Hey Ed,
Thanks for putting up with us over the transfer window.
I had a question about Morata: Were Arsenal ever interested? and do you see him staying put at Madrid and becoming their featured striker?
Thanks a mill,
{Ed002's Note - There was interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and from Dortmund - who Real Madrid hoped erre open to a deal involving Aubameyang.}

Thanks Ed,
Was really hoping we would be willing to pay over the odds for him, I think he'll be a special player.
Looks like that ship has sailed, huh?
{Ed002's Note - It was nothing to do with the price. Real Madrid are not discussing Morata leaving and will look to hang on to him - whilst other forwards at the club will be allowed to move on. I would not expect him to join Arsenal - and even a move to Chelsea would be very unlikely now.}

Ah, I see.
Do you think that their impending transfer ban will alter those plans?
Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the Intel.
I always thought Benzema would suit our style of play perfectly, but with all his off the field issues and little to no resale value, I doubt Wenger would move for him now.
{Ed002's Note - Real MAdrid cannot buy replacements. Morata was never going to join Arsenal.}
