Ed, we seem to be link with the Brentford chap Said Benrahma. Is that true that he's wanted by us and we are happy to meet their 26m valuation.
If so -what are your thoughts? Looks quick, skilful, can tack a kicking and an eye fir goal.
Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of an approach at this time - and there is interest from elsewhere.}

I like the lad but think more important areas need improving first.

I think Benrahama would be a good signing. there is a reason he is called the Algerian Messi. very technical, has pace, dribbles like a freestyler, good eye for a pass and can bend em into the far post of the goal.
his potential is high but he is still very raw. with arteta and the rest of the coaching staff showing they are able to get the most of the players at their disposal, this just might be a shrewd but potentially very good signing IMO.

Hello Ed002,
SSN have just reported that Mhki had joined Roma on a permanent deal after Arsenal cancelled his contract. Does that mean we haven't even agreed a fee for him and just let him go? Surely we should of accepted something rather than nothing?
Many thanks.

{Ed002's Note - So Arsenal reject a €10M offer for Mkhitaryan because they wanted €30M and then end up letting him walk away after Roma stepped back and started talking to a club about another player. Arsenal could not deal with his wages back on the books so agreed with Mino that the way forward was to all agree to the cancellation of his contract.}

Jesus. 1m a month saved on his wages but 10m would of been nice on top.
Cheers Ed.

Thanks Ed. I thought a proposed offer of £15m a year was a bit ott haha.

Oh well at least it's brought a close to a bad romance for both parties.
If we'd accepted City's 60 million for Sanchez in the summer window f 2017 rather than United's Miki for Sanchez offer the following January 2018 none this situation wouldn't be happening.
Giving Mesut 350k a week and accepting Miki for Sanchez rather than 60 million, makes losing out Roma's 10 million look like good business given the clubs previous economic record.

Absurd. But better than being stuck with him.

Club is a mess. 10m was a decent bid in any world never mind C.V. world. Idiots.
Hang your heads in shame Arsenal powers that be - big on balls but small in brain.

Pretty sure the bid was before C.V. Still should've accepted it.

That may be one of the funniest, most Arsenally things I've read in ages Ed002. We are such a mess.

Good afternoon Eds, is there any truth in the (probably daft) rumour that Al Nasser have offered Ozil a way out of the club?

{Ed002's Note - Al Nassr and Al Sadd from Qatar have both shown an interest before and an offer was rejected from Al Sadd (who Cazorla has joined) in January. As for approaches to Arsenal, I don't know, but one or other could have spoken with his "representatives" to sound them out.}

Heard they have agreed to pay him 15mil a year.

{Ed002's Note - That would be less than Arsenal pay him.}

Mesut really likes London and the 17.5 million a year he earns with Arsenal so can't see him leaving before he has to.

Surely, if they offer a 3 year deal with that salary, it's better than staying at Arsenal for 1 more year at a slightly higher salary.
