Edu admits he has spoken to Arsene Wenger about Arsenal return
For some, going back to something that they once were involved with can be a rather incredible thing and an experience that they will be able to enjoy.
For others, though, the sheer idea of going back is something that should not even ever be entertained and one that can only end up in disappointment; the same level of disappointment that many have experienced when they have not used the casino bonus offers that can be found on allvideoslots.com regularly.
However, of the two, it would seem that many at Arsenal are believers of the first of the two scenarios, as talk continues about a possible Arsene Wenger return to the club.
Mikel Arteta had recently been calling for the legendary boss to come back to the Emirates Stadium to help him recreate the culture that was experienced during the famous Invincible period and now it would seem those sentiments have also been echoed by another influential figure at the club.
Indeed, Edu now works as the technical director however he was brought to north London and the Premier League by Wenger as a player and has since revealed that he wants the iconic former French manager to leave his role as FIFA’s chief of global football development and return to the Gunners in a capacity that can help them.
Writing in his programme notes ahead of the 2-0 victory against Newcastle United last Saturday, the Brazilian revealed that he had spoken to his former manager about a range of different things, including how important he was on the South American’s playing career and how special it would be to work with him once again at Arsenal.
Via the Evening Standard, Edu wrote: “It was great to see Arsene Wenger the other day at the screening for his new documentary.
“We had a good conversation, and I said to him that he cannot realise how important he is for my career.
“I told him I would like to see him a bit closer to the club and to myself as well in the future. That would be a real, real pleasure and special for everyone here.
“I also told him I was so proud to see myself in his film – it brought back lots of great memories about that Invincibles team!
“I loved watching how we built that team, how we built that season, how we went for every single game – against Manchester United, against Liverpool – those huge games and how we approached them.
“These are the beautiful memories I have as a player, but now I am a technical director, and I was watching it thinking about how we can create that culture that Arsene had at that moment.
“The mentality that the players had, the feeling we had in the dressing room and what we built together as a team.
“I remember the respect we had between all the players – you need that in a long, long season together.
“We were good friends, and we worked for each other. If I can help create that again, then that’s what we want to do.”
Indeed, whether Wenger would be prepared to leave his role at FIFA and make a return to Arsenal is something that remains to be seen, although there will be many supporters who will say it has its benefits and drawbacks.
There will be some who may be critical about whether it would work and that it is best to move on, despite the fact that he has done so much for the club in the past, whilst other fans will feel that the current crop of players and staff would benefit by having him at the club and working closely with him.
