re: Arsenal 2012/2013 Season Long Thread

Yeah. I still don't know what to make of this report. On one hand, it's a fairly reputable paper with its chief football writer behind it. On the other hand, there is no source given. Seems speculative. Makes me wonder who talked to him. Someone in Arsene's camp? PSG? The line about trying to force arsenal's board into releasing more funds makes me think the former.

If PSG want to buy out Arsene's final year, now seems as good a time as any for there to be a breakup. Having a lame duck worked out well for Bayern this year, but I'm not sure that'd do us any good, particularly in the transfer market. I hope we either extend Arsene or let him go and bring in a top manager.
