Ed002,
First of all it's great to see you back on the Arsenal page - stuff the idiots and their offensive nonsense.

I have questions about two players - the first being Aubameyang. We know Wenger likes him etc, but is there a chance of a concrete bid materialising this summer? I would imagine, as is so often the case, we'd be severely put off by the asking price and go for someone cheaper, but is it beyond the realm of possibility for us to snatch him up this summer?

Second, Koscielny. Hearing a few rumours about Bayern wanting him. Personally I can't see him going there to sit on the bench behind Hummels and Boateng, but I was wondering if you knew anything about this? Would be a disaster for our defence if we lost him.

As ever, thanks to all the Eds for the great work you're doing.

{Ed002's Note - There is seemingly no remaining interest in Aubameyang from Valencia, Juventus, Spurs, Roma or either of the Milanese clubs who have all been priced out of the market. Interest of Manchester United went with van Gaal. Whilst Dortmund are happy to see the back of him, it will only be at a high price - and I think that may well block a move and force a rethink over a new contract. The player has made it clear that he would like to move to Italy. However, that has not deterred Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City who have all had him watched this season. I cannot imagine a move to Barcelona being viable until one of their first choice forwards, such as Suarez, moves on. Arsenal or Chelsea might be well placed if they have the stomach for the expenditure and can convince the player the move is right for him - but it would be a very major change to the Arsenal (who the player previousy said he didn't want to play for) approach to buying players with such a significant asking price. Chelsea's interest is elsewhere at the moment but they may return with an offer. Real Madrid have already once raised the option of offering Morata as part of a deal. Manchester City are very keen and have held discussions with Dortmund who will keep him rather than let hm leave cheaply - they too might return with an offer. Plenty of baggage with him as well. Atletico have recently approached Dortmund to enquire about the availability of the player but they would look to include one of two players in a deal.

Bayern Munich has enquired after the availability of Laurent Koscielny with his agent.}}

Koscielny available!? ed why on earth would Arsenal have him being available. Seems insane to me.

D16

Think eds saying that Bayern are basically asking if kos is available, and by asking his agent he's asking "can he be swayed" I guess.

That's what I think anyway lol.
