http://tinyurl.com/nhxf4 Gunners to talk Wenger terms By Chris Stanton - Created on 10 Sep 2006 Arsenal's sluggish start to the season will have no bearing on the club's determination to tie Arsene Wenger down to a new long-term contract. Gunners chairman Peter-Hill Wood has reiterated the club will open contract negotiations with Wenger next summer in a bid to extend his contract which by then will have only another 12 months left to run. Wenger has overhauled The Gunners in almost 10 years in charge, winning three Premiership titles, and introducing a style of football revered by neutrals. If Wenger's side do have an Achilles heel, then it is their over-elaboration - a criticism which has again been levied at the club following a disappointing start to the season. Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Middlesbrough means The Gunners are still without a league win after their first three matches - not that Hill-Wood is too concerned, however. "I am confident we will have a good season," Hill-Wood told the Sunday Mirror. "I have 100 percent confidence that Arsene knows what he is doing. He has proved that and I am not worried at all. "If he is happy to stay, then we will want him to stay even longer. "He has been a fantastic asset for this club and achieved remarkable things for us. "Indeed, it's mainly due to the success that we've had under Arsene that we are at a new stadium. "We would never have been able to build it without him being here. "His contract ends at the end of next season and it is probable that we will talk about a new one at the end of this campaign. "As long as he is happy here, then we are more than happy to keep him. "In the 10 years he has been here, we have progressed so much as a club. It's a joy to have him here." Arsenal's long-term ambitions could be married to a similar desire from the Frenchman to nurture Theo Walcott. Wenger has used the 17-year-old prodigy only sparingly so far, but believes this will be the season when the former Southampton starlet comes of age. "Wayne Rooney was a boy at 17 and a man at 18. I see Theo in the same light," said Wenger. "I would have played him at the World Cup. In fact, I was surprised he wasn't picked. I know he should be playing here. Everyday he gets better, wanting to play. "I can see him having a major say in The Premiership and the Champions League. "He could have a major say at this club very soon." 即使面對這麼亂七八糟的聯賽開局 槍手管理階層還是信心堅定的打算跟溫格洽談續約的事宜 能跟溫格繼續合作續約的話~~我是覺得很好 不過 真的 阿森納禁不起這樣下去了~~!!! 文章最後有提到Walcott一下下 --
