Parlour proposes Simeone as Wenger's replacement

There is a small problem with the claims of former Arsenal player Ray Parlour who loves the Gunners, Diego Simeone seems to be invested in only managing the teams he played in during his professional career. This leaves Arsenal completely out of the equation but hey, it's nice to have dreams and why not right? Parlour spoke to the Metro about the possibility of the Argentine manager taking Arsene Wenger's place when the Frenchman retires.

He said: "It could possibly be his [Wenger's] last year at the club. He's got one year on his contract. He's done such a fantastic job. He's moved it all so far on, brought in a new stadium, a new training ground, but he may have got to the stage where he's had enough now. Who comes in? You've already got to assess the situation of who's available in the summer and who you can get. People always say Simeone; will he be good enough for Arsenal? He's obviously been a bit more defensive-minded at Atletico Madrid but he gets results. Arsenal need someone of that caliber so he would be a really good appointment."

About the Thierry Henry option, Parlour isn't so convinced yet: "Henry still might end up being Wenger's successor. It's a full-time job being Under-18s manager. You've got to be there every day looking at kids, doing a lot of traveling. It's a big commitment to make. I can see both sides of the story. Thierry was a fantastic player and he's a great lad and a very intelligent guy. Maybe one day he will be a manager but, at the moment, he's got his punditry. I can still see one day he'll be back there and maybe be a manager. He's a guy who can always attract players as a manager and he's got big ideas. But I still think it was the right decision for both parties to walk away. They've still got massive respect for each other and that will all be put aside."
