Calling all Arsenal Fans - What do you think about Pires leaving?
494456
It is a shame that Robert pires Left, the French midfielder who has held those Barclays' cup for a few times since joined Arsenal. From what i Knew, that, Arsene Wenger wouldn't continue Pires' contract since he is already 32 n finished his contract. n he also had an interest to Villarreal, which he eventually signing in.. n it could be that UEFA finals set him off to leave Arsenal - it is a definite possibility since he was sacrificed to bring In Almunia. he only played for 18 minutes of the biggest game of his career. either way it's a loss for the club that he left..\n\nBut then comes along the Czech Republican Midfielder Tomas Rosicky, compared his stats to Pires, Pires is a bit of a better player - but i wouldn't count too much on my decision, cz i have not seen him play.. I'll let you know if i do.. he is younger than Pires though aged 25.. so, we'll see next season to get a better view on how he plays..\n\nWell on the side for Theo Walcott, the kid is the youngest player to ever play world cup since Pele of Brazil in the 1950s. so, Wenger would have to see how he perform for this world cup, but then again he's letting the 17 year old to play for England, it is a definite possibility that he will let Walcott play for Arsenal next season at their new Emirates stadium.. so we shall see yes?\n\nGo Gunners!!

Be suprised to see him stay in England, but Spurs are becoming a very strong force (n to think, my team Forest had Reid, Jenas n Dawson + the likes of Harewood in it a few years back, n now look at us, stupid fucking chairman, fuck the debts, they'dv cleared themselves if we were in the Prem. Anyway...) so Spurs would be tempting for him.\n\nYou'd be a lot more tempting though had your lot had not ate at "La Gunnere" n been spiked.

Well he will retire after World Cup 2006. \nSeen that article here, about him, and I swear I could see some hair in the pic. Maybe it's me :P\n\nhttp://www.worldcuptour.org/news/zidane-announces-decision-to-retire-after-the-world-cup-2006/\nComment it as you like.\n\nAlex

Thierry Henry doesn't like being under presure, and I think if he goes to Barcelona, he will not perform, and not last more than a season. He has to compete with Ronaldihno, Et'o and the rest, and I don't think he suits their style, he'd be stuck on the left wing like when he played for Juventus.\n\nHe should stay at Arsenal and lead out the team at Ashburton Grove, however, money talks, and if the deal is right get rid of him for £30 odd million and buy 4-5 replacements in.

I don't know to much about pulis but i think he may have been forced out of stoke the first time.He hasn't done a bad job at Plymouth getting them up to mid table safety.I am a QPR fan and was very sorry to see Ollie go,he did a great job for us getting us promoted and then up to mid table safety in the first year of the championship.I hear he maybe going to yeovil but if you can get him he would do a great job for you.Good luck for next season

Wake -up call for all present:  Ronaldo was just replaced in the 69th minute.  He's a little overweight and not performing that well.\n\nKlose is now an easy pick seeing as he already has 2 under his belt - no-brainer and #1 favorite.  Same goes for Rosicky.  \n\nCrespo - maybe.\n\nDrogba more than likely won't make it past the next round.  \n\nOwen also left the pitch earlier than planned - as soon as Rooney is healthy again, he can go back to Newcastle for a long vacation.\n\nHenry also needs to make it into the half-finals.  They won't.\n\nRaul maybe\n\nShev maybe\n\nVan Nistelrooy longshot, but feasable\n\nAnd now the player you forgot:  Ronaldinho.  He will win the Golden Boot 2006.

My dears, Thierry Henry has already signed a new 4-year contract with Arsenal 2 days ago, so he ain't going nowhere this season, or for that matter for the next 4 seasons.\n\nMy guess as to the biggest transfer (in monetary terms of course) is Shevchenko. Chelsea, as usual, are going to spend 1 billion on the fabulous marksman. But i still think no one should go to Chelsea cos all they can offer is cash. No pride, no honour, no spirit.

Frankly, on ManU's present form, they are going out of the Champion's League.  Oh wait that already happened.\n\nOf course they can - Arsenal will make the semifinals at worst and will probably win the whole thing yet again for the fourth time in five years (five in six if Michael Owen didn't get lucky).

