Now here's the question. Will Saliba have his head turned by Real Madrid?
1.) 04 Jan 2025 08:07:35
I don’t think so sally
I still think he has much more to learn under the boss and it looks like he’s really enjoying playing with our back 5.

Hi eds, there is lots of chatter about Vlahovic to arsenal at the moment. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this please.
{Ed001's Note - there was a longstanding interest, but I don't know if that went with Edu or not.}
1.) 13 Dec 2024 17:25:23
Thanks Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome Sally.}
2.) 18 Dec 2024 15:35:09
Hey Ed, Do you see us pushing for deals this January. Vlahovic as asked above is an interesting one but Arsenal may wish to wait til the summer to go Big on Isak who looks very much like an Arsenal kind of player. Whether Newcastle sell is a different story. Kudas is another interesting one who's got quality in the final 3rd. One name I'm not sure I've seen mentioned and I'm sure will trigger some Lols. Pogba? What a quality player he was a few years back. at 31 tho and not proven for a few years now. Could be too much of a gamble.
{Ed001's Note - I don't expect much to be done by anyone mate, not in January. The regulations are constricting teams from doing business, unless they offload players first. That is why Arteta is looking to blood youngsters. If they perform, then brilliant. But if they do not live up to expectations, they can be sold for a higher price due to having Prem experience - so win, win.}

