Hey ed002, since we've all been so well behaved, can we have a present on the transfer front? (;
{Ed002's Note - You will be pleased that EN will likely stay after being priced out of a move to Marseille.}
1.) 12 Aug 2024 18:09:12
Hi Ed, does that mean it's unlikely we'll bring in an attacking player?
{Ed002's Note - It seems a dumb thing to do.}
2.) 12 Aug 2024 19:23:44
Fullkrug is 31 years old and has just been sold for 27m. 30m euros for Eddie is a fair fee and they didn’t want to pay it. Whilst I would have wanted him to be moved on, if clubs aren’t going to meet the valuation then so be it. The window isn’t closed yet, it’s still a possibility that he leaves.
3.) 12 Aug 2024 21:16:56
Don't rule out a move to Brentford or Bournemouth.
4.) 13 Aug 2024 01:41:53
Marseille have signed Wahi instead, he will get on well with Greenwood.
5.) 13 Aug 2024 15:01:35
Nketiah would be perfect for Bournemouth, good shout. I could see him banging them in for Palace or Brighton too.
6.) 15 Aug 2024 07:35:03
Fullkrug plays for Germany, played in both, the World Cup and European . That makes his CV better than Eddie.
12 Aug 2024 16:11:17
Hey ed002, since we've all been so well behaved, can we have a present on the transfer front? (;
{Ed002's Note - Right now it looks like Nketiah will stay after pricing him out of a move to Marseille.}

From the european pages:
Gabriel Magalhaes (CB) Arsenal have rejected an approach from Juventus. PSG may make an approach and Arsenal have been looking at a potential replacement.
William Saliba (CB) Arsenal remain concerned that Saliba will look to move to PSG who remain keen.
D:
1.) 17 Jul 2024 19:03:09
Saliba and Magalhaes are our back bone loose them and we are going backwards. I am sure the club and Arteta are aware of this and will do everything they can to hold onto them at least Arteta will do not so sure about the club if a big money offer comes in.
2.) 17 Jul 2024 22:45:06
I'm sure we will do our best to keep them, but generally players are free to move if they really want to. Let's hope they stay.

Hi Ed002.
Lots of rumours about Balogun seem to be flying about these days. I had a quick look with the search function and found:
"Folarin Balogun (S) Arsenal will likely let him leave with Marseille, Inter, MIlan and Villareal scouting him - may be a mistake by Arsenal. Villareal will propose a loan to buy option which will not suit Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah will be ahead of him in the pecking order so it would be a good time to move on. Riem cannot afford him. There will also be interest from Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace. }"
As you posted this early May, I was wondering if I might be cheeky enough to ask if anything has changed?
{Ed002's Note - Folarin Balogun (S) Arsenal will likely let him leave with Napoli, Marseille, Inter, RBL, MIlan and Villareal scouting him - may be a mistake by Arsenal. Villareal will propose a loan to buy option which will not suit Arsenal. Monaco might provide a wildcard option. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah will be ahead of him in the pecking order so it might be a good time to move on. Riems cannot afford him. There will also be interest from Premier League clubs, including Brighton, Crystal Palace and Fulham. Agents have approached and spoken with Chelsea and Newcastle, and perhaps others.}
1.) 09 Jul 2023 10:48:40
I really can't decide if I feel this is a good decision to sell him or not. Whilst there might be promise there I haven't seen anywhere near enough to indicate he's in contention for a starting spot. Granted he done well in France howeber lacazette also had a very good season there and we all know he didn't cut it over here enough.
40-50m might be far too good to refuse.
2.) 10 Jul 2023 03:01:36
Thanks Mr002!
Im not sure i've ever seen him kick a ball, D16, so I really can't comment, would like the lad to get a seasons chance though assuming we don't sign a more established striker.
3.) 10 Jul 2023 08:13:22
Just saw that you'd very recently posted this on the chelski page, doh, sorry and thanks!
29 Jun 2023 08:29:29
Hi ed002, will Declan Rice's imminent arrival end our interest in Caicedo / Lavia?
{Ed002's Note - Certainly for Caicedo, not so sure about Lavia but Arsenal will not be able to offer him a starting role.}
1.) 29 Jun 2023 09:50:18
That’s weird only 24-48 hrs ago Jamie o hara laughing at Arsenal saying city are signing him and Arsenal lost a one horse race. How does that clown get air time?
2.) 29 Jun 2023 10:57:20
Thanks ed. Hope Caicedo stays at brighton then and doesn't sign for your lot, I think he's going to become very very good indeed.
3.) 29 Jun 2023 17:44:39
Is ed002 a Chelsea supporter? Did not know that.
{Ed014's Note - no change there for you then Sharpie! ?

