Interesting listening to Christian purslow talk about Chelsea’s academy been one big cash cow of a player farm!

29 Jan 2018 20:03:49
Chelski djeko deal off, what can we read into that. Or what will we read into it.

29 Jan 2018 20:11:18
With Sanchez and Wally gone, we need to keep Giroud.

He gives us options and a plan B.

29 Jan 2018 21:12:43
the long ball.

29 Jan 2018 21:15:01
He got to play more to ne in world cup dags, i don't see it. Like it or lump it we have welbeck, whose younger and more agile.

29 Jan 2018 21:22:41
£15 mil and he can play in Champs league. Sounds like a good deal to me!

29 Jan 2018 21:40:08
If there is any grain of truth in the 15 mil rumour, i'm sure there is more to it than meets the eye. Luis anyone?

29 Jan 2018 21:55:43
I don't get it why Giroud only for 15mil? Plus add ons 5 MIL maybe. Are we getting Luiz? . Better than Evans.

29 Jan 2018 22:00:43
Chelsea are in a strong negotiating possition if the whole Batshuayi thing is correct.

29 Jan 2018 22:09:48
Luiz is better than evans and i don't understand why we haven't gone there. he's in london and would improve us.

29 Jan 2018 23:50:11
You can have Luiz in the summer window.

29 Jan 2018 19:20:37
I’m excited by the arsenal attack, haven’t had this feeling for years, the big one now is Ozil! Come on, sign a new deal.

29 Jan 2018 19:46:51
its looking good.

29 Jan 2018 18:44:19
Can we bring in Mahrez now. He is surely there for the taking and at 26 in his prime.

29 Jan 2018 18:56:28
That would be great plus a towering beast of a CDM!

29 Jan 2018 19:00:10
I’d love it. Mahrez on the left, Aubameyang centre and Lacazette on the right with all 3 interchanging. Then have Giroud in the middle from the bench and the pace of either of them on the wing as support men as a plan b, it would be epic!

29 Jan 2018 17:02:07
Hi all I’ve been away for quite a while but have been keeping an eye on the site I’d like to say thanks to the Ed’s for doing a great job and giving us as much info as you can.


Just wanted to know if auba comes in which is looking likely. And now that the miki Sanchez deal is done do u think Wenger will look to find a replacement for oxlaide chamberlain. Or do you think we will just be looking at trying to get defensive players in ie evans or maybe a dm

As we’ve sold 3 attacking players and it looks like we’ve got 2 in.
Thanks Ed.

{Ed002's Note - It is the Walcott/OC spot on the right that is missing a player MG. The Malcom/Moura role.}

29 Jan 2018 17:28:35
Yep, exactly what I said earlier.

Mahrez would fit the bill perfectly.

29 Jan 2018 17:40:56
Would be nice if a deal could be done for Malcolm.

29 Jan 2018 19:17:59
Forget Malcolm, where should micki play? It’s going to be Ozil, micki, Aruba and lac, no room for any mire.

29 Jan 2018 17:37:25
Thanks for a quick reply ed really appreciate your insight.
In your personal opinion which of the 2 would we most likely see in an arsenal shirt?

{Ed002's Note - I really cannot answer "most likely" questions. Malcom is expensive - very expensive and unproven. Moura is really high risk and close to a move to another side. How about a late Mahrez bid.}

29 Jan 2018 23:45:12
Do you know something ed mahrez ed lol.

29 Jan 2018 15:51:20
is it me or do's any one else think n. e spurs profile picture looks like a chicken on a beach ball. ☺ cluck cluck come back when you actually win something.

29 Jan 2018 16:09:38
Yes arbie, its a male chicken.

29 Jan 2018 16:19:09
I think you call that a cock! The male chicken not NES of course 😂.

29 Jan 2018 16:43:42
Dear old NES, loves a hashtag, first of all it was #enjoytheride, that didn’t go to plan and it was #toysoutthepram followed by a name change to Durwayne and a load of abuse on the chat page before a return as NES again and now suddenly #itsonlyagame and #bemyfwenddags, well until Kane leaves then he’ll have another melt down.

#blessthepoorbitterlittlespud.

29 Jan 2018 17:49:59
Stoner, I thought EVERYONE used the hashtag #bemyfwenddags

#duhwaynehadhisdummystolen.

29 Jan 2018 17:57:25
#LoveitStoner 😁.

29 Jan 2018 13:36:33
Hi Eds, do you see any chance of Arsenal moving for FC Mainz's Abdou Diallo before the end of the January window? If not, is a summer move likely? Thanks a lot.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer about timing and likliness.}

29 Jan 2018 13:56:39
Can I ask why not? I'm only asking your personal opinion based on what you know. Are we even interested in him? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Because if I say he will sign by midday the abuse will start one minute later. The word "likely" is subjective.}

29 Jan 2018 04:22:49
I think if we somehow convince Dortmund or Chelsea to take welbeck instead of Giroud, would be a great window for us.

29 Jan 2018 08:14:41
Really, in loosing your best player and taking a United reject. only from a gooner.

29 Jan 2018 08:31:44
Assuming we sign Aubameyang as well. We have made Sanchez almost complete his contract and have replaced him with a good player.

29 Jan 2018 13:29:58
Sanchez, who!

29 Jan 2018 13:56:20
Oh Duhwayne, are you feeling particularly "touche" today? Did an Arsenal baby steal your dummy at the nursery?

29 Jan 2018 15:34:36
Sharpie 😂😂😂.

29 Jan 2018 15:34:51
NES you are clearly jealous of our transfers!

29 Jan 2018 16:17:51
No gunnerbod, he isnt. Really.
