Just seen Nwaneri might be leaving. He seems to need a challenge but I've read reports from the manager of his loan club publicly stating he needed to do more. Hope it works out for him though.
.
Anyway, if true, it seems we couke insert a buy back clause, that seems like a pretty good idea!
1.) 05 Aug 2026 09:05:05
I think so too, Sally. My feeling is that Nwaneri has coasted a little since he broke through, and a permanent deal would be good for him. Buyback clause seems like the best of both worlds, as it puts the pressure on him to excel, and I think he may need that pressure to develop.
2.) 05 Aug 2026 09:25:00
He hasn't pushed on, but there is a player there. Perhaps a prem loan, say Everton or Palace, would be better than the south of France. COYG.

As it seems we are serious about Alvarez, would a loan with an option to buy work for him? It would give his family a chance to live in London for a while as I understand Manchester wasn't appealing to them.
1.) 24 Jul 2026 13:45:24
I've never liked these arrangements, and I don't think they work for the player either. It never leaves them settled unless it's clear the intent - like with Raya and Hincapie, it was clear. Players like Sancho and Barkley get horse-traded around, and it never works for anyone. imo, if we get Alvarez, it should be a straight purchase.
2.) 24 Jul 2026 22:49:33
Why would Atletico loan a player (that they don't want to sell) and wait a year to get the over EUR150m? How are they gonna replace him if they don't get the money up front?
3.) 25 Jul 2026 08:50:48
Naively, I was only looking at it from the player's perspective. Thanks for the comments, guys. ?
4.) 27 Jul 2026 23:14:33
Unfortunately they are trading cards, Sally - bought, sold, dropped and discarded when it suits. Players also treat clubs poorly, with agents hungry for fees.
Stay lovely. ?
08 Jul 2026 12:21:00
Looks like we are about to sign Meslier from Leeds as backup for Raya. That cane from nowhere lol.
1.) 08 Jul 2026 22:32:23
Hi Sally, most of our signings do seem to come out of nowhere. ?
2.) 09 Jul 2026 07:45:25
They do indeed, g62. I think it shows the Arsenal run a tight ship, and you can usually ignore the media b*******, as speculation or drumming up interest by agents.
{Ed001's Note - it has been all over the Leeds site for weeks.}
3.) 10 Jul 2026 00:45:14
Pretty sure I've seen it in the rags for a week or two.
29 Apr 2026 10:51:17
Morning eds, are we being seriously linked with any new players does anyone know?
{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any, which probably suggests that they are waiting to see if you win something or not.}
1.) 29 Apr 2026 23:18:30
Thanks for the response ed, that makes sense
{Ed001's Note - very welcome Sally.}
01 Apr 2026 19:26:51
Hope our ed001 and everyone out there amidst the madness are all ok and where is our ed014?
{Ed001's Note - all good mate, ed14 messaged on WhatsApp earlier so I think he is OK.}
1.) 01 Apr 2026 19:59:13
Good to hear ed001 ?
{Ed001's Note - thanks Sally.}