14, I just don't subscribe to teen gossip magazine like you do ?.

Suits sharpie though! ?

There should be a tribunal I could take you two to.
P. S. We've seen worse spellings on here.
P. P. S. I'm shocked you have a friend. Is his name Drop Dead Fred?

Please everyone take a look at the liverpool page.
RIP Ed002, the most infamous gentleman explorer of our time.
I will miss his comedy, his insights, and the times I risked being beaten down like a whack-a-mole to get the craic with him.
To the finest example of a gentleman and a scholar, we raise a glass of whisky!
1.) 16 Nov 2024 04:55:42
Wtf! That's the worst news I've heard in years! what the actual fuck! I can't believe it! I'm heartbroken, that's absolute bull, I loved that guy! My best wishes, thoughts and prayers to all his friends and family. I hope wherever he is, whoever he's with, whenever anyone asks him a stupid question, any moron wasting his time, God, or whoever, he tells them to RTFP's.
2.) 16 Nov 2024 05:20:05
Condolences to his family and friends
Take care Trish and all the Ed’s
RIP the king.
3.) 16 Nov 2024 12:42:59
RIP Ed002. Didn't know much about you, but know that when you were spoken to reasonably, you responded in kind. That means a lot in my book. Godspeed!
4.) 16 Nov 2024 16:14:48
RIP Ed002! Transfer windows won’t be the same without you! I used to pass on loads of his posts to my mates to put them right mainly regarding transfers and finances. As Sharoie said ask a question with respect you always got a respectful response. Used to make sure I’d read the pages before asking a question and my favourite response was always RTFP! Legend and will be missed . Condolences to his family and friends.
5.) 16 Nov 2024 18:17:55
RIP ed002 great loss to the site. Always liked to read his updates.
30 Sep 2023 17:49:22
"Gooner123: I’m guessing you lot are all clicky then"
He is vodka then, he's using the same curious misspelling of cliquey. Wodbod = Vodka martinnelli, and the mystery is solved.
{Ed014's Note - he’s been banned
1.) 30 Sep 2023 17:59:24
Be back in a bit with a new one lol.
{Ed014's Note - I know ?
2.) 30 Sep 2023 18:05:40
Tbf, I don't think I would have guessed that's how it's spelt! ?.
3.) 30 Sep 2023 18:50:23
Who’s banned Ed?
{Ed014's Note - gunnerbod, wodbod, gunner123 and any other name he uses.
Tris told ed33 to get rid.
4.) 30 Sep 2023 18:58:19
That’s great news
Well done the Ed’s.

Ox, you dodged a bullet there, mate.

I’m borrowing your Kevlar vest chap.

