Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has brushes aside Gaizidis comments about his future at Arsenal

Posted on Sep 13 2012 - 3:27pm by Kofi Agyemang

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has brushed aside the comments made by the club’s chief executive Ivan Gaizidis over a possible contract extension.

Gazidis did hint in a press interview published this morning that Wenger would be offered a new deal when his current contract with Arsenal expires in 2014, but Wenger says he is not interested in talking about his future.

“I’ve shown my commitment to this club but at the moment I’m not in the mood to think about the long-term future,” Wenger said.

“Two years is a long time in my job. I just want to do well for the club as long as I can and accept all the rest. I will assess my own performances and then make a decision.”

Gazidis praised Wenger’s physical fitness but the Frenchman said that he would have to assess his fitness in two years time.

“I have to consider that at my age, you always have to assess if you have the fitness, the desire, the commitment that this job demands then of course you have to make your decisions.

“I hope I will be lucid enough and intelligent enough to assess my performance well.

“Two years is a long time in my job. I just want to do well for the club as long as I can and accept all the rest.”

Wenger also commented on Bacary Sagna’s interview with French newspaper L’Equipe in which he was critical of the club’s inability in recent years to hold on to its best players.

“Bacary’s interview doesn’t reflect the love he has for this club. He has always given full commitment. Bacary loves the club and I think he will stay here.”
