Cech seems an odd one to be negotiating a new contract with given his age.

Not that odd, considering there's little to no logic in what we do.

 

[{reed}]

Wenger just hate buying new players

Feels like Cech is one of Wenger yes men... He rewarded Mertesacker. He will reward Cech too.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Plebs talking about wanting to be a trusted member, oh please.

Anyways just sign Wilshere to a new contract please.

Cech seems an odd one to be negotiating a new contract with given his age.

At 35, he's not that old for a goalkeeper. Many continue to play at a high level until 40 or beyond. David Seaman played until he was 41. So did Van der Sar. Schmeichel was 40. Peter Shilton and Gordon Banks played into their 40s as well. And those guys were still very effective well beyond 35.

Petr Cech is the least of Arsenal's problems defensively. And we may see him stepping into more of a leadership role going forward. Apparently he really ripped into the team after the performance against Liverpool. He never had to do that at Chelsea because they had John Terry to rip everyone a new butthole. But if Cech can take on a leadership role here that could go a long way because that's something that's been sorely lacking on the pitch and in the dressing room. I'd be quite happy if they tied him up for two or three more seasons.

Arsène Wenger wants to push new contract talks with Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck, whose deals at Arsenal expire in the summer of 2019. However, the manager has warned that because of the inflation of the transfer market, more and more players are set to enter the last years on their contracts.

Arsenal have a clutch of players in their final 12 months, most notably Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil, and there would be consternation if Ramsey and Welbeck were to go down the same path. Welbeck is currently out until mid-October with a groin injury but he started the season well while Ramsey was impressive in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Chelsea.

“It is something we want to address,” Wenger said in relation to fresh terms for Ramsey and Welbeck. “Both of them are in a good moment for us. But with the level of transfers and the amounts that players expect on their contracts, you will have more and more players going into the final year of their contracts. You will be in a position where you either extend for money you cannot afford or you go into the final year of their contract.

“This season, there were 107 players in the Premier League who got into the final year of their contract and you will see that more. The clubs want too much money for normal players.

“They say that if one player is worth £200m [like Neymar], then this player is worth £50m. But everybody knows for that player £50m is too much and they cannot afford it. So what happens? The club cannot sell and doesn’t extend the contract, so more and more players are going into the final year of their contract.”

Wenger noted that Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, had recently urged Uefa and Fifa to introduce new rules to control the spending on transfer fees. In light of his suggestion that the market has become increasingly blocked, the Arsenal manager was asked whether he foresaw the end of fees being paid for players.

“Something will happen,” he replied. “For the first time, on the political front, the German prime minister has come out and, also, the president of Uefa has come out. I think, politically, something will happen in the next 12 months to regulate and limit the transfer amounts.

“You have to go one of two ways – regulate it properly or leave it completely open. You cannot be in between and that is where we are at the moment. It is only to the advantage of some clubs who can deal with the [financial fair play] rules in a legal way.

“The regulation has to be stricter and clearer, or open the market completely and you can do what you want provided you can guarantee you have the money to pay. At the moment, we are a bit in between and that does not work.”

Wenger looking to give new contracts/extensions to Ramsey and Welbeck while then going on to talk up/keep making excuses for the Arsenal only difficulties of keeping top players from running their contract down/not wanting to extend.

Lovely stuff.

 

[Deathstroke]

One a wannabe striker, the other a striker who couldn't be.

'Consternation' indeed.

Southampton and Everton are both interested in Walcott but Wenger is reluctant to weaken his squad in January – particularly with Arsenal currently competing across four fronts – and his future is likely to be resolved next summer.

Cech is also out of contract in 2019 but, at 35, all sides are relaxed about the situation and there is a strong chance he will further extend his deal next year. Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck are others whose contracts expire at the end of next season and it is understood that provisional talks have been held with both players. Wenger has said that Arsenal’s needs will come before any individual or national team in deciding how best to handle the various situations.

 

[Hunta]

Özil, Wilshere, Ramsey.

Just had a look at our squad and the current contract situation, those three are the only players we need to get signed up on new deals.

Give them what they want.

 

[blaise]

Özil hopefully signs, Wilshere is offered less money with big incentives, hopefully also signs, Ramsey is a pecculiar one, if we ll play 3 in midfield I agree, but for 2 I d cash him in and buy a proper CM with that money.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Extend Özil and JW. Sell Welbeck and Cech. No silly money for Ramsey. He can stay or go depending on what business we do.
