Ed, 'IF' Allergi does become Arsenals manager this summer, would it have an impact on what Sanchez does? Surely if Wenger does decide to move on, the board would let the next manager decide the fate of our big stars. I would assume Allergi is a fan of Sanchez being he's been link with Juventus for quite some time even if the Juva board have the say of who comes and goes, surely the manager has some input.
{Ed002's Note - I think because the fans have turned the players will have priorities which include the options available.}

Hey Eds, is there any interest in Reus or Gotze? Both young and talented. I feel arsenal could benefit from having an out and out winger.
{Ed002's Note - Try the European pages where this has been answered.}

I'm hearing a lot about Fabregas. Is there any chance of a return to Arsenal?
{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer questions with "any chance" in.}
1.) Hopefully not. He walked out on us, when he had 3 years left on his contract and was captain. The Barca fans have turned against him, as the team has to be modified to fit him in and he lacks pace. We have plenty of players in his position and are more in need of better defensive midfield options, such as Bender & M'Vila, who could replace the slow duo of Arteta & Flamini.
2.) You realise that this isn't Fifa? It really doesn't matter whether Cesc is "slow". He could be standing still and he would be class.
3.) You would take Mvia over Cesc? Madness. Bender is good and I would sign him but I would get Cesc in and ship of Cazorla myself.
4.) I don't think wenger is going to sell any players, only those that will walk.
we need depth and bringing in bender and josip drmic and hopefully cesc and a striker should be enough to go again next season.
5.) Chess - As a defensive midfield player sitting in front of the back four, of course I would take M'Vila instead of Fabregas. We have Ozil, Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Oxlade, Ramsey & Abu Diaby who can all play the Fabregas role. Possibly in some cases not as well, but we need to spend in other areas, as we look like needing a keeper, a right back, a centre back, a defensive midfield player & a striker.

We definitely need someone who can really pick out the killer balls. Too many times I'm screaming for our midfield to set someone free when they make a good run only for the ball to go sideways.
It's as if they don't seem brave enough or sure of their ability to try it. We've all seen Cesc and know that he can play those killer through balls. Older and wiser now and scoring more.
I would certainly add that to the mix. You can never have too many good ingrediants.

Hey Ed. What do you think the chances are of seeing Rooney and Fabregas playing for Arsenal next year. Personally can't see Arsenal paying Rooney's wages or seeing Barcelona off loading Fabreagas but can't stop thinking what if. {Ed007's Note - None.}

Hey Ed, hope all is well. Constant chatter about Sesko or Gyokeres. Sesko sounds good and watching his highlights, looks promising however I've also seen his not so clinical moments and he does remind me a lot of Nunez at Liverpool. The fact neither are over the line for the sake of 5-15 mil in a position we so desperately need filling tells me neither are 100% convincing options. Especially when you compare them to the target we can't get Isak. My question is does the whispers of Julian Alvarez have any weight or is it just paper talk? For me personally, he's who I'd go above and beyond for. Would be an expensive complicated signing however one with minimal risk who is still only 25 years old. Thoughts.
{Ed014's Note - I would have liked Alvarez but apparently his wife didn’t like living in the UK.
There’s been constant chatter about strikers and until we buy one the merry go round of links will continue

Ed totally appreciate its way too early to be talking transfers. With K De Bryne out of contract and Martin under performing since becoming Vegan, Any whispers of any interest big or small in De Bryne who is apparently open to staying in the PL? He is 33 and would want a hefty Salary I imagine.
{Ed014's Note - I just can’t see that happening mate, I also don’t think he really has a lot left in the tank, injuries are an issue too, let alone, as you say, the likely size of his wages.
I hadn’t realised Odegaard had become vegan, I looked at him in the training photos yesterday and he looked so gaunt.
He looked ill to be honest.

Hey Ed, apologies if this has all ready been asked. Nico Williams huge wages decent buy out clause. Are you aware of Arsenal having any interest?
And again apologies if this has been asked. Victor Osimhen. He could be an interesting and realistic target?
{Ed001's Note - interest, yes, but I would not expect anything in January.
Osimhen was asking for 400k a week from Chelsea in the summer, I very much doubt his attitude has impressed anyone looking at him.}

Hey Ed, I’m a big fan of Nkunku and he’s not playing much at Chelsea. I’ve seen him linked to Arsenal but u never know what’s true and what’s not. Heard anything and thoughts?
{Ed001's Note - he is unhappy with playing time, they might be forced to sell him, but it looks like it will be in the summer. That gives them time to persuade him to stay by him getting a bit more game time.}
18 Dec 2024 15:35:09
Hey Ed, Do you see us pushing for deals this January. Vlahovic as asked above is an interesting one but Arsenal may wish to wait til the summer to go Big on Isak who looks very much like an Arsenal kind of player. Whether Newcastle sell is a different story. Kudas is another interesting one who's got quality in the final 3rd. One name I'm not sure I've seen mentioned and I'm sure will trigger some Lols. Pogba? What a quality player he was a few years back. at 31 tho and not proven for a few years now. Could be too much of a gamble.
{Ed001's Note - I don't expect much to be done by anyone mate, not in January. The regulations are constricting teams from doing business, unless they offload players first. That is why Arteta is looking to blood youngsters. If they perform, then brilliant. But if they do not live up to expectations, they can be sold for a higher price due to having Prem experience - so win, win.}
