Didn't Wenger say he close to sign new contract? Seem his reps trying to get more money

He'll sign once Arteta is confirmed imo, that way we can do a picture of Jack signing a contract with Arteta.

I would like him to go
Personally, though I think this is lazy journalism. Arsène will most likely get an admin job at PSG, so people are just reaching to attach jack to that.
Though a part of me also says this makes sense for PSG because of financial fair play.

I reckon Arteta could do well with Jack. He's always had a Spanish quality to his game. I've flip-flopped on this at times this season but ultimately I'd like him to stay.
Jack loves playing for England. I think he'll leave and go to a team where he'll start regularly and improve his chances of being in the squad.

West Ham would be a good fit, their fans would adore him.

Not that you can read loads into it but if you follow him on Instagram you’ll see he just had a gym fitted to his house and he’s having other stuff done
Doesn’t seem like leaving London soon

There's always West Ham, Crystal Palace and Watford. Hopefully Fulham too.
Honestly, I'd like to see Jack move on. His salary would be freed up for another signing. He hasn't been reliable for a long time and his form is sporadic. I think it would be the best thing for him as well. Not sure anybody would pay him what Arsenal is apparently offering, though, even with a pay cut.
Let Jack go. Sell Ramsey if he doesn't want to stay. Buy Jorginho and Seri.

Looks like Gazidis is running a clean up operation. Santi gone and now wilshere. Good for him if he gets a better contract.

Ultimately the club's biggest mistake was to let him choose his own loan destination. We let him completely waste a year at Bournmouth where he was just average without motivation, only to see him pick a long term injury on top. Should have told him either go on loan to Italy for a year, when good teams were interested, or sit his ass down on the bench here.
I still think he'll stay for some reason, don't think his story here is finished just yet. With a new contract and new manager perhaps expectations can be lowered, we don't have to weigh him down with the expectation to be the captain and everything we thought he'd be etc etc. He could be on a relatively modest wage and just play a role in the squad. Also no reason that his game couldn't improve with some new coaching ideas, especially from an ex-midfielder like Arteta.
Our midfield needs working on, but it's not so bad that we need an entire revolution there. The idea of getting rid of Wilshere, Ramsey & Santi and completely re-shaping it is a bit excessive. It just needs one extra quality player, i think Wilshere and Ramsey should stay.
The defence on the other hand, that does need more of a revolution.

The loan to Bournemouth was a good one in my opinion. They played similar to us and Jack put in some good performances. He was unlucky there too. I saw a stat on Sky (could be lies) where he hit the woodwork 5 times on loan there. If a few had gone in people would have been raving about him.
Someone hit the nail on the head with Jack having stamina issues which are key to his running game really. Also, his performances are dependent on who partners him in games. When he was bursting on to the scene I was convinced he was our future captain. He seemed to have all the qualities. I think injuries, ego and complacency have curtailed the early progress. I'd love to see Jack really put some effort into cementing a place with the first team but I have this feeling he'll be off to West Ham or Palace where opportunities would be more plentiful.
Will he ever reach the Halcyon heights of that night in the CL where he bossed the Barca midfield as a teenager? Unfortunately, probably not. The talent is there. Only Jack knows if the motivation is.
It’s not an entire revolution though. Santi hasn’t played for ages and you’d be replacing one player in the first team by putting someone else next to Xhaka. We only started playing Xhaka, Ramsey and Wilshere together towards the end of the season. Before then it’s always been Xhaka plus one.
Well I think we ought to have 6 midfielders. As it stands with Santi leaving we have 5 in Xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere, Elneny & AMN, so I think just one quality player to (in effect) replace Santi would be fine. If Wilshere and/or Ramsey leave we'll need more than that, i'm just not sure our budget can do that when it needs to focus so much on the defence. I think it can accommodate one midfielder but probably not more than that, hence why Wilshere & Ramsey should stay.
If we assume Arteta will be appointed I think we'll continue the trend of favouring technical midfielders over physical midfielders. Much like Pep, he'll simply work on the basis that his midfield is better technically than the majority of the oppositions, and the opposition must adapt themselves, instead of using physical players to adapt to the opposition.
A lot of fans want to replace Santi's spot in the squad with a DM, but I think it'll be like-for-like, something like Jean Seri perhaps. The goal will be to improve the technical level of the midfield, and I'd say keeping Wilshere and Ramsey is part of that.

Let's not forget Iwobi will most likely be considered a CM from now on.
He's probably the most cazorla-like player we have in the squad alongside Wilshere. Can see him developing very well in that role.

I’d keep him personally. Although if he doesn’t want to sign then off you go.
Bring Meyer in on a free to “replace” Santi. Hopefully sign Ramsey up. Xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere, Meyer, Elneny as the main midfield in our squad is good stuff.
