Hi Ed, I saw your most recent post about Thomas Partey. I wanted to see if there's an update, so many newspaper outlets in Spain are saying arsenal have made an offer.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any change with Thomas Partey in respect of Arsenal.}

Thanks Ed, he’ll probably sign a new deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Will he, OK.}

One thing is for sure, we don’t have the money to sign him!

How about the availability of Lacazette? You said he’s settled now on an earlier post but do arsenal want him off the books?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Alexandre Lacazette (S) wanted a new start elsewhere but seemed to have settled before the season was halted. I have no idea what Arsenal want, and neither do many of the players seemingly. It would not be a surprise if he were to leave if a suitable buyer could be found - but interest in him has been slim.}

Ed i know you said we are full on centre backs but do we have an interest in Axel Disasi?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The summer after Disasi turned 18 Arsenal were advised to buy him by a scout they have since sacked but he left Paris for Reims. He would certainly bbe cheap but Arsenal have as we know been looking around the bottom of the market even though they are overrun with CBs and have Holding back fit now and Saliba arriving. Everyday there seems to be another story about Arsenal and second rate CBs (the likes of Walce and Matviyenko). It seems like buying for the sake of it, but there has been previous interest in him so it is possible. Not Home Grown which is perhaps where the club should be looking.}

Ed’s reply brilliant.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Apr 2020 11:14:58
Same, thanks Ed, great reply!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Don't forget how close Arsenal are to the non HG limit of 17 players. Right now there are 16 NHG of 17 over 21 allowed:

Alexandre Lacazette
Bernd Leno
Cedric Soares (Loan)
Dani Ceballos (Loan)
David Luiz
Granit Xhaka
Kieran Tierney
Lucas Torreira
Matteo Guendouzi
Mesut Oezil
Nicolas Pepe
Pablo Marí (Loan)
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Sead Kolasinac
Shkodran Mustafi
Sokratis}

This might indicate that we will push to offload a few players isn’t it Ed? Do you have a list of HG players arsenal are looking at?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I think you are expecting far more changes than there will actually be. Right now Arsenal have money issues as I have explained. These came from stupidity and paying well over the odds for a player. They have the additional problem of other non-HG players returning from loan - Konstantinos Mavropanos (yest another CB), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (who Arsenal need to reduce the asking price for), Mohamed Elneny (if the option is not taken up). Add to that I expect another non-HG player in Layvin Kurzawa to arrive as a free agent, it is clear the club is in a mess with players, with finances and with the management structure. The club will have no European football next season and are still stuck in mid table. They should be looking at shoring things up and certainly not just buying for the sake of it.}

Thanks Ed, you know how to brighten up my day. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The club needs to sort itself out.}

16 Apr 2020 13:49:37
It’s frustrating Ed because there’s obviously something wrong so why aren’t they doing anything about it, unless it’s hard to sort out or something, it’s just annoying mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I appreciate it is difficult for Arsenal supporters but it is a giant self-inflicted wound.}

Transfers window is miles away, so anything can change, but seems going by media that arsenal are trying to get a player in any aubamayang deal. Latest linked is Griezmann if he were to go Barca. Arsenal would need to add money to that deal obv but is Griezman a player of interest to Arsenal?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Someone is reasing you about Griezmann moving to Arsenal I am afraid. Barcelona are willing to use Griezmann in an exchange and Inter Milan were approached about using him as part of the deal for Martinez but Inter cannot afford his wages. PSG is a different matter and they can afford his wages, but it is unclear if the desire is there to take him and it is still unclear what will happen regarding the coach. Arsenal is not part of any of this right now.}
