Hey Ed002 I hope you're well? I'm sure you've said on many occasions that monreal will leave and that it's time for him to move on, but I read that we are "desperate for him to sign a new contract to avoid losing him for nothing" is this nonsense or has our stance changed, thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Yes my expectation is that Monreal will leave and certainly Real Sociedad are willing to take him on. I am not really hip to contract discussions and would need to ask, but unless Arsenal wish to keep him there is no impetus for him to sign a new deal if Arsenal want to then sell him at a profit. If Arsenal start looking to treat players in such a way, then it will become harder to recruit players.}

Thanks for the info Ed 😊.

There were reports at the end of last season that the club were looking to acquire a left back, so it comes as no surprise that we are still looking at left backs, such as Tagliafico at Ajax. As far as Monreal goes, he will be 34 in February and has always lacked the pace needed for a top modern full/ wing back. He can fill in at CB as we have seen, which is a plus.
With players leaving this summer, such as Cech and Ramsey, others underperforming, simply not good enough or do not fit into Emery's methods, I believe that with a limited budget, particularly if we fail to qualify for nest season's CL, we may have to retain certain players, even if they are not ideal. Amongst these may fall Monreal.
We clearly need a CB, a wide attacking player and a creative mdfield player. With the reported £40m budget, I cannot see more than 3 signings, hence Monreal may have to be retained, assuming he wants to stay.

Seri to Fulham seems like a massive coup for them!

Good morning eds, any news on adil?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything new.}
1.) 18 Jun 2018 09:08:41
OK thanks mate.
01 Feb 2018 23:42:15
all the info i have seem on the length of ozil, mikhi and aubas contracts seems to be 3 and a half years, is this right? it seems mad to only tie down your record signing and the player you have broken your wage structure for to reasonably short contracts, we will have to give them massive pay rises again in 2 years or risk going through the same thing as we have this year all over again. especially as ozil knows how to play it to a tee.
1.) 02 Feb 2018 01:32:51
I think age might have a factor they are all approaching 30 so makes sense.
2.) 02 Feb 2018 14:52:01
Clubs are giving shorter deals as the wages have risen to such high figures and in the cases of Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang they will be entering their 30's during the term of their deals. The thing that makes no sense is the absurdly transfer fees paid for players that only have 3 and a half year deals. So Aubameyang will cost a combined total of around £87m in wages and transfer fee, for only 3 and a half years.

"Juventus have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Wojciech Szczesny for €16m (£14m) . He is seen as the long-term heir to Gianluigi Buffon. (Sky in Italy) " interesting if true, i haven't seen much of him in italy anyone know if he's improved alot? if he has we need a replacement for cech in the not to distant future so that could be a mistake.
1.) 05 Jun 2017 01:00:01
Szczesny has improved massively at Roma and Ospina looks to be off. I reckon Wenger will try to keep Szczesny as understudy to Cech in the league and play him in Europe/ domestic comps, and look to replace Petr after the end of next season (just my guess) .

Anyone seen that video of Nuno Tavares and his dogs? To put it mildly, that guy is really, really weird.
1.) 18 Jul 2024 23:52:22
My dog licks my face, but that clip is hella weird! I wish I hadn't googled it. Should have just taken you at your word about him being a weirdo!

Sooo creepy, time to ship him out.

Poor Wilfred, his nightmare goes on.

Mudryk with the best shot of the Euros! ?.

I watched the first 24 minutes of the Scotland v Germany match and haven't watched any football since.

The other big 6 managers are going to hold Arteta down and wax his head, chanting "one of us! One of us! "
1.) 29 May 2024 05:51:51
Hold on, eden! Who are you considering big 6 managers?
2.) 29 May 2024 09:37:42
The traditional ones with lookalike bald managers, that's why I didn't say top 6 ? and Ange doesn't count, because he's at spurs.
3.) 29 May 2024 16:21:36
Thinking we need to re-evaluate what top 6 is. Emery will be gutted he's not included.
4.) 29 May 2024 17:38:49
Big 6 are the teams with all the money, top 6 are the top 6.
5.) 30 May 2024 19:59:47
sorry about that eden. My eyes read "top 6" and my mind kept thinking big 6, even when I typed top 6 myself.

Sharpie if you didn’t have so much smoke in your eyes, you wouldn’t be getting confused

Mal, no one complains when I fire up at halftime!
8.) 31 May 2024 10:04:34
Sharpie I’m not complaining mate. You’ve been given a job and you do it rather well
#keeponrollingson.

Mal, love the fact you've entered the hashtag era! Well done you, ya ol cadge!

I’ve just been on a computer course at the local community centre
I’m getting the hang of this.
05 Apr 2024 13:13:39
Mikel Arteta on if Smith Rowe is in his plans: “Yes. I look at him and what happened, in the last two seasons especially with him, what happened three seasons ago as well. ”
“Take all that. It’s the best thing that could’ve happened for him in his career if he uses it in the right way now, so don’t look back and say, ‘if, if’, no, this happened, use it. That was the best thing that could’ve happened. ”
“‘I had a great moment, I had a difficult moment, now I know what I want and how to deal with that. That’s going to make me a much better player’. You can see of a player that we have in him when he’s fit and playing at that level. ”
Great advice for anyone really.
1.) 05 Apr 2024 13:37:51
Absolutely Eden, it's not the events that happened in our lives themselves but our thoughts and opinions about those events that cause us the most long term damage and suffering. If we continuely tell ourselves negative unhappy stories about life then we will naturally be negative unhappy people but if we let go of life's negative events quickly and move on from them completely then the future and our happiness is all to play for ????.
2.) 05 Apr 2024 18:59:24
I was so happy to see ESR start and then I wondered. How does he break through to the first team on a regular basis? Pretty difficult with Havertz and Rice always in front of him.
23 May 2024 13:09:15
Cheers ed, great info as always, would you be able to say who appears to be our first choice please? Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Toney but I suspect he will head elsewhere.}
11 Mar 2024 10:59:03
Tbf D16 after we missed out on Mudryk, we did sign Trossard, so I guess then we wanted cover and competition for Martinelli which we have now.
14 Feb 2024 20:58:25
Milan are going to regret selling Giroud in 5 years.
14 Oct 2023 01:55:33
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.}
30 Jul 2023 20:49:47
That would arguably be the biggest statement of the lot! Upgrading a position we didn't really need to. 2 30+ mil keepers fighting for number 1, can't see them both being happy though! ?.
26 Jul 2024 16:46:33
I agree he would be good, but would he be reasonably priced? Do Villa want or need to sell him?
05 Jun 2024 14:57:18
'the tyranny of the majority' is that a weird way of phrasing democracy?
29 May 2024 17:38:49
Big 6 are the teams with all the money, top 6 are the top 6.
29 May 2024 09:37:42

22 May 2024 21:45:54
We've been linked with Bruno Guimaraes and De Jong, while I don't think either of those are very likely. Hopefully that's the type of calibre we are going for to replace Party, Gallagher is decent, good leadership and may become great, but at the minute I don't think he would improve us and would arguably be a step down. I'm hoping we don't skimp on that position and get the best possible player available.
