Eds any interest in Callum Chambers by Arsenal as suggested by some papers today? Thanks.

{Ed027's Note - has been but nothing serious

1.) Thanks Ed027.

Hi Ed. Is there any interest in Remy from Arsenal?

{Ed025's Note - not as much as there is from dags RG.. :)

1.) I agree. There are far more pressing issues than Remy as of now. CDM for starters, replacement of TV if indeed he leaves and a keeper. Any update on Khedira pursuit Ed025?

{Ed025's Note - not at the moment RG, but after last night im sure his price will be hiked up, he was outstanding..

Ed,

I might sign him myself, lol.

PLOT TWIST:
Why Arsenal have refuse to active buy-back
option?

When we sold Cesc to Barca for £36 million
we inserted more than 2 clauses. First one
was buy back option. Second 50% sell of
player and last one was if Barcelona win
Champions league Arsenal will get another
1.5 million. Which won’t happen now.
Now I’ll come to main point. Why Arsenal
have refused to active buy-back option? I’ll
tell you why but first let's go through second
clause. If Arsenal don’t want to sign player
Barcelona will sell to other club and there
are numbers of clubs are chasing Cesc.
Currently as we heard Chelsea are leading to
sign Cesc and we also heard Chelsea have
made bid around £33 million.

if Barca decide to sell Fabregas to Chelsea,
Arsenal will get 50% of £33 million that’ll be
£16.5 million. Personally I don’t see
Barcelona selling Cesc for 16.5 they are
waiting for Arsenal to make bid which
Arsenal won’t.

Now here is what I think will happen. Arsenal
definitely wants to sign Fabregas but not for
£33 million. Arsenal are waiting for
Barcelona to accept offer from any club.
Then Arsenal will make last minute ditch
offer which will be more than what
Barcelona are getting for example if Barca
decide to sell player for £33 million. Barca
will get £16.5 million and then Arsenal might
try for around 18-20 million. Barca won’t
have any choice but to sell Cesc to Arsenal.

1.) Although I agree with you about Fabregas returning to arsenal, your information on the buy back clause is completely wrong. Arsenal will receive 50% of any profit Barcelona make on cesc.

2.) Have you got another pair of rose tinted specs mate

3.) As much as I like your thinking, that is not the 2nd clause, the 50% sell on is after the set amount we can buy him back for which I believe is 25m, so if Chelsea make an offer off 33m we will get 50% which will mean we get 4m, make sense? Barca won't be that bothered about a couple of million

4.) 06 Jun 2014 18:53:55
I was thinking the same, I am hoping Arsene will do a Jose, like what happend with Demba Ba. In terms that think they might have the player and last minute they lose out and do not sign the much needed replacement for Lampard! I can always hope!

5.) Haven't any of you taken in anything that Ed002 has said? There is no buy back clause. There is only a right of first refusal where Arsenal can match an acceptable bid made my another club, but have no interest in doing so. You are living in a fantasy land.

6.) Hoping there's a Lukaku twist in there somewhere

7.) Would any of eds please confirm that the mentioned second clause is true?

{Ed027's Note - load of bollocks mate, we don't want or need Cesc, he was amazing for us, but poor te past 3 seasons, Barca fans just don't think he's good enough, with good reason.

8.) 06 Jun 2014 23:31:54
That moment when you think you spotted something that nobody else has and write a long post about it.

.

But it's nonsense.

9.) Jose is the master of 'stirring the pot', especially against teams he fears - which I believe he fears us for the title next season - IF Cecs was a REAL target for Chelsea, the selling of Mata, makes no sense, Chelsea have too many players of the same calibre. However the problem for Arsene is who dose not play if we buy him back, as Santa, Ozil, Jack and The Ox and Ramsey all will play major roles/minutes. Arsene still loves Diaby and Arteta and let's not forgot Flamini and our new raising star Zelalem - so IF Cesc is happy to be a role player - maybe cup games and the odd home bankers, why would he really come back to us, we have moved on. UNLESS he changes his game to be more defensive minded, which as he is getting older could be a possibility. I for one hope NOT to see him in another English team shirt, so I hope he remembers he is a GOONER. But I remember saying the same thing about a previous number 4 captain.

