Ed002 are the club really prepared to pay Mesut off/ subsidise his wages do you know? Thanks as always for any insight 😊.

{Ed002's Note - Mesut Özil (AM) if a deal can be found to sell him (which will be tough) then the option is to try and negotiate a fee for him to leave - else if he stays then there will be a significant impact on transfer plans and he will leave for zip in 2021.}

I’m not sure how it’s going to work but do you think a deal could be agreed Ed for the option of negotiating for him to leave?

Also, rather than everyone continuing asking, would it be best if you maybe set a day for when you can provide us with a list of incomings? Means you won’t have to keep answering the same question mate.

Is a realistically possible to get a fee for Mesut Ed002? I'd have thought letting him leave for free with Arsenal contributing towards his wages at his next club would be the only way of resolving the situation given its Arsenal who need a solution and not Mesut who seems happy enough as things stand.

Does it really make sense to pay off Mesut? Surely it would be better to have him here at least as backup, unless the situation is unsettling the rest of the team I'd course. Do you know if that is the case Eds?

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}

I see no sense in simply paying Mesut next seasons wages up front to leave early Sally, where's the gain?
I still think we should have explored the possibility of loaning Mesut to place as part of Zaha deal last summer. When Ed001 said the other day about how Courtinho would suit Palaces style of play it made me more convinced than ever that Mesut loan as part of a Zaha deal would have worked out better for everyone last season.

Interesting thoughts there gunner.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed047's Note - I know I might be alone in this but really really don’t want either Zaha or Coutinho.

Neither anywhere good enough if we want to challenge seriously for anything, in my opinion.

A friend of mine who has connections close to the club has told me that, like a lot of people have mentioned, Edu and Kia thingy ma bob are the ones pushing the club towards signing Willian and Gabriel Maghaeles as well as strongly considering Coutinho. Interestingly the way Edu has pitched this to the club is that he believes that Martinelli is Aubameyang's long-term successor and that he wants to surround him with Brazilians to make him feel as settled as possible for the long term. And the board have lapped it up.

Must say I don't mind though. The club are being taken for a bit of a ride but it's not like these are bad players and I always felt nervous when we were playing Chelsea and Willian came on. He's a proper player.

It's difficult to make sense of anything the club is doing right now but to plan every signing around Martinelli and making him feel comfortable for the future? How likely is that to be true?
At the moment it's difficult to dismiss anything as being beyond the relms of possibility of those running Arsenal but I think this story starts and ends in your friends imagination Anamo.

Lol perhaps.
I paraphrased what he said a bit but that was the general gist of it. Build the team around martinelli, particularly with his compatriots. Basically make it feel like a home from home.

Only time will tell if your mate is right Amano mate but between now and then would you please ask him if he is interested in buying a genuine Alien space ship with only 72,000,000,000,000,000 miles on the clock in absolutely mint condition and one careful lady owner who bought the ship brand new in the 31st century :-) .
