Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger urges Theo Walcott to show loyalty and sign new deal "When Fabregas says to me, "I want to go back to Barcelona," it is difficult for me to say, "No, why should you"?" he said. He is from Barcelona. He has been educated there. When a guy gets to 30, you can understand it is his last contract and if he feels he wants a change, I can understand that. This is a more sensitive age, but basically, it is a reward for our policy. I am a big supporter of Theo and I believe he is happy here. It would be a big loss for Arsenal. My gut feeling is that he belongs to this club. You would like them to stay because they love where they are and they are committed to the club. Negotiations have resumed over the past week between Walcott and Wenger, who is also hoping that the decision of Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Carl Jenkinson to sign long-term contracts will have a positive influence. Walcott has been offered a five-year deal worth £75,000 a week but, after his excellent form so far this season, there is a sense that an agreement could be found at closer to £85,000 a week. The recent running of Arsenal drew further criticism yesterday, however, from Alisher Usmanov, the club's second largest shareholder, who believes that Wenger has not been sufficiently supported. Usmanov told CNBC that it was a "mistake" to sell Van Persie and admitted that he "dreams" of taking control of Arsenal from Stan Kroenke, the majority shareholder. With an estimated fortune of £18 billion, Usmanov is richer even than Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich but has not been invited on to the Arsenal board. "It is very hard to understand and it rankles me that the current board doesn't want a person who is a 30 per cent investor to be on that board," he said.
