Arsenal boss Wenger hopes Reyes gets Real Madrid deal
tribalfooball.com - November 05, 2006

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he would not be averse to seeing Jose Antonio Reyes make his move to Real Madrid permanent.

The Spanish winger headed to the Bernabeu on transfer deadline day as part of the deal which took Brazilian Julio Baptista to Arsenal.

The 23-year-old, though, maintained he just could not adapt to the change in culture, had become "bored" in England and did not wish to ever return.

Wenger said: "Not only Reyes can make that decision - what will guide me is firstly the interest of the club.

"If that interest coincides with the interest of Reyes, then I am even happier."

The Arsenal manager added: "I like Reyes. He is a very nice boy and he was not unhappy with the team.

"He just never really settled here with the English style of life, and that comes out in his statement."

:arsenal:

personally, i tink he'll stay with Real- he wont be able to go back and get into the english way of life again! Poor guy :header:

i think reyses will stay but i'm hopin and praying that we don't swap him for baptista we want money or a player who will fit into our style of play better than baptista, plz plz wenger don't5do a swap reyes for baptista plz plz.
