While Real Madrid might like the chance to see Wenger in charge, would it be reciprocated at Arsenal? i was reading Ian Wright’s column today and he thinks not.

I personally agree with Wrighty when he states:

Mourinho has brilliant tactical ability but also a nose for an argument.

He always seems to be in conflict with his players, opposing managers, fans or the board. The Premier League is where he is happiest. Perhaps over here, the fans understand what he is all about.

But I just do not think he would be suited at Arsenal, who have a history of doing things the right way.

I cannot imagine any Gunners manager celebrating a goal by sliding on his knees in the Emirates technical area.

Equally, I do not think Mourinho will ever get the chance of managing Manchester United for much the same reasons as why he will not manage Arsenal. More here.

I think Ian Wright has some valid points to consider and although there is no doubting The Special One’s ability having won leagues in England, Portugal and Italy and being 7 points ahead of mighty Barcelona, Mourinho wouldn’t gel at Arsenal for the reasons that Wrighty has stated above.

It would be a magnificent feat to win the league in Spain and would certainly cement his success as a great trainer. Sometimes clubs don’t need great trainers, they need someone that understands the players, the fans and the board at the same time. Good luck with you job hunting Jose!

FA general secretary Alex Horne confirmed the possibility of using it yesterday and Arsenal boss Wenger has lent his support to the idea.

When asked when the FA should introduce the technology, the Frenchman said: “The sooner, the better for me.

“The sooner they go further, the better. I have always been a big fan of it and given it every support.

“There are no doubts for me. The concern of course is that the technology can make mistakes but still statistically we will improve a lot.

“Overall we all have memories of when this technology would stop an injustice, so let’s go for it — as quickly as possible.” See original here

So there we have it. If this was used in the last World Cup who knows what would have happened when England played Germany. Frank Lampard’s clear goal would have stood and it might have made all the difference.

The injury was confirmed by the French Football Federation and the 28-year-old will be out of action until the new year.

The French Football Federation statement read: “The doctor of the France team, Fabrice Bryand, was informed by Arsenal of a fracture to the right fibula of Bacary Sagna.

“The player (Baccary Sagna) was hurt during the match lost 2-1 by his club against Tottenham on Sunday. The defender will be operated on and is not expected to be available for at least three months.”

Arsenal Wenger is under immense pressure after his side suffered three defeats in five games of their opening Premier League.

But England wing Walcott acknowledges he and his teammates must be made to run the club’s disastrous results.

Walcott said: “The boss is a great man, he can handle anything thrown at him.

“It was the club for over 15 years, and it is not under any pressure whatsoever.

“We players, we need to look at and start doing it on the ground, to be honest.

“Many people would say a matter of defense, but it is not just a back four, you must try to defend the whole team.

“We were not able to do so we need to ensure that we are against Bolton last weekend.

“It will be a difficult game. They come from a good result in the middle of the week.

“We have our fans at home as well. We have some home games and is important for us to have our support at home.

“The head can deal with something.”

Arsenal will be playing from the back of the disappointing 4-3 defeat of Blackburn last weekend.

But despite claiming four points from five games, Walcott believes the Gunners will soon turn the page and go on a winning run.

Speaking to Absolute Radio, he added: “We score goals, we managed to score three goals away from home and still lost, which was disappointing ..

“But we just forget it. We just spent.

“It’s important for us not to dwell on these results, we have had.

“We just have to try to win just take match after match. Maybe we think too far this time.

“As soon as we begin to have a good run, hopefully you will see Arsenal to return true.

“Manchester United had a poor start last season, not as bad as us, but may recover in this way have nothing to fear.”

Pat Rice revealed last night revealed that he hated every minute of Arsenal’s dramatic draw in Germany. The Gunners No2 stood in for Arsenal boss Wenger, who was serving a touchline ban.

Rice, who saw Robin van Persie’s opener cancelled out by a stunning 88th-minute strike from Ivan Perisic, said: “Did I like it? No. It has never been one of my ambitions to be manager of a football club.

“It was too stressful for me and extremely strange not to have the manager with me. He is normally shouting in my ear.

“It was a strange decision by UEFA for him not to be on the bench.

“But we battled really hard and we knew it would be a hard game. I don’t think many teams will beat Dortmund.

“Dortmund are a really good side. No question. From our point of view, we wanted to win the game. We were so close. We were very near.”

Dortmund equalised with a stunning 25-yard strike from substitute Perisic.

