Arsenal Rumours Mobile

Who’s this bloody victor osimhen we are after now it’s a new one every day any idea Ed’s on this one.

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath. Napoli has no interest in selling and there are far more attractive options available if he were to be sold.}

27 Jan 2022 13:49:20
Thanks ed.

27 Jan 2022 13:50:20
Is there any striker we could actually sign Ed that you know of, the only one I think could happen is jovic.

{Ed002's Note - Asenal should not be looking to buy for the sake of it.}

27 Jan 2022 11:10:16
Hey Ed, anything new on auba, leno, Elneny and Pepe? Any chance one of them leaving in the next couple of days? As you mentioned Arsenal have to sell until summer or they could face punishements so i'm curious if they are able to raise some funds through sales and not just terminate contracts or loan players without options/ Obligation clauses.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal continue to exile Aubameyangadingdong for now; Leno was to be sold to raise funds but the club lost out on his replacement. Miffe d and wants out - a loan may yet be possible. for no Arsenal have to persist with Pepe; Elneny will be allowed to move on in January with Fenerbahce and Galatasary keen.

Arsenal cannot terminate contracts easily and all loans do is save some or all of the wages and bring in a small loan fee.}

Thanks a lot Ed!

26 Jan 2022 21:41:32
Are Arsenal considering Douglas Luiz?

{Ed002's Note - They have an interest.}

26 Jan 2022 22:29:18
Thanks Ed.

27 Jan 2022 09:45:30
Thank you.

26 Jan 2022 16:44:39
Hey Edoo2, do you have any good news for us regarding transfers?

{Ed002's Note - Only inasamuch as they may just be starting to figure out the the structure is never going to work with Edu.}

26 Jan 2022 20:24:04
Well if Edu goes this window, I’ll take that.

26 Jan 2022 20:39:03
Happy days! Only took a few years!

26 Jan 2022 20:14:12
Well that's good news! What was the final straw?

26 Jan 2022 12:39:42
Hi Ed002,
Thanks for all the info and insight you provide. Are you able to offer any info on what's happening with Bruno Guimeres. Are we interested? Seems a deal has been struck with Newcastle ad struggling to understand why we aren't looking to sign him.

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained before Arsenal has no interest in him. Lyon, like many French clubs, were hit hard by the loss of broadcast revenue and pandemic and like others are looking to sell players to raise funds. Newcastle have offered a solution that subject to a contract clause should see him make the move.}

26 Jan 2022 17:06:55
We can't be questioning the club or getting disappointed every time the club don't sign a player we fans like, it wouldn't be possible to sign them all. We just have to wait to see who they sign or not and them praise or critic after.

It's there day job and they have got more info on players than we do.

26 Jan 2022 17:45:44
Sorry yard mate but that’s rubbish. We needed a cm in the summer and stuck with Xhaka when he’s clearly not good enough. We let maitlan-Niles leave on the first week of January when Partey and elneny have afcons, xhaka a liability and lokonga still learning his trade. The club are run so poorly and all fans need to realise this.

26 Jan 2022 19:20:43
That is a fair point DG, but that doesn’t make Bruno Guimeres the correct replacement either. We all want the liability that is Xhaka shipped out, but as Partey has proved, just because you look good in another league doesn’t mean you will cut it in the premiership, even if you come in for serious money. So for me, yes I do want a replacement, but not from Europe. I want someone who is already playing well in the premiership, and that for me leads to Bissouma, or Ward-Prowse. Let’s leave Lyon and Newcastle to their business, they both deserve all they get.

26 Jan 2022 19:41:47
I’m afraid Dags is right, we knew what was coming up and we all know that Xhaka is a HUGE liability, blames lies firmly at the clubs door

Short sightedness at its best.

26 Jan 2022 20:01:48
I understand your point DG but I should actually stress is that we shouldn’t get too worked up over it. Every fan have a player or two they would like to see in the but we can’t have them all.

