Hi Ed's,
I know that he has recently signed for Roma, but did we/ any PL side have any interest in Kluivert?
I heard a rumour that we were keen but I was surprised that it was done so quickly to Roma without anyone else stepping in.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - No. I have told you where the interst has been from Arsenal.}

Hello Ed002, do you have a list or any idea whether arsenal are looking to buy any more centre backs?
{Ed002's Note - This was the list:
Sokratis Papastathopoulos (CB) – Will join - and done to death
Medhi Benatia (CB) - first choice in January and if Arsenal were looking to another CB the most obvious - against it is that Juventus met two other clubs in London about players last week and there were no discussions with Arsenal about players.
Caglar Soyuncu (CB) an option to Papastathopoulos
Daniele Rugani (CB) – a bit of a wildcard but has been looked at by Arsenal but heading elsewhere
Kalidou Koulibaly (CB) - an expensive and unlikely option
Chris Smalling (CB) - interest left with AW, but being English gives him an advantage. Harry Maguire might have been a better solution}

Thanks Ed, I thought the list would of changed slightly. Whenever your free can we get a lost of outgoings? But when your free because I know you travel a lot.
{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure too much has happened. The chap I know best regarding what is going on has been at the World Cup on a general type brief. I am not sure of his plans right now. There are. A few Sharkopods to do but Spurs will be first. Maybe an Everton style brain dump update if I am stretched and I need to do Pais and London in the next week so again travel. When I travel it gets tight on time and I need Hunter Thompson’s Breakfast of Champions and spare time to get by.
