Usmanov {Ed029's Note - Ed02 provided some updates about this but there was nothing that put a firm put a date on anything. }

06 Jun 2013 22:42:00

Mitrovic? {Ed027's Note - Not official, we are in talks

04 Jun 2013 23:58:29
Christen Erikson {Ed027's Note - I wouldn't know, he wants to leave, Spain is his preference, that is all

04 Jun 2013 23:52:41
Aleksandar Mitrovic {Ed027's Note - Yes, we aim to strengthen our youths, as there has been so many departures

04 Jun 2013 08:13:05
Ed, when will Wellington Silva get his work permit{Ed027's Note - Not sure mate, not sure we want him to at the moment he is a right piece of work

04 Jun 2013 08:06:27
Hi eds
How many players do you honestly see us buying? {Ed027's Note - 4 first team players, maybe 5 (not inc Sanogo

Ed, would that be these following positions and maybe players:

A Keeper (Cesar)
A Center Back (Williams)
A Holding Midfielder (Gonalons Or Wanyama)
A Striker (Jovetic)

And If 5. A CAM (Grenier)

Cheers {Ed027's Note - Maybe, Cesar is looking good, Williams is rumours but strong ones, we will sign a holding mid and those 2 are of interest, Jovetic will depend on Juve

04 Jun 2013 11:26:18
interested in Belhanda and Vydra {Ed027's Note - Very small

04 Jun 2013 11:01:09
Kos leaving to go to Bayern? {Ed027's Note - Small, Bayern would have to cough up 20-30m, Kos is happy

04 Jun 2013 09:31:54
Michu? {Ed027's Note - Paper talk

04 Jun 2013 08:54:51
Clement Grenier. {Ed029's - Lyon's Grenier is of interest to AC Milan, Arsenal, Juventus and Chelsea at the right price. The right price for Lyon is considerably higher when Chelsea and other EPL teams are interested and it will quite possibly price him out of the market. OL would like to keep him but are aware that Marseille would like to discuss the player as well. }

03 Jun 2013 15:42:59
Lamela {Ed027's Note - No chance

01 Jun 2013 11:23:09
sanchez Ed029's Note - I doubt it mate. }

01 Jun 2013 01:52:07
David Villa {Ed029's Note - This was on the Liverpool page - Arsenal are certainly interested in David Villa but I am not aware of any agreement at this time and Liverpool may well be interested in him as a replacement for someone leaving. Spurs is another possibility. Given Villa has never wanted to play outside of Spain, is 30+ and no doubt be expensive in terms of insurance and wages, I am not so sure it would be a great move by any EPL club. Both he and Sanchez will be sacrificed by Barcelona.

31 May 2013 17:04:16
cesc fabregas {Ed027's Note - I reckon he'll stay at Arsenal {Ed027's Note - Oops, I meant Barcelona


31 May 2013 13:52:07
Usmanov {Ed001's Note - Kroenke will take the money if enough is on the table, yes, I think Usmanov will push it over the line this time. }


30 May 2013 17:03:55
cesc fabregas {Ed029's Note - I am told by another Ed that he will not leave Barcelona. }

26 May 2013 07:16:35
Lewandowski. {Ed029's Note - Arsenal have not shown interest in him. }

25 May 2013 16:52:32
any interest in suarez {Ed029's Note - Certainly not from the Gunners mate. }

It's a good idea and I'm sure the ed's would appreciate this up to stop people asking them the same questions all the time making them repeat themselves.

JJ

I don't understand how you can click unbelievable when nearly everyone on this site relies on information from the ed's. It's not a matter or believe a rumour or not it should be thank you for putting all our questions on one page so we can easily view what the ed's have responded to our questions with. {Ed027's Note - Good summary there, stops people from asking the same things

Genius!

Thank you for the post. So helpful!

Now what are we going to talk about LOL.

Brilliant idea, keep up the good work.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
a really good idea

Thats how it should be eds well done great job I am forever scrolling down looking for replies from the eds this is the nutz

Missed one, Rooney?

Ed, actually a suggestion can you pin one post like this at the top of the page, that is if it is possible. Would be helpful

{Ed033's Note - Believe it or not, but this is why the Arsenal Questions page was created but it's not being used correctly - http://arsenalrumours.co.uk/arsenal-editors.php

arsenal have just triggered the clause for fellaini and this will be announced on the 2nd of july.

arsenal were using jotivitc and villa as bait for other teams to get attracted to them as he is ready for a swoop for benteke and also including park.



mignolet is on his way to arsenal by not signing a new deal he will be announced on the 15 of july.



grenier who also wanted to come arsenal will not be coming as wenger has had second thoughts on him.

wanyama a superb player but wenger is thinking of signing him next summer, same as paul pogba.


the higiuan situation is a total mess so arsenal have pulled out of the race for the Argentinian.


