Gabriel undergoing medical in London as we speak ahead of completing transfer from Lille to Arsenal for €26m + €4m in add-ons. Permission to do medical before starting quarantine. More on #AFC summer business by

Begs the question of why so many medicals for one man? :-)
2.) 24 Aug 2020 19:43:51
I think he's undergoing his 6th medical now G62, probably in the same room as Yann M'Vila.

I think they call that room the Tardis Wire mate, players go in at London Colney and suddenly appear somewhere else in the world :-)

Sorry Akie mate I called you Wire in my reply, I need to upgrade my glasses :-)

To any of the dates who wish to answer your reply is greatly appreciated. After ed002 gave a very indepth response of possible replacements to Mr Wenger I was surprised to see no mention of Luis Enrique! Does anyone think he is in with a serious shout?
{Ed002's Note - As a date I am happy to deal with this. Luis Enrique is available and has, to my knowledge, spoken with two sides about vacancies for a head coach in the summer. Neither of those sides were Arsenal. If they have approached him, which they can because he is not attached to a club, then I am not aware of it - hence my not mentioning him, nor Brendan Rodgers, nor Remi Garde.
If Arsenal were to bring in LE as a manager it would be a soft and safe option and not a way forward. His ability to change and succeed with a 5th or 6th placed side in a competitive league is near zip.}

Thanks date002 apologies for the typo! 😠Personally I had a feeling that he would be the next manager due to his sabatical and Arsenes short term contract. I now though have no clue as to who would be best. Do you think maybe pep may get the sack for having an unsuccessful season with just the 2 trophies? 😋😋.

I think you’re right Ed regarding your view on Enrique. I think arsenal need some fight and personality back in the squad and that starts from the top. You’ve said more I’m sure than you’d like, that Simone isn’t an option or at least not one to bank on. May I ask the reason why that is? Does he not favour a move to the Prem or is it just Arsenal?
3.) 23 Apr 2018 03:04:21
Hi Ed002 - I have reservations in respect of the fact that he was successful at Barcelona and hasn't recent experience of a 5th or 6th place team. However, he was cutting his teeth in management prior to taking over as Barcelona manager in 2014. He would be a risk. Other than Simeone, I can't think of a stand out candidate and that is dependant upon Simeone wanting to leave Atletico and having learnt to speak English.
My next two choices would be Vieira and Allegri, but both raise concerns.
No's - Low, Rodgers, Howe and Dyche.
{Ed002's Note - I agree with you about Enrique but I have been told over the weekend that there is a nervousness felt by some at the club that Arsenal may take that soft option. Simeone can speak English to a reasonable level and has been taking lessons for perhaps three years, but as I have already said, I would discount him. Vieira lacks experience and is likely only of interest to Arsenal fans because he is an ex player. Maybe give the job to Carlo for three years and then bring PV to work with him in the final year before taking over, but right now not a good choice. Max Allegri would be a good option and he has support at the club - but I am not so sure the job would interest him.}

Ed002, you said that Kia wants rid of Tierney which is bloody ridiculous (not from you) can you explain if you know that is. What is the reasoning for this? I am confused as to why they want rid so soon.
Thank you in advance
{Ed002's Note - Kia wants Arsenal to bring in another of his players.}
1.) 25 Aug 2020 13:22:44
It’s obvious this Kia ain’t no Gooner COYG.

I have a question for ed002 if you could find the time please. Do you think Raul Sanllehi leaving the club is a good thing and it will sort out part of the problem of our structure or do you think it would have been better for edu to leave?
Thank you for your continued insight.
{Ed002's Note - Yes I think it is a very good thing but the structure remains a complete mess.}

Just saw a mirror article online giving us our usual yearly link to Higuain! 😂😂

Excellent! It's a bit like deleting you junk mail, sooner or later you've Just got to through it and get it out of the way!

Question for any of the eds if you please.
Do club lawyers normally go along to "talks"? Surely they would only go along once a decision has been agreed and contracts need to be talked about.
Thanks for all your good work by the way.ðŸ˜
{Ed002's Note - It is common for lawyers to be involved in any talks and in some countries it is mandatory.}

So, according to Ornstein on the BBC website Emery is being sacked today. Let's hope he has got this one right.
1.) 29 Nov 2019 11:28:51
Obviously it's the right thing to do first and foremost for Arsenal football club and the fans but also for Emery too.
It's not going to come good for him with us and he's only human so it must be effecting him personally, imagine being him going home to his wife each night and her asking " how was your day dear "? There is only so long you can put on a brave face and reassure loved ones your ok.
Parting company is the best thing for everyone involved,
Good luck where ever you go next Emery, I can't pretend I'm sorry to see you go but I am sorry it came to this for your sake as much as ours.
2.) 29 Nov 2019 12:19:01
Couldn't agree more G62, its a really sad day for me, i have been made redundant twice in my career, and its not nice losing your job, let alone to be sacked in full view. Whatever people thought of his management, Emery seems a very decent man, who i really wanted to succeed at our club, and no other job in the world sees individuals put up to so much public scrutiny as football management. I am sure most would crumble at having such pressure at their work. So adios Mr Emery, and best luck for the future. I am sure something good will come up back in Spain, whose league obviously suits your style well. let's now get 100% behind Freddie, and i really hope he makes it really difficult for the board to hire anyone else by turning us around.
3.) 29 Nov 2019 18:06:36
Bit of a difference earning 40k plus a year to his wages mate, I don’t think it would really bother people like emery to us we have to find another job ASAP for bills he could retire for life now.
07 Aug 2019 21:12:37
Good news. Now let's get a CB and crack on with turning the club around in the right direction.
15 May 2018 12:50:47
Apparently there's a trainee chimney sweep on this sure who might be . available. ðŸ˜.

Just like unied did to moyes and van gaal, or Chelsea and any one of the last 72 managees they had.
05 Oct 2020 17:32:17
I don't think he would. I think he will honour his contract at the very least.
04 Aug 2019 13:34:58
Not enough players? ðŸ˜.

Ed. we beat Sweden who were narrowly beaten by Germany. The current world champions who weren't at their best admittedly. We beat Colombia who who have recently beaten France we beat a spirited tunisia, we lost to Belgium when we weren't really bothered about the result anyway. Luck is a massive part of the game. Italy and Holland didn't even qualify, nor the likes of Chile. We were in control in the first half last night but our nerves kicked in. It happens to all teams. Why can't people get behind the team and say well done for getting into the semi finals and taking it into extra time?
{Ed001's Note - how were they in control in the first half? I am sorry but that is just bias talking. They were the better side and had England pegged back after the initial shock of going behind. England sneaked past a dreadful Sweden, who has Larsson, who is not good enough for the Championship, as their key man. And how was it done? Set pieces. The team is all about set pieces and offer nothing in open play. They deserved nothing and got nothing.}
12 Jul 2018 06:12:00
@Paul from Belfast. If you said to me before the tournament that we would lose in extra time in the semi final I would have snapped your hand off. You can only beat what is in front of you as they say. Unfortunately that goes for Croatia as well. Did we get ahead of ourselves as a nation. yes. But do you honestly believe that the Irish wouldn't either? We lost our first game 1-0 but hardly looked like we tried to win. Last night was just nerves. We did ok all we need to do is learn from it and keep going.
