According to one news outlet we have passed up on Sterling and Coman both.
If that's true then we go with what we got
COYG.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 19:56:56
Apparently we're back in talks for sterling.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 21:12:27
Apparently so Bristow mate.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 23:38:13
Taking their time ain't they haha.
23 Aug 2024 18:23:27
Fabio going back to Porto on loan
Surprised tbh.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 19:18:58
That came out of the blue HB!
2.) 23 Aug 2024 19:46:09
Yes it did Sally
Hope he returns to us, think there is a very good footballer in there somewhere.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 20:58:08
I think it's a great move, he needs to be playing to get his confidence back and couldn't ask for a better place than somewhere he's familiar.
He's barely going to play here to build any confidence or rhythm here.
Nwaneri may even have gone above him in terms of who would get any available minutes for a run out.
Hopefully it goes well for him.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 08:41:33
I agree, this is a win-win-win. He's getting regular game time at an age where it's make or break, he frees up space for Nwaneri, and he probably improves his stock if we choose to sell next year.

Hello everyone.
Would like to ask the Eds about our striking options.
Sesko, Osminhen, Rashford, Isak. Toney
They are main ones being linked.
If it came down to personal choice who would be their choice and why.
Have not seen hard anything of Sesko or Osimhen, so out of the other 3 my choice would be Isak
My thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - I have already answered about Osimhen and Sesko today.
Marcus Rashford (LW/F) Much will depend on what happens in the summer regarding a new coach, but I am sure Manchester United will be regretting the new long-term contract. A third-party has spoken to clubs, including Juventus and Arsenal about him on behalf of Manchester United, but I am not aware of any serious interest and both clubs have other targets. Spurs may offer a wildcard solution to replace Richarlison. Suggestion that he could be a Mbappe replacement at PSG seem far-fetched given they have other clear targets in mind.
Alexander Isak (S) Newcastle have no intention of selling Isak and will let Bruno Guimaraes be sold.
Ivan Toney (S) Brentford do not want to sell but are aware Toney may look to move up a step and will reluctantly look to perhaps £70M as a sale price in the summer - but will likely not get anything close to that. Newcastle, if they can sell their project to him, offer the chance of a return to the club who previously could find no use for him in the three years he was there - but that would only be in the most unlikely event they lose Isak. Arsenal, Leeds, Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham have all sent scouts on more than one occasion to watch him prior to his ban, but Chelsea and Spurs have preferred options meaning West Ham, Arsenal or Manchester United are likely best placed to complete a transfer. First choice for Arsenal.}
1.) 04 Jun 2024 13:09:42
Thanks Ed mate
In depth as always.
2.) 05 Jun 2024 13:15:29
Arsenal have moved on from Toney. Sesko is priority it seems.
{Ed002's Note - What if Sesko signs for one of the other interested sides?}
3.) 05 Jun 2024 22:10:32
Then we move onto the next option but there is no way he chooses Chelsea or UTD over Arsenal. Chelsea are a shambles of a club.
4.) 07 Jun 2024 10:30:08
Money talks mate if they offer more wages then arsenal he might join them.
5.) 07 Jun 2024 16:53:46
A shambles of a club? We took 2 years off to rebuild after the sanctions and sale of the club. Hopefully coming together now and looking forward to giving you lot a challenge next season. In peace.
6.) 08 Jun 2024 21:40:51
Chelsea have quickly turned in Tottenham unless they get their act together and get world class manager they ain't winning anything.
7.) 09 Jun 2024 08:16:02
Ed002 is sesko going to chelsea then? And what is stopping us doing the toney deal now? He has a year left and a deal should be pretty straightforward i would guess? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Benjamin Sesko (S/F) RBL could be offered a quick profit. His agent has not stopped offering the player around since his move to RBL. Described by a well known ex-Premier League player and high-end scout as "raw but improving". Was on the list for Spurs as a potential Kane replacement but their interest has moved on to another player that they are now pushing for. Newcastle enquired as they were concerned they will lose Isak - but continue to struggle to sell their project to players and will look to keep hold of Isak over Guimaraes. They can now be discounted. Borussia Dortmund offer a wildcard solution. Chelsea have spoken with his agent when they had a preferred option, do not discount them as he is now likely their first choice. Arsenal have met with his agent but he appears to only be second choice for them still. Milan offer an option as a potential Giroud replacement and they are looking at adding two strikers this coming summer, but they are resigned to not signing Sesko and are looking to another now. A option for Manchester United who need to replace Anthony Martial this summer - but Sesko will not move to simply be cover so that needs to be clarified. Does not want to move to Saudi Arabia but is on Michael Emenalo's list. The release clause will be be €65M until June 30 after which his cost will go up - but RBL want an answer before the Euros begin so they can secure their preferred replacement. Chelsea would look to a deal on the cusp of the year end with the fee not paid before July 1 unless they are pushed.
There is nothing stopping Arsenal making an offer for Toney.}
21 May 2024 10:19:50
Hello Ed
Have Arsenal shown a interest in Brian Brobbey of Ajax
Much appreciate your insight.
{Ed002's Note - Brian Brobbey (S) Everton interest remains but so does their financial plight. Manchester United interest will go with ten Hag. A wildcard would be Arsenal. Ajax will not want to sell.}
1.) 21 May 2024 13:31:38
Cheers Ed
Much appreciated.

