If the rumours are true we are after a striker midfielder and a winger what is everyone’s realistic choice mine is
ST Gyökeres
CM zubimendi
Winger sane.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 12:32:31
Striker - Isak
CM - assuming its to replace Havartz which I personally do not want but I would like Mason Mount at the club. I know a lot will disagree but I think he would excel in this arsenal team.
Winger - LW - any of
Brennan Johnson
Olise
Mitoma (not sure if plays on the left? )
Rafael Leão.
2.) 24 Apr 2024 17:59:16
ST - Isak 100
ACM - De Jong 60
WG - Williams 40
and I think we will get Zubimendi 50 to replace Partey/ Jorginho
expecting quite a few sales.

Good evening Ed, are arsenal interested in mbappe or will he be way out of our pay grade thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Kylian Mbappe (S) Wants to move to Real Madrid but for them the financial outlay on the overall package could be too much this coming summer unless they can make significant space in the wage structure. They have made him an offer giving them time to reshape their squad if he agrees a move. There is an outside chance they will look to a deal in January and if they do they look to include a player or two in any deal. PSG would demand Rafa Marin and one of Rodrygo Goes or Vinicius Jr plus a lower fee. It would suit all parties and avoid an auction for obscene wages in the summer - but the player will likely not be open to that. A take it or leave it offer of €130 million signing-on fee, alongside wages of €80 million net per year has been offered by PSG to stay - although Mbappe's representatives are demanding a salary of €75M net a year - so after tax - and €150M signing on fee. Real Madrid will offer perhaps half the wages and will try and negotiate a signing on fee. Image rights will be traded to try and make this work. Al-Hilal had a huge €300M offer rejected and the player may see it as too early for such a move, but they could offer the huge wages being demanded. Newcastle would not realistically be in a position to buy him and any interest from them can be discounted whilst their owners plan to take him directly to Saudi. Realistically, Madrid, Middle East, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, if they could clear significant wages from the books, are the only viable options although Juventus have a significant tax advantage over the other clubs, but the costs are still huge and they can be discounted. Chelsea could look to striking a deal including a player PSG are interested in but it is likely they will not be offering the desired wages and bonuses – but they could look for a solution - although I think it unlikely. Bayern Munich have added Harry Kane and have other priorities for the summer. Manchester United could potentially move for Mbappe if the ownership issue is completed soon but for now they are concentrating on others and it is unlikely the majority owners would agree to such a financial commitment; and advice being provided to the player would be to ignore any interest from there. Manchester City have a priority to tie down Haaland and remove a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave in the summer at a fixed fee – and they know there is interest in the player – if he were to decide to leave, then Mbappe will become a consideration. I do not see Arsenal or Liverpool committing to such a huge signing on fee, huge cost of wages and bonuses to be able to sign Mbappe. PSG hope that the situation forces Mbappe to invoke a one year extension - and that seems most likely if he does not agree to Real Madrid.}

Incredible summary, thanks ed002.
Also an incredible snapshot of the excesses of modern football, incidentally.

Apparently arsenal are in serious talks with Everton over onana,
1.) 08 Jan 2024 15:44:55
I read this too Dublin. Whilst I like Onana, I would prefer someone who can put a simple ball in the back of the net.
2.) 08 Jan 2024 20:55:10
Maybe we're after both Onana and a striker? The Onana links make sense, Partey being missing all season has been a big blow.
I wonder whether we're after an older, less fancied striker who can still score to plug the gaps, then going big in the summer.
3.) 09 Jan 2024 11:33:13
i read Onana is in talks with Utd.
4.) 10 Jan 2024 09:03:47
Wire, I agree. on reflection, and FFP notwithstanding, that would be the perfect outcome. It's increasingly sounding like we are pursuing Onana.
Money can be the only reason to go to United, they look far behind us in the quest for silverware and have no obvious plan to rectify it.
Best, HB.

