Hi ed002. Thank you for your help to this January transfer window from all us arsenal fans. Can we get a summary of your honest opinion and thoughts of our January transfer business please :)
{Ed002's Note - January is always a difficult time and the club remain in this strange position. Good news will come if top-four could be achieved. Huge changes last summer leave the club yet to settle. The situation with Marseille is tough. The need for forward will need to be rectified in the summer - the youngsters want placating or they will be gone.}

Makes sense ed, not sure top 4 will be achievable, just don't see where we will get the goals, but hopefully we can integrate the youngsters now that the squad is thin and see if they are able to play those backup mins. Thrown at the deep end, bit unfair but I guess that's what they want?
{Ed002's Note -As an example, and like so many do nowadays, Khayon Edwards is demanding guarantees of game time and refusing to sign a contract. It needs resolving.}

It's a tricky one Ed, is this a problem lots of clubs experience do you know?
Also, following the discipline of Oezil, Guendouzi, Saliba and now Auba will this strict regime impact on us signing new players do you think?
{Ed002's Note - It is a significant problem for leading clubs. There is an impact on signing players for those clubs that are less attractive, for whatever reason.}

Thanks for the quick response Ed.

Thanks Ed025. Would you mind sharing your opinion if Arteta's tough stance with Guendouzi, Saliba, Oezil and now Auba will impact how players will view coming to Arsenal in the future.
{Ed025's Note - i wish other managers would show the bottle mikel has sally, some of these prima-donnas hold the club to ransom and you have had more than your fair share, the likes of ozil, sanchez and now auba have been absolute scum bags imo mate, i really hope you have a change of luck and sign some players with backbone and loyalty to the club....but keep your hands off DCL.. :)

Can't promise that Ed! haha
Think I must have got confused. I seem to have asked the same question to 2 eds ?.
01 Feb 2022 21:43:59
And good luck with your new manager Ed025, Frank seems a good fit for you.
{Ed025's Note - cheers sally..

ED025 - I cannot agree with this comment enough. and I wish more arsenal fans would see this is what Arteta has been trying to do at the club. don't get me wrong he has made mistakes, but he is a young manager still in the first 2 years of his first-team managerial career, he is going to and this is what the club signed up to when we gave him his first-ever job.
I do believe he has done more good for the team than bad in his short time so far.
{Ed025's Note - i think he is getting there hampshire after a bit of a sticky start, he inherited some poor players as well and getting them off the books to bring in some quality is never easy mate, i loved him at everton and wish him and the gunners all the very best..good luck..

Hey Ed. He may not fit into our system at all, so not saying he’d be a good signing… but are Arsenal looking at Dybala being that he’ll be on a free…?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
