Are we looking to bring in a 2nd choice keeper in Jan? Worried about relying on Runarsson, not his fault at all but he shouldn't be in the 1st team.

i heard this, yeah man, looks a bit shakey.

What would people think is a good window this January as in signings.
{Ed002's Note - Part of the problem is making space. There is no point in having a knee jerk reaction.}
30 Dec 2020 12:36:58
Do you think there will be any outgoings ed.
{Ed002's Note - By the start of next season I would expect:
Matt Lacey (G) will leave at the end of the season as a Free Agent
Sead Kolasinac (LB) wants to leave Arsenal and has been offered to Roma by his agent.
Shkodran Mustafi (CB) will leave at the end of the season as a Free Agent.
William Saliba (CB) No future and his time is being wasted at Arsenal - expect a loan in January.
Sokratis (CB) will leave at the end of the season as a Free Agent.
David Luiz (CB) will leave at the end of the season as a Free Agent.
Granit Xhaka (DM)
Dani Cevallos (CM) loan will expire at the end of the season.
Mesut Oezil (AM) will leave at the end of the season as a Free Agent - Fenerbahce are keen - Arsenal want a January loan to subsidise wages and he is being offered around.
Alexandre Lacazette (S)
Folarin Balogun (S) free agent in the summer, Arsenal want him to sign a new contract, "agent" offering him around.
Plus there are other unhappy players who might/will look to options.}

Definitely need to clear a lot out first, even getting rid of those who have expiring contracts in the summer early for free will do, free up the wages and look from there.

Thanks ed.

Don’t think you will see too many fans upset at that leaver list, in fact it’s great news that we can at last clear out so much dead wood at the end of the season. Perhaps Lacca and maybe Balogun the only names on the list that I would like to stay, but if we can get some cash for Lacca then maybe he should go. However not sure Eddie has shown he is capable of stepping up and filling his boots.

If we sell Laca then a new target man has to be brought in, Laca is great at what he does.

Great info Ed, most of these were on my clear out list a few seasons back but I guess we needed to ensure we got zero fees by letting them go on a free due to wages. this should clear out sone space especially CB. Shame about Matt Macey as current number 2 looks useless.
Thought Chambers and Elneny would be on the list along with Cedric.

Hello Ed,
Riqui Puig from Barcelona is a name being thrown around the media reports at the moment. Do Arsenal have an interest in him? Other than being classed as a 'wonderkid' I haven't heard or seen much about him.
Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Riqui Puig (CM) will go on loan in January - there have been discussions with Monaco. Looking to sell in the summer as Barcelona do not see him as good enough and have decided he doesn't take a lot of the goalscoring opportunities that come along. The club also consider him as omeone who will share information outside of the club that should stay inside the club. Milan would take him on loan but will be unlikely to commit to buy without trying him out firts. If Arsenal are interested then they are goin to end up with another player who is not what they need.}
30 Dec 2020 11:30:35
Fair point Ed, appreciate that!

Fabrizio Romano has stated he will not be loans out and contract will be extended to 2023 by triggering a clause in his contract. Guess we’ll see.
{Ed002's Note - They are looking to extend his contract regardless. The have been speaking with Monaco over a loan as I have explained.}
