Hello eds, any truth in the reports which link us with kante, I know Wenger is an admirer of him and has expressed it in the past, do you think he will be a good fit for arsenal?

{Ed001's Note - Wenger would love to sign him, having admitted it was a mistake not to bring him in last summer. Whether he will now consider Arsenal or not, I have no idea, but Arsenal know how much he would cost. The question is whether they still need him now. He would certainly improve the team, he is a fantastic player. Just not sure it would be the best use of resources.}

I'm predicting we will sign 10 top strikers in 5 seasons time, this is based on it taking Arsene a long long time to accept our biggest weakness and react to it, but when he does he seems to think it's the answer to everything!
No DM since Gilberto now where DM crazy and it will no doubt be the same thing when we finally accepts we need to replace Van persie.
Poor old Arsene he's only just decided to ditch all his old vinyl records and record player and get a CD player:-)

Hello ed. I know this isn't the real madrid page but has there been any developments with morata and juventus? Lastly, would u expect bellerin to stay?

{Ed001's Note - Juventus are trying to persuade him to stay. Yes I would for now, though I am told he sees his long term future as being a replacement for Dani Alves.}

What about sczcneny and ospina? Are we going to look for a new keeper?

{Ed001's Note - one of those will go, the other will be back up.}

Its his home town club where he spent 8 seasons before we tempted him away, can't blame the lad if and when it happens.
We'll have some good service from him between now and then plus make a very tidy profit on a player Barcelona helped to develop in the first place.

G62, Arsene isn't very hip is he?!? All us kids are swapping our CD players for vinyls again these days.

Ed what's the latest with arsenal and mykartarian, the dortmund lad?

{Ed001's Note - there is no latest, nothing has changed, still interest but nothing has happened. Chelsea and Juve are the clubs with the strongest interest I believe, though you might be best checking on the Euro pages with regards to other interest.}

Hi eds, is there anything you can tell us about this Rodriguez left back from Wolfsburg. He was good in the WC and surprised no one bought him, would he be an arsenal target?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - he is very attacking but can't defend. Not heard of any interest from Arsenal recently, though he was watched in the past. Personally I do not rate him at all, he reminds me of Liverpool's Alberto Moreno.}

Dead ball specialist, a good penalty taker which we aren't exactly full of, good attacking energy and a great cross on him which a striker with the heading ability of Giroud would benefit from greatly. His pace and stamina would also be welcome in a high pressing team like ours where the full back's positioning leaves them prone to a counter attack. Also he's only 23!

However, I haven't seen much of him really and if, like Ed001 says, he can't defend then that is a big downside for a full back, especially if we're looking to compete for the title of a high standard league like the BPL.
