Arsenal Rumours Mobile

Ed, are we looking to sell Balogun? Thought he was doing well and just signed a deal. Clearly Martinelli needs a run out and Balogun a chance to shine before we lose both.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal may well loan him out to get game time but the player is attrac ting interest and must think about his future.}

21 Oct 2021 00:44:23
Thank you - hope he gets a chance with us.

{Ed002's Note - Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah will be gone so there is a chance.}

I'm seeing a lot of rumours regarding Sterling but I'm in two minds. In the current set up, would he go central in an almost Ramsey style 'arrive in the box at the right time' type of role? He seems a bit physically lightweight for a no.9. If, and it's a big if, Guardiola would do a Lacazette swap (+ cash?) , then that could sway me overall.

12 Oct 2021 02:08:34
Why would Guardiola want Lacazette? 😂.

20 Oct 2021 21:30:46
They could benefit by signing pea - great swap.

Fabrizio Romano posted this today:

Arsenal are following William Saliba's progress closely - they are really happy with the French centre back. 🇫🇷 #AFC

Arsenal told Saliba weeks ago that they trust him 100% for the future, he joined OM on loan to play all games as starter then he’ll be back.

So we've voiced out discontent on this move very often. Does make me happy regardless of whether he should've gone on loan or not that he seems to have a future at arsenal.

Hi Edoo2, I know it's a bit early, but are we looking at anyone to sign in January or does it depends on players sales?

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal need to move on the remaining unhappy players and sell others to balance the books. Arsenal will need to replace or give new deals to out of contract players like Calum Chambers, Alexandre Lacazette andd Eddie Nketiah and will likely need to replace Bernd Leno and perhaps Bukayo Saka.

30 Sep 2021 13:07:26
Thanks Ed, you’ve mentioned interest in Saka before
Are we looking to sell to balance the books or does he want to leave?

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt Arsenal would want to sell him.}

01 Oct 2021 02:07:43
If we sell saka to balance books then it will put a dampener on things

##kronke out.

01 Oct 2021 13:40:31
Is Saka looking to leave? Just concerned you mention replacing him.

{Ed002's Note - There is interest in him and it provides a means to raise funds. As such he could leave.}

02 Oct 2021 00:15:23
Thanks Ed.

03 Oct 2021 11:27:49
Hope he stays lm sure he will.

07 Oct 2021 11:07:10
Hi Ed,

any idea of exactly who is showing interest in him? I'd hope with 4 years left on his contract, if he were to sadly leave, we should be asking for at least 80m for him!

{Ed002's Note - Bukayo Saka (LM/LW) Atletico have enquired after his availability and Juventus have have declared an interest.}

29 Sep 2021 13:29:29
Sad to read Guendouzi is having problems again : (.

29 Sep 2021 17:45:58
😢😢😢.

01 Oct 2021 12:50:13
Guendouzi and Saliba both involved last night. I hope they can sort their emotions out soon.

22 Sep 2021 21:27:39
Hi Ed,

I've been trying to hold back, but I couldn't resist.
With Lacazette and Nketiah both out of contract, can you speak to our CF targets? Are we going to rely on Martinelli or bring someone new in? You have previously said that Eddie might wind up staying: is this probable?
Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Something like this right now:
Paul Onuachu (S) Arsenal and West Ham showed some interest this past summer. Unclear if it remains.
Tiago Tomas (F) Sporting are happy to letter the youngster move on as they see his development having stalled. Arsenal has been suggested by his agent as a possible destination - although he would not be one for the first team at this time but might be a potential replacement if Arsenal were to lose Folarin Balogun.
Luka Jovic (S) there was the option to return to Eintract Frankfurt on a loan with an obligation to buy but it depended on selling Andre Silva and not replacing him - but they opted for the well thought of Rafael Borre. Milan have a sustained interest but have opted for a cheaper solution. Inter wanted to take him as cover but they have much preferred options. Was offered to West Ham but nothing came of it. A third party enquired on behalf of Arsenal but come the end of the summer window there was no space for him - could return for him as a Lacazette replacement. Roma were offered him but the coach turned him Real Madrid will offer him in part exchange for others.
Moussa Dembele (S) just possibly still an option.
Ivan Toney (S) The player decided on a move to Brentford instead of Swansea or Brighton and that has worked well for him. Celtic also made enquiries. After a very good start to last season he has attracted scouts from a number of Premier League sides including Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Arsenal, and again Brighton. Brentford have no interest in selling unless the player pushes for a move. Proposed to Chelsea as a Tammy Abraham replacement.}

23 Sep 2021 09:44:53
Toney would be a really interesting shout.

23 Sep 2021 13:19:02
Ed you’ve made my day. Thanks!

23 Sep 2021 16:33:12
I love you Ed (and all the other eds! )

{Ed002's Note - But me the most.}

24 Sep 2021 15:12:08
No way ed002 dropped in some humor 😜, sorry mate lol. Love your work and your input are very well appreciated.

21 Sep 2021 22:34:04
Saw a rumour Leno is up for sale as his contract runs out in the summer. I assume they want a fee in January rather than nothing in June.

22 Sep 2021 09:17:37
He is likely up for sale, but is contracted until 2023, so no panic to offload him.

22 Sep 2021 16:30:06
Thanks for the correction Otbag, it's so easy to take things as truth without double checking.

22 Sep 2021 18:18:50
Just watch yourself sally some members hold it against you if you say a rumour that turns out to be wrong 😊.

22 Sep 2021 19:12:34
Only if you have a very long history of making stuff up and changing thier name to hide who they really arw Welsh mate 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒.

24 Sep 2021 15:14:45
Welsh there is a different between a rumour and continuous crap puping up.

07 Sep 2021 14:30:32
Hi Ed002. Do you reckon Elneny will leave arsenal this window? I saw that Turkish teams are trying to buy him.

{Ed002's Note - Only if the permanent move/wage issue can be resolved.}

08 Sep 2021 13:04:45
Thank you.