Good afternoon Ed’s and members hope you all had a great new year, ed002 I’ve heard that we are interested in kadioglu from turkey and hato of Ajax, do you know of anything, thank you Ed for your previous answers to my questions.
{Ed002's Note - Ferdi Kadıoğlu (LB/RB/RW) Versatile player who has done well for Fenerbahce and has attracted the attention of Arsenal, Newcastle and Napoli.
Jorrel Hato (LB/CB) Kiddie who is well thought of but Ajax are concerned that clubs from England, including Brighton and Arsenal, and Spain have been speaking with his agent about the future of the kid. They have not made any complaint to UEFA just yet but will if it persists during January. One to watch for the future but cannot move to England at this time, but Arsenal will look to a future transfer and speak with Ajax.}
1.) 06 Jan 2024 15:08:17
Thanks Ed very appreciated.
29 Dec 2023 09:12:16
Good morning Ed I’ve seen today that arsenal are looking at defence in the window and that de ligt is our main target, is there any truth to this, thank you Ed for all your good work this year.
{Ed002's Note - Arsenal have bMatthijs de Ligt (CB) Player now happier with Tuchel as coach and will likely stay where he is, as long as he gets the playing time he desires. I am not aware of any approach to Bayern Munich by Arsenal although they have been looking at CBs and Bayern have no interest in selling although they are persisting in chasing another CB themselves.}

I can see a lot of players being sold this summer who does everyone think will be sold . Eddie
Nelson
Smith Rowe
Partey or Jorginho ( not both )
Jesus if a big offer comes in
Zink same if a big offer comes in
Kiwior on loan.
1.) 25 Apr 2024 13:27:43
Eddie £20-30m
Nelson £10-20m
ESR £15-25m
Jorginho Free
Partey £20m
Zink £30m
Jesus £40m
Ramsdale £20m
I’d imagine that would be the rough values if they were to be sold.
{Ed025's Note - over-egging a few of them in my view fuser, Zinc and Jesus would be £20 max for me mate and Eddie a little less, but i think you might get more for ESR though..
2.) 25 Apr 2024 15:11:45
Ramsdale surely worth more than 20 mil.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 15:14:43
No I agree ed025, the English lads are only that high due to the English tax that bump up their prices. Think if Mount wasn’t English then last summer with 1 year on his contract he goes for 40m instead of 60m etc.
On Jesus, both Spain and Italy are struggling for dollar so can’t imagine any team buying him. Barcelona are broke, Real have no need for him. Only real options for him would be Atletico, Inter (if they sell Martinez) and Juve (if they sell Vlahovic) and possible Osimhen replacement at Napoli. Any other team is only paying £30m max imo.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think Jesus would be first choice striker for any top team fuser, maybe as part of a front 2 but he does not score enough goals to be a lone striker imo mate..
4.) 25 Apr 2024 19:20:15
Kiwior has actually proven to be very decent. Not sure I'd send him out on loan.
5.) 25 Apr 2024 20:15:23
Dublin, who’s buying Ramsdale though? Maybe Newcastle? But outside of them I don’t really see anyone buying him. Maybe a lower Prem club like Wolves as they need a GK but don’t see them spending more than £20m on a keeper.
6.) 25 Apr 2024 21:43:09
Who’s buying any of them Who knows, we will see when they move I can’t say who’s moving where just can’t see him staying.
21 Apr 2024 20:54:20
Massive two games coming up win these and I think it’s ours COYG.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 16:37:42
I think your wrong there mate we need to win every game remaining i don't see city or liverpool dropping anything we have chelsea, tottenham and manu as well as bounrmouth and everton.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 17:21:23
I think these two are the biggest games to be played and if we do win both I think the players will be on cloud 9 and momentum will carry us to glory (hopefully)
21 Apr 2024 18:33:23
I personally think a couple of members only want Arsenal to win the title so they can have a dig at members who said we lost the league against Villa whereas the rest of us want it because we are GUNNERS COYG hahahah.
11 Apr 2024 17:52:17
I keep seeing reports that rafael leao is our top target has anyone heard anything?
1.) 12 Apr 2024 00:15:36
I reckon his price tag is rather beyond us.
31 Mar 2024 14:57:20
Hi all long time no speak, I’ve been reading a lot about a ten man striker shortlist, as you will probably know who is on there, I was wondering who is your preferred option and why, mine would be victor gyokeres, great on the ball very strong and when he’s in the box he’s very selfish and is always looking too get the ball in the net. also he’s been in the championship which is a tough league and banged them in, him and zubimendi would be an outstanding summer window,

Good afternoon Ed, is his release clause in the region of 50m? Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - €60M in a single payment.}

24 Apr 2024 16:10:11
I think we 1000% need a new striker, I don’t think harvertz is a 20/ 25 striker at all he’s had a good game yesterday but seems to go missing a lot, if we get someone who can score 20/ 25 league goals then everyone can look out.
24 Apr 2024 07:52:05
I just see arsenal will listen to offers for him.
