‘I Would Take Robert Pires Tomorrow’ – Arsene Wenger
By Ollie Irish
Following his release by Villarreal, Robert Pires is training with Arsenal in a bid to maintain his fitness. But Arsene Wenger is not tempted by the prospect of re-signing old Bob (he’s 36 now) on a short-term contract, even though he says other Prem managers should be more than interested in the Frenchman.
“I like Pires and I am very proud that every player who plays for us wants to come back because it was a special experience in their lives,” Wenger said. “But we already have enough players at Arsenal and a big enough squad.
“We will respect our wage bill and will not go above what we have planned financially. I have Rosicky, Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere, Walcott and Arshavin, who all play in the same kind of manner.
“I will help Robert Pires to get fit and, believe me, he can still play in the Premier League. If I was a Premier League manager looking for a creative player, I would take Pires tomorrow.”
Tony Pulis, Big Sam Allardyce etc. … are you listening?
Gooners of the world, would you welcome Pires back into your squad, or don’t you do charity?

Blocking you from newsnow for misleading headline. Want clicks for advertising? Suck my ass.
Thanks dude. You are awesome.
his age doesn’t matter, it’s just that he’s not needed. but pires will prolly feel too big to join some shitty side like stoke city.
i would like to have him back but if wenger says hes too expensive then thats probably true. in arsene we trust – he knows best
He’s gonna join newcastle on a free. Especially as ben afa broke his leg. Its so obvious
What’s misleading about the headline? Ollie took a quote from Wenger and it is still true regardless of the context.
I have to admit… it is a bit misleading…
but DJ mate stfu
DJ must be an Arsenal fan. What a fagggggggg.
I like Arsenal as well btw.
