{Ed025's Note - or something like that..

So is that confirmation that they have bid for him.

Ed arsene refused to rule out Falcao, is there any update on him? A better question to ask you is if there were any updates from all the agent meeting thing in Monaco yesterday?

{Ed002's Note - Monaco are looking to sell Falcao, Real Madrid are looking to buy Falcao, and Falcao want to move to Real Madrid. Meetings were held on Wednesday between Monaco, Real Madrid and the players representatives. Monaco set a price. Nothing has changed as far as I know since then. Did Arsene Wenger rule out Carlton Cole?}

Does the interest in Bony remain, or has that ship sailed?

Class player and would definitely be a step forward.

{Ed002's Note - I think it may be too late for Bony - Swansea have not been looking to replace him so would want to hang on or would want serious money. Huntelaar remains keen on England. Remy wants a CL team and is available for £8.5M to Arsenal. QPR are expecting him to leave and are working on a replacement. Destro's destination looks to be elsewhere. There is a meeting this evening I understand that will likely see a deal done for Cerci - also elsewhere. My advice is suck it up and move for Remy before someone else does.}

So ed we have a meeting with cerci, is he good cause I've never heard of him?

{Ed002's Note - No - read the post again.}

Sorry ed don't want to misunderstand that. Do you mean we are in a meeting for a deal with cerci? Sorry if a stupid question always appreciate your posts by the way!

{Ed002's Note - Not with Arsenal - what does the word "elsewhere" imply.}

I read that wrong I got confused by the Line before also elsewhere and obviously took that wrong. Would like to ever so Apologise for not being as great at English literacy than you ed002.

Me too ed loool

Thanks for the advice to pick up Remy ed, I'll get right on it.

Wish we were aiming a bit higher though, he's hardly an upgrade over Poldi. Hell, would rather keep Podolski for sure actually.

Ed is there still interest in Podolski? Could we sell him to clear up funds to move for Remy?

{Ed002's Note - It would be unrelated. Don't complicate matters.}

Ed02 does the interest of caravel ho remains or he is moving to manutd? Thanx I will really appreciate your reply

{Ed002's Note - There is still interest.}

G 'day Eds and fellow Gooners. A question if I may eds. With The Falcao to Madrid deal seemingly on, do you see dominoes falling whereby we get Benzema or he goes to PSG and we get Cavani? Maybe I should just ask if Falcao goes to Madrid, will PSG make an approach for Benzema?

{Ed002's Note - I have already provided the other Eds with views on transfers yet to happen and I am not going to be doing it here. QPR are looking to replace Loic Remy who the are pretty sure a late bid will be made for. He might well provide the solution Arsenal need. Someone suggested Huntelaar - again it might be a good option. Benzema - if he becomes available maybe - but there will be no time to negotiate. Arsenal now have representatives in Monaco (they did not yesterday) so maybe they can find some folks willing to talk to them.}

Maybe the reps are in Monaco for champions league draw

interesting chat with an old collegue from Frankfurt. Word over there is they all expect Reus to come to Arsenal with Podolski leaving to make way.

Post Giroud injury, makes even more sense with Reus able to cover up froint as well as across the other 3 attacking positions.

Obviously 2nd/3rd hand info, but makes perfect sense.

Would love this to be true, he's a brilliant player, him, Sanchez & theo up top, ozil/cazorla behind, that'd be class!

I already have an irrational belief that we are signing Reus. Stop teasing me

Hi Eds

Arsenal being linked with Virgil Van Diijk of Celtic any truth in this Celtic haven't qualified for the champions league and player himself wants to play at highest level. He would be a great signing seen him play a few times an absolute beast but can play a bit and a good passer so would suit arsenal down to the ground.

{Ed007's Note - As far as I know the story is nonsense.}