Sammy Nelson the greatest left back

Barca fans don't think he's good enough 'with good reason'? Please tell me what these good reasons are, I'm interested to know. And we may not want him but I think we need him. If he goes to any other Premiership club it will ultimately make them stronger and us weaker. Granted we have plenty of midfielders, but we were surprisingly short in that department last season when Ozil Wilshere Ramsey Chamberlain and Diaby were all injured at the same time.

Arteta and Flamini won't be at the club for more than two seasons, Diaby is injured more than he plays, Ozil isn't a centre mid.

Fabregas coming back to the club would be a blessing. I can't understand the sense in not bringing somebody back with that much quality who actually wants to play for us.

{Ed027's Note - Use the search engine, and look at Ed001's comments about him

11.) To reply to the post of Gooner Mike:
A lot of Arsenal-fans name Cesc as replacement for Arteta/Flamini. Is that really what we want? Another CMF on the DMF position?

The striker-position and DMF-position are priority this summer. I hope Wenger will choose for a REAL DMF (Bender, Scheiderlin etc.). If Cesc will not return as a DMF, which position will play than? Ramsey and Wilshere are great on CMF and can, potentially, play for us the next 10 years. Ozil and Santi are great for AMF. We don't need Cesc, fans just love to see him at Arsenal again, but its not necessary, especially not for that money.

Metro reporting that we have made an official bid of 18 million pounds to Real Sociedad for Antoine Griezmann. How can we bid when transfer window isn't open yet?

{Ed002's Note - Bids can be made and transfers agreed in principle at any time - they cannot be completed or processed before the window opens.}

1.) Ed can you possibly confirm any validity in the reports of the £18 million Griezmann bid? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I really have no interest in discussing money. I know where the thought of a bid already being made has come from but I suspect something was lost in the translation from the original Italian. As far as I know no bid has been made but Arsenal remain one of the clubs very interested in the player.}

2.) 26 May 2014 13:00:57
Hello, so have we made a bid for greizeman?

{Ed002's Note - Read the posts? Are you a Liverpool supporter?}

3.) He's good on football manager. Sign him up lol. Really though what's peoples opinions on him. I think left Wing is somewhere we need to strengthen. That is where he plays right

4.) I apologise, is there any interest in Mario Balotelli?

{Ed002's Note - There has been interest but I am not so sure much will come of it.}

5.) ED002 - "Bids can be made and transfers agreed in principle at any time - they cannot be completed or processed before the window opens."

Can you explain how then, Ter-Stegen was officially unveiled as a Barcelona player?

{Ed002's Note - The agreement was reached months ago but the transfer will not be processed until the window opens. Why is this so difficult to understand?}

6.) Thanks Ed002 for the clarification. Do you think we can get him for that cheap considering more big clubs are interested in him?

{Ed002's Note - Ignore the figure.}

7.) Ok I get it can be processed until it opens. But can a player therefore change his mind then. Which is why I assume it seems odd teams announcing someone is signed of it's not 100 complete let's say. This seems a subject that grinds your gears ed002 lol but just wondering

{Ed002's Note - They will have signed a contract - there will be an escape route. You are way out there right now - do you see fairies and butterflies?

8.) No I see spurs winning the league? How far have I wondered? Lol get ya now thanks for clearing that up

This transfer window seems to be a double edged sword with worldcup starting soon. It seems very logical to wait till the worldcup finishes and see if we find any new talent there. But with that comes the over pricing issue.

1.) I hope we don't buy players because they have had a good world cup. That would be risky.

Thanks Ed027.

My guess is they are working on Bender deal. This is always the case with Arsenal. The player most discussed in the media never makes it to Arsenal. Balotelli the most recent one. So Khedira is just a smoke screen for Bender deal which is hardly being discussed.

Arsenal are struggling to agree personal terms with him as he is already getting 75K and to me that is too much for him!

{Ed025's Note - i agree RG, half decent player, but not worth that kind of dosh..
