Ed's, can you give us any transfer light at the end of this dismal month?
Even if it's Yan 'Villa and Solomon Kalou!
The management have so far gone a great job shipping players out, now just got to work on getting the right ones in.
Do any of the Ed's know of we were actually in for Vlachovic? If so can you answer the following?
1/ Why did we not do our due diligence and establish that the player had less than zero interest in playing for us before trying?
2/ Where the heck is/ was the money coming from to buy him?
Or was it all just tabloid nonsense?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation with Vlahovic.}

Apologies, yes you’ve explained the Vlahovic saga in depth. I’m just wondering why we even bothered going for him and where the cash came from. I can only think they found Arsene’s old sofa and had a good dig around.

Hey Ed, you said Arsenal could look for a January solution for Isak. Any chance sociedad would be open to a loan + option/ obligation move or will they not compromise on the price and you only get him if you pay his full release clause.
since auba is very likely to leave, arsenal have once again put themselves in a dilemma and they are almost forced to make a deal for a striker. very difficult to make a rational deal in winter.
{Ed002's Note - RS are not looking to sell Isak for anything less than his €70M buy out clause - and that needs to be made in a single payment - and so a loan would not be an option. Borussia Dortmundwould get a discount on that price. There is plenty of interest in him and Real Sociedad do have financial issues so something could happen.}
