3. Extend Contracts & Release Players
January is also time when players whose contracts are running down can sign a pre-contract agreement with another club. The board should extend Bacary Sagna’s deal, as their starting right-back could decide to leave Arsenal on a free transfer in June.
Thomas Rosicky, as the Czech, aged 33, but plays like a 23 year old. His acceleration and his ability to drift past defenders as if they were not there are phenomenal. Easily, one of the most under rated players in the league. He too deserves a contract extension.
Polish goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański, striker Nicklas Bendtner and Emannuel Frimpong are likely to move in order to play, rather than remain on the sidelines of the Etihad. Wenger should release these three so that wage bill will be reduced a bit.
The Gunners have had a successful half of the season, however they should rest on one’s laurels and remember the team has still lots of development to be made.