Good morning to all our EDs. I'm not sure if you are back on here after this sad week and I send my love to you all.
If anyone is here I have a couple of questions please.
I'm a bit niaive about your individual areas of expertise so I'm not quite sure who to direct my questions to. So I know ED025 is an Evertonian and that Ed001 likes sharks but that's the limit of my understanding. So I would be grateful for clarification so I can direct my questions to the right Ed.
Also could anyone please let me know if they have any knowledge on the upcoming APT vote? I've just read a report that City, Everton, Newcastle and Chelsea will vote against and possibly also Villa and Forest which it seems would tips the balance in favour of City. The suggestion in the report is that the rest of the league (which includes Arsenal) might withdraw from the PL and set up their own league. So my question is, is this a realistic possibility EDs?
Thanks everyone.
{Ed001's Note - it has always been a possibility, Ed002 always believed that it would happen sooner rather than later. He would have been right, but the fans' revolt stopped the first try at a European Super League. It has not gone away though. It is probably just a matter of time before it eventually ends up being reality.}
1.) 20 Nov 2024 13:51:36
Thanks ed001, appreciate your reply.
{Ed001's Note - you are very welcome Sally. I don't think it will ever go away while club owners see $$ signs around it.}
2.) 20 Nov 2024 14:57:51
Presumably these super league clubs could end up with unlimited funds to spend if they are owned by the mega-rich and current sustainability rules don't apply?
In a way that would separate the have and the have-nots and the clubs who don't get invited, or who choose not to join, could carry on with a little bit more integrity under a sustainable FFP. I suppose its possible that if this new league attracts enough clubs they could potentially break away totally and just play among themselves. They won't be short of fans I'm sure, both at the stadiums and via TV.
{Ed001's Note - pretty much as I see it too Sally. Not sure it is good for football though. I would hate it.}
3.) 20 Nov 2024 15:42:28
Me too ed001, for me football isn't about watching superstars cancelling each other out, it's about clubs like Luton taking on the big boys and giving them a run for their money.
By the way I've tried to love sharks (hubby is fascinated by them) but its just not happening for me ;)
{Ed001's Note - I totally agree on the Luton thing, that is what makes the sport great, that unknown factor in every game.
You should check out the footage of sharks wagging their tail when their heads are scratched. They are incredible creatures and not mindless killers like people often believe. I have the godkids obsessed with them too - one of them has a big shark teddy I got her that has to go with her everywhere.}
4.) 20 Nov 2024 16:08:10
All animals are sentient beings Ed001, and all are fascinating.
I'm obsessed by bees (as well as Arsenal! ) since I talked to a beekeeper and learnt about them. ? ? ?.
{Ed001's Note - that's true, animals are much more interesting than people. I could happily spend every day in the zoo or an aquarium.}
5.) 21 Nov 2024 06:13:32
Little known fact about me - I LOVE dogs and horses. And sentient is absolutely right. People forget about that part, unfortunately.
Ed001, you mentioned being in the middle of a move in a previous message. Where you moving to?
{Ed001's Note - even trees and plants have feelings, we now know that they feel pain and cry for help.
Back to Dubai. I went back for a few days to find a place, found the perfect place and took it on the spot, but it has meant coping with just the clothes I had packed for 4 days! It is right by a football stadium and overlooks the training pitches, I saw that out the window as I walked in and said, "I'll take it!" It is not in one of the more desirable areas of Dubai, as it is out near Sharjah, but that meant I was able to get a better apartment for less money than I was expecting. Hellish trying to get everything organised though and now got to get my stuff shipped over.
How are things with you mate? Where are you at these days?}
6.) 21 Nov 2024 09:19:50
Ah, good ol' Dubai. Love that place and quite a few good memories of it when I worked there.
I'm in Scotland mate, and have had to holiday local for the past 5 years, and possibly for the next 5 or 6. My dog (5 years old) is a bit of an ahole with other dogs (very reactive) . Been done the road of behaviourists, etc. and he's slightly better, but can't risk having him in kennels. So, yeah, we do rural cottages up north these days so he can come with me too. I couldn't believe how much more expensive it is to "holiday" here than it is to fly out some place hot. Ridiculous.
I do envy you in Dubai though. When I first moved to Scotland, I loved the cold and the crispness. These days, not so much ?
Hope you settle back in well mate, and good to know you're ok.
{Ed001's Note - I don't miss British weather. Only thing I really miss is Anfield and the family.
How did you end up in Scotland? What on earth have you done so wrong to end up there???}
7.) 21 Nov 2024 12:00:26
Mate, would you believe I was minding my own business, met a girl (she was on holiday visiting a friend in Bahrain) , and that was it. Great when I was younger, but the cold weather doesn't fascinate me like it use to.
So to answer your question about what I did wrong - so so so many things ?.
{Ed001's Note - it all ended with 'met a girl'. That is life and soul destroying.}
31 Aug 2024 08:55:18
Shoutout to Ed002 and all the eds for their hard work this crazy transfer window. Thank you all, hope you are having a lie-in this morning ? ?.
29 Aug 2024 13:09:12
Good afternoon ed002, is there a possibility Arsenal might be in for Santiago Gimenez at this late hour?
{Ed002's Note - Santiago Gimenez (S) Had another good season at Feyenoord and attracting interest of Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Lille, Spurs, Real Madrid, Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt. He has become the first choice Harry Kane replacement for Spurs after they lost out on their preferred option last summer but not first choice for Chelsea or Real Madrid - although don't discount either. Spurs have an advantage that Feyenoord are interested in a Spurs player, Barcelona may offer a wildcard option following a discussion between Deco and someone they are trying to recruit. Arsenal sent scouts but have preferred options, although they are falling by the wayside so don't discuss them. Others, such as Nottingham Forest, Marseille, Crystal Palace and West Ham can be discounted. Lille and Eintracht Frankfurt would only be viable if they make significant sales and others drop out. Cost could be pretty high - they will look for perhaps €55M - ending interest of most of these clubs. Don't discount Napoli who are planning for life after Osimhen or Milan after failing with Sesko.}

Thanks as always ed002 ?.

