There were some honey words for Szczesny and the positive force he has been at the club from Wenger on Friday at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground but there were no assurances. Wenger tried to close down the debate over whether he had fined the player – he has, although he did not confirm it – or whether he has read the riot act to the squad over future conduct – he appears to have done that also – and he was gently dismissive of the inflammatory outburst from Szczesny’s father, Maciej.
