Any update on mandzukic to arsenal? Says he wants to leave and there's reported interest from arsenal and Chelsea.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester City see Mandzukic as a replacement for Dzeko and Manchester United remain interested.}

Then where Dzeko is going?

{Ed002's Note - Dzeko may well be leaving but interest from Borussia Dortmund has waned. However, I expect a bid from Valencia and just perhaps Inter.}

Interesting. Thank you ed

Any idea where dzeko is going. I've always rated the guy.

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

I sent that before it was answered. Lol

Like some other seasoned and wisened participants on this board I am quite keen on Schneiderein to join the rotation with Arteta and Flaminin. However, as good as the pick up sounds on paper.age, skills, potential and cost . I don't recall any credible sources on this one, help me out here, has there been anything to give us hope that he is a serious target? Many thanks and ed 02 this means you!

{Ed002's Note - Both Arsenal and Napoli will look to Southampton's Schneiderlin this summer.}

My source is from within Southampton. Talks have definitely already been held for Schniederlin. I'm sorry that I can't name who my source is but I can definitely say that it is someone who should know.

Pretty much common knowledge that after Bender he is our number 1 target!

Been cut today to favourites by majority of betting sites to sign Steven Caulker?

Has there been any updates? Would be a good back up.

Hmm, signing an ex Tottenham player should only happen once in a lifetime, and I remember Sol Campbell so I dearly hope this is not true.

So you would rather us miss out on a quality signing in a position where we are short? Give it a rest Epping.

Manzukic has said he wants to leave bayern any chance of an afc bid ed02

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer "any chance" questions but Manchester City see Mandzukic as a replacement for Dzeko and Manchester United remain interested.}

Epping, what about Jimmy Robinson, Willie young or the great Pat Jennings?. We signed them from the mob down the road, or maybe a bit before your time.

As a keeper myself I am ok with the great Pat Jennings crossing the divide. but that's it. for every PJ there's a Terry Neil. perhaps all those who think it's ok would be happy for Cesc to sign for Spurs?

Oh and UG if that's your idea of a 'quality signing' then you need to get out more. perhaps we can go around the minor leagues to pick up some other 'quality' players.

How is the footballing ability of Steven Caulker related to my propensity to leave the house? This is highly irregular. On another note, we will not make any huge signing at CB, as Wenger will not disrupt the current partnership, so this exactly the type of level for backup that we will be looking at.

P.S, I see that you regard Lukaku as a one season wonder, so maybe you should make more regular trips to the dentist.

Yes UG, so far Lukakku has been a one season wonder. by simple definition and as with all players they need to do the same again the next season to lose that tag. Its no fault of his own of course, but this time last season Chelsea received more interest in Demba Ba than him. Surely if he was as good the previous season we and other top teams would have joined the queue for him(or Chelsea would have kept him)? Instead I seem to remember more interest was being generated by his fellow countryman, Benteke. Funnily enough I don't see as many people on this site suggesting we should sign Benteke at the moment? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he had a poor 2nd season compared to the year before (although on this occasion, and in his defense, injury was a major factor). Finally thanks for the concern but the dentist was happy last time I attended ;)

In 12/13 he scored more league goals and more assists in a weaker team than what he managed last season in a very good side. So I am lost as to how this constitutes to being a weaker season than last year.

How is lukaku a one season wonder last game of the 12/13 season he scored a hatrick against champions man u in a poorish side wba under wengers guidence lukaku would be a very good signing he's fast powerful and can score/create goals as he did at everton and ge knows the league doesn't need time to find his feet I've heard chelsea would sell for 18 million and in my opinion money well spent