Rice said: “Their player could try that 35 or 40 times and he would hit it wide. It was a great goal.”

Asked if Arsenal have turned the corner, Rice added: “Very much so. Particularly the game on Saturday when we beat Swansea.

“It seemed as though it was our start to the season after uncertainty. The players we have signed are very good, contrary to what other people have said. I am sure they will show it in the games to come.”

Rice also praised skipper Van Persie, who discussed tactics with stand-in boss Rice during breaks throughout the game.

He said: “Robin is the club captain and we encouraged him to be verbal on the park and off it.

“He was asking me one or two things about what we could do better and I was saying one or two things which could make the team better.”

Van Persie struck in the 42nd minute with a superb right-foot shot after being put through by Theo Walcott.

Rice said: “As for the goal, it is nothing unusual to see Robin do that. It was a great run by Robin and a terrific ball through.

“It was unusual to see Robin hit it with that foot but it proves he is not a one-foot footballer.”

Wenger, who’s in Portugal for a friendly match against Benfica tonight has revealed that the pre-season turbulance is taking its toll as he tries to keep his stars like Fabregás and Nasri and sign news ones to strengthen the squad.
The gunners landed in Portugal yesterday without key players such as Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregás or Nasri.

Wenger stated that all the players were injured with the exception of wantaway skipper Fabregás.
The Arsenal boss maintains that Cesc Fabregás is not on strike despite mystery surrounding the seriousness of his injury as he trained in London yesterday. Fabregás has yet to debut in a pre season game.

Midfielder Gervinho and defender Jenkinson remain Arsenal’s only new faces despite fans wanting to see more signings.
Wenger conceded his team cannot afford any more injuries and hopes to make a least one more signing next week.

“We have had some sleepless nights and we were working non-stop through the summer”.
“The injuries are making things difficult. The season starts next week and then we have a Champions League qualifier.

“We need to qualify and hopefully we won’t have any more injuries from the international matches. We could be hit hard if we lose any more.
“Cesc is not ready to start a game. He has joined the group again. The rest is speculation.

Asked if cynical fans believe Fabregás is injured, Wenger said: “He is not injured. He is coming back from injury and is not ready to play.
“I do not want to speak about the transfer about Fabregás. I love Fabregás and I want him to stay.”

“It is important that we be in the Champions League and it is crucial we give everything to get there” Wenger said.

Wenger has admitted that he would like to add to the squad, but won’t go overspend or go overboard as he feels that the Gunners already have a strong base.

Arsène Wenger said: “We need to add, of course, and we will do. But we have a strong base.

“We have enough quality to beat anyone in the world, even with our current squad.

“You have a Champions League Final and only one team has beaten both of them and that is Arsenal.

“We have a good team and the best away team in the Premier League. “The loss of the Carling Cup Final had a huge impact on the team and we did not handle it well.

“It is not catastrophic and do not think we can go to Coventry and find the player who saves Arsenal Football Club.

“I always try to get value for money. That is the job of a football manager” said Wenger.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted his players lacked “maturity, experience and calm” but he stepped into the firing line after his side’s 2-1 loss to Bolton, saying it is he who should be blamed.

Arsene Wenger accepts there’s a slim chance

Arsenal’s already-slim chances of pushing for the Premier League title were reduced to a mere mathematical possibilty after Tamir Cohen headed a late winner at Reebok Stadium on Sunday, leaving the Gunners nine points behind Manchester United and three behind Chelsea with four games to play.

Arsene Wenger -squad’s mentality

Arsene Wenger conceded ground in the ongoing debate over his youthful squad’s mentality but he still refused to criticse them publicly, defending them to the point of sacrificing his own reputation by claiming he is at fault for the side’s poor run in recent months.

And to finish off Arsene Wenger said: “I feel the players have had an outstanding attitude this season. They are not to blame. If somebody is to blame, it’s me. I pick the team.

ARSENE Wenger is ready to enter a bidding war with AC Milan to pit Yaya Toure alongside brother Kolo at Arsenal.

Boss Wenger is preparing a £12million bid for the Barcelona star but accepts he may have to improve on that following the midfielder’s impressive Champions League performances against Chelsea and Manchester United.

The French coach has allayed fears he was set to quit Emirates Stadium for Real Madrid following criticism by some supporters in the wake of a fourth season without silverware. Wenger, whose contract runs until 2011, continues to have the full support of the board, with chief executive Ivan Gazidis insisting their manager was going nowhere when quizzed while on a visit to Dubai at the unveiling of a new football school.
