Hi Ed,

Is Kevin Strootman, the Dutch midfielder, a possibility for Arsenal in the summer market? Anyone know anything about him. {Ed002's Note - Manchester United are looking at Kevin Strootman who has previously been watched by Liverpool but PSV may look not to sell just yet. So perhaps one for the summer but I would expect plenty of interest if he does become available.}

Hi Eds,

Just wondering f you know if Barcelona actually have any money and if so what their transfer budget is for this summer please?

According to various papers they're apparently after RVP, Javi Martinez and Bale. In the summer they got Fabgregas half price and to be honest after all their taping up and players gobbing off in the press I'd actually love it if all they could do this summer is sell, they're a disgrace! They seem to have the best contract negotiators in the world though and always seem to be able to poo money. How? {Ed002's Note - Barcona will have money available but I would not want to guess at a "budget". They can cherry pick players because they wish to move there.}

I asked this question to Graham Hunter (Sky La Liga) a few weeks back and he told me Barca would love Van Persie but they don't have the budget for him. Priority for them is centre half and that is where money will go in the summer, probably for Thiago Motta of Milan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Barcelona may be an attractive place to play football and the weather is fairly temperate but Barcelona is the most dangerous city I have ever stayed.

Is m'villa a realistic target for Arsenal or other Premier League clubs?

Believable25 Unbelievable3

He wants to work with wenger.

Agree0 Disagree0

There's interest from us and man city from the epl

Real Madrid from la liga

AC, inter and Roma from serie a, but Roma are looking likely to get moussa sissoko from Toulouse.

He has however stated his preference for us or Real Madrid.

(I sent this a possible three times or at least the start of it, because when I tried to correct a spelling mistake, I hit the frigging red post button!! Can we not move it AWAY from the text box?!?!)

20+ mill so probly not cos the rumours are podolski belhanda and vertonghen and vertonghen will be dm lb and cb cover i think its the most important sign for squad depth of the 3 i think belhanda will get most games as gervinho is crap and wenger is going too slow with the ox. ox would be a starter for most games with almost any other manager but cos of the injury woe's with jack expect wenger to be very cautious

Agree0 Disagree0

M'Vila wants a french manager with experience... WENGER?
