Hi ed002, is they're any possibility you can let me know the latest on Mbappe at Monaco, and if they're is any interest from Arsenal in a Summer move for him, Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal are still interested but I certainly would not hold my breath.

Last summer Real Madrid spoke with Monaco regarding Kylian Mbappé about an agreement to possibly recruit him in once their ban is over. A number of clubs have been watching him for some time including Barcelona, Porto, Liverpool, Spurs, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen, Rennes, Marseille and PSG, and this summer might be the time for a move but the sort of money they will be looking for if they agree to sell will be outrageous. Manchester City were rebuffed in August with a significant offer. The sort of figures that one side were quoted would remove most clubs who have looked at him from bidding - including the likes of Barcelona, Spurs, Marseille, Porto, Liverpool, Renne, Bayer Leverkusen and, I suspect, Arsenal. Monaco don't want to sell and if someone were to make some deal this summer I would expect it to be one of Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City or Manchester United.}

Okay cheers ED002, I know the club is in a bit of turmoil at the moment with a certain someone leaving everybody in the dark about his future, but can you give us a indication on the targets we are looking at as this ones sounds unrealistic if you' ask me, many thanks in advance👍🏻.

{Ed002's Note - When I get time I will do the Sharkopod - perhaps Monday if the vegetable behave until then.}

I read online this morning that monoco rebuffed an offer around 95m in the summer. I thought that was ridiculous and untrue but seeing what you said I just wanted to ask if that number being quoted was anywhere near man
City's offer. He looks a good prospect but that seems far too much to me.

I'll be amazed if anyone pays a world record fee can't see it. 50-60mil I think he'll fetch.

I can see it be similar to Martial with most of it being future add ons depending on how he does. Really is madness after a good half a season at 18 that money is being quoted.

Imo he's better than martial.

We have two maybe three world class players. Cech, the jury is out for me whether he still is, ozil and sanchez. There is a good chance we are going to lose the last two.

World class players don't come cheap or easy. We may not be in the champs league and players are choosy. Our manager is not pulling up trees in the big comps and we have a squad full of players who are not hacking it at the top table time after time.

We spent big last summer on players who are not cutting it. The pessimism around the club is growing and we are in a pickle, to say the least. Our players are hiding behind the manager and the manager is backing the players. We have started losing to the smaller clubs now as well.

I'm really worried we have let this go on too long and we will be pay for it. I can usually see something good, but the player that could have won us the league because he is good enough will fly. There is nothing at the moment I can see that's bright for next season. I can't even predict ground hog day.

Let's get rid of the fact players and get young hungry and confident players out there - with a young hungry manager - 1 step back and 5 steps forward.

Steve it is a big worry. I have a feeling wenger is happy for them to go and start again. He can then tell us he is rebuilding once more for the top 6 trophy.

Regardless of money attracting top players to Arsenal right now is going to be difficult with or without champions league football next season as our 4th place and champions league last 16 chasing reputation isn't exactly attractive proposition for players with good options.

But I'm no longer sure it matters who we sign as we haven't achieved any more with Sanchez Ozil and Cech than we did without them.
I know it should but I'm not sure Sanchez and Ozil leaving will change things any more than thier arrival did.