The CIES metrics placed Saka as the third most expensive player, potentially commanding a fee of 195.8m euros (£168.7m) .
Apparently the 3rd most expensive player in the world after haaland and vicinius. don't want to sell the lad, but it's cool we start having a squad full of valuable assets again.
1.) 06 Jun 2023 21:00:08
Also Martenelli is 12th, valued at £131.5m ?.
2.) 06 Jun 2023 22:45:06
Rambo the most valuable GK in the world, €78.4m!
3.) 07 Jun 2023 20:26:31
That’s how you know the list is wrong when it has ramsdale as the most valuable GK. He’s good but definitely the most valuable and I can’t imagine any club paying anything near that for him in a million years.
4.) 08 Jun 2023 02:02:00
Haha fuser I thought the same thing as soon as I read that!
5.) 08 Jun 2023 07:19:42
Arsenal should be the ones dictating their players values irrespective of CIES.
I’m sure Tony Bloom wasn’t referring to their ‘metrics’ when we came knocking for Whyte and certainly not Caicedo.
As far as selling players goes we are a mixed bag. Good deals for Willock and Iwobi but far too often we don’t get value at all.
If we bought Ben Whyte for £50M then I want to see Newcastle pay close to that for Tierney otherwise I’d seriously question how this club values it’s assets and negotiates because anything under £40M selling to a league rival would be pure folly in this instance.
6.) 08 Jun 2023 09:56:40
Most valuable doesn't mean the best tho, it's only because he has just signed a new long-term contract and he is so young that he is top of that list.
if all the keepers were on the same length contract then he would not be top of that list.
07 May 2023 23:14:54
Everton away, Chelsea at home, Brighton away, Brentford away.
I can see them dropping 2 points, 5 I still reckon is within the realm of miracles. got to hope Madrid give them a hell of a game.
1.) 08 May 2023 09:50:09
I think all we need to worry about is getting 90pts mate, as long as we do that then we have done absolutely everything we can possibly do and fate will decide where that leaves us after 38 games.
2.) 08 May 2023 18:34:57
90 points is all we can do.
Was just wondering if anyone was brave enough to speculate on the opposition. Everton peaking a game early.
3.) 08 May 2023 20:39:59
Chelsea is a gimme - Everton and Brentford are interesting.
{Ed025's Note - i hope we do what we did to brighton today SY.. :)
4.) 09 May 2023 00:01:16
That’s would be great for both of us and we best Forest ?.
02 May 2023 19:17:35
Feels peaceful this evening, first time in a while I will just enjoy the game and not be attached to any outcomes. hope they play with the same attitude.
13 Dec 2024 01:08:39
I'm sure I read he wanted Southgate at United, i hope we steer clear.
02 Dec 2024 19:32:24
Whilst Trossard is a good squad player and I've not given up on Martinelli entirely, we definitely need to sign a starter for LW. A striker too, in case anyone forgot. (;
17 Jul 2024 22:45:06
I'm sure we will do our best to keep them, but generally players are free to move if they really want to. Let's hope they stay.
22 Jun 2024 17:33:51
Is one of those reports possibly from ed002 in the post below? (;
18 Jun 2024 01:49:31
Thanks ed002 - you're a gentleman and a scholar, sir. Who'd be your pick of the bunch?
{Ed002's Note - I am told Maximilian Mittelstadt is a good option - you can watch him at the Euros.}
11 Dec 2024 23:56:10
Ed14, is dublin the reincarnation of vodka martinelli or is Mal on the wind up?
{Ed014's Note - I don’t know SW as it’s easy to change VPN’s.
It’s odd that he immediately digs Mal out and that he does pretty immature things like this thread.
Guess who the fantastic two are ffs! ?♂️
10 Dec 2024 19:45:39
Well I am fantastic, and I won't let you tell me otherwise (;
10 Dec 2024 01:12:46
I think we urgently need a starting LW and a Striker.
03 Dec 2024 23:32:11
Oh but it did indeed read like the most amicable of gentleman, blessed to be endowed with both impeccable self awareness and a great wealth of footballing knowledge, popping over for an intelligent conversation. don't doubt yourself, RedBelly, we recognise you, and our heartfelt congratulations on yet another quadruple!
03 Dec 2024 20:38:10
It's hard to argue with you, ed025, especially as we're massively reliant on ode, saka and our two cbs, but my red tinted glasses tell me that liverpool are due a wobble and that we are bang on form to pounce.
At least, let's see what Santa has in store.
{Ed025's Note - i really wish i could tell you different SW, Liverpool look very strong mate and even if they get injuries they have players of a similar ilk to step in and thats the difference with the Arsenal im afraid, if you can stay injury free or maybe bring in a couple of quality players in in January then things could change of course, but at the moment thats a big ask...but i wish you every luck in the world..
