ARSENE WENGER has called a halt to all contract talks at Arsenal as he homes in on his European dream.
That may be bad news for Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott, who have still to agree extensions to deals which expire in less than 15 months.
And it will do nothing to halt speculation concerning the long-term futures of Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor.
But Wenger insists his players must be totally focused on what promises to be a dramatic final eight weeks of the season.
And he will not allow them to be distracted by talk of transfers and mega-money new deals to stay at the Emirates.
Wenger recalls how his team fell away in the title run-in last term as the likes of Alex Hleb and Mathieu Flamini pondered their options.
This time he is determined to keep his men on the straight and narrow in his fierce determination to lift the European Cup.
Wenger, whose side fly to Villarreal today for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, said: “We must get rid of all the talks that are not helping us to win games.
“That means we focus completely on the short-term not the long-term, because we have such important targets in front of us.
“If it’s going to be a successful season, we must play every three days. We cannot sit around talking to the players. When a player comes back from an away game, I don’t want him sitting at a desk the next morning. I want him recovering for the next game.
“I’ve never taken this approach before but I believe contract talks can be distracting and we are at a stage when every game is decisive.”
It is easy to understand Wenger’s demand for tunnel vision as his team have the chance to turn around their disappointing season.
The return of Fabregas, Adebayor and Walcott from injury on Saturday means Wenger is spoiled for choice.
In addition Van Persie and Samir Nasri will both be available to face Villarreal after sitting out this canter and even the absence of Andrey Arshavin, Eduardo and Abou Diaby leaves him with some tricky decisions tomorrow.
It was Fabregas and Adebayor who kept Arsenal on course for another Champions League qualification as City were brushed aside.

Fabregas teed up both goals and Adebayor finished with the minimum of fuss to extend Arsenal’s unbeaten league run to 17 games.
Wenger said: “Like the rest of the team, Adebayor was not completely convincing at the start of the season but is now back on track.”
The only bad news for Wenger is winger Walcott is struggling with the right knee injury which kept him out for England last week.
He came off as a precaution but insists he will be OK for tomorrow.
City boss Mark Hughes also has his injury worries ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Cup trip to Hamburg.
But, unlike Wenger, he does not have any convincing replacements.
With Stephen Ireland missing and Wayne Bridge and Vincent Kompany both limping off early, City were overwhelmed by Arsenal.
Once again there was an alarming lack of urgency and commitment about some of City’s highly-paid stars away from home.
Hughes said: “Our away performances are patently not good enough. We’re a fantastic team at Eastlands, full of goals and confidence. But when you come to a place like the Emirates you have to stick your chest out and say ‘Come on, what have you got?’
“We didn’t have enough on the pitch to ask the question. We’ve got to be markedly better in Hamburg.”
