Duckster – think about it. Wenger is a pundit on French television, and is asked to make comments on clubs all the time. As soon as he says one club is going to be interesting over the next couple of years, that means he’s off?

Come on.

oh, please. Have a think about it before speaking. Wenger to Madrid? A guy who’s been at a club for over 10 years and been patient enough and prepared to build 3 teams, the last of which could be the best and fulfil everything he’s put into the club, to leave for a team that changes its manager at the drop of a hat – and where 1 trophy-less season, let alone 5, is enough for you to be gone

If the quotes are accurate I think it’s a huge blunder by AW.
IMO it’s a petulant reaction to either the uncomfortable Q&A session or a disappointing meeting with the board regarding the transfer kitty. Possibly both.
It didn’t surprise me one bit to hear Ade comparing Milan to Beyonce as I honestly didn’t expect anything less from him since last Summer.
But IF AW’s quotes are genuine I would be extremely disappointed at what can only be interpreted as a statement of genuine interest in working for Madrid. If this is not the case it alternarively has to be his attempt at warning the board that he’ll leave if his wishes aren’t granted.
Be honest & ask yourself how you would feel if the quote was attributed to a player & the word managers was replaced with players?

Wenger is often complimentary about other teams. It means nothing.

I can say that I think United are worthy champions, but it doesn’t mean I’m about to become a United fan.

I am a little concerned by this.

Interessant (French for interesting) has positive connotations – i.e. interesting in an appealing way.

However, I HOPE that this is just a warning shot at his disgraceful treatment by fans. Compare it to Hiddink’s adulation at the Bridge for 4 months work and I can see how he feels.

Guillem Balague is the Spanish equivalent of Miles “clueless c*nt” Palmer..

dodo – Guillem Balaque has strong links with AS, the mouthpiece of Real Madrid. I wouldn’t give too much credence to his opinion on this.

laylay, I know he’s been hurt, but he just isn’t the sort of character that walks out when times are tough. I’ve thought for a while that this is likely to be Wenger’s last Arsenal incarnation, but he’ll want to see it through.

dodo, that link is just further speculation on the same quote. And frankly, Balague talks a load of tosh of a regular basis.
