hey ed any update on the future of theo walcott? cheers.

Overtaker

{Ed001's Note - nothing mate, I would think Vardy was seen as his replacement, judging by what I am told.}


1.) 03 Jul 2016 18:35:44
Surely Theo's wages make a move extremely difficult unless he leaves on a free or part of a swap deal that involves us contributing towards his wages in some way.


2.) 03 Jul 2016 19:05:37
unfortunately g62 i think you're right, don't see him moving this summer although i really don't rate him and with him gone we could get ourselves a top forward or wide player in his place.


3.) 03 Jul 2016 21:45:32
I've seen a quote from Theo saying he's fully committed to Arsenal and has no interest in moving . yet.


4.) 04 Jul 2016 15:46:49
Thats a heartbreaker : (

do arsenal have any interest in benteke?

Overtaker

1.) 30 Jun 2015 07:37:41
not at the price they want, and is also a risk in my opinion


2.) 30 Jun 2015 07:58:17
Majorly overrated IMO. And for that price let Spurs and Liverpool fight it out for him


3.) 30 Jun 2015 08:18:08
I hope not


4.) 30 Jun 2015 09:40:51
i honestly think people are way too harsh on him, he's quality in my opinion. fantastic physical attributes, young. prem proven and can score 20+ goals in a team of our creative quality for sure given what he does in the villa team. he's more aggressive than giroud and is just as good in the air yet is far better on the ball and has more pace. Yes he can be wasteful at times (good like finding a striker that isnt) and has the propensity to be lazy from time to time but i think he would make a fantastic addition to our team and a front three of sanchez benteke and walcott would have everything imo. I think benteke is going to start being to me what austin is to dags, the man i want to see at out club that no one else does


5.) 30 Jun 2015 09:46:03
For me he's got Europa league star CL misfit written all over him and we should stay away.


6.) 30 Jun 2015 10:27:11
Why is no one going for lukaku,thought he's high quality..


7.) 30 Jun 2015 11:43:24
I struggle to understand why people write off the likes of Austin and benteke. It's almost as if people just need a foreign player for some reason. Both of them have hit plenty of goals in the EPL. Villa want daft money for benteke so I see why it puts clubs off. But what would Austin cost. We have had the likes of bentner and bloody sanogo for Christ sakes why are we been so prissy? If we can't get Benzema or lacazette why not give Austin a blast surely better than naught?!?


8.) 30 Jun 2015 12:08:46
yep, the reason i don't want benteke is because he's english, brilliant... as for 'why not give austin a blast' because he is substantially worse than what we already have.


9.) 30 Jun 2015 12:39:01
Durr I meant from foreign leauge. What a dinlo I am 😳


10.) 30 Jun 2015 14:13:40
We should sign Charlie Austin, he is the new Francis Jeffers.


11.) 30 Jun 2015 14:41:05
😂😂😂 LMFAO the new Francis Jeffers classic


12.) 30 Jun 2015 15:00:24
Benteke is to similar to Giroud let's have something different


13.) 30 Jun 2015 11:27:14
You alright Ed? Again sorry being a pain but with everything said now that Vidal is definitely not signing can you just repeat or give more information about the situation? Last question- apparently William Carvalho has been playing really well in the under 21s championship, any update on him, or are Sporting Lisbon still bring stubborn? Thank you... Very long message lol

{Ed002's Note - It has been suggested that Arsenal have told Juventus that they are no longer interested in Vidal - I would need to check.}


14.) 30 Jun 2015 18:07:04
Benteke better on the ball than Giroud? really? I don't think you have seen much of Giroud if you think that. For a big guy he has a really silky touch and his weight of pass is usually spot on. I agree with the comment about Benteke being a Europa league standard striker.


15.) 01 Jul 2015 15:23:17
you know i'm only joshing with you browgun ;)


 

 

26 Jun 2015 13:36:51
new rumours circulating that vidal has already been sold by juventus and that the deal will be announced after the copa america, this ties in very nicely with previous reports from the chilean journalist that arsenal had agreed a deal to sign him and that it would be announced after the tournament... Wishful thinking?

All i know is a window in which we sign both cech and vidal would constitute a fantastic window and would put us in great stead to challenge for the title.

Overtaker

1.) 26 Jun 2015 15:15:20
benitez was a big fan of his while at napoli and i can see him at madrid. if he was england bound id assume the guardian or telegraph to report it rather than a spanish paper, especially the mouthpiece of real madrid.


