Arsenal rumours 2

10 Feb 2025 14:28:17
Summer transfer window is suppose to be unprecedented with with about 7/ 8 leaving and the same coming in with 3 big signings I’ve heard on the grape vine, will it happen who knows.

14 Feb 2025 19:42:40
Isak, cunha, and, sesko.

{Ed025's Note - more chance of ...Curly Larry and Mo Elijah.. :)

15 Feb 2025 11:17:19
Hmmm I can get the 7 out, but THREE big signings in is unlikely.

15 Feb 2025 17:11:29
Out: Zinchencko, Kiwior, Tierney, Partey, Trossard - Jorginho +1?

In: Sesko, Zuibemendi, starting LW?

15 Feb 2025 17:56:32
is 14 trolling me again? i swear i can spell zubimendi!

16 Feb 2025 15:32:16
Just read that Nico Williams has told his team mates he is Emirates bound.

24 Feb 2025 05:00:04
Need about 6 players.

Sessko, Zubimendi, Joan Garcia, Cunha?, Nypan?, Jorrel Hato?

28 Feb 2025 17:53:25
I’m really hoping we get a left back.

05 Feb 2025 21:55:41
Well Arteta had the chance to sign a striker and here we are talking about another lost opportunity. One day we might get what we want. Newcastle are not a bad team but they should be whipping boys for us. Difference is they actually have forwards!

{Ed025's Note - i think Arteta wanted a striker Sparky, it looks like the powers that be did not agree or did not want the financial burden mate..

05 Feb 2025 22:32:32
Interesting. Was anyone other than Watkins under serious consideration do you know? I understand the Sesko/ Isak links but neither were possible in January. Just curious if there were any other options discussed….

{Ed025's Note - i would be guessing Skywalker, but we all know that things would have been a lot better if one had been bought mate..

08 Feb 2025 17:10:08
Agreed. Very frustrating all round.

And obviously nobody could have predicted an injury in the forward line…….

13 Feb 2025 16:57:20
I seriously don't see how we can through the blame at arteta when he obviously doesn't have the final say. Also if we want to get our target we can't just spend crazy money on a striker just for the sake of it. Nonetheless, I think it might cost us for the final run as we have no strikers available.

15 Feb 2025 07:14:03
I don’t think Arteta is to blame, but we also didn’t have to spend crazy money.

When you look at some of the loans that happened around Europe could we have done something? A little more forward planning from the summer - could we have brought in someone before the season started? We obviously needed someone.

Was there any point loaning Nelson out to loan in Sterling? Taking up a premier league loan space?

Just seems that not enough thought has gone into things, so not surprising we are hearing that Edu was pushed and didn’t jump.

02 Feb 2025 11:11:41
Morning Trish, have you any news on our search for a striker or is it still going to be hard this window,?

{Ed001's Note - Ithought you would go in for Boniface but it seems that you are going with what you have for the rest of the season.}

02 Feb 2025 19:10:48
Thanks mate.

02 Feb 2025 23:06:15
You don’t think we will get a loan for Tel done?

{Ed001's Note - isn't he a winger?}

03 Feb 2025 09:19:12
Hey Trish, looks like you’re right, report’s says we are done this window

One step ahead mate.

{Ed001's Note - makes a nice change to be right!}

03 Feb 2025 13:35:16
You won't hear me disagreeing with you Ed001 (j/ k) . Hope you're well, mate.

{Ed001's Note - I am good mate, I see your attempts at humour are not so good these days though! How is life in the sunny old UK?}

03 Feb 2025 13:49:27
I'm getting older mate and finding the will to be funny is tiring me out. Ugh! Don't get me started about the weather. When I first came to these shores, I absolutely loved the cold, crisp weather. Like my will to be funny, my will for this weather is also slowly ebbing away.

Glad you're doing good, mate.

{Ed001's Note - we actually had a bit of rain here yesterday.}

03 Feb 2025 14:30:45
Stop showing off!

{Ed001's Note - sorry mate, I will stop now. I need to go inside now from the balcony as it is getting a bit chilly anyway. I doubt it is even 20c now, so I better go get a jumper on.}

03 Feb 2025 15:09:29
Tw*t 😂

I use to hate the heat back home and was thankful for air conditioning. These days the old bones would relish it. I'd love to move but the wife doesn't fancy it. I regret all the jokes I use to make about being allowed 4 wives.

{Ed001's Note - love you too mate hahaha.

Maybe you should consider wife number 2?? ;-) }

02 Feb 2025 10:58:20
Loan move for Mathys Tel till end of season?

02 Feb 2025 13:52:41
I thought about that until I heard he turned down Tottenham for potential loan deal at man united.

02 Feb 2025 15:18:22
Not sure there’s a better option that doesn’t tie our hands in the summer - can’t do nothing…. can we?

02 Feb 2025 15:47:47
unfortunetly I am getting ready for the fall out in the upcoming weeks when the club states we tried (Watkins) but nothing availble, and Nwaneri is like a new signing.

