Hi Ed's, lots of newspapers reporting on arsenal interest in Falcao, firstly why are Monaco letting him leave on loan? How much would he cost to buy outright? And is it likely that he will be wearing an arsenal shirt in the coming days? Thanks

{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.}

Hi Eds, this is somewhat of a random post, I haven't heard any rumours regarding Zlatan, but do you know if there is any interest from Arsenal or any other club for the big man? Thanks

{Ed001's Note - they would like to offload him, but no takers because of his wages.}

Hi Ed's, I remember news from a while back about Wellington Silva and him getting a work permit or something, and he can now play for us. Can he not be brought back this January?
Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed and he is on a season long loan.}

1.) Not good enough

Hi Ed's with Giroud out for a while is Cavani being considered? Or is welbeck or Remy a more likely signing? Thanks

{Ed027's Note - Welbeck and Remy are more likely if any striker is signed

Hi Eds, I was wondering with all the talk about about a Cesc sale, are arsenal considering buying the legend back? Thanks

{Ed027's Note - legend? You've got to be kidding me. Cesc will not be moving

1.) I think it might just happen Ed27, mind you I though all last summer we would sign Torres, I'm a less than reliable source

2.) Gonna upset the masses here I feel, but is Cesc really a 'legend'?

For me, the only mid we need now is a defensive one.

I always get bit when I get hooked by rumours, but I'd love, LOVE Lars bender to be the one we actually get.


But in regards to Cesc.

Say we do buy him.

Say we spend £20-30m on him.

Who loses out?
Do you drop Özil for him?
Drop Rambo?
Pay £30m for a bench player and go for budget ones in needed positions?

Let's face it, even if we DO have this reporter £100m+ budget, Wenger won't haven a net spend of more than £50m.
Cesc would just be a needless luxury, who's declined massively in form since his return to barca and just doesn't look half the player he was.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be annoyed to see him in a Utd/city top, but as far as I'm concerned, Cesc isn't someone we need right now.

As far as the term 'legend' goes, I appreciate what Cesc did when he was with us, but did he do as much or more for the club as we did for him?
I'm not convinced.

Tony Adams, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, those guys are (just some of) the players i'd class as legends, and Cesc isn't in that bracket.

Don't get me wrong, loved Cesc as a player, enjoyed what he did, enjoyed seeing him play, enjoyed his friendship with players like Hleb, Rosicky, Flamini and even now, I enjoy seeing his (fewer now) messages of love and support for the club.

But if you tell me Cesc is 100% coming back permanently, I'm excited, but that's it.

When Thierry stepped on to that pitch, as a month long loan, I remember goosebumps on my arms and when he scored that classic Henry goal, by opening his body and dropping the shoulder, god it was amazing.

That's a legend.

Peace!
