1. Sam Byram - Would be an excellent signing as cover at RB for Bellerin. He is homegrown. I cannot imagine West Ham willingly selling him to us, unless he is included in a deal, whereby with Ox or Walcott go to West Ham. Should we lose either of these players in order to secure Byram?
2. Wenger as England manager - I believe this won't happen, as Wenger previously stated that he would only be interested in managing his own country. He will, however use the speculation to enhance his own ambitions to remain as Arsenal manager for the foreseeable future.
3. Which forward should we and are we most likely to sign? My own choice would be Lukaku, even at a high cost.

A lot of people think Byram has some promise (I haven't really seen much of the lad, so can't place judgement) but why would we sign him?
We've got cover for Bellerin, in Chambers and (after injury) Jenko, who are both homegrown, I also can't imagine Byram being much better than either of them, not to mention Chambers is only 21
I agree with Arsene not being England manager, I just can't see it, he's got a good history of blooding youngsters and this IS what the England team needs, but I just can't see it.
I imagine he'll see out the remainder of his contract this season and then either renew it or look to manage in France.
I can't see him retiring just yet, he's only 66 and I think he genuinely still loves football.
