Arsenal Rumours Mobile

Just reading Arteta may be willing to let Ramsdale go if he asks for a transfer. For 50m!

I reckon this could be 1 of 3 things:.

1. Its male cow's waste.

2. He values him so highly he doesn't want him to go and so is pricing him out of the market.

3. He thinks he can get that for him as there are rumours linking him with other PL clubs.

Do you have any info please Ed002? You oreviously said Ramdale was biding his tume, has that changed?

{Ed002's Note - Aaron Ramsdale (G) Ramsdale is stuck rather and needs to figure out his future with Arsenal. Wolves are very concerned about losing Sa and are keen to take Ramsdale to replace him.}

Thanks Ed.

I can't think of anyone (unless they are 18 or 38) in his position who would stay. I would expect him to leave for no less than £30m.

01 Dec 2023 10:11:43
if I remember correctly he signed a new 5 years deal at the end of last season so we will be in a strong position to command that sort of fee for him.

he still has over half a season to fight for his place, I am a big Ramsdale fan, but I do feel he needs to put up a bit of a fight, he came in as a no 2 and saw no problem challenging the no.1.

we are 13 games into a prem season and people seem to be telling him to wave the white flag and move on. are we going to suggest that if he became England's no,1 he should change the country if a new keeper comes along and challenges him?

he is a good keeper, but he is not a keeper that is ever going to be at a top club without the question if he can be upgraded, so if he wants to play for the top top teams then that is something he is going to have to get used to. or he goes to a Wolves and has a good career without playing at the very top IMO.

01 Dec 2023 20:15:06
But if the manager has promoted someone above you and clearly prefers him to you, how can you possibly fight for a place?

It certainly appears that MA wants Raya as his number one.

Hi Ed002,

Do you think Arsenal have a good chance of getting Douglas Luiz in the Jan window?

{Ed002's Note - I rather doubt it would be easy to complete a transfer in January but Arsenal have turned attention back to him. They would need to make a decision whether to wait for the summer and try or look again at others they have shown an interest in or scouted.}

13 Nov 2023 17:38:58
Rumour doing the round that Arsenal could offer ESR in a swap deal for Douglas Luiz.

ESR not really getting games with us.

13 Nov 2023 20:14:27
Shame if true. ESR is a better player than Havertz, and could do a good job in there if given the chance.

16 Nov 2023 14:01:09
I am a big ESR fan, but I am starting to wonder if he is going to another Jack Wilshire (also a player that I loved in an Arsenal shirt)

he seems to have never really had a sustained season without an injury and when you consider that he was ahead in his time scale of first team than Saka was and how far apart their careers look now I am for the first time starting to wonder if we would be better off moving on From ESR.

Which I really dislike saying out loud.

07 Nov 2023 21:14:01
Could it be true - " Arsenal are reportedly considering selling Kai Havertz for €40 million, with Real Madrid being an option if they return with an interest. "

Me, I'd keep him as long as we can sign the players we really need. He was purchased to play a role that was too big for him. He could still have a role to play but we must address the obvious first.

If we had CM, CF and decent fast winger then keep him. If the 40m is stopping that as well as his ridiculous wage ( hopefully HR ran the negotiator thru a disciplinary for. ) then sell sell sell.

13 Nov 2023 08:16:15
Morning Ed002, would you have any insight as to whether Arsenal are looking to sell Havertz in January?

{Ed002's Note - No, they are not looking to do taht.}

13 Nov 2023 12:44:38
Thanks Ed,

18 Nov 2023 17:39:47
Just curious here, what role do you guys actually think he was brought in for? Back up for Ode? Replacement for Xhaka? Always thought of rice doing that role myself, that's when TP is fit holding the line anways, who knows, the guys looked p*ss poor wherever he's played.

19 Nov 2023 16:03:35
I'm guessing to replace Xhaka and/ or Partey Bruce.

06 Nov 2023 10:33:17
Question for ed002 please.

Are Arsenal showing any interest in Vlahovic at the moment Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Dusan Vlahovic (S) Only joined in January 2022 but financial issues that Juventus now have and goalscoring problems will determine that he is sold in the summer – but they will hold out for €70M. Regardless of his loss of form, there will be a lot of interest if he is and his agent has approached Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG. Real Madrid are also keen but, like Chelsea, have preferred targets. Chelsea were open to an exchange of players last summer but right now there is no push as his wage demands are seen as excessive and they will look to other targets first. PSG have him as a possible Mbappe replacement - but not first choice - but don't lose sight of them. As a wildcard, Arsenal may rekindle interest but would likely want to include players in any deal. Juventus have already drawn up a list of potential replacements and are working on those.}

06 Nov 2023 19:14:46
Hi ed, any interest you know of evan Ferguson?

{Ed002's Note - Evan Ferguson (S) Maybe an offer from Newcastle will eventually happen but they have other targets. Spurs are trying to offer a structured way forward for the player who needs to stay where he is for a while. Brighton offered a new contract which places him out of bounds for some years whilst the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea look on.}

06 Nov 2023 20:09:37
Thanks as always ed002.

07 Nov 2023 23:26:46
Thanks ed!

28 Oct 2023 12:40:32
Ed 02 is there any chance you could tell us any cm players Arsenal are looking at ahead of January please? Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Arsenal looking to any CM in January. I expect a DM to play alongside Rice might happen but priority will remain RW and S I would think.}

28 Oct 2023 18:11:12
Which dms are we looking at Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I would say Andre Trindade (DM), then Martin Zubimendi (CM/DM) and Douglas Luiz (CM/DM) as a fallback - it depends on departures.}

Question for ed002 please.
Would you know if Ramsdale is looking for a move away from Arsenal please.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect he will see how it goes with opportunities.}

23 Oct 2023 20:04:46
Thanks Ed, as ever.

23 Oct 2023 15:08:24
Hi Ed02,

Are Arsenal still interested in Douglas Luiz?

{Ed002's Note - I doubt it - they have moved on.}

12 Oct 2023 15:23:32
Ed02, if you have the time, I have a question about club ownership. So, a person can't own more than one football club in the same league. How does that work for teams that are legible for the same competitions, like Europa League, Champions league, etc?

{Ed002's Note - The rukes are related to majority ownership, so owning a small percentage is not an issue. For situations whener owners like the City Group own several sides, those with the lowest co-efficients will be excluded. For clubs like RBL and RBS the ownership structure was changed to accommodate them.}

14 Oct 2023 01:55:33
Thanks ed, so for example if Girona and city qualify for the CL, would Girona be excluded and if they are, would they drop to the Europa League or be totally excluded?

{Ed002's Note - The City Football Group do not have majority ownership of Girona.}

15 Sep 2023 12:19:22
Hi ed002, what are your thoughts with vinai leaving Arsenal? Do you have any recommendations on who Arsenal should look at to replace him? Do you know who Arsenal are loooking at? Loaded questions, really just want your thoughts on it please. Cheers!

{Ed002's Note - He is simply an administrator, he is not involved directly with the footballing side of the game.}

17 Sep 2023 14:31:50
Cheers!

Can i ask if Arsenal are scouting/ have interest in Evan Ferguson.

seems like a few others have interest in him, including chelsea.

is he a likely target in 2024?

{Ed002's Note - Not for Arsenal.}

06 Sep 2023 14:17:32
Are we interested in Ivan Toney Edoo2.

{Ed002's Note - Possibly.}

07 Sep 2023 19:37:43
Bryan Mbeumo Was definitely looked at.
