Hi Ed,
Can you comment on Arsenal's reported interest in Melo or Rafihna?
Thanks,
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what reports you have found but I would doubt Arsenal are in a postion to buy Arthur - but Rafinha might be available for a small fee, or even nothing. He is available and Barcelona have someone offering him around but nobody will be looking to pay any money for him - the goals of old have dried up this season and he missed the best part of the previous three seasons with injury.}

We should be in line with a £50m offer then.
Thanks Ed.

We certainly do not need another injury prone player with a top end salary at the club. It's easier said than done but I would like to see Mkhi used in a deal for Kluivert so him and Saka can play on the left. If Auba or Laca go then Martinelli is 2nd fiddle to them through the middle and he can also play of the right as a backup to Pepe. We also have Nketiah as a number 9 as well. Use any funds we accrue from player sales to invest in a central midfielder and with the likes of Auba, Laca, Torreira, maybe Xhaka and even a couple of CBs lined up or looking for potential exits, that may not be too difficult to achieve. Wishful thinking but a quality CM is definitely needed.
