the opinion that this two year contract will not be the last! In 2019, there will be talk of a one/two year extension, so in Kroenke’s eyes “the overhaul” will be left, if it happens, to the only person he wants at the helm- Wenger!

    It’s fairly obvious Clouseau is staying but the club won’t announce it until top4 has been achieved or the season ends. The club are frightened to do it now because they are worried about the backlash. Once the season is over they think the furore will die down. What a pathetic stance to take. They know the fans don’t want this fool any longer but we are getting him for 2 more years, as if that will convince Sanchez to stay. He’s more likely to leave and who cares what the serial bottler wants. The next 2 years will be an absolute disaster.
