[b]Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has rejected reports that
have suggested Glenn Roeder is to be appointed as the club's
director of football.
Wenger is known to be drawing up a list of candidates for the
position and the latest round of speculation has intimated Roeder
is the front runner for the post.
Former Newcastle boss Roeder is eager to return to football after
being shown the St James' Park exit door last season but while
Wenger insists he is an admirer, no deal has been done as
yet.
"I like Glenn Roeder, but I've not met with him," he said.
"At the moment I've not decided to appoint him. He would feature on
a list of candidates, though."
Meanwhile, the French tactician has confirmed that Jose Antonio
Reyes will definitely not be returning to North London.
The Spain international spent last season on-loan at Real Madrid
and while his future remains the subject of conjecture, Wenger is
hopeful that there will be a positive outcome to the situation
before too long.
"We will make an announcement shortly, but he will not come back
here," Wenger added.
"I cannot tell you more than that at the moment."
It has been reported in Spain that a deal has been struck with
Atletico Madrid and that the player could make the move on
Monday.[/b]
hope gunners exchange a winger...
