Hi Ed002, I was going to ask you about incomings to the club or does it still depend on outgoings

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, Arsenal made the mistakes of last summer and need to raise funds through sales and maybe look to trading (as we discussed with Pipco).}

Hi Eds, first time poster, great site

Is Marc Roca a player Arsenal are looking at?

With Espanyol being relegated could be available for a lower fee

I would feel quite happy with a Midfield 3 or Xhaka/ Roca/ Ceballos

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Marc Roca (DM/CM) last summer approaches from three sides (Bayern Munich, West Ham and Inter) were flatly rejected by Espanyol without offers or discussion but a side could opt to offer his €40M termination clause (which needs to be paid in cash) and force discussions to be opened. Real Madrid still see him as a possible option - but some way down the list compared to other targets and they are in a really bad place financially so nothing will happen. The other sides who were previously interested do not have the stomach to offer up the cash and all would want to negotiate a deal. Arsenal have an advisor who sees Marc Roca as an option to Thomas Partey but another who sees the Danilo Pereira as a low cost option that would suit Arsenal better. MIlan has an interest which will increase if the price were to drop, and they will look to include a player in the deal. Espanyol want to keep him. If his price halves due to the pandemic, then the likes of Crystal Palace and Everton could look to him. Arsenal would need sales to bring him in.}
