Might not be Walcott, might be a signing of a totally different kind.....

Oh and <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Robert Pires has revealed he is prepared to take a pay cut to stay at Arsenal, and insists he will not speak to any other clubs until he has resolved his Gunners future.

The French ace is out of contract at the end of the season and is waiting to meet Arsene Wenger to discuss his situation.

The midfielder is chasing a new two-year deal, but Wenger has previously been reluctant to hand his elder statesmen more than 12-month contracts.

Pires has been encouraged by Wenger's recent comments that he could consider handing the former Marseille man the contract he wishes.

The 32-year-old is now hoping to reach a compromise with The Gunners, which would allow him to stay at the club when they move into their new home at Ashburton Grove.

In addition, Pires has ruled out taking advantage of his impending Bosman status and will not talk to other teams.

"I don't know what will happen as I have still not met Arsene Wenger," Pires told L'Equipe. "We should have a meeting before January 31.

"I am waiting to see what he will offer me. Ten days ago in the press, he said he was keen to offer me a two-year contract.

"It is impossible to keep my present conditions. At a certain time, you have to accept a wage cut.

"But about the duration, I still wish for two years.

"As long as I have not sorted out my case with Arsenal, I will not listen to other clubs. It would be a lack of respect for the club which gave me so much.

"So I am waiting. Very honestly, that doesn't disturb me. I trust Arsene Wenger and Arsenal." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

If you mean re-signing contracts, people never talk about them like that, unless they are looking for a soundbite. i.e. our most important signing this season was re-signing Henry (for example). Might not be Walcott, but he's not reffering to a Henry contract.

And Pires :*)

for monaco he spent a lot of time on the right wing.

Seeing as we're just over half way in the season, I've been comparing our goalscoring from last season to this.

Starts(sub) - goals - asists

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">

2004/05 - 38 games

Henry – 31(1) - 25 - 15

Pires – 26(7) - 14 - 2

Ljungberg – 24(2) – 10 - 9

Reyes – 25(5) - 9 - 10

Bergkamp – 20(9) - 8 - 13

Fabregas – 24(9) - 2 - 4

Van Persie –12(14) - 5 - 1

2005/06 - 21 games

Henry – 15 - 13 - 2

Van Persie – 8(6) - 4 - 1

Reyes – 15(2) - 3 - 9

Pires – 14(5) - 3 - 1

Fabregas – 19(2) - 1 - 2

Bergkamp – 8(8) - 1 - 1

Ljungberg – 14(1) - 0 - 2

</pre>

Reyes seems to be the only on bothering with assists this season, and Freddie is just really not doing anything. Does highlight our reliance on Henry to put it away.
