    Any news on this?

    He does get one doesn't he? He has been with us for 10 years, and I believe he is not signing an extension.

    Good on him, great player on his day, a shame about the injuries over the years. Especially that 2 year spell he was out. (in his prime no less!)

    Don't quote me on this, but I think you'll find that he is entitled to 50% of Wenger's salary for the 2016/17 season and 25% of his final pension because his injuries were all Wenger's fault :)

    If anyone deserves one its him. Such a shame about the injuries.

    I remember that season with Hleb (I think it was 07/08) where they were both shredding the midfield. They really clicked together and were a really skilful creative pairing. Shame it didn't last and bigger shame for Rosicky that injuries robbed him of his best years.

    That season (07-08) that whole midfield (Cesc, Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky) were on fire, but they also got along off the pitch. They were all really good mates, and still keep in touch apparently.

    Our best midfield since the invincibles in my opinion. They used to give everyone hell and rarely were outpassed. Even when we played Barca we held our own. Only issue is we didn't have a good enough DM or keeper.

    Only 10 years? I thought Rosicky had been at the Gunners for longer, like since Euro '96.

    From Czech Republic we got Berger
    Man U got Poborsky
    and you got Rosicky.
