hello ( first time poster here ) there's been news that arsene wenger may return to the club at some capacity. any truth to the news?
thank you for your time. cheers.

{Ed002's Note - He will not be breaking his contract for the job he already has. In the future perhaps as a club ambassador.}

Hi Ed is there any chance Overmars is interested in Edu's job?

{Ed002's Note - Edu’s job is not available and overmars comes as a package deal.}

24 Nov 2021 11:15:53
Thanks Ed.

26 Nov 2021 13:35:06
By package do you mean Erik ten Hag Ed? Or more backroom staff?

{Ed002's Note - No. Edwin VDP Sar.}

Hello Ed002, hope you're well.

With the January transfer window approaching. Would be able to tell us the players Arsenal are looking at?

With incomings maybe limited to only necessities, which players would we be wanting to let go?

Thanks as always.

{Ed002's Note - It will depend on departures with plenty of players available in January or the summer. Arsenal need to move on the remaining unhappy players and sell to balance the books. Arsenal will need to focus on a striker for the summer - perhaps two. Tough times will continue. Outgoings will drive everything:

Bernd Leno (G) will be sold to raise funds.
Calum Chambers (RB) a decision point of new contract or another Free Agent.
Sead Kolasinac (LB) Will leave as a Free Agent if he cannot be sold in released in January. Available but Lazio and Schalke interest may have waned.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (CB) Loan to permanent with Stuttgart.
William Saliba (CB) Marseille want a permanent deal. Player wants out.
Matteo Guendouzi (DM/CM) loan to permanent with Marseille. Player wants out.
Mohamed Elneny (DM) another Free Agent. Will be allowed to move on in January.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles (RM/RWB) looking for more playing time. Arsenal will try to keep him.
Bukayo Saka (LM/LW) Atletico have enquired after his availability and Juventus have have declared an interest. Arsenal want to keep him.
Nicolas Pepe (W) Not really working out. Arsenal will struggle to find a buyer but could look to a loan with an option to buy deal with Crystal Palace looking for a RW.
Alexandre Lacazette (S) I expect him to leave as a Free Agent. It has been proving difficult to find interested potential buyers and may well run down his contract. Offered to Inter and Sevilla.
Eddie Nketiah (S) Will look to other options in the summer. Bayer Leverkusen, Brentford and West Ham might provide one, Leeds perhaps another. Injury made a move difficult last summer. a decision point of new contract or another Free Agent.
Folarin Balogun (S) is frustrated at the lack of opportunities at Arsenal and his "agent" is again offering him around with interest from West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen.

AMN I’d try to keep as well as Lacca

Saka, the ground would be burnt to the ground if we sold him

Pepe - no doubt Lille will take him back ………. for 5 million.

13 Nov 2021 13:08:15
Hi Eds, is Pepe on the radar to he sold please?

{Ed002's Note - Nicolas Pepe (W) Not really working out. Arsenal will sell and be lucky to get back a third of the money they spent on him. Agent will offer him around.}

13 Nov 2021 14:22:30
Thanks Ed, much appreciated. Have a nice weekend :)

{Ed002's Note - And you.}

16 Nov 2021 15:20:27
Send him back to Lille for Jonathan David!

17 Nov 2021 19:36:45
Wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle comes in for him when everyone else turns down their blood money.

23 Nov 2021 09:25:17
Lucky if we get 30 million for him

Very lucky.

Hi Ed,

I'm unsure on the ins and outs of his loan deal to Marseille but is there any chance that Guendouzi stays with us next season? or is his deal with Marseille an obligation to buy? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Guendouzi won't be returning to Arsenal. Marseille has an obligation to buy the player when a couple of conditions has been met. They may well the have the opportunity to sell him on immediately, but are not looking to do that.}

Hello ed02 . can you us updates about our midfield targets in January?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Arsenal looking to any additional midfield players in January unless Mohamed Elneny or Ainsley Maitland-Niles were to leave. ME is out of contract in the summer.}

05 Nov 2021 16:26:19
Hi Ed,

Any truth to the story of a Dusan deal?

{Ed002's Note - Fiorentina have agreed a price with a number of clubs but not yet where the player wants to move to.}

05 Nov 2021 18:35:30
Thanks Ed.

05 Nov 2021 17:42:10
are they spurs, man utd and juve ed?

{Ed002's Note - Dusan Vlahovic (S) Fiorentina eventually managed to hang on to the player regardless of the interest of Manchester City and Atletico Madrid and now want a new contract. However, Milan see the player as an Ibrahimovic back up and possible replacement - Spurs had the same view in respect of Kane - but they have now stepped back. Dortmund see him as a Haaland replacement. Roma, Juventus and Atletico Madrid offer options which would see him as a starter. The most attractive of these is Juventus. Chelsea are still a striker short and may put a proposal to Fiorentina. Inter want the future of Lautaro Martinez resolved else they will also look to him and Manchester City should not be discounted. Manchester United have had him watched but are a far from attractive option.
Manchester City approached Fiorentina and were told that the asking price will be set above €50M which came as a surprise and it would need to be a single cash payment but I rather doubt that would tempt them to sell now. Arsenal have told Fiorentina they will match the asking price3 but the player may not be interested. The player is happy to stay this year and Fiorentina want a lengthy contract extension but has made it clear he wants to move to Juventus. There is a compelling case for him to stay where he is for at least this year and perhaps sees what happens in Munich or Turin.}

thanks for the detailed reply ed.

05 Nov 2021 16:25:30
Hi Ed, are arsenal looking to sign the Fiorentina Striker Vhalovic?

{Ed002's Note - one of a umber of clubs.}
