Eds Telegraph reporting we are interested in Vargas. Just paper talk or genuine interest? Cheers mate
{Ed002's Note - I can't help, sorry.}

just buy the chilean national team while we at it.
2.) 01 Jul 2015 10:58:32
Probably lazy journalism due to his fantastic Copa America and his great goal last night, plus the fact he is Sanchez' compatriot.
Wouldn't want a player who refuses to come on as a substitute anyway. He is a Forward/Winger - we have better wingers already and he doesn't score enough goals to play up front (22 apps, 4 goals for QPR last season).
3.) 01 Jul 2015 11:45:03
A great impact player imo, but that's it and we have plenty mpact wingers allready so think this is just paper talk.
4.) 01 Jul 2015 15:21:22
never sign someone off the back of a decent tournament. inflated price due to interest, and form over 4-5 games is not a good indicator of a players quality, as anyone who has watched QPR this season will know, he ended the season in a not to shabby spout of form but over the season was really quite poor. I'd say its a non starter
5.) 01 Jul 2015 20:47:25
I believe there was a tenuous link in a paper about Sanchez suggesting arsenal buy him some dodgy headline to get click like "Sanchez puts in transfer request" so I wouldn't read much into it
29 Jun 2015 17:04:57
Eds is there any interest in Luiz Adriano from arsenal?
{Ed002's Note - Surprisingly no.}
1.) 29 Jun 2015 19:57:10
Surprisingly indeed. Think he'd be a great goal scorer. Thanks ed.
2.) 30 Jun 2015 00:59:48
just had to double check who you meant there... You mean that sloppy bloke who plays in the ukrainian league and can't get into the brazil squad right?
25 Jun 2015 20:32:16
Hi eds do we have an interest in N'Zonzi?
And also do we have an interest in Gonalons?
I think they are both good additions, cheers eds

Gonna get slated for saying this I reckon, I don't want arsenal to sign Vidal.
1.) 28 Jun 2015 14:59:38
Evereyone has there prefrece some wanted Spyder others wanted kongdogbia I wanted gundagon/illarmendi or javi Martinez any 1 of those but Vidal will give 100% and is really competitive maybe he would b a good fit
2.) 28 Jun 2015 15:23:02
I 100% agree with you, but I do not believe vidal is a cdm that is the only reason I don't want him, I want a proper cdm like spyder,Carvallho and Wanyama, if we didn't have Ozil Id be over the moon with the Vidal link, obviously if we do sign him he'll have my full support but I just think we should Persue another path and go for Wanyama type cdm. But like you said mate, everyone has a preference!
{Ed001's Note - Schneiderlin is not a DM either. Wanyama plays as the DM, not Schneiderlin.}
3.) 28 Jun 2015 15:48:54
well for me vidal is the player i have been most excited about us being linked with throughout the entire window, he's the signing i really wanted to see happen. such a quality player and will along with cech make us tittle contenders for sure, he has a fantastic winning mentality and will add so much steal and grit to our midfield. a midfield of the coq vidal and ramsey is as good as it gets and has just about everything
4.) 28 Jun 2015 16:08:23
Maybe a 433 with coq& Vidal would work really well.
5.) 28 Jun 2015 16:24:40
Vidal scares the crap out of me - he was atrocious in the CL final.
6.) 28 Jun 2015 17:14:43
To be fair Rooster all players have poor games and sometimes it's when they'd least want it too happen.
7.) 28 Jun 2015 17:15:40
A midfield of Coq Vidal and Ramsey is fantastic but missing its most important cog....called cazorla...if Coq is undroppable how come caz is, based on oLast seasons performances? Vidal is a great player, but we already can't fit wilshire, Ramsey and caz in the same team, and playing 4-3-3 means Ozil out wide, which we mostly agree is not using him in his best position. So why would Wenger give himself more selection headaches by signing Vidal (who wouldn't sign unless given assurances on playing surely?)
8.) 28 Jun 2015 18:20:42
honestly i think ozil has to play in the wide right position he was bad on the wing early in the season because wenger had him on the left but on the right he can cut in on his left foot and create. in the middle ozil does not offer enough on the defensive side and enough physicality for me. although i agree with you cazorla was amazing last season i feel as though the midfield three i mentioned has a greater balance and physicality as well as more goal and i can honestly see cazorla tailing off next season unfortunately.
27 Jun 2015 14:23:45
Ed002 can I ask yours and anyone else who wants to tell me their opinion on Maxime Gonalons? I personally think he'd be a great fit for the cdm spot at arsenal, just want to know what others think.
{Ed002's Note - I really try and avoid giving opinions on players.}
1.) 27 Jun 2015 22:23:18
Love him! I believe he has played CB on occasion too which would be fantastic if we happened to get him as unlikely as that is. He's like a less injury prone Javi Martinez but you know, not as good in my opinion.
2.) 28 Jun 2015 10:58:13
Ed, was it you that was mentioning 'marvellous Marvin martin' a few years ago, or was it another? ;-)
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about.}
24 Jun 2015 16:03:52
Ssn reporting that chelsea and man c are reportedly trying to acquire the services of Alex Song. Now, I don't really want Mr Song more than I want Carvallho or any of the two saints lads, but I just thought that we would be trying to get him as I don't believe Barca would command a huge fee, just thought we'd be interested. Any thoughts?
1.) 24 Jun 2015 18:32:29
He would be bought to make up quotas at man c and chel, he would rarely play. We don't want him on our bench and he is not up to standard to challenge for a place. he's not a top player, he's not young and we don't need to go back there, we need to aim higher and better.
2.) 24 Jun 2015 18:57:04
Started off like an express train at West Ham.
After Xmas he was more like Thomas The Tank Engine.
No thanks.
3.) 24 Jun 2015 19:03:59
Agreed Steve, it would be a backward step, we need to MOVE on :)
4.) 24 Jun 2015 23:00:08
5mil he's still a decent player
29 Aug 2014 17:52:29
Update on Alex song? Surely he's better than west ham
1.) No not really he's average at best.
08 Jul 2015 14:55:58
Your name is so much better than mine...
29 Jun 2015 19:57:10
Surprisingly indeed. Think he'd be a great goal scorer. Thanks ed.
13 Sep 2015 11:57:54
But he's a free transfer so it doesn't matter if the transfer window is shut does it? I'm not saying I want him by the way
{Ed002's Note - Yes it does, he is not able to sign for a Premier League club until the transfer window is open in January.}
28 Jun 2015 16:16:32
Great points mate, I am one of the fans who questioned the Vidal signing not because I don't think he's good, his talent is not questionable he's great and he's an engine. The only reason I questioned it is because I wanted a cdm not a box to box midfielder I would of liked Wanyama. But guess what boys, i'm not the manager, in the space of 3 hours my outlook has changed on Vidal because a box to box with his work rate would be brilliant. Maybe I should put some more thoughts into my opinions ey?
28 Jun 2015 16:08:23
Maybe a 433 with coq& Vidal would work really well.
28 Jun 2015 15:24:53
Jefly mate, just thought Id tell you because you don't seem to be clocking on, 'awns' isn't working for you. Took me a while but I believe you want 'answer' not that hard son.
28 Jun 2015 15:23:02
