Would man united not have needed to declare their interest in replacing lvg back in feburary like they did with fergie leaving and now man city this year.

Well done ed02 you said months ago arsenal would look for an early agreement for xhaka.

Where did he say that. Thought he'd not said anything on Arsenal. If so hope he's doubters see this and realise how they've ruined things for a lot of us.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He said it a very long time ago.}

Xhaka has been courting us as much as we have been him.

He said it ages ago on the euro page.

ed 002 is the sage of the site all the power of Merlin and then some.

NOT REALLY!

Hi ed, are we interested in Alvaro Morata, seems as if there is to many if's and but's in that deal (Juve > Real > Arsenal) . Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - yes but it is a complex deal, Madrid are looking to get him back and sell him on for a profit.}

21 May 2016 17:13:12
Say Madrid can buy him back for 25m. Can't we just offer juve 30m instead of waiting for him to go back to Madrid? Sounds confusing all this.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 May 2016 19:10:21
Do juve have to sell him to Madrid if they offer a certain price? That was what I gathered. But what if morata wanted to remain at juve?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - if he chooses to remain at Juve, nothing happens. If he leaves then Madrid have a buyback clause.}

21 May 2016 19:19:29
D16, I think Madrid have 1st option on him to buy back, so we can not buy him directly from Juventus.

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely the answer is to pay Juventus enough to compensate Madrid much as Chelsea did with Barcelona to pay us for Fabregas, not identical situations but similar in that a former club has a financial involvement still.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Morata said he did not want to go back to Madrid but did want to leave Juve is that not a breach of workers rights?

Agree0 Disagree0

Not if he's under contract he freely signed Galway mate, players take the clubs money if they are injured or playing badly so it's only right they should benefit from players who deliver.

Hi ed's i'm sure you will have an influx of these but there's photos of Granit Xhaka in his arsenal kit, are these images correct? The one thing that's making me slightly believe is that it's the new kit so if you could shed light on it that would be great :)

Once again fantastic work on the site ed's 👍🏻.

{Ed001's Note - yep.}

Thanks ed, can't believe how early we've done our first deal :/ they will stretch this out till the last week of the transfer window lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pretty sure the Xhaka deal is done as I saw a photo of him in Arsenal kit at what looked like our training ground - you know the usual induction pictures, usually accompanied with a few kickups or something.

His GF apparently took the pics and they got out that way.