Seems wearing the no more red kit this weekend seems particularly poignant as the 14 year old kid who lost his life recently was an arsenal fan apparently. RIP for this young life lost ?.
1.) 12 Jan 2025 12:00:40
We are living in a crazy time Sally, so much awful and totally unnecessary suffering happening ?.
08 Jan 2025 12:24:04
We had 23 shots on goal so we can't be doing everything wrong!
{Ed014's Note - well to some we clearly can Sally, as 17 of them never ended up in the net. ?♂️
1.) 08 Jan 2025 12:55:33
Oh behave, 14. I think most fans would have settled for even 1 in the net.
{Ed014's Note - ???
2.) 08 Jan 2025 13:05:00
Therein lies the problem ed014 lol.
{Ed014's Note - exactly and Sharpie being one of them!
3.) 08 Jan 2025 17:03:10
Luckily I'm just one small, insignificant problem. I'm sure Arteta has 99 other pressing ones.
08 Jan 2025 10:24:26
A few thoughts . I'm pretty sure our guys feel worse than any fans after last night.
Something I think needs addressing urgently. We have so much possession and teams have sussed out how to neutralise us going forward by constantly playing an extremely low block. The Newcastle box seemed to be packed every time we had a run on goal. What I have noticed is how often we get caught on the break with very few defenders to cover a huge space and so our box is easily compromised. This was really evident last night. Are we doing ourselves any favours leaving ourselves open like this?
And of course we need a top class striker to convert all those near misses. Probably about 10 last night! How would City be without Haarland, Liverpool without Salah?
1.) 08 Jan 2025 19:58:47
Hi Sally, I’m not sure they do. If they did then why don’t they show it. Why don’t they play the ball forward quicker. I don’t buy that. If a film is crap - do you watch it all? The fans who pay a fortune to watch them play won’t get home till really late so they have a choice to make as did Ode when he stupidly gave the ball away and could be bothered to win it back. Wenger used to say we are in the entertainment business competing for peoples time. I think Arteta should listen to his old manager.
31 Dec 2024 16:13:16
I'm not sure how many Eds read our forum, but I wish you all the very best for 2025 with a great big thank you for all your work. ? ? ? ? ?
Cheers to you all ? ? ? ?!
{Ed001's Note - thank you Sally, HNY to you and yours too.}
1.) 31 Dec 2024 17:28:00
Well said sally
Cheers Ed’s.
{Ed001's Note - take care mal.}
26 Dec 2024 17:27:23
What a great result for Iwobi and Leno today! Thanks guys ? ? ?.

23 Dec 2024 18:03:02
Aha that's why you are an Ed, ed and I am not lol.
{Ed001's Note - I guess so Sally. I do try and learn about these things.}
23 Dec 2024 18:01:03
Aha thanks Ed001, hadn't thought of that.
23 Dec 2024 16:57:22
I might be a bit dim here Ed001 but if Edu is serving 6 months notice shouldn't he still be working? I'm wondering if there was trouble at t' mill?
{Ed001's Note - it is rare in business that you want someone who is potentially going to a competitor working their notice period. It is standard practice to have them clear their desk immediately. Then they are out of the loop by the time they start their new position.}
13 Dec 2024 17:25:23
Thanks Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome Sally.}
01 Dec 2024 10:18:00
Looks like we're not the only club interested in him!

17 Jan 2025 00:05:54
Personally I love Kieran Charlie but you are right to be worried about his injury record.
I think he would do you proud if you re-signed him though - his heart is still at Celtic it seems. Perhaps the Scottish League suits him better.
15 Jan 2025 14:48:58
Maybe his honesty went against him Sy. He is certainly a very confident man, according to my friend. I watched his lengthy interview on Diary of a CEO and was quite impressed.
I always felt he went to Saudi as a last result.
15 Jan 2025 13:32:26
DG don't let a football club spoil your week. We can't do anything about things that have already gone. Raheem and Kai could surprise us all tonight!
15 Jan 2025 12:04:35
Can't see Brentford giving up Bueno for 4 months!
I have a friend close to the club who couldn't understand why we didn't come in for Toney. He says he is salt of the earth, totally honest and hardworking.
15 Jan 2025 09:19:29
He must be doing something right if he can attract players like Zubamendi Sy ?.
