And the odds of him coming were about 1000-1 just last week. Pires must really love Arsenal.

ha, ha, your just soooooo right loosey.

Of course this raises an intresting question, although we are seeing the benifit of wenger acting as a magnet for players now, what's going to happen if he leaves?

wat will happen?
just like wat is going to happen at barca
dutch players have no future there because vg left

Perhaps not, there are critical differences in the two scenarios. In barca I think the dutch players probably went there inspite of van gaul being there, not because of. Also, the level of antipathy towards the dutch players at barca, does not exist at arsenal, infact I think the french players are really quite liked...with a possible exception. Hardly suprising given that we know how good english players are.

hehehehe
english players
i reckon it depends on how wenger leaves and who replaces him
if wenger leaves on bad terms, the players might feel sorry for him or something, and want to leave the club too
and if someone like ferguson is recruited as manager
well
EVERYONE will leave the club
