Ed, 'IF' Allergi does become Arsenals manager this summer, would it have an impact on what Sanchez does? Surely if Wenger does decide to move on, the board would let the next manager decide the fate of our big stars. I would assume Allergi is a fan of Sanchez being he's been link with Juventus for quite some time even if the Juva board have the say of who comes and goes, surely the manager has some input.
{Ed002's Note - I think because the fans have turned the players will have priorities which include the options available.}

Hey Eds, is there any interest in Reus or Gotze? Both young and talented. I feel arsenal could benefit from having an out and out winger.
{Ed002's Note - Try the European pages where this has been answered.}

I'm hearing a lot about Fabregas. Is there any chance of a return to Arsenal?
{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer questions with "any chance" in.}
1.) Hopefully not. He walked out on us, when he had 3 years left on his contract and was captain. The Barca fans have turned against him, as the team has to be modified to fit him in and he lacks pace. We have plenty of players in his position and are more in need of better defensive midfield options, such as Bender & M'Vila, who could replace the slow duo of Arteta & Flamini.
2.) You realise that this isn't Fifa? It really doesn't matter whether Cesc is "slow". He could be standing still and he would be class.
3.) You would take Mvia over Cesc? Madness. Bender is good and I would sign him but I would get Cesc in and ship of Cazorla myself.
4.) I don't think wenger is going to sell any players, only those that will walk.
we need depth and bringing in bender and josip drmic and hopefully cesc and a striker should be enough to go again next season.
5.) Chess - As a defensive midfield player sitting in front of the back four, of course I would take M'Vila instead of Fabregas. We have Ozil, Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Oxlade, Ramsey & Abu Diaby who can all play the Fabregas role. Possibly in some cases not as well, but we need to spend in other areas, as we look like needing a keeper, a right back, a centre back, a defensive midfield player & a striker.

We definitely need someone who can really pick out the killer balls. Too many times I'm screaming for our midfield to set someone free when they make a good run only for the ball to go sideways.
It's as if they don't seem brave enough or sure of their ability to try it. We've all seen Cesc and know that he can play those killer through balls. Older and wiser now and scoring more.
I would certainly add that to the mix. You can never have too many good ingrediants.

Hey Ed. What do you think the chances are of seeing Rooney and Fabregas playing for Arsenal next year. Personally can't see Arsenal paying Rooney's wages or seeing Barcelona off loading Fabreagas but can't stop thinking what if. {Ed007's Note - None.}

Hey Ed, I’m a big fan of Nkunku and he’s not playing much at Chelsea. I’ve seen him linked to Arsenal but u never know what’s true and what’s not. Heard anything and thoughts?
{Ed001's Note - he is unhappy with playing time, they might be forced to sell him, but it looks like it will be in the summer. That gives them time to persuade him to stay by him getting a bit more game time.}

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.}

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.
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.

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?
