Hi Eds,

Anything on Juan Fernando Quintero, I know the prices quoted earlier in the summer were way too low and Wenger denied interest (but when does that mean anything during the transfer window).

From what I have seen of him he looks fantastic, can play CM CAM LW CF, is quick, has silky skills, great vision for a pass, likes to score wonder goals and can take a free kick like Ronaldo. As he is 5' 6" he also fits the Arsenal height demographic.

He appears to be the number 10 we need to make the most of Olly's hold up play or as LW with Alexis as RW, Theo as CF and Ozil in the hole, now that's an attack with pace to burn.

{Ed002's Note - Nothing involving Arsenal right now.}

He reminds me of Cazorla. Maybe a future replacement?

Hi Ed, what's the situation of Stephan El Shaarawy? I think he'd suit our style. He'd bring some spark to our left wing if he can stay injury-free this season.

{Ed002's Note - Very unlikely he will move this summer, although Arsenal have previously shown interest.}

Okay thanks Ed, I'm really struggling to see who we could sign but luckily we'll find out soon.

Hi folks, I've spent ages reading page upon page on the new Cavani situation. Unfortunately i'm yet to find a source that's mustard (no pun).

Can anyone provide a good source that's backs up our bid, there is also a lot of conflict between whether its a propper contract or whether its a loan deal?

Thanx

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

I think he will be there for another year. don't see how they can sell him when ibra is injured for 2 months.

I don't see a forward joining our ranks anytime soon.

Agree0 Disagree0

What about falcao

{Ed002's Note - What about him?}

Hi Eds, I've tried the search function and couldn't really find anything. I was wondering if you expected Podolski to be sold? Thanks! Much appreciated

{Ed002's Note - There is a good chance and Gala are interested.}

Thank you Ed!

Agree0 Disagree0

It's unbelievable he will let Podolski go and rely on Giroud. I thought Wenger had changed but maybe not. If he does not buy a top striker and sticks with Giroud we will have no chance of winning the league.

Agree1 Disagree3

Ed002 Besides Podolski, who else might also leave this summer? Thanxxx

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Many have already gone - perhaps a loan for Gnabry and Campbell. There might still be interest in Monreal.}

Galatasaray chief has denied pursuing Podolski as it would be "a luxury signing" that they don't need.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't get why people want pod to play cf. the games he had played there he was quite shocking. Not saying sell him. But we can live without him

It's just hilarious when people criticize Wenger for not giving Pod more game time. I think it's perfectly obvious to the majority why he isn't a regular starter. And on the occasions when he's played CF he has been dreadful. Zero off the ball movement and can't hold the ball up, yeah that's a great combination for a CF.

Take any money and run - use his wages for someone interested in the team. Great on Facebook/Twitter etc, not so good on the pitch.

Agree1 Disagree0

Why don't people like podolski I think he is a good player out on the left and he tracks back and helps put aswell he scored about15 or more goals last uear
