Big Rumours Max has signed scholarship terms! Nice to see him MLS Nwaneri trusting if good enough they’ll play! Unlike others who jumped elsewhere COYG.
21 Aug 2025 05:59:29
Am I missing something? Great news regarding Eze but how does that solve the problem regarding Kai’s injury? Depending on severity we need cover as if Viktor gets injured who plays? Unless Martinelli is set to cover playing centrally! At least he won’t have to worry about defending Certainly explains Tross situation. Or as we are bringing in Gooners to the club maybe Watkins as Villa interested in Jackson apparently! If Kai is out for a short time then sure we will use viktor and cover with Martinelli/ Tross/ Merino COYG.

Don’t worry great transfer incoming.
2.) 21 Aug 2025 10:46:08
I think you're right that the cover will be trossard/ merino and maybe martenelli if desperate. It makes sense as if we got another cf in then we'd have gyokores and the new cf with havertz and jesus to return. Seems too stacked for one position.
3.) 21 Aug 2025 14:27:10
Sammy the only ‘Great’ transfer to cover CF is surely Mr Isak . Am I close to? I am holding you personally responsible if we don’t get a great incoming transfer ??? COYG.
4.) 21 Aug 2025 16:14:16
I wonder whether we might see Nwaneri play as a false 9 as well. Arteta has talked about it and Eze plays in the same position Nwaneri does, so it could be a thing. Guess we'll see.
5.) 23 Aug 2025 00:55:12
I know I'm dreaming, but if liverpool upset Newcastle and Newcastle are forced to sell elsewhere for a lower price something could be done.
6.) 24 Aug 2025 21:15:37
We are a wealthy club we can afford one more great signing. Isak is an issue because we may compete against Liverpool but there could be a spite sale. Rodrygo looks to be our big target…. now him saka and chunky viktor wow.
29 Aug 2024 16:25:44
Hi Ed002 hope you`re well. You said a while ago Arsenal were in for Ivan Toney if the price reduced. Is this still the case or as you like to say have we moved on? Thanks in advance COYG.
{Ed002's Note - I understand that efforts are being made still to take Toney to Saudi.}
1.) 29 Aug 2024 18:45:02
Hi ed002, you mentioned on the europe page before that Arsenal were likely bidders for Gyokeres. Is that unlikely as we near the end of the window.
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure I said likely bidders but it would take a single payment of €100M now and the player to agree. There may be an offer from elsewhere tomorrow but suspect Arsenal will step away at that price.}
26 Jul 2024 10:19:27
Hi Eds hope you are all well. Is there any interest in Thomas Partey as he enters the last year of his contract? Seems we are looking to upgrade him and just wanting to know if he`s aiming to run his contract down. Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - There has been interest from Turkey and the Middle East but he wants to see his contract out. Arsenal want him moved on.}
1.) 26 Jul 2024 14:05:30
Thanks Ed002, frustrating for the club I guess but if ( a big if ) he stays fit for the season he is a big asset. Much appreciated COYG.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
2.) 28 Jul 2024 16:35:50
From what I’ve seen merino isn’t an upgrade on Partey. Any CMs Eds you’d be looking at that’s up for potential grabs or you like the look of merino?
{Ed014's Note - I’d never heard of Merino prior to the Euros and never watched him there either.
Ugarte was supposed to be the dogs but looks like PSG are trying to off load him, have to ask why. Think Utd are looking at him to replace Casimero, but let’s be honest, any elderly lady would be better than that lump.
I liked the look of Wharton at Palace from what little I’d seen of him.
That aside no real idea mate, who do you like the look of?
3.) 28 Jul 2024 18:25:21
Wharton would be a great signing but I think Palace would want stupid money for him. I’ve seen Ruiz linked with us which could be a good signing.
4.) 29 Jul 2024 03:15:05
Well Ed I think the player I think Arteta could coach to be a worldy that would fit into the quality of squad we have is Mainoo not that we could get him. But he’s the kind of player. I always thought Kimmich could be an interesting one but I’ve seen you mention about his high wage and he looks maybe city bound if he moves?
{Ed014's Note - Mainoo does have a lot about him and I’m sure he’d be better here than where he is but that move would be very very unlikely.
Kimmich would definitely want big money and at 29 doesn’t have much of a shelf life.
I’m sure Arteta has someone in mind so it’s just a bit of wait and see unfortunately.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 18:59:02
Ed do you think though with Saudi buying players of all ages, teams will be thinking it’s now a possibility to get your money atleast back if you can get a quality player relatively cheap for the individual market valuation even if they’re on the older side of 20s?
{Ed014's Note - it’s possible mate but I don’t think things are going quite as swimmingly as the Saudis hoped and maybe the crazy money signings will drop off.
The other thing with Kimmich is how he’d affect the wage structure. There also doesn’t seem to be a mass of clubs looking to sign him.
14 Jul 2024 11:53:40
Hi Ed002 Hope you are well. Do Arsenal have any interest in Julian Alvarez at City? Not sure they would sell to us but would be a great signing COYG.
{Ed002's Note - There is interest from other clubs, but not Arsenal.}
1.) 17 Jul 2024 16:25:23
Thanks as always Ed002 ?.

Phew! Thank goodness Politics and Sport don’t mix! WTF COYG.
