Ed002 can you tell us some updated information on Sokratis and Lichtsteiner please?

{Ed002's Note - Sokratis should be completed at some point. Stephan Lichtsteiner makes no sense to me but AFC seem stupid enough. Although there will be no transfer fee there will be a hefty signing on fee and high waste of wages for a 34 or 35 year old to provide no more than cover for Bellerin or a Bellerin replacement. If there is no suitable youngster or player on loan to provide cover, then the club should look to recruit someone of an age they can be developed rather than someone in their mid 30s. Regardless, if it is all agreed it will be completed in three weeks or so.}

Thanks Ed, I didn’t know there would be a huge signing on fee. Has there been any developments on the list of players you previously gave us? Anyone added to the list or players we can strike off the list?

{Ed002's Note - There will be changes to the list.}

Lichtsteiner is all done now, yeah a bit of a strange one being 34, But I guess allows more rotation of the RB position and perhaps extra cover at CB if needed. TBH I don't really rate Bellerin much anyway and Lichtsteiner while not as quick would be a better defender for me if only in the short term. I would quite willing to sell Bellerin for a decent sum.

That is being a bit too critical, pundits have been complaining for years about Arsenal not having enough experience, Arsenal players have been called 'school boys' for a long time.

I think Lichtsteiner is a good addition and according to Emery he will bring experience 'on and OFF' the field. Emery knows what he is doing also considering the rumoured meagre transfer budget, Lichtsteiner is still good enough to play in cup games and the Europa league, it will also be good to see if he will provide competition to Bellerin.

Should of signed Perreira but he's now joined Leicester meanwhile wolves are signing cancelo for 35mil and we just signed Lichsteiner who's going to have little Impact and not challenge Bellerin, if we wanted a freebie should. Of gone for hendricks and if we sign fellaini this will just be the most ridiculous transfer in a long time.
