Been seeing reports that Insigne is unsettled in Napoli and unhappy with current contract offer. Any truth to rumours Arsenal might land him before the transfer window closes?

maybe if they manage to land Icardi, they might be inclined to let him leave? but i'm guessing hefty fee so probably not.

Any substance to rumours Arsenal are in for Zlatan?

What about Cavani? It seems like PSG would need to offload a player if the talk about Di Maria joining them is true.

Thanks Eds!!

{Ed002's Note - There has been a discussion this week between the agent of ZI and an English side about the player - but it was not Arsenal. Arsenal has not shown interest in Cavani.}

Zlatan on LVG today: "At the end, I think he is professional and I am professional. Whoever I work with, I never had this kind of problems, because at the end I need to do my job, he needs to do his job. And I think a lot of fights would happen, but that's something I like."

If Ibrohimovic was to come to England there's only one club who would be willing to pay his wages and pussy foot around him.
Absolutely fantastic player who has always had an ego the size of Australia and the older he gets the more egotistic he will become as his abilities diminish.
On the face of it he would be a really exciting signing but in reality he would cause more problems than he solved.

Seeing reports all over that Benzema will not be leaving Madrid this summer.

Given that he was Arsenal's first choice, where does that leave them, Eds? I know it's been said multiple times that Arsenal will only make a move for quality players and won't be forced into any signings that don't align with that philosophy, but are there any such players still out on the market or is there still hope for Benzema?

{Ed002's Note - I have answered this question repeatedly as you note.}

I think the best thing people can do is wait. It's not over till September . It doesn't matter what clubs and agents say regarding moves. It's all part of the cat and mouse games that surround silly season

Agree with Browgun here.

I don't remember hearing anything about us signing Özil till about 11am on deadline day.
Things can happen really quickly in transfer windows and there's still a month to go!

That's it D, you just never know. The only problem with leaving it late is that a real top class player would need to be replaced but the selling club but like you say it never bothered real with ozil

I think Wenger has a trick or 2 up his sleeve guys

Hey eds,

First time poster here. Been reading about this agent Muzzi Ozcan and his comments about Arsenal being close to making the signing of the season. Any weight behind this and any idea of who he might be referring to? I hear lots of names bandied about like Gotze, Higuain and Benzema so just wondering if you had anything to add to this or if it should just be dismissed entirely.

Thanks for your work!!

Given Roma's loan signing of Vermaelen, do you think this opens the door for Wenger to sign Manolas?

From a logical standpoint it makes sense. Wenger didn't bite the bullet and pay what was needed for Mustafi because he didn't rate him highly enough and instead was waiting for the dominoes to fall and make Manolas available, even if he will be a far more expensive signing.

Perhaps these are just the delusional thoughts of a Gooner who needs a lifeline as he is at risk of drowning in the smugness of United fans around him.

{Ed001's Note - with Chelsea also being interested, I doubt Arsenal will go near the price Roma would want to let him go. When there is interest from two English sides, the price always goes up.}

I see no reason to remove Coquelin. He has been at Arsenal for a number of years, his teammates seem to like and respect him and he plays hard every second he's on the pitch. Vidal on the other hand plays in more of a box to box role and has gotten a taste for goal so you will find him in advanced positions far too often for my liking. I don't expect Coquelin to score even if he plays 40+ games a season because he is so disciplined and so committed to filling his defensive responsibilities in the team.

Ospina is a good keeper but we know he's too short and has been exposed on a few occasions as a result. Cech is a major step up, just look at the comments players are making about the effect he is having on the changing room, got to love it! I also really think that Coquelin made Ospina look better than he is because it was his insertion into our starting line up that settled the defense rather than Ospina's. Coquelin's presence and his ability to break up play kept our CBs from getting caught out and allowed for our full backs more freedom to make forward runs.