 

 

05 Jan 2015 09:32:37
Hey eds do you guys know if there's anything concrete behind the loic Perrin stories? Thanks

Overtaker

{Ed002's Note - I would rather not say too much, but right now Loic Perrin is a consideration for Arsenal.}


 

 

01 Sep 2014 16:13:26
gunners I think there is a strong chance we will sign wilfred bony before the end of the transfer window, don't expect a cdm he's made arteta captain and will not replace him in the team. a back up cb will also be signed

ps swansea have signed a striker today. replacement for bony?

Overtaker

1.) Perhaps wenger really wants to wait for lars bender only to lose him to someone else

Every single thing Ed002 has been saying for ages about the state of our club behind the scenes has been proven to be 100% spot on, absolute shambles. We're run by people with no clue how to actually run a club and until that changes what hope have we got. Short to medium term future for this club looking very bleak indeed. strap yourselves in lads and ladies.

Overtaker

1.) 15 Dec 2020 19:36:40
I must confess I am starting to think Wenger needs to return to our club, not anywhere near the first XI, but as a senior director or somewhere on the board. He knows the club, loves the club, and has a lot of knowledge including financially that could really help settle us down. Not sure it would work with a weak manager, but should the inevitable happen with Arteta, and we bring in someone like Viera as head coach, who I can’t see taking any interference from Wenger, we at least have some people running the club who know how it should be done?


2.) 15 Dec 2020 20:33:28
Said from the start arteta is just a yes man.


 

 

13 Sep 2015 00:23:23
Hey everyone very pleased with the result today as well as the performance. I would like to take a moment thought and defend walcott and giroud by pointing out thst whilst they both did miss too many chances so far this season none of the attacking players behind them have been giving them any support in terms of goal threats as none of ramsey, ozil, sanchez or cazorla have scored a single goal so far and that makes it difficult for a striker when you are pretty much carrying the goal scoring burden of a team single handedly. We need more from those lads and to help take the pressure off the strikers from a goal scoring perspective

Overtaker

1.) 13 Sep 2015 00:43:41
So what's the excuse for the chances they missed last season when the other players were chipping in with goals? it's there job to score goals plain and simple
Giroud is a striker so he needs to score, Theo wants to be a striker so he needs to score and can I remind you that all those chances they miss are being created by the guys your criticising, they are doing there job for creating the chances for our 'strikers'


2.) 13 Sep 2015 03:00:40
What people fail to realise is giroud and walcott were successful in scoring today and that fact on its own is brilliant. How many chances did they miss before they scored and after. We had 29 shots today and like last season the back up players are not scoring enough. Wastefullness catches up with you, not today but other days. If you are wastefull and inefficient you will get found out. Its down to ability and if you are good at finishing, you are good at finishing. If you take a lot of chances to score goals that is because of your ability, you can't turn it on and off like a tap. Its something you are capable of doing or not. that's why very good players/finishers play for the top teams and the not so end up playing for the lesser teams. Giroud is a player who takes a certain amount of chances to score and that's his level. It won't just become world class tomorrow. We don't score the goals we should because of our ability.

amidst all the disappointed and pessimism of the arsenal fans on this site at the moment there's one silver lining.... at least we can't draw dortmund again today :p

Or Monaco


 

 

22 Aug 2015 23:18:30
wanyama has told southampton he wants to leave... would be a great signing for us i reckon however i fear he may be spurs bound. If we went in for him we could get him for sure.

Overtaker

1.) 23 Aug 2015 08:31:30
I agree, we should have signed him when he left Celtic


2.) 23 Aug 2015 08:34:42
It'd be a shame if we weren't interested if he is leaving.
Wanyama's a monster.
He may not be 'world class' but he's certainly better than Flamini and Arteta right now!
He's relatively young too, so he'll only get better.

{Ed001's Note - he has no positional sense, doesn't anticipate danger only reacts and can't pass. He is not good enough for Arsenal in my opinion.}


3.) 23 Aug 2015 09:12:03
I really thought we would get him when he left Celtic because he gave us what we desperately needed at the time, but now Le Coq is a far better player and we should be looking for the next Wanyama or better still the next Le Coq.


4.) 23 Aug 2015 09:23:54
I've a fair few friends that are season ticket holders at Southampton and they love him tbh,


5.) 23 Aug 2015 09:21:32
Eds he's a lot better than you make out. His touch is a lot better than mo sakho's. BTW how is his season going mate

Celtic have a good DM BTW. I'd of bitton there hands off for him.

