Don't often go back and see what I've posted before, but was this a cracking prediction or what?

19 Jul 2014 23:31:07
Know it was only a pub side really but holy hell Bellerin looks talented going forward. Aurier who?

Coquelin looked good too. Case of what could have been for the lad, Freiburg wasted a year of his career

You''re in the wrong line of work wire, clearly you should be a talent scout. Or a clairvoyant.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jul 2015 13:39:31
should have at least done the lottery!!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jul 2015 17:44:59
Lol I think that's about as far as my luck goes. No predictions for this year, got to keep that 100% record

Shaqiri to stoke for 12mil good deal a player I wouldn't mind in our squad

Believable1 Unbelievable1

01 Jul 2015 19:47:53
Completely agree imired

That's a great signing for Stoke, fair play

i wouldn't of been unhappy if we'd signed him tbh
Decent little player

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 23:32:24
bojan and shaqiri tearing it up next season, that's an awesome signing for stoke. if they can get hold of a slightly more cultured centre forward, they could be a good little side. solid back 5 and tough as nails center mids, could be quite a cool team to watch, didn't think i'd ever say that when Rory delap was terrorising us with his freaky throw-ins

Well the man Sanchez has played 6 full 90 minutes since the FA Cup final, let's hope the 7th brings him a goal or 2 and another winners medal, that and a well earned rest.

He must be bloody knackered! :-)

Luckily for us Red he's only gone into the tournament half heated covering a mere 38 miles and having only 142 touches of the ball per game.
He's obviously saving himself for us and the new season, as much as he will probably protest I'd make him take his first morning back in the UK off as summer break whether he feels it necessary or not.

Agree0 Disagree2

01 Jul 2015 19:05:38
I'd rest him until the second match of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 20:03:51
You lot are too soft.

Bring him on after 6 minutes of West Ham game :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 21:42:06
Resting him for the west Ham game is an excellent idea, now who's going to be the one to tell him? :-)

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Jul 2015 15:49:03
I actually think its a great thing there isn't those 2 CL Qualifications so we can take it a bit easy and theo and ox can cover for a while. Unless he wants that golden boot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Something never change

Good look to the women tonight. Apparently for some its the first time they have seen a semi. A new experience.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

01 Jul 2015 17:22:50
I'm sure they will be up for it tonight 😥

01 Jul 2015 17:38:16
Well those who are witnessing a semi for the first time I can almost guarantee them that it will get hard

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 16:39:15
Hey ed just heard that real Madrid would consider selling Karim Benzema to arsenal.rafa recently admitted his desire to play Cristiano ronaldo upfront that's why he has signed lucas Vasquez the 23yr old winger from Rcd Espanyol,just wanted to know if there is a strong interest from arsenal and wenger of late....

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with Arsenal, but RM may well be selling KB and Arsenal may be interested.}

01 Jul 2015 16:36:15
Hiya eds lots of talk of midfield transfers, I believe our main target is Carvalho, are you aware of any negotiations or expected bid, greatly appreciated

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I have explained that there will be no blow-by-blow updates.}

01 Jul 2015 16:39:56
Okay fair enough, personally do you think we will sign a midfielder

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 16:48:21
Do you think we are looking at another defensive midfielder.?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 19:50:14
You are digging yourself an early grave my friend :)

01 Jul 2015 13:25:15

Ed002 you have previously said that a lot of teams dropped interest in zakaria Bakkali. I just wanted to know if you know why? I've watched him a few times and think that under the right guidance he could be a top player?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I am not getting in to any detail.}

01 Jul 2015 15:24:20
google bakkali, its pretty easy to find reasons why he's off the radar of most teams

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 11:14:13
West Brom interested in Austin
Dags, its got to stop mate...
you might think he's the next ronaldo but he's more like the next robinho....

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2015 13:01:11
Or the next Joe

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 16:06:56
WG,

He could be our top boy mate, if given a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 17:27:32
God I forgot all about jo.. Hahaha he was terrible

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 22:57:54
aw man, he was shocking, poor 025, having to get behind that...

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 10:57:55
So Vargas has scored a few goals and arsenal are now interested. And on top of that Sanchez is begging wenger to buy him yes Sanchez is begging wenger he's begging Vidal begging begging begging.
Everyone must be sick to death of sanchez begging everyone

So Diaby has officially left Arsenal. All jokes about his injuries aside i always hoped he would come back. It was more unlikely with every injury but i still hoped. It's been said many times but he really was destined to be a world beater but i guess it wasn't meant to be.
Even now when he left Arsenal i wish that he recovers and finds another club as soon as possible and end his nightmare.
Thank you Abou for everything you did for Arsenal when you could!

Believable5 Unbelievable1

01 Jul 2015 14:13:54
I hope he goes on to stay fit, i would imagine a league less physically challenging would do him the world of good.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 15:27:17
Diaby really wasn't anything special, maybe in another life he couldve been, but in my eyes won outstanding performance against liverpool don't excuse the dire performances he put in for us on the wings and in attacking mid, he was really quite lazy sometimes. still, wish him all the best for the future

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 17:57:49
For me a fully fit diaby goes straight into the team he's not a winger but still played ok

Agree0 Disagree0

Looking at our current squad, unless we sell or release some players, we appear to have our squad virtually in place.
We have 4 keepers & will sell one, so 3 remain.
We have 8 defenders.
We have 9 midfield players.
We have 6 forwards, if you include Akpom & Gnabry.

That makes 26 players, including some players who were under 21 as at January 10th 2015.

That doesn't take into account: Jenkinson, Podolski, Campbell & Sanogo.

At best I can only see us signing one or two more players, unless there is an unexpected sale of a player.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2015 11:11:30
I like to think we will send some strong players out on loan to keep them happy with minutes on the pitch

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 08:58:14
I have feeling that some people day after day are asking about the random players... I can see why Ed's sometime not so pleased with question. You can't everyday ask about players who have scored or played day before. Arsenal is not trying to buy all the players who scored/played well in yesterday match. I hope you guys see my point....

Did you know Flamini has never cost anyone a penny in transfer fee's, there can't be many players who've been transferred 3 times to such high profile clubs during their career and conistantly played champions league football yet have a career transfer total of 0

Believable1 Unbelievable1

01 Jul 2015 10:28:29
Sol Campbell

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 10:40:58
Did he come to Arsenal on a free from Marseille or whichever French team it was first time around?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 11:01:45
Yeah apparently he cost us nothing either time we signed him, Sol is a good one too, any more folks?
Criteria must have played CL football let's say 3 seasons or more and moved clubs 3 times or more with no transfer fee ever being paid for them during their career.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2015 11:06:04
I think so lads.bantah.

It looks like he verbally agreed terms with Marseille for a new contract and then didn't sign it when it was drawn up leading the manager to say "this is a beautiful treason. He used me."

I'm not sure what's so beautiful about it personally.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 12:06:22
steve mcmanaman played for liverpool and then moved to madrid on a free where he won the champions league and then moved on a free to manchester city, never cost anyone anything and has won a fair amount of trophies, not arsenal i know but was close to jointing arsenal but instead returned to perm through city

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2015 12:58:27
Brilliant one GUNNER i never knew that and I thought Flamini was a shock :-).
They don't need to Arsenal related just to have players CL football for 3 seasons or more and have moved 3 minimum but never cost a penny in transfer fees in their career.
