Arsenal Boss cools Chamakh contract talks

Mister Wenger today announced he would not make a move for Bordeaux striker Chamakh in the current transfer window.
Calming straight from the mouth of the frenchman "Chamakh will stay in Bordeaux untill the end of the season"

Marouane is free to go where ever he pleases in 6 months and its a shame really i can't see the penny squeezing Wenger be able to offer better contract then other competiting rivals come june. Our only real hope is to take some initiative and get pre contract agreement.

Whether we get him or not one thing still remains with the long term injury to Super Rob we MUST sign a target man upfront if we wanna compete for the title this year, so if not Chamakh then who?

Diaby Puts Pen To Paper!

"Abou Diaby has signed a new long-term contract extension at Arsenal. The 23-year-old France international midfielder, who signed a contract to the end of 2012 in January 2008, has made 117 appearances for the Gunners."

Asked this a couple of months ago probally wouldn't have been fussed either way, but not now nothing but great news for the club; has shown substantial improvement getting 6 goals and 4 assist to his credit this season and Arsenals third highest goalscorer.
At 23, we are finally starting to see great things from him so on recent 2 weeks performance alone the contract is well deserved and im glad to see us offering long contracts it important to not end up with another flamini debacle.
What do you guys think postive or negative re-signing for the club?
