Keeping This Arsenal Team Together Is a Top Priority

"I feel next season began on Saturday for him. I don't know yet if I will start with him for the rest of the season, but there is a good chance yes.
"It is down to him now, how much he wants it. But I hope he continues to produce this type of performance and on his account are 10 or 15 goals, because that is what you should aim for."

Theo is huge positive to come out of the last game. Another player who we could be seeing more than we expected of in the first team is Lukasz Fabianski.Well that all but sounds the death knell for Mad Jens. He probably played his last game for us this past Saturday, and we will miss him.

Another player who we expect will be on his way will be Gilberto. He put in one of his best performances this season against Reading at Ashburton last week, and most Gooners would have been gald to see him be amongst the goals. The stripping of his captaincy and his relegation to the bench have been much discussed in Arsenal circles. The man for allhis hardship this season , has always been a model pro. He continues in this same vein (what else could you expect from him), saying that he will have a chat with Arsene about his future and that he wants to stay a Gunner-

"I will sit down with the boss at the end of the season," he said. "But for the next few weeks, I will keep focused on doing my job and try to help the team as much as I can. Whether it's on the pitch as I was on Saturday, or whether it's on the training pitch working with the players.

Arsene also warns Alex Hleb about resisting the charms of the Ice cream man and believes that the potential of the squad at Ashburton Grove should keep the Belarussian here. If Hleb does decide to move on in the summer he could have played his last game for us just like like Mad Jens, as this here explains.

Of all the players we are likely to lose over the summer really think that if we can hang on to Flamini and maybe Hleb and Gilberto,to a lesser extent, we can really build a strong squad for next season.

It's not yet the summer but transfer news is rife . Take your pick from this or this maybe this here or indeed this which states that the Milan And Juve have our big Togonator in their sights.

So long, and speak to you tomorrow. By the looks of things, there will be a huge change in the time I update the blog everyday.I will be more inclined to write in about this time everyday, so check in about this time everyday, or indeed the next day. Thanks.
