Gallas only offered another year
Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood has revealed that the 32-year-old centre-back will only be offered a new 12-month deal ahead of the summer when his current terms expire.[LNB]Gallas' future is therefore far from certain as it was expected that the first-team regular would want assurances and AC Milan are reportedly monitoring the situation.[LNB]But ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium, Hill-Wood claims that Wenger is not ready to break his policy of only offering one-year contracts to players over the age of 30.[LNB]Hill-Wood said: "Arsene has a policy with players who are aged 30 to offer them one-year extensions.[LNB]"He has not asked us to make an exception for Gallas. If he did, I am sure the board would agree to it.[LNB]"It is not out of the question, but it is certainly not on the table at the moment.[LNB]"I think it is proper for players of that age to get one-year deals. Then if they do well, they get another year.[LNB]"It worked perfectly well for the likes of Dennis Bergkamp."[LNB][LNB] Barclays Prem 2009/10 Win Outright: Arsenal 16/1