1.) 05 Dec 2025 17:39:40
Just when you think fifa can't be anymore corrupt!
2.) 05 Dec 2025 17:47:04
Its so openly corrupt now days its almost laughable mate, in fact now that any expectation of anything different has gone it actually is laughable. Personally I feel much better since I gave up on the lot of them mate ????.
3.) 05 Dec 2025 20:28:09
It was cringeworthy that's for sure!
03 Dec 2025 15:21:45
I`m sure you lovely people know ( and MA has reminded us all ) but 7.30pm KO tonight. COYG 3 points please.
21 Oct 2025 21:34:43
? ? COYG.
1.) 21 Oct 2025 22:04:26
???.
{Ed025's Note - i love it too.. :)
2.) 21 Oct 2025 22:06:30
Unbelievable result ? ? ?
We can only expect Liverpool and their team full of superior players will hit Frankfurt for at least 8 without reply.
3.) 21 Oct 2025 22:10:57
When life gives you lemons, take the mick out of Ed025!
{Ed025's Note - "one swallow does not a summer make"...and thats my defence Sharpey M,lud.. :)
4.) 21 Oct 2025 22:33:47
Couldn’t resist Ed025, he’s scoring one in two in all comps but it his work rate that impresses me. Apparently he runs further than any prem striker but it leads to defenders and keepers rushing which leads to turnovers which are important! He seems popular with his team mates and they see him in training! My view is he’s one of us he tries his arse off he’ll do for me COYG Or is that a one game knee jerk? I don’t think so but WTF do I know.
{Ed025's Note - i hope he proves me wrong SUSSEX, but that has not happened since 1978 mate.. :)
5.) 21 Oct 2025 22:43:53
Ed25 you every time he scores you will see some lemons in the thread right hahahah.
{Ed025's Note - i would expect nothing less Moe mate.. :)
6.) 21 Oct 2025 23:21:31
I'm in Scotland, I don't have a clue what a summer is, mate.
?? #COYG.
7.) 22 Oct 2025 07:38:15
It was a great win, and lovely for Gyok to get a double, but let's not forget Arteta and Merino were being slaughtered for achieving the same numbers last season. More lemons required!
02 Oct 2025 21:43:08
If we say late goals are 80th minute onwards we have scored a late goal in seven out of nine games this season! Bodes well! Also as a kicker the league leaders have scored six late goals in the league while we have managed five! Shows we keep going too. Just means keep the faith even with 10 to go! Thought it showed a good mentality ? COYG.
1.) 03 Oct 2025 07:53:39
Well said sussex
The team has spunk.
25 Aug 2025 17:23:21
?? some on the pool page wondering why with ( once Kiwior and Zion go ) seven defenders we need another defender while they have NINE and looking to buy Guehi! Why let the facts get in the way of a good post COYG Ed01 seems to rate him too, good enough for me.
25 Aug 2025 17:04:50
Guess he’s a replacement for Kiwior and once Kiwior and Zinchenko are sold we have 7 defenders- Hincapie makes 8 and can cover LB and CB. No idea if he’s any good - seen him mentioned across the sites but if he’s an upgrade then ? . Maybe Saka not missing many games hopefully maybe waiting for Jesus to cover come October time. Just hope Victor stays fit - seems risky - one Hincapie=1 Watkins but need two defenders in each position I guess COYG.
21 Aug 2025 14:27:10
Sammy the only ‘Great’ transfer to cover CF is surely Mr Isak . Am I close to? I am holding you personally responsible if we don’t get a great incoming transfer ??? COYG.
15 Aug 2025 10:03:07
Selling Kiwior, Tross, Zinchenko and Veira - In for Eze and Malik Fofana. Who knows but would be spectacular COYG.
08 Aug 2025 18:01:47
As Nathan ? says himself he’s versatile across front five and happy to play and cover where needed. Think he’ll mainly share Saka cover with Max and cover Ode with Eze hopefully! I thought he was excellent covering Saka last season and will only improve ( and not his position either) Brilliant news COYG.
29 Jan 2026 08:59:55
At the game last night which on another night could have been 6-1 and the love for Kai was huge! VAR just sucks the fun out of it doesn’t it? COYG.
23 Jan 2026 08:02:20
I’ve only got 5 gallons of tartan paint and a long weight both legit though ? I thought Ed25 was stamping down on name calling but let’s you get away with the Trotter jibe and Sharpie calling me a Grifter! Disgraceful! How do I complain? Disgusted! 2-1 v the Mancs on Sunday COYG.
22 Jan 2026 18:26:16
Grifter How very dare you! Inadvertently you’ve given me a new advertising idea Roy’s Bins! For the cockneys COYG.
22 Jan 2026 16:45:05
Yes you can Mal! I have some off red glasses for sale . They are Aviateurs made exclusively by Roy Bans! Beautiful they are COYG.
04 Jan 2026 14:42:30
I always wanted Xhaka to succeed, no rhyme or reason when he was getting pelters and he came good, I have that feeling about Viktor. He may well turn out to be a lemon ( I disagree with you) but he`s our lemon and I`ve just read that Declan rates him - good enough for me.
He said he scored his first goal yesterday because of Viktor. At least he`s not a plum like Sesko COYG.
