Ed002 I was listening to the Sharkopod again and right at the end you said Mertesacker would go if a replacement is found. You said you had mentioned the replacement but you only mentioned Niklas Sule when talking about centre backs.

Can I ask which centre backs Arsenal are looking at?

Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Florian Lejeune (Eibar centre back is a serious target for Arsenal but I am not sure if Wenger sees him as a starter or not)
Niklas Sule (not going to happen but he gets a mention as all chances to by him over the past two years were blown by Arsenal and there should be a tough lesson learned from this)
Daniele Rugani (first choice but Juventus do not want to sell)
Stefan de Vrij (I think very unlikely)
Jose Gimenez (very expensive for a player who struggles to make the Atletico starting line up – I think very unlikely)
Ben Gibson - possible.}

Cheers Ed. I would love to see Rugani. Is he realistically in our price range? Think he'll have many good years ahead of him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No because he is not for sale.}

A bit weird how we want another centre back.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal will only want a centre back if someone leaves.}

Ah right thank you for replying. Might be a stupid question but when clubs ask if a player is for sale and they say he's not do most clubs just leave it there or do they try and tempt them with some sort of offer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks again Ed002 :)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No problem. In answer to the previous question, clubs will persist if they think there is a chance of swaying the decision.}

Hello folks, i'm a bit new to all this but I have a question but forgive me if it has been asked. Stan Kroenke, rumours he's flying in for talks with arsene wenger. Any truth in this and if there is truth, what will they be discussing?
