Eds rarely as the "are we linked with" question, but.

do you know what happpened our interest in Nabil Fekir? I know he missed most of last season with injury, but perhaps he is a more realistic otion for us.

Same question with Boufel - who quite a few clubs wqere looking at recently.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, but it has probably just been shelved until it is seen how he gets on next season. As for Boufal, he has the likes of Southampton after him, I believe they are more likely to sign him.}

Thanks for the info. Boufal would be a shame - he is a classy player, reminds me of a young Hazard when he was at Lille.

Ed are we going to sign a striker or not? What about tevez?

{Ed001's Note - you already have, the Japanese lad, Wenger wants one more but I can't see it happening. Certainly not Tevez, in my opinion, he expects too much in wages.}

15 Jul 2016 15:56:11
The Japanese lad isn't what we needed. I believe it's going to be another poor summer.

Any update on mahrez? Apparently he's handed in a transfer request.

{Ed041's Note - Ed02 mentioned earlier that he wasn't going anywhere

15 Jul 2016 21:25:32
Oh i never saw that, thanks. Is there a certain page where i can see if eds have any updates or do i always have to ask questions on the page?

{Ed001's Note - you could try a search on relevant pages for Ed002 or the name of the player concerned, ie Leicester site in this case. The lad did say a number of times he was intending to stay for next season very publicly. Unfortunately the media don't want to run those kind of stories, as they don't sell as many papers as linking him with Arsenal/Man Utd etc. Unless he gets his head turned, though from what I have been told about the lad that is not likely at all, he will be there when the window closes to have a go at the Champions League. Kante, on the other hand, had been quite clear that he would consider offers. Obviously you never know for certain, but it does seem most likely that Mahrez will stay with Leicester, at least until January.}

We keep missing out on players, kante too, everything seems to have died down with arsenal ed. Are there no developments at all or a list of players?

{Ed041's Note - I often wonder if Arsenal put in enough work during the season to sound out targets. It can be very scatter gun at times. Xhaka is a prime example of that.

Is carlos bacca of any interest?

{Ed041's Note - I have no idea.

16 Jul 2016 00:44:55
Nevermind ed i saw on thw West ham page that he's going madrid. But another ed mentioned arsenals interest is somewhere else, what player was it?

{Ed001's Note - for one, there is still the hope of Morata moving, as that is still the plan for him. I will have to check with Ed002 to see who he was referring to.}

Oh okay, when u find out can u let me know please? Sorry for being a pain.

Reports that any deal for Higuain would include Giroud going the other way, plus a large fee. This would leave us still needing another forward in the absence of Welbeck. Would the fee and the loss of Giroud, be worthwhile?

i think these sports reporters need to get off the crack. this is not top trumps and is not played by 8 year old kids.

i just wish i could read one sensible report, rather than garbage.

i don't even bother reading the papers anymore in regards to football as its all B. S

now that is what you call nicking a living. go figure.

13 Jul 2016 15:08:42
Ed sky sports are reporting about us and higuain that there has been contact. Are there any developments.

{Ed001's Note - no, it is nonsense. No doubt they are offering odds on Slybet.}

13 Jul 2016 17:43:07
Absolute tosh, why would Wenger get rid of Giroud.

13 Jul 2016 19:14:13
Is it true that Higuain agreed personal terms in 2013? Only for us to not make an offer as we were prioritising Suarez and then Napoli pounced?

Saw a tweet from David Ornstein back in 2013.

12 Jul 2016 22:55:26
Hi Eds, do you have a list current players we are interested in and pursuing to possibly sign this summer?

{Ed001's Note - no sorry. When I have info I give it, I don't keep lists.}
