Hi Ed,
There is a lot of confusion as to what is going on with Draxler at the moment - could you tell us what is actually happening: have we made a bid? Are we even interested? etc.

Thanks and as always, keep up the good work.

{Ed002's Note - There have been offers and enquiries for Draxler. Both Milan clubs, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired at one level or another about Draxler - each has met a "not for sale" barrier. I don't really expect a move this January but suspect a move to Arsenal in the summer.}

Ed002 in what circumstance would Draxler move in January, if you have the necessary information! Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I have said all of the way through that I don't expect a move in January. I think he will be one for the summer.}

Hey eds, just would like some info on some fresh new rumours doing the rounds;
Cuadrado: is there an interest in him from us? And have talks really been held?
Jovetic: hearing arsenal looking to take him on loan till summer before buying. Surely can't be true?
Griezman: did we make a bid at all for him? If not are we likely to, and if we did can you see an increased offer?
Lastly: any young CBs actually being looked at for January? Hearing three names; zouma, lapourte, lascalles(spellings).
Would be great if you provide some feedback on these, as always greatly appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - A bid for Griezmann was turned down. Laporte, Jovetic and Cuadrado - no. Zouma will move to London in the summer - but not to Arsenal. Lascelles there is interest in.}

Where would Zouma move then in the summer ED002, Chelsea?
Thanks

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I expect so.}

Arsenal are expected to confirm the signings of the Nigerian teenagers Musa Yahaya and Chidera Ezeh from Benfica. don't think this will be announced formally, but will go straight into the youth teams. Saw them play at the u-17 world cup, and they are decent players, with great amount of pace.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, they are battling it out with Benfica for the signing of the teenagers

Wenger came out and denied any plans to sign tello and sanchez but no question was asked about pedro. He is the kinda player we are missing can play up front is quick scored 48 goal in 151 games for barca where he is playing wide and also doesn't play every week worth a punt?

Hey Ed, anything on Perdo or tello or roberto? as wenger was spotted in spain

{Ed001's Note - as far as I can find out, neither Pedro nor Tello are likely to move in January, being at Barca guarantees (almost) a place in Spain's squad. Moving to England might ruin their chance of going to Brazil. So any move now would need a hell of a lot of persuasion to pull off, though I wouldn't rule out a loan move for Pedro. Summer is a whole different ball game though.
Roberto is being touted as having a big future, I doubt he will leave with Xavi considering a move to the MLS at the end of the season.}

Thanks for the reply mate!

{Ed007's Note - I'll pass that on.}
