8m Euro for Bitello from Gremio is being reported. Apparently will be wrapped up this week. Never heard of him but I imagine Edu has talent scouts all over Brazillian football.
1.) 26 Jul 2023 13:03:33
I think ed002 said he wouldn't be eligible for a work permit. Has that changed, or will he be loaned out?
{Ed002's Note - Arsenal would either need to pay way over the odds, loan him out or apply for an exception to the Work Permit.}
2.) 26 Jul 2023 13:11:18
Thanks ed, so does transfer price have a bearing on obtaining a permit?
{Ed002's Note - And wages, both as a percentile.}
3.) 26 Jul 2023 13:20:38
Thanks.
4.) 26 Jul 2023 14:32:03
Didnt we do something similar with Martinelli [ not vodka ].
5.) 27 Jul 2023 00:29:09
Sparky I believe Gabi has an Italian passport and as such was exempt from the requirements.
15 Jul 2023 20:33:57
Apparently Edu isn't finished. Looking at Moussa Diaby!
1.) 15 Jul 2023 21:17:44
Is he any good sparky?
2.) 15 Jul 2023 21:52:51
Mal he’s small but like lightening, will be a good addition.
3.) 15 Jul 2023 22:22:56
as vodka said mate, rapid and very good.
4.) 15 Jul 2023 22:58:56
Thanks lads.
5.) 15 Jul 2023 23:44:14
Edoo2 do we have any interest in moussa Diaby?
{Ed002's Note - Moussa Diaby (LW/RW) Bayer Leverkusen were approached about the player by Borussia Dortmund last season but no more than that. They have no interest in selling unless a very significant offer of something like €70M were made and have rejected a significant offer from Aston Villa, who may return with another. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Real Madrid have sent scouts but each think the asking price too high. Was due to be replaced by Mykhaylo Mudryk last summer, but that never happened. Arsenal remain keen. A wildcard option may be a return to PSG. Newcastle are very interested but a move there would be a regression and I am sure being in the Champions League would be a consideration. Manchester United offer another wildcard solution. ASton Villa face an uphill battle to convince the player, but will keen trying.}

Any legs to this rumour (Moussa Diaby) , Ed002?
I checked and you mentioned interest in January, and the possibility of his summer availability.

I think Michael Olise from Palace wouldn’t be a bad call as a Saka cover tbh.
8.) 18 Jul 2023 16:43:27
Or the kid from Brighton thinks he’s Japanese, I think he would have been a better option than trossard, I’m not see all the fuss with trossard especially people saying he should start over gabs wasn’t he our top goal scorer?
{Ed077's Note - not only does Mitoma think he is Japanese but he's also actually Japanese ;-P}
9.) 18 Jul 2023 21:42:40
Ed 77 have you ever thought of being a comedian lol my bad spell check or the 11 pints in Cyprus to blame.
{Ed077's Note - here come the excuses?...}
15 Jul 2023 13:13:27
Declan Rice at Arsenal finalising the transfer, welcome to the mighty Arsenal Declan Rice.
COYG.
28 Jun 2023 16:48:05
Fabrizio Romano saying Rice deal is done, just finalising last details.
1.) 28 Jun 2023 19:40:47
Huge signing!
{Ed014's Note - have we signed Tielemens?
2.) 28 Jun 2023 19:58:08
Haha Ed! Thankfully we moved on to better things than that fat lad.
Where do you rank the Rice signing in the biggest signings in the clubs recent history? Must be up there with Campbell, Bergkamp, Ozil and Sanchez.
{Ed014's Note - thank god ?
If it really does happen then of course it will be huge mate and with the bulk of the team being the right age it could be the biggest in terms of what they could go on to achieve.
Want to see him in the shirt first though.
3.) 28 Jun 2023 20:27:39
Massive signing when it happens! Still fat shaming Ed but Maddison to Spuds a win win eh? COYG Havertz Rice Tiiiimberrrrrr and Lavia - we couldn`t could we?
{Ed014's Note - ?? it was a double whammy for me today with him and Maddison moving elsewhere.
It would be a pretty impressive window that’s for sure mate.
4.) 28 Jun 2023 20:33:14
WHU want 100,000,000 over 18 months plus 5m add ons.
{Ed014's Note - not sure about the 5 mil add on’s sparky, what for? ?
5.) 28 Jun 2023 20:54:29
Come on 14, didn't you hear "Man City don't want to be in a bidding war with Arsenal" ?
Think we'll have a massive influence.
Arteta Build Back Arsenal!
{Ed014's Note - who said that, I don’t believe a word of it! ?
21 Jun 2023 16:14:51
Reports saying Havertz deal is done, medical booked.
1.) 21 Jun 2023 17:14:58
yep looks like on thet BBC news reel looks a done deal 65mill plus add ons. No too convinced myself with Havertz tbh but he can play a number of forward positions so can see the appeal there, let's hope he turns out a good buy.