Of course I was expecting a midfielder at least in this window not because of loan or AFCON but because I haven’t though we were there.

We can still make top 4 if we use the squad wise, there’s nothing else to play.

25 Jan 2022 17:16:08
Now that vlahovic is gone. What potential names are they looking at? I see rumours surrounding isak but surely same issue as vlahovic, can’t stump up the funds. Then there’s talk surrounding jovic who has been a complete failure at Madrid. I really don’t want them going to DCL. I really have no hope they’re going to strengthen the squad this January. Likely means another year without Europe as a result. What do Ed think?

{Ed002's Note - Realistic if the efforts had been made for Isak something may have been possible - I rather doubt it now and knowing of interest of others for the summer it seems unlikely he ould be interested. Cabral is no longer an option. Another blown opportunity. Jonathan David is a potential option for the summer but other clubs with a higher profile will push - not a January option. Belotti will likely head elsewhere. Moussa Dembele, Ivan Toneyand Darwin Nunez will no longer be January options. Luka Jovic could be a short-term loan option to get the club through to the summer.}

25 Jan 2022 21:38:07
Remember, Isak is Luka Jovic now before his big money move. It just hasn't worked for him that's all. It doesn't mean he wouldn't be success for us. I'd much rather us sign him then risk 70m on Isak or something similar on DCL.

26 Jan 2022 15:11:32
Hi Ed002. A shame about Cabral, I agree a blown opportunity. Ironically it looks like he's going to Fiorentina to replace the striker we couldn't even get in the first place. I'd like to ask about another name from your potential targets list - Paul Onuachu. You mentioned Arsenal had interest last summer but it wasn't clear if it remains. Anything new with him? Thanks again for all your insight, it's greatly appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - He is no longer of interest.}

25 Jan 2022 14:36:01
Ed's I know you have given who our transfer targets are and the information is greatly appreciated, can I ask if you have any info on how many arsenals would be trying ideally to get through the door in Jan?

I felt we were a bit light in the center of the park before we let AMN go so I am hoping for 2 Central Midfielders and a Striker.

Melo and Gigi seemed to be gathering pace across a lot of the media outlets, do you believe we could be looking to bring in more than 1 central mid?

{Ed002's Note - It should be able to complete the Arthur Melo loan if the club will agree an obligation to buy, else they will need to look to the other options they have. I would not expect two strikers in January but there will be a push to add one, pemanent or loan.}

25 Jan 2022 15:54:39
Thanks Ed002. Much appreciated.

25 Jan 2022 21:54:46
Cheers Ed.

24 Jan 2022 12:43:39
It seems that we reached a agreement to sign Arthur Melo on a loan basis
If the Eds have dealt with this I apologize. Barcelona and Juve both have sold him on. I read on his Wiki page he was criticized at Barcelona by Suarez and Valverde for his positionial play and his reluctance to play the ball forward. I don't know if Juve are selling him to raise funds or he just not fit into Allegris future plans.
Is he a good fit for Arsenal.
Views of the Eds and posters welcome.

{Ed002's Note - Try searching.}

24 Jan 2022 13:38:41
Ed002's Note - Arthur Melo (CM/ DM) Available - has not worked out in Europe. Barcelona skinned Juventus of Pjanic and cash and it has largely been a disaster in Turin. Juventus want to revamp the midfield with Arthur, McKennie, Ramsey and Rabiot all seen as surplus to requirements. All are for sale and all can be used in exchanges. The problem remains finding takers for the likes of these players who pull a total of €600k in weekly wages will be difficult - but there are mugs out there. Arsenal have asked after taking Arthur on loan - and that might be attractive if a buyer can't be found and Arsenal were to pay his wages. I am sure there is knocking on the door of St James Park. }.

24 Jan 2022 22:11:55
BBC are confirming a loan till the end of the season.

24 Jan 2022 22:48:05
Sorry, to be more accurate Arsenal have agreed terms on a loan deal until the end of the season.