In case anyone doesn't know, it seems the game today is free on Arsenal's YouTube channel. Happy happy happy!
1.) 09 Aug 2026 14:31:19
Still happy? lol.
2.) 09 Aug 2026 14:33:29
Getting mugged. I know it's just a friendly, but this is where we try and show a bit of how we intend to run the season.
3.) 09 Aug 2026 14:44:55
Max looking good.
4.) 09 Aug 2026 14:52:21
A 16 year old and 3? under-20 year olds, a 2nd goalkeeper, so I'm not too unhappy, guys. I see lots of talent coming through..
5.) 09 Aug 2026 15:35:18
I prefer Meslier to Arizabalaga.
6.) 09 Aug 2026 15:37:45
It'll be alright on the night, Sally, and the night things genuinely start counting for anything of any huge importance is Friday 21st of August v Coventry.
Up until then, everything is simply a dress rehearsal, obviously, it's always better when rehearsals go really well, but learning from things that go wrong before the opening night is what rehearsals are really all about.
7.) 09 Aug 2026 17:34:36
Totally agree 62, I was really impressed with our youngsters, and if that is the last goal Martinelli scores for us he will have gone out in style. ? ?
30 Jul 2026 11:01:34
If we are really in for Bruno, I hope Eddie Howe's resignation doesn't out a stop to that!
1.) 30 Jul 2026 12:22:41
Hope not, or selling Bruno to us may have been the last nail for the Howe-Newcastle relationship?
Feel bad for Howe, he is a good manager, though last season's results were not good, he has done well in all his tenures.
With almost all the top PL clubs changing managers, we have a great chance to retain the title.
Let's hope for the best. ??
2.) 30 Jul 2026 14:01:51
They got Isak, Bruno, Tonnali, Hall, Livramento, so there's not much wrong in their scouting and acquisition framework. Eddie Howe is a decent manager, but imo a better calibre manager would have achieved more.
3.) 30 Jul 2026 14:40:20
Deal should be done by Sunday. Little rumour.
4.) 30 Jul 2026 20:51:20
Hi Dublin, hope all's well. My youngest son told me exactly the same thing regarding it being done by Sunday. Fingers crossed, mate.
25 Jul 2026 16:24:19
Orstein is confirming our interest in Vinicius Jr. Some interesting rumours floating around.
{Ed014's Note - current market value supposedly €140 million but contract up next year so would no doubt be less.
He's apparently on £400,000 a week and he’s unlikely to take less than that to move anywhere.
Do you think we’ll buy him Sally?
We’ll need to shift a few out that’s for sure.
1.) 25 Jul 2026 17:13:45
Lads and lasses, if we pull this off with Bruno and Alvares, we will be unstoppable this coming season.
2.) 25 Jul 2026 17:08:29
That's a fair old wedge Ed mate.I cannot see it happening personally but you never know.
I read that Josh Kroenke is going to be more involved this year in transfers.
{Ed014's Note - it will be a real push if it did happen, like you I can’t see it Bill.
Not sure in what capacity Josh would get involved as Berta is doing a great job.
3.) 25 Jul 2026 18:00:43
Ed14 this is a no brainier football wise and financially wise think of the sponsor deals the imagine rights shirt sales he has his own follows, we would pay his fee outright in shirt sales, plus make history for Arsenal with the cl this is massive for us if it comes off, anyone says we can't afford it is wrong the money will flood in trust me
{Ed014's Note - well let’s hope it happens then mate.
No one would have believed we would buy Declan for the price, so I guess it’s always a possibility.
4.) 26 Jul 2026 01:59:04
He's apparently turned down Madrid's offer of £500k/week, as reportedly he wants around £650k/week. (I converted the figures from EUR) It seems like a PSG signing, or he waits it out to force Madrid's hand and eventually renews, as I can't see any other clubs matching those numbers.
{Ed014's Note - that’s mental money
5.) 25 Jul 2026 23:23:36
I really don't know Ed14. I just hope a huge disparity in wages doesn't cause an issue.
It would certainly be a statement signing.
{Ed014's Note - I guess there’s always a disparity in wages at all clubs and as a group players will always know that but if they achieve the collective goal then is it such a huge issue.
I doubt Merino is on the same money as Saka for example but he still loves playing for the Arsenal.
6.) 26 Jul 2026 01:15:23
Rumour has it he's looking for Mbappe-level wages in his negotiations with Real Madrid. So that £400k week salary Ed would jump to £500k. Crikey.
{Ed014's Note - that’s just it, if he’s already on 400k he’s not moving for the same or less.
7.) 26 Jul 2026 06:16:47
For that money he's going to an oil club. I would love it to happen, but I just can't see it.
8.) 26 Jul 2026 09:09:00
"If you can keep your head when those around you are losing theirs."
You will still have a football club when the madness ends and their financial bubbles burst.
9.) 26 Jul 2026 09:39:21
MA to current squad: "Well done on the Prem and getting to within a penalty shoot out of the CL", but I'm bringing in a player on double your wages - he's not Prem proven, and he'll refuse to track back, which is not a problem because we are selling our whole defence to fund him, so no one there to help anyway.
Vinicius to Real - okay, I'll accept £500,000 a week.
Nothing at all to see here - just add to the fecking madness pile and assume we have no interest - paper talk COYG.
10.) 26 Jul 2026 14:13:57
Madrid take a huge cut of his image rights. We wouldn't do that, which would mean we could pay him the wages he wants.
11.) 26 Jul 2026 14:48:15
You can inherit the wind - Gunner 62 - classic.
29 Jun 2026 21:14:37
Well done our boy Gabi, 96th minute winner!
1.) 30 Jun 2026 09:55:14
Yes, Sally, good day for the Arsenal players, big Gabi providing a superb cross and Martinelli finishing well for the winner!
2.) 01 Jul 2026 15:03:30
Not so good for Hincapie yesterday!
25 Jun 2026 16:15:13
You are truly a gooner now Piero ? Glad to see a permanent deal has been signed, sealed, delivered. ? ?.
1.) 26 Jun 2026 19:49:39
Absolute bargain in this day and age, and as well, Sally.

Saw that Dublin, is he out of contract?
08 Jul 2026 12:32:59
I heard Kepa wants a move AWRAWA, so he might be 2nd choice.
08 Jul 2026 12:30:59
I think he will be ok, Dublin.

Just read The Athletic said he wants to stay with us. If his agent is hawking him around, he needs to get shot of them! Set his grandma on them lol.
11 Aug 2026 19:19:18
I really hope he's not going. He is so versatile and Arsenal to his core.
A loan, perhaps, but if he does leave, I want a buy back clause!
