Hi again eds a lot of talks in the papers and other sites that we are very interested in morata does this rumour have any legs or is it as i suspect just because of the ban placced on real madrid.

did Juve buy him or was he on loan there? I thought they bought him. I would love for us to buy him. perfect age for us to bed him in as our new target man as Olly gets older.

I read he's on loan for 2 years but I'm not entirely sure.

They bought him for €20m so I'm not sure they'd be willing to sell yet although they'd probably get a hefty profit on their investment. I'm going to assume Madrid have a buy back clause like they do with almost anyone they sell purely cause they don't get game time.

Pretty sure, but can't substantiate it with anything, he signed a new deal at juve that means;
a) madrid buying him back cheap isn't happening.
b) he's in juves future plans and seems happy, so won't leave without somebody else offering big money, to him and the club, so they could replace him sufficiently.

So incredibly unlikely I. m. o.

I believe Morata is unhappy he's not been first choice recently as he's being kept out of the team by Dybala. Any new contract he's since won't have affected any buy-back clause agreed with Madrid.

Hi everybody, just thought I'd drop a January update to maybe help answer some questions. It is my understanding from different sources all about the place, that for now all January business is done. At least in regards to the signings of any first team players. So don't expect any more signings unless circumstances in the next couple of fixtures change the Wenger's mind. But given how going the start of February could see the return of Wilshere and co. it is unlikely that this will change.

Cavani now and in the summer will remain a big 'no' for the club. The truth is that after going to PSG, the player would have to take a pay cut that he will be unwilling to in order to move to any club outside of the big spenders.

Aubameyang is also no for the time being, despite a couple offers having been made the player will remain in Dortmund for the season and a move may be possible in the summer.

Heard a lot of people elsewhere talking about Götze, and the possibility of signing him in the coming weeks or in the summer. It is my understanding that despite interest, any move will not be decided until Ancelotti takes over for next season. Should he decided to get rid of Götze, I can see him remaining in Germany or going elsewhere, the only British club looking at signing him being Liverpool. Although in this instance the Klopp connection may be over-stated.

A little while back Ed 02 wrote up a big update, addressing a lot of the possible targets and subjects of interest for the club, and I suggest to all interested in targets for the summer to go and read that, as there are certainly a few names that we will be looking into.

So there we are, best to sit back and enjoy the rest of the January fixtures.
