The Wright Stuff

After along time coming to a decision about Wright FMR has finally decided that he should remain at the club until retirement, something all Gooners fans will be happy to hear! After a long term injury last season and even though he never recovered his form fully he still managed to have an amazing goal ratio and big impact in the big games.

Add to this he is the only real threat Gooners possess from a dead ball it would have been a very brave decision to let him go at his current market value. FMR is still looking to add to his squad before the season kicks off but with limited budget he will have to spend wisely as Gooners still need three players to add depth to the squad.


Top of FMR's to buy list is a keeper and the scouts have been doing the rounds in order to find Seamans long term replacement, the way its looking they will have to bring in a youth player and hope seaman will play for atleast another two seasons and they will be in no hurry to let him go anyway having been a star performer last season.

In more upbeat news the youth team has produced something of massive potential in Marouane Chamakh a young eighteen year old striker. FMR has been waiting for a long time for something of his quality to come through the doors at Highbury and this young player will now heap more pressure on Campbell who has not been in the managers plans for sometime now. FMR is also aware that now he is creating a team very much based on the future and whilst this is part of his long term plan Gooners are intent on having a real go this season and may need one or two more experienced player in their line up, where FMR can get the money for such buys remains to be seen and time is not on his side.. it will be interesting to see what moves he makes in the following weeks.

Gooners played Wortley recently in a pre season friendly and were not troubled in any department and walked away with an easy 2 - 0 victory. FMR was quoted as saying the silly season is now over and its time to put another run together as we enter the new season, I have booked fixtures against many of our rivasl in Division two to see where we are and what needs rectifyng before, it's to late. Although we will save the real clashes for competetive games we dont want to spoil the occasions! Next up is Villarreal.. they were season one champions.. did you know. Its a game we will use to test our younger players ability to get a result and Cath is a manager i have yet to pit my wits aginst.. on the field anyway!
