Angry & Miserable
I love Arsène as a human being.
fixed.I love Arsène.
the saddest part is that we are probably losing Ramsey because of Mesut´s contract
One can argue we should have move Walcott years before we did it.This is true. Look how Arséne handled Giroud and Theo when the time had come to move them on. Had open honest discussions with them and promised to give them playing time to put themselves in the shoping window, and let them go to the clubs they wanted. He did what was best for the club and the players. What a great man.

Yeah I watched the sitdown this morning. He pointed out a few times not his place to talk about the Özil & Ramsey situations... think he was talking generally with the point.Sorry mate, but with the greatest of respect. What you're saying here is wrong.
The interview was conducted after Wenger received The Lifetime Achievement Award at The Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco. That particular section of the interview (probably the whole thing but I haven't watched it all) was conducted entirely in English, and if you watch it he's quoted pretty much word for word by Sky.
The video of which you can find underneath (was quite simply to find, the top hit on Google after a 2 second search).

I like Özil, but as I said, Wenger is a clever man and a diplomat.
He's dropped him in it.

Ramsey is 1 name in a squad, Özil is another. There are probably other names to follow later.the saddest part is that we are probably losing Ramsey because of Mesut´s contract
I find it to be our biggest and best players leaving, who are competitive by nature simply for the fact they are at or near the top of world football, which leads me to two conclusions:Ramsey is 1 name in a squad, Özil is another. There are probably other names to follow later.
For me it's more worrying about letting players run down contracts on a free, that makes me wonder...
a. Is it because those in charge previously cannot decide if a player is worth or not extending, hence letting it stall?
b. And aren't confident of moving a player on if they're given a run but eventually deemed surplus?
c. Or thinks that saving on players' wages till final year of contract for renegotiation is a smarter move?
d. Or spun a lie about being able to buy anyone other than a Messi or Ronaldo, whilst deliberating if a cleaner's contract should be extended?
Nah I wouldn’t want him involved in the management side of things. You can’t expect someone who used to run the whole show to be happy suddenly being just a small cog in a broader operation. Even if he could contain himself, think his mere presence would end up undermining the manager; imagine the speculation everytime we hit some poor form. Not sure that negotiating / closing transfers is his greatest strength either!
Ferguson at United should be the model. A boardroom presence and club ambassador with some influence over club’s direction / major decisisons (e.g. new manager) but keeping well-away from interfering in the day-to-day administration. A clean break is important on so many levels.