{Ed001's Note - what the hell has a centre back got to do with a defensive midfielder? Clueless retort. You might want to try watching and then you would know Bitton is not a defensive midfielder so your knowledge is clearly non-existent.}


6.) 23 Aug 2015 10:28:21
Really Ed?
I must admit, I don't watch many Saint's games, so my view is probably way off!

I guess I'm just too keen to get someone in for that defensive mid role!

{Ed001's Note - he was fine when carried by Schneiderlin, but he is not that good on his own. Watch the goal against Everton where he sells himself going into a challenge near the halfway line with Lukaku, which allowed Lukaku to just run past him and he was then left trailing as Lukaku received the ball back on the edge of the box to score. A top class defensive midfielder would never have sold himself there, they would have looked to block the run instead and no goal would have been scored.}


7.) 23 Aug 2015 10:50:38
I love how rattled you get eds. So who sits in the Celtic team? Iv seen a lot of bitton.

Sakho is a defender but I said skirtel is better you were having non of it. :( very harsh on him indeed. Sakho plays you into trouble. Dropped now and your better for it.

{Ed001's Note - sitting is not a defensive midfielder's role. Pirlo sat but was in no way a defensive midfielder. As for rattled, that is just you being childish and having a pathetic sly dig over nothing. Bitton is a playmaker, it is not difficult to see if you know football.

Better for it? Again clueless, we have been abysmal and Skrtel is a major part of the problem but you obviously think you know better. You might want to try watching players instead of the ball and understanding their game, then you would know your assessments are lacking in any substance or understanding. Sakho never played us into trouble, he got played into trouble by a midfield wandering off and not looking when he had the ball. Hardly the same thing.}


8.) 23 Aug 2015 12:46:26
I'll keep an eye out next time I see saints play!

What your saying about his partnership with Schneiderlin is understandable, it's like how I worry Le Coq may not do so well without Santi next to him!

{Ed001's Note - that is exactly it, a clever player alongside one who runs around a lot can make a good partnership, but it doesn't mean the guy who runs around is actually any good individually.}


9.) 23 Aug 2015 13:04:33
U always see the who sits deepest in the midfield as the most defensive. You wouldn't play gilberto as a winger or number 10. Bitton isn't a De jong but he gets his foot in. Let's brown push on.

There's s reason sakho has been dropped. I don't see

You remind me of the angry neighbour that pops the ball that gets kicked over.

Everton eds is the one that invites you round to collect and you leave with an extra Mars bar

{Ed025's Note - i need to toughen up derby mate.. :)


 

 

29 Jun 2015 18:11:44
hey eds are skysports' reports saying that arsenal have no interest in vidal inaccurate? thanks.

Overtaker

{Ed002's Note - I don't watch television. Try not to write sentences with double negatives.}


1.) 29 Jun 2015 18:27:32
how would you phrase it?

{Ed002's Note - Remove the first two letters of "inaccurate".}


2.) 29 Jun 2015 18:34:43
guess i was writing from the perspective i was hoping for lol


3.) 29 Jun 2015 19:36:03
I never believed we would get him or the hype surrounding us signing him but for me Vidal to Arsenal is no more or less likely than it was last week.
Its always been a long shot and until he sign's else where will remain that to me.
Arsene was head over heels in love with him at the world cup and I doubt his crush has faded.

Very interesting thanks a lot Ed! Do you have any idea as to whether Leicester have indicated if they would be interested in the player plus cash deal we’re proposing? Seems like this deal may be a non-starter if they aren’t interested in any of our players. Cheers.

Honestly, even if we did have the money for grealish (which we clearly dont) i think we need to learn from the pepe situation and not blow the budget on one player, too many positions in the squad need strengthening.

for the 4th place team in england to not get cl football, the winners of the cl and europa league have to both be teams from england that both finished outside the top 4, like if united won the cl this season and arsenal won the europa.

there are so many top quality strikers potentially available this summer, it would an absolute joke if aren't able to pull one of them off, Lukaku, lacazette, belotti, mbappe, icardi, morata, aubameyang just to name a few.

Insigne recently signed a contract extension and i considering his personal ties to the club i don't think hell ever leave. Mahrez for me isn't good enough after one good season and one horrific one he hasn't proved himself enough i don't think.

Id say the main area we need to strengthen is upfront with a real top quality out and out number 9, whether that be someone like belotti, icardi, morata, aubameyang, mbappe or lukaku etc.
