It is impossible to kick off an Arsenal season preview without turning the focus on to money. The Frenchman always has Arsenal in the Champions League places to keep the tills ticking over, while he champions an attractive playing style. Giroud is a very good player but the fear is he is not good enough to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title, which Wenger must win to vindicate the second part of his near-20-year tenure. And if there is one obsession of recent years among the Arsenal fanbase, it is new signings. Stan Kroenke, the club’s majority shareholder, would like to retain Wenger beyond the end of this season and why not?