Fantastic performance aside, just found out that VAR did indeed look at Jackson's challenge on Tommy and saw nothing wrong with it. If that clownshow isn't kicked out of the nearest window soon it will make the league a laughing stock.
23 Apr 2024 22:02:27
What a performance, can't say much else, COYG.
{Ed025's Note - no need to say anything else sparky...it was excellent mate..
22 Apr 2024 09:12:43
I think a Group Hug is needed ed14.
{Ed014's Note - it is beginning so seem that way Sparky, that's as long as I’m not next to Sharpie though! ?
Sussex will have a field day too selling us all watches! ?
1.) 22 Apr 2024 09:54:55
I think we should meet up for a right session.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 09:57:02
I’ll have a hug off 14.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 14:07:23
I'm not touching any of you shifty feckers!
4.) 22 Apr 2024 15:53:32
How very dare you 14! I`ll have you know my Rolecks are top quality . Can we drop this weirdness now? In amongst this fighting a title race has broken out! Next two games crucial - Palmer may not play and Sunday we can enjoy St Spursy Day at their shiny new toilet COYG I`m confident in the lads, felt in control v Wolves as it should have been.
{Ed014's Note - me stop the weirdness says he who sent the same post in twice! ?
Well accept you missed of this one the struggle you’re having in Florida with it only being 27 degrees! ☀️☀️?
If I told you a time for the hug you’d miss it as ya Rolecks is about 2hrs behind real time!
5.) 22 Apr 2024 16:13:48
??? all true! I meant the posting weirdness - surely we all choose to follow the Arsenal in our different ways and that’s fine by me! Right it’s 11 o clock here which means it’s probably 1 o clock where’s my Modelo? Toodlepip COYG ( hope much better half all good 14 )
17 Apr 2024 22:01:39
Gave it a good go but was always going to be a tough ask. Sometimes you just have to take the loss and move on.
COYG.
{Ed014's Note - agree mate and all or nothing in the league now
1.) 17 Apr 2024 22:05:09
Hopefully Kroenke being there sees the glaring need for a proper striker 14, hope you andmrs14 are well.
{Ed014's Note - I’m sure he knows we need one mate and all good with us mate and hopefully the same with you and yours mate.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 22:09:38
Gave it everything, but let's get behind the team for a massive game against Wolves
COYG❤️❤️❤️❤️.
3.) 17 Apr 2024 22:11:32
Hi guy’s
This is still a very young team. First time in the cl and we reach the quarterfinals
Ten years ago we would of gotten beaten 9-1
I for one am proud of the boys
You ok 14?
{Ed014's Note - very proud mate, all steps in their learning curve and the boys will only get better.
All good thanks mate
4.) 17 Apr 2024 22:12:12
In case of Arsenal that's always the case. Take the loss and move on cause this club can't win anything. At the end of the day we are at least competing and that is the only thing we can take. But year after year bottling it whenever it matters is not good enough.
{Ed014's Note - don’t agree with the bottling part mate but each to their own.
5.) 17 Apr 2024 22:13:45
We have been outdone tactically a few times recently. Teams are happy making center compact and they are coming up with ways to diffuse our press as well. On the ball we're lacking cutting edge. Still all to play for in the league and it should be clear where we need to improve for next season.
6.) 17 Apr 2024 22:21:09
Tonight showed the depth of our squads needs improving.
Switched over to see City being able to bring on Doku and Alvarez for Grealish and Haaland.
7.) 17 Apr 2024 22:22:29
No sparky we did not give it a good go it was such a flat performance we defended quite well but created nothing!
8.) 17 Apr 2024 22:25:17
Are we still 4th place and CL last 16 happy? Clearly not any more
Are we doing all we can to be the best we can possibly be? I'd say yes we clearly we are
Has this team peaked yet? Personally I don't think it has.
Disappointed to go out but extremely happy with how far much the team and club have progressed in the last couple of seasons.
Up The Arsenal, I've no complaints whatsoever ????.
9.) 17 Apr 2024 22:51:21
If any everyone who doesn't fulfil your wishes is a bottler then your life must be absolutely full of disappointment at everyone but yourself.
Makes you think doesn't it?
10.) 17 Apr 2024 23:07:12
No need for psychoanalysis gunner62 mate. Competing for the title for 2 years in a row is not bad. Certainly better then not playing Champions league or finishing 7th or 8th in the league. But losing whenever the pressure is on to finish the job is a definition of bottling it whether you like it or not.
11.) 18 Apr 2024 01:24:40
I doubt we bottled anything in the champions league. Bayern maybe they are having a bad season but they are experienced more then enough to know how to deal with this type of pressure. Same as Madrid mate.
They lads they lack the CL experience and now they got it.
As for the league I don't believe we are out of it just yet. So no need to cry and talk down the team no the manager just yet.