Wenger has been offered a new contract this is because wenger is building such a team that he is ready to stay for longer as he is seeking success.

our rb situation is also a crises but wenger is letting jenkinson step up in the bpl as its his time to shine now.


as we have let arshavin, denilson and squid leave we have 10million in our pockets this could possibly go towards rooney even as he is nit wanted by some he is a massive possibility.

Just out of curiosity, where would Fellaini play? DM?

Ross

Would be pretty disappointed if we bought Mignolet. Szczesny is better, IMO, and it's not going to work having 2 starting-level keepers. You need a no. 1.

Would be disappointed if we bought Benteke, he and Giroud are too similar.

Strong post Wellingtoj. You have written that like someone who might actually know something I will be monitoring this one. But here's the thing Fellaini is a decent player but is he what we were hoping for? for me not really. Mignolet good keeper but again if the stories are to be believed and we are signing up Cesar who is going to be the number 1? Why doesn't Arsenal for once just get their finger out and say " Right these are the players we want heres the cheque book. " Instead of all this fluffing about every season and ending up with nothing again. I for one am sick of it.

What a load of rubbish about Marouane Fellaini. You have read a rumour saying he can join a Champions League club for 22m which is his buy out clause. The rumour says he is fav to sign for us. This does not mean he will sign by the 2nd July. He is clear fav at 1/1 but that doesn't mean anything either. It would be a good signing however. I do look at the odds and start to believe when the odds come crashing down but all to often it is wrong to go by this.

Benteke is being valued at 40m but Aston Villa as they try to keep their star man. As for Higuain my sources tell lme differently that he will sign for Arsenal by the end of June. Cesar has already agreed terms with Arsenal along with Ashley Williams. Wenger is not trying to dislodge Szcehsny but give him support and an experienced role model to look up to. Plus Wenger is not willing to pay 15m for Mignolet. Wanyama is a back up in case we don't get Fellani but Fellani is our main target as a box-t0-box midfielder.

Much rather spend this £22m on a striker, as that is what we need, not an inconsistent CAM/CM, a DM and an ST is what we need, I don't believe we need a new keeper, I think szcezny is good enough, just lacks confidence

Ross Fellani has come out in public and said he prefers the DM role.

It's poor business to state your targets out in public for others to come and steal them with higher bids and better wages. Arsenal offer a set price Man City double it, guess where the player goes. Plus if Arsenal say they want a player the price goes up as other clubs get interested and start looking at the player as well. Fellani is a class act and would be the perfect DM for us with premier league experience and he prefers the DM position as he has already come out and said in public. Someone who can win the ball back with physical presence and play it out from the back.

You had me till wanyama and pogba next summer where will they bboth play plus fellaini
Gimme6

I agree with some of your points but I don't see Mignolet coming when he is been valued at a reported 15m. Cesar to my knowledge is in negotiations with Arsenal as for Fellani a respected newspaper ran the story first the deal could happen, bettings odds have quickly been slashed by too. We'll see.

Josh09

Higuain I'm told favours Arsenal as he feels he would be the star man there and appreciated more. Italy have a lot of big name players already and Arsenal is set to be his new challenge.

JJ

Fellaini is great. I hope we get him!

Arsenal, Everton and Fellaini have all denied that this true.

Not that this means anything.

In the case of Arsenal and transfers when Arsenal deny a player it is usually because they are interested in him and fear other clubs coming in to steal the deal, they only speak about targets their more certain to get. I wouldn't expect Everton to come out and say they want to sell their best players but in Fellani's case there is a clause in his contract and he is expected to leave. Just be patient MHC.

He mentioned Wenger was considering Wanyama and Pogba for next season, Arsenal looked at Nasri and Ben Arfa at the same time in case one deal doesn't go through they have a second target already. It's common for for a club to identify two targets and start preliminary talks.

JJ

Thanks. I'd honestly prefer another DM. Someone like Capoue or Alaba. Both are quicker, nimbler, stronger and cheaper (wasn't that a Daft Punk song?) Just my humblest of opinions.

Ross

Why would we be looking at Pogba and Wanyama for next summer? We can't even tie deals up at the start of the current summer so I find it hard to believe we are looking a year in advance!
Wanyama rumours have been around for a long time now just as the M'villa ones were and I fully expect them to end the same way!

@ Ross

Watch Capoue in 10 matches he is and has the same build as Fellani, he isn't as good on the ball as Fellani neither and isn't neat. Fellani not being as strong as Alaba! The Bayern Munich left back, yes he was a DM before but Bayern have since signed Javi Martinez and prefer play him there, it's for a reason.

Alaba suits LB better than DM he is small and good on the ball but in the Premier League a player like Fellani would boss him around in the midfield. Fellani is more skillful, more composed, stronger, and more experienced than Alaba and Capoue. He can win the ball and take it forwards to start an attack Man United hate playing against him he always causes them problems and Chelsea.