2 pts from 12 not good is it people whichever way you dress it up
Badly badly need a striker.
Played reasonable well today but threw away a lead again.
Really thought we would come back with a big win. No way giving up the ghost yet because its more a competitive league where i think the winning points total will be less than previous seasons.
One sobering thought though if we do buy a striker in January but we follow our usual faffing about do it on the last day of the window, we will play at least 17 games before we sign one if we do that is. Enjoy the wonderful exhilarating stupendous international break everyone
COYG.
1.) 11 Nov 2024 11:15:46
It’s not over yet but I think not bringing a no. 9 in during the summer was a huge mistake.
Nothing against Kai because he should start there but having no alternative is really poor at a club our size.
08 Nov 2024 08:27:27
Just read earlier post by G62 about Mals Dad.
So sorry to hear your Dad is not to good Mal mate.
Much love and support to you, Dad and your family Mal mate??❤️❤️.

Thanks dg n gabi.
07 Nov 2024 10:25:33
Not sure what Mikel is getting at over the penalty decision. If that was a Inter player instead of Merino i would want a penalty all day long.
Great to see Ode back.
Hope Mikel is brave enough to start Nanweri on Sunday.
1.) 07 Nov 2024 13:08:56
Highbury, I'm hoping you're in the minority because no way was that a pen for me. Ball hits attacker's foot, then hits Merino's foot, then hits his hand. And he's standing on one leg so his arm is where it's expected to be.
Having said that, that was the only time I remember him having the ball at his feet. Brought nothing, gave us nothing, on the night. Well, except for that dodgy pen.
2.) 07 Nov 2024 14:45:31
I am a bit old fashioned tbh Sharpie mate, ball is going towards goal and its been stopped with a hand so its a penalty.
Quite agree with you on your previous post concerning our tactics and the slow tempo of our play, its like watching late wenger tactics of pass the ball to deatb.
3.) 07 Nov 2024 17:46:14
Was it not this time last year that we went on a break and came back rejuvenated for me all season we have looked off the pace but I can understand and appreciate hopefully no more injuries and a little rest is all we need to fire us back into it.
4.) 08 Nov 2024 06:50:46
There is nothing old fashioned about rules. rules are rules. It's never a pen as the new rules state.
Another one when their keeper went UFC on Merino how on earth the ref gave us a corner when it's obviously either a pen or a goal kick.
I can't blame our boys on losing the game, I think they did well and inter defended extremely well.
5.) 08 Nov 2024 08:04:46
Your entitled to your opinion Moe mate but if that had been a Inter player i would be screaming from the rooftops for a penalty.
6.) 08 Nov 2024 16:36:55
I completely understand your pointe mate, I'm talking about the rules of the game that's all.
7.) 08 Nov 2024 17:23:58
Understood Moe mate
The rules are getting so so complicated nowadays especially var and handball decisions.
I read the next day after the Inter game that Uefa interpret the handball guidelines different to the prem.
That's all you need .
Take care Moe mate.
8.) 11 Nov 2024 17:09:48
As Liverpool fan not here to gloat but you are having what we had after coming close to city to win the prem . I think your players are drained like ours were. they suffred mental exaustion as i think your lads are and it cost us big time so give your lads some space .
05 Nov 2024 20:26:28
Deckers out of tomorrow night's game.
31 Oct 2024 07:02:34
How good is Nanweri
So so comfortable on the ball.
1.) 31 Oct 2024 08:55:31
Gotta love this kid seems to have it all. But remember he's 17 don't overplay him!
2.) 31 Oct 2024 09:13:35
Good point Saga mate.
3.) 31 Oct 2024 09:15:49
Saga! Where have you been? Hope all's well with you mate.
4.) 31 Oct 2024 10:16:09
Still on for the quadruple ?.
5.) 01 Nov 2024 14:03:29
Hi Mr Sharp. Been a tough few months, but some good news recently my cancer has leveled off for 2 months my daily pill has been dropped and slowly coming off the steroids, which were causing real aggravation so all in all looking a lot better for the 1st time in 2 yrs. Not out of the woods yet but the trees ain't so big. How are you and yours mate all good I hope.
30 Aug 2024 21:12:27
Apparently so Bristow mate.
23 Aug 2024 19:46:09
Yes it did Sally
Hope he returns to us, think there is a very good footballer in there somewhere.
09 Jul 2024 09:18:07
Hello Stevie mate, no i haven't seen anything. We all due respect to Eddie i could not see Barcelona showing any interest in him.
08 Jul 2024 06:25:11
Both wrong, its Stefan Malz or Alberto Mendez.
20 Jun 2024 19:39:44
Cheers Sammy mate ??.
27 Nov 2024 09:21:42
Absolutely Mal mate.
Taking the game to them.
Keeping possession, high tempo
Fantastic performance.
23 Nov 2024 17:46:53
Hello Mal mate.
It was a good win wasn't it
That Nanweri is a class act isn't he.
Lets hope we can build on that performance.
21 Nov 2024 18:08:09
All good here Ed mate
Hope this team of ours comes out fighting after international break ??.
{Ed014's Note - good to hear mate and it definitely all starts on Saturday.
Time to step up and get back to the quality football of last season.
21 Nov 2024 16:38:35
Hello Ed mate, so sorry about putting your number instead of Ed2 when i done his tribute last Saturday. Did not realise until i sent the post, must have had a senior moment.
Hope everything is good with you mate.
{Ed014's Note - ah mate, don’t worry at all it was no problem.
Yes all good thanks, how about you?
19 Nov 2024 17:49:08
That would be great Ed a tribute page. Hope we can post again on it has i made a complete hash of the first tribute.
{Ed001's Note - it doesn't matter, none of us can ever find the right words in situations like this mate. The only thing that matters is what you meant.}