12.) 18 Apr 2024 05:40:43
Not sure why this "Bottlers" tag is aimed at Arsenal? Getting beat by City for the league last year hurt like hell but it wasnt "Bottling" That is what happens when you come up against a side who have a Sub bench that would be most teams 1st team. Our team ran out of puff towards the end of the season as we simply don't have the squad to bring £100m players off of the bench, We don't have that luxury, we stuck to the FFP for the last 15 years unlike others.
If you honestly think we should be able to go into the Champions League 1/ 4 finals and blow teams away you need a reality check or maybe Arsenal Football Club isn't for you
COYG.
{Ed014's Note - it’s a crazy tag from our own supporters, I expect from the other fans.
My assumption must be that Liverpool must be bottlers for not beating City to more titles and City must be bottlers for losing last night.
Maybe Burnley are bottlers for getting relegated.
There is so much to be positive about!
But hey if it allows him to cope with a loss that’s his way. ?♂️?♂️
13.) 18 Apr 2024 07:25:51
Last night I think we needed an out and out striker seemed like we didn’t really attack with the speed we normally do, bgdgooner I’ve noticed that if 62 doesn’t like somthing he comes back with his infamous greeting card essays that most of the time make no sence, hopefully big Stan will notice we need a world class striker so I’m hoping he actually knows anything about football so he buys one.
14.) 18 Apr 2024 09:05:25
Hello Dublin mate, I think 30 goal a season striker is top of the shopping list, who that is?
Think a left back is on the list as well.
Hopefully we can get 3pts against Wolves this Saturday
COYG ❤️ ❤️.
15.) 18 Apr 2024 10:00:24
I’d like the guy from sporting bill, he’s notched 50 plus goals and assists he’s also done it in the championship which is a tough league, also what I like about him if he’s in the box he won’t try any fancy passes he just wants to score, I’d love him in an arsenal shirt.
16.) 18 Apr 2024 10:21:06
Is that the former Coventry player?
17.) 18 Apr 2024 10:27:30
Yes sparky.
18.) 18 Apr 2024 11:51:48
Gyokeres is his name I think.
Doing the business at Sporting Lisbon.
I had a cousin who lived in Coventry and followed the Sky Blues, this fella was highly thought of up there
Perhaps he is the one for us Dublin and Sparky.
19.) 18 Apr 2024 18:22:30
Dublin, I thought you threw the towel in at the weekend when you declared our player's were bottlers nd ourseason was over?
20.) 19 Apr 2024 13:05:18
There you go again gunner 62 thinking you know who people are and what they think, stick to greeting cards you have no clue who I am what I do or what I think so I suggest you keep your snide remarks to yourself! I think the players bottled the game the weekend yes correct but I’ve never once said I want them to lose there job! Unlike you, like I said I don’t want to have a debate with you because there is always the same outcome when people have a debate with you! I’ve seen it on here on many occasions like I’ve said I’ve been in the shadows for 7 years reading this site and I know what your capable of and what you try and do to people when your don’t like what they say, let’s just leave it there now please as I’m enjoying this site and would like to stay a member.
21.) 19 Apr 2024 13:14:10
And can I please ask you again to stop putting words into my mouth please 62, I don’t know why you keep doing that is it to make me look bad or you just genuinely do it so members and Ed’s will have a go! Only you know the answer to that and I think I won’t be replying to any more of your comments because I know what your doing and it’s pathetic. Like I’ve said you have previous for this, and I know what is coming next.
09 Apr 2024 22:00:16
Looked nervy at times but a great performance overall, how that wasnt a red for big nose Harry i don't know.
1.) 10 Apr 2024 07:35:02
My thoughts exactly. He knew Gabriel was there. The game still doesn't respect head injuries enough in my opinion.
26 Jul 2023 14:32:03
Didnt we do something similar with Martinelli [ not vodka ].
15 Jul 2023 22:22:56
as vodka said mate, rapid and very good.
28 Jun 2023 20:33:14
WHU want 100,000,000 over 18 months plus 5m add ons.
{Ed014's Note - not sure about the 5 mil add on’s sparky, what for? ?
21 Jun 2023 20:20:02
Hermes with my xmas presents probably.
31 Jan 2023 12:32:40
The Boot Room matey looks like they were way off anyway lol.
{Ed014's Note - if we’re buying Jorginho that I think we can say with certainty that Caicedo isn’t coming.
24 Apr 2024 08:13:45
Absolutely mate.
23 Apr 2024 12:16:14
I have a feeling this will be a tougher game than we give chelski credit for. If we play the way we did against Villa I will be watching from behind the sofa!
22 Apr 2024 06:43:28
All I keep hearing is "Let It Go, Let It Go " thought Frozen was on!
:)
21 Apr 2024 18:53:45
We are one striker away from a very good 1st 11, yes we need some better quality backups but we are nearly there. Some people will moan regardless, we just have to accept that.
18 Apr 2024 10:21:06
Is that the former Coventry player?
