Hello Eds,
Some London media reports are stating that the deal for Suarez is pretty much off, with Arsenal looking towards a loan move for PSG's Christopher Nkunku instead? Do you know if Arsenal have shown any interest in the player?
Many thanks.

{Ed002's Note - UE knows Nakuru well but any agreement will depend on a MF player arriving in Paris (in hand and probably not far away), what happens with Rabiot (a decision needs to be made now) and a guarantee of playing time in midfield - then it may be possible.}

All in all sounds promising. Some more highly rated youth in the squad would be nice to see. Thank you Ed.

I think we are genuinely trying to bring players in which whether we succeed or not is far better than the Benzema Higuian Mbappe nonsense of days gone by.
Hopefully things will work out but every target we've chased have been realistic and I'm really pleased about that.

David Orstein has confirmed talks, let's get it done! Although PSG want to extend his contract before allowing the loan so his summer price tag will be higher 🙄.

Would still prefer we found some cash to at least try and get Rabiot in the summer on a free.

Do you rate Nkunku? Looks like he was quite the rising prospect a few years ago but has struggled to get regular first team action.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am not the guy to rate players - he is miffed as he is played out of position. PSG are not concerned if he goes.}

Eds do you see anyone coming into the club this window.

Martinez has departed for Reading on loan, as rumours that we will sign Juventus keeper Emil Audero, with Ramsey going the other way.
Not sure if this is correct, but it does seem odd to allow Martinez to leave and only have two first team keepers.

With Martinez joining Reading on loan and Cech retiring are we still in the market for one or two keepers? Is Martinez looked at as Cech’s replacement and he’s gone on loan for game experience or is he on way out and we are in for two keepers? ( have tried to check before I get a classic Ed02 RTFP 😂 COYG.

{Ed002's Note - Martinez is not his replacement - Arsenal will replace Petr Cech.}

News that we are rumoured to be in for Juve's 3rd choice keeper Emil Audero, make sense, as we are down to two first team keepers. In respect of Martinez, he will turn 27 in September and hasn't given the impression that he will be a top class keeper.
