The subtle manoeuvring within the Arsenal boardroom has taken another twist after the American billionaire Stan Kroenke, the club's largest shareholder, increased his stake to 28.58% to edge closer to the 30% threshold that would demand he make an offer for the remaining shares.
Kroenke purchased a further 160 shares yesterday, at £8,500 each, to reinforce his position as the club's major shareholder. The move came just two days after the second largest shareholder, the Uzbek metals magnate Alisher Usmanov, was dismayed to see an offer to underwrite a rights issue that would have generated some £60m for transfers and eaten into the club's £400m debts rejected by board members.
Usmanov admitted his frustration at seeing his scheme thrown out, with the chief executive, Ivan Gazidis, insistent that Arsenal's current strategy – whereby the Emirates Stadium is essentially self-financing and transfer spending is less lavish – is "efficient" and would remain their favoured policy. That difference in opinion continues to simmer while Kroenke, who has indicated in the past that he does not intend to mount a takeover of the London club, has quietly added to his stake.
Arsenal's own squad strengthening continues with the club hopeful of securing the Saint-Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi for around £3m. The 22-year-old midfielder, a regular at the French club last season, has spent the last few days in talks in London and should join the Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen, a £10m acquisition from Ajax, at the Emirates next term.

첫댓글 마투이티 영입이 하나도 안 반갑지 왜 ㅡ,.ㅡ 그냥 괴칸 인러좀 질르시면 안되나..
마튀디도 잘하는데 리그1에서는 수준급인데...
시강처럼될수있어서...리그앙보시는분들께 물어보니깐 리그앙에서 좋은유망주정도로 평가하시더라구여 그래서좀 ;;아스날은 클래스있는선수가필요해서....프랑스국대인디아비나...프랑스u21인 마튀디나..
아스날은 즉시 주전이 될만한 선수가 필요하지 또 다른 유망주는 필요없죠. 넘치는게 유망주고, 제 2의 ㅇㅇㅇ
디아비는 프랑스 국대에 최근에 2연속인가 3연속 불렸는데 국대라고 할 수 없습니다. 지금 여러 선수들 시험기간이라서 그렇지 정작 경기에는 뛰지도 못하고 메이저대회에 승선할 가능성도 낮아보이죠. ;
문제는 벵거는 디아비를 국대라고 생각하는거죠.
