Ed, do you think Arsenal are likely to bid/sign anyone before the world cup starts? if so any ideas on who the possible signings might be?

Believable7 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - The transfer window does not open until after the WC starts, so nobody will sign. The club may or may not have someone agree to sign before that.}

So in a way Wenger is sort of correct, that most clubs won't be signing until after the WC.

Agree1 Disagree0

Unless they sign a Scot or Welshman!,

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe the window opens on July 1st, so no announcements will be made until then. The World Cup Finals, will of course cause added complications, with many players being away.

Agree0 Disagree1

Thank god we can tap up all that welsh talent ay? ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Just been reminded that Eto'o is out of contract this summer, a very useful striker in front of goal even if he is getting on a little now. Would Arsenal consider him as an option for a year to ease our striker shortages and leave more money to be spent elsewhere, such as CDM?

Believable6 Unbelievable19

{Ed002's Note - In signing on fee and wages it will be £10M for a one year deal for a 40 year old.}

HAHA ok, yeah that's fair enough. Probably best use the money elsewhere for someone with some longevity.

Agree0 Disagree1

Have Juventus moved ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool for Alexis Sanchez?

recent reports say that juventus have agreed terms with sanchez.

some info on this would be appreciated EDs.

Believable12 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - Juve has been talking to Barcelona about him for several months.}

Hi eds,
Is there any chance of Hulk moving this Summer? I'd love to see him at the Gunners.

Believable1 Unbelievable19

{Ed002's Note - Right now it seems unlikely.}

Any interest from arsenal in Mateo musacchio? IF he is a free transfer it could be the best business of the window. Top player.

Believable5 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - Mateo Musacchio has attracted the attention of Fiorentina, Manchester City, Manchester United and AC Milan. He would be very expensive to buy and certainly won't be free in the summer.}

I thought there was a question mark on wether or not he was in contract, sorry. Still think he's one of the best CBs in la liga but perhaps not for a major fee.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - His contract runs until 2018.}

So I've just heard that Suarez has recently enrolled his daughter into a school in Liverpool.

If this is true then it's really thrown a spanner into the works if we were serious about a move for Benzema this summer.

Ed's - What strikers other than Suarez are Real Madrid showing interest in this summer? And what's your take on our links with Benzema?

Believable10 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Aguero and Cavani. Suare's daughter going to school has nothing to do with Arsenal. Benzema will likely be available.}

Heard a few interesting things that I have not heard before, might seem outrageous but it comes from a very credible person but obviously this is not set in stone at all.

Thomas Muller to Arsenal
Steve Bould to be the new WBA Manager.
Dennis Bergkamp to replace Bould as Arsene's new Assistant.
Sagna to Galatasaray not Man City.