01 Feb 2025 16:50:43
Rashford to Villa

Watkins to the Arsenal?

01 Feb 2025 18:40:53
Watkins overrated imo.

31 Jan 2025 15:58:21
Nada has come to the fore again.!
I said this in an earlier comment.
I think Nada is looking like a safe bet once again.

31 Jan 2025 19:02:10
Never heard of him. Does he play in the French league?

01 Feb 2025 11:37:24
Helder…
It’s a joke. Nada means nothing or nobody. 😂😂.

29 Jan 2025 17:52:27
Ssp news saying we've had a bid for Ollie Watkins rejected

Trish have you heard anything?

{Ed001's Note - only that they are selling Duran so have rejected all interest in Watkins.}

29 Jan 2025 18:24:48
Thanks mate.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. They want rid of Duran as he is a bit of an attitude problem.}

30 Jan 2025 22:58:20
I was at a party with Duran and he liked to party❄️.

31 Jan 2025 23:17:08
Yeh I heard he’s Hungry like the wolf 🥳.

28 Jan 2025 18:55:08
Evening Ed’s

Are Arsenal in for Mathys Tel?

{Ed001's Note - Tel has been offered around, but doesn't seem Arsenal have shown any interest.}

27 Jan 2025 12:36:35
Lots of chatter about a youngsters called Sverre Nypan. Have any Eds got any info please. Seems he's highly rated.

Also Evan Ferguson. Perhaps he is being considered as a bit of help for Havertz who it's been reported had to be helped off at the weekend as he was so knackered.

{Ed001's Note - sorry for late reply, took the old folks to see Atlantis today, it was the first time they had been back since it sunk beneath the waves....

I believe Nypan should be all set to join, there were other offers but he seems set on Arsenal.

Ferguson is still not back to anything like his best, I would be very surprised if Arsenal moved for him. He is being offered around.}

27 Jan 2025 19:42:25
I'm intrigued where you took your folks Ed lol

And thanks for the info. Looks like Nypan could be a good signing for us :)

{Ed001's Note - Atlantis is a big hotel on Palm Jumeirah with a waterpark and aquarium. It is a beautiful place to visit and Emirates residents get 30% discount.}

27 Jan 2025 09:20:04
Ornetein on nbc sports says isak is our no1 target he doesn't think we will get him this window

We are actively looking to sign a forward, I'd say on loan. I have a feeling we will go for rashford on loan

Sesko is not in our plans.

27 Jan 2025 09:43:05
Ornstein **.

27 Jan 2025 10:24:31
Issue with Rashford loan is we would have to cancel either Neto or Sterling loan to allow it, as I believe we are only allowed 2 domestic loans.

So I presume, if a loan, it would be one from abroad.

27 Jan 2025 14:40:49
Sterling has been really terrible. I feel for the guy, he tries, but just isn't at the level we need. To add Rashford to that, either with or instead of, seems like a terrible idea.

Give me a young player who will put in the necessary graft any day. Hell, I'd love to see Calafiori further forward, the man has style.

27 Jan 2025 15:40:35
I think Ferguson from Brighton would be a sound and popular choice on loan.

27 Jan 2025 17:53:46
We can’t cancel Sterling loan as there’s no break clause, so we would have to sign a GK/ rely on Setford as back up and cancel Neto.

27 Jan 2025 13:23:53
Hey Ed, apologies if this has all ready been asked. Nico Williams huge wages decent buy out clause. Are you aware of Arsenal having any interest?

And again apologies if this has been asked. Victor Osimhen. He could be an interesting and realistic target?

{Ed001's Note - interest, yes, but I would not expect anything in January.

Osimhen was asking for 400k a week from Chelsea in the summer, I very much doubt his attitude has impressed anyone looking at him.}

27 Jan 2025 19:32:30
Thanks for input and info Trish.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mal.}

30 Jan 2025 15:25:57
PLEASE …! Anyone but Rashford…!

26 Jan 2025 13:32:51
Ed, I read we turned down a loan for Muani. Why didn't we pay the money or was there another reason?

{Ed001's Note - Arteta wasn't keen on him.}

26 Jan 2025 14:23:15
Shame - Tjanks for the reply.

Was it attitude or that he doesn’t track back / press? Seems like a goal scorer.

{Ed001's Note - he has not impressed recently to be honest, so it is probably understandable that Arteta didn't fancy him. Big wages too.}

27 Jan 2025 09:17:11
he was not the answer, we need someone yes, but we need a big upgrade on what we have, most of the names mentioned or available are not the answer.

if we want to win the league we need to pay a over the asking price to land one of our actual main targets (PSR permitting) We have had some good deals recently and we seem to be a bit shrewd or at least more so than we have been in the past, but this is not the time to try and be too cleaver. spend big, offload some that are not required and go and win some silverware.
