Arsenal rumours 2

12 Oct 2023 15:23:32
Ed02, if you have the time, I have a question about club ownership. So, a person can't own more than one football club in the same league. How does that work for teams that are legible for the same competitions, like Europa League, Champions league, etc?

{Ed002's Note - The rukes are related to majority ownership, so owning a small percentage is not an issue. For situations whener owners like the City Group own several sides, those with the lowest co-efficients will be excluded. For clubs like RBL and RBS the ownership structure was changed to accommodate them.}

Thanks ed, so for example if Girona and city qualify for the CL, would Girona be excluded and if they are, would they drop to the Europa League or be totally excluded?

{Ed002's Note - The City Football Group do not have majority ownership of Girona.}

Hi ed002, what are your thoughts with vinai leaving Arsenal? Do you have any recommendations on who Arsenal should look at to replace him? Do you know who Arsenal are loooking at? Loaded questions, really just want your thoughts on it please. Cheers!

{Ed002's Note - He is simply an administrator, he is not involved directly with the footballing side of the game.}

Can i ask if Arsenal are scouting/ have interest in Evan Ferguson.

seems like a few others have interest in him, including chelsea.

is he a likely target in 2024?

{Ed002's Note - Not for Arsenal.}

06 Sep 2023 14:17:32
Are we interested in Ivan Toney Edoo2.

{Ed002's Note - Possibly.}

07 Sep 2023 19:37:43
Bryan Mbeumo Was definitely looked at.

31 Aug 2023 13:44:50
Any truth in the Smith Rowe Mudruk exchange?

02 Sep 2023 00:45:17
That would be hilarious. I think the clear answer is no, though, and I think we will see a lot more of Emile quite soon.

02 Sep 2023 19:16:12
Hope so🙏🙏.

Good morning Edoo2, hope you're doing ok

Ed do you know what we may do regarding in and out in the last days of the window?

{Ed002's Note - There will not be any change of direction from what has been explained and the club will be pushing to move players on.}

Do we hold any interest in elitike from psg would be ideal signing on loan.

{Ed002's Note - None.}

Hi Ed002 Sorry to disturb you I`m sure you are very busy but I`ve just seen an article stating Edu has contacted Napoli regarding Osimhen and was given encouragement from his agent. Have we indeed contacted Napoli or is this just click bait? I have searched but couldn`t find anything. No worries if too busy just thought I`d ask COYG.

{Ed002's Note - Victor Osimhen (S) Napoli made it clear to Chelsea who enquired in 2021 that even €100M would not buy the player then and buy now they would look to around double that. He will not move this summer although an offer could yet be made by Al-Hilal will offer him a chance in the Middle East. Interest of Manchester City went with Haaland signing last year but may return if he were to depart. Real Madrid interest is elsewhere and Manchester United have opted for another. Conte wanted him at Spurs as a Kane replacement but the new management has other ideas. Bayern Munich now have Kane and that removes their interest and he is too expensive for Milan regardless of investment coming in. This leaves PSG, Chelsea and Arsenal, and his “agent” is doing the rounds this month to try and get them to seek to agree a deal with Napoli for next summer and give him a large fee now. Chelsea are not interested in such a deal. I doubt the others would be stupid enough to commit such huge amounts of money in such a deal either.}

Thanks Ed much appreciated! Must stop reading clickbait COYG.

Hi ed002 reports that chelsea want smith rowe and that we are willing to sell, is there any truth? Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Emile Smith Rowe (AM/CM/LM) Representative was clear at the end of the summer that if Arsenal were persisting with trying to add the likes of James Maddison or Youri Tielemans then ESR would likely depart. Whether this has soured relatons or not I don't know, but Arsenal have been directly offering the player to other PL sides including Chelsea and Newcastle. Chelsea may have a need to replace Gallagher and he might be an option they consider but I am not aware of it goining further than that right now.}

Good morning Ed002
Is it likely we will lose Gabriel this transfer window?

Always grateful for your insight, thank you.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer "likely" questions but there is certainly interest.}

28 Aug 2023 09:30:19
Thanks Ed002.

Balogun to Monaco being reported as done deal. €40m with a significant sell on clause. Nice work Edu.

Anyone know about the gossip of a meeting between Pepe and arteta about him coming back to the squad seeing a lot of talk today.

21 Aug 2023 22:52:02
I'd have pepe back. not sure he was the failure everyone made him out to be. but maybe there's a discipline element.

22 Aug 2023 14:08:31
he averaged a goal involvement every 2 games in his first 2 seasons, so certainly was not the failure that everyone made out, but his last of effort when the chip was down so to say was questionable.

and maybe represented in the fact that he is struggling to find a club, in that there has been interest but no one seems to have been able to agree personal terms. Makes me wonder if he is a bit lazy and just wants to be paid a lot for little effort.

I could very well be wrong, just a thought.

22 Aug 2023 20:32:49
I think he lacks determination, drive and the mindset to be a top player or it's just laziness as you say. There are people like that amongst us everyday people. Like some folks having adult children at home well in their 30s not even wanting to work. Later they wish they could roll back the years. He's 29 now I believe with the youthful years behind of his career behind him. Must be realising he has no where to go with no one wanting him.

Not sure about the money part someone slap a big price tag on him, which comes hand in hand with a huge salary.

All speculation! 😁.

23 Aug 2023 20:44:39
Doesn’t say much if even the Saudis don’t want him!

25 Aug 2023 14:28:16
Perhaps he is one of those people who don't have high energy levels so appears to be lazy?

26 Aug 2023 17:45:36
Get rid, he hasn’t looked a 5 million pound player let alone 72.
