{Ed002's Note - Martin Odegaard (RW/AM) Real Sociedad are keen on taking him on loan and have spoken with Real Madrid. His agent has said that he has had enquiries from two English sides. Why would Arsenal want another RW?}

Is this the kid we were trying to sign b4 he went to Madrid.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - A number of clubs were very keen - in England Liverpool and Arsenal were keen.}

Ed I haven’t seen him play but I thought he was originally a CAM? Similar to brandt in that they can both play wing as well? Correct me if I’m wrong though because I dunno.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is primarily a RW who can play as an AM.}

Play Saka left, Odegaard right and ESR in middle with PEA up front or Martinelli or Laca.

Players can change positions and it happens all the time. He doesn't have the pace to play on the wing especially in the Premier League. He has played a lot more of his football recently in the central role and at 22, he can definitely make that his preferred position.

Would I like him to do that at Arsenal though? I think it's a silly mistake if we sign he personally but I'm happy to eat my words. If we are going to push out ESR then Brandt is the one to do that IMO.

Brandt is awful and I think that would be a mistake I think the sign this guy on loan and go all out for auora in the summer.

Hello Ed,

I can't find the thread where someone asked about Dele Ali but I know you replied saying that Draxler or Joan Jordan might provide an option.

Previously you mentioned that Brandt was our preferred target. Is this still the case or has our attention moved more towards Draxler and Jordan?

Thank you 😊.

{Ed002's Note - Right now you can scratch Joan Jordan. Draxler and Brandt - interest remains.}

Brilliant, thanks Ed.

Hi Ed, Sly Sports are reporting we are interested in Odegaard? You know about any approach? Sky are saying we were already knocked back and have gone back in? Also would this mean we would have to send Dani Ceballos back to Madrid, as i though you could only have one player from a club on loan? Cheers.

Any truth behind the headlines regarding Emi Buendia? I haven't seen much of him, but he seems highly thought of. I doubt we have £40m available prior to getting rid of one or two for proper money, rather than wage displacement.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what these "headlines" are. If it is "Buendia Not Joining Arsenal in January", then they are true.}

Oh, okay then.

Hi Ed,

I have used the search function, and haven't found anything recent. Curious if you might offer insight.

With players leaving already, and knowing that Mustafi, Luiz and Ceballos are gone. I gather Chambers El Neny Torreira Guendozi, Kolasinac and Bellerin are probable departures as well.

Are you able to speak to other players that will see pastures new?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I provided a list a few weeks ag0.}

Sorry Ed. I’ll look again. My wife accuses me of “looking like a man”, I can’t find things in the fridge.

Please please please do not let the rumours about Christian Eriksen be true. It is being reported now that Inter are interested in swapping Eriksen for Lucas Torreira.

Ed, please confirm this is newspaper nonsense. Not the sort of lazy player we need at all.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what has been said but I am not aware of any interest in Eriksen from Arsenal.}

Thanks for replying, Ed.