He will if ARS dont win the champs league THIS SEASON.\nhe still hasnt sign his new contract that will expire soon. \n\nBut he is very SMART and diplomatic about it. so u'll just hear him say nothin confirming his move thoughts. \nu know He actually doesnt want to move, he would prefer winning it will ARS, which is a club he trully most loved (Wenger too his fav manager he said once), AND people will give him more credit in winning Champs lg w/ ARS rather than sharing it w/ Ronaldinho and so.(and he knows that \nBut it really seems that all people in the world sees Barca has bigger chance of winning it, and so will be a great platform 4 him.\n\nso dont cry. PRAY 4 ARS to win the Champs and I hope they will get their brilliant attacking football back.\nto the Spanish news : its their news, they want Henry to join in Spain!!! no other world news reports that like it's definite already!!

Peter Hill-Wood, today said that there have been no talks so far about Beckham joining them (Arsenal).\nWenger himself said "Beckham reports are 'creative'".\n\nI know I definitely would NOT like to see Beckham with the Gunners! Hope he's not asked to sign up with them...

If Arsenal don't win the Champions League, there's a very high chance that Henry will leave the team. It sucks to say it, & I really hope it isn't true, but everything points to it.\n\nHenry said he isn't interested in money, he might not join Barca for the money. Also, if he was so convinced of staying at Arsenal, wouldn't he have signed already, instead of making his team-mates & Arsene Wenger wonder. Doing that just keeps everyone nervous & wondering...\n\nBarca saying they've reached a verbal agreement can actually get them into big trouble if it's untrue. So the two possibilities are:\na) Wenger knows Henry's leaving & he doesn't want to disclose it to anyone else for obvious psychological reasons\nb) Barca are full of shit (I love the team though) & if they're lying, they're in big trouble & can be 'sued' by Wenger.\n\nLet's just hope it's the 2nd of the two options...\n\nHere's also hoping Arsenal win the Champions League & Henry signs a 5 yr. extension to his contract!\n\nGo Gunners!

My head tells me he will go, my heart says he will stay.\n\nNo matter what you say, the Arsenal (can't call it the Ar*e because Yahoo blocks it out) holds a special place for most players, particularly those that have played in the first team for a number of years, as Robert has.\n\nI think if he plays well for the rest of the season, and is confident he can maintain a first team place next season then he will stay.\n\nBut if he doesn't - name one player that Wenger has let go that has gone on to bigger and better things (although if Barcelona beat Arsenal in the CL final you might say Van Bronkhorst - Silvinho doesn't count because we had to let him go due to his dodgy passport). Which reminds me - I should ask a question on the UK Govt getting in the way of our football clubs - Wenger nearly signed Ronaldinho when he was at PSG - but he couldn't get a work permit in England!

If Arsenal don't win the Champions League, there's a very strong possibility that Henry will move, most probably to Barca :(\n\nHope the main Gunner stays at Arsenal!

I think people do not give Arsenal enough credit.  They have a perfect team for European football... granted, that has not translated into domestic success this season, but they have been playing stellar football in Europe!  They currently have the hottest goalkeeper in the world in their squad, and that has got to count for something.  In addition, they have what I would consider the best striker in the world, along with a great defense (I'd pick Toure, Eboue, and Gilberto ahead of a lot of other players to build my defense around, I can tell you that!  Not to mention Sol is coming back to solidify the back!  Their midfield isn't too shabby either, with the 2nd most talented young midfielder in the world in Cesc Fabregas, only Leo Messi is better at this time!  It will be very close, but I have to cheer for my gunners all the way!  They will beat Barcelona in the final 2-1!

I don't think so. He has gotten Milan within 3 points of Juventus in Serie A with 3 games left. Will finish ahead of Inter in the standings and got them to the semis of the CL. He did sign a contract extension and I think that there aren't any world class coaches available in the world today to replace him at such a prestigious club. He has done enough this season to earn himself at least one more year.
