Hi ED's,
I did ask a while ago after hearing a rumour from a friend of a friend, but is there likely to be any movement with Turan now?
If we can't get Mahrez, would AFC consider Turan a viable second option or an option at all?
{Ed001's Note - he is likely to leave, but Arsenal had not shown interest up until now.}

hi Ed001 don't wanna sound like a lemon but when you say had not shown interest up until now.
Do you mean that stance has changed recently, sorry just wanted to clarify as I would for 1 would like turan to arsenal.
{Ed001's Note - no, I mean you haven't shown any interest up until now. I can't tell what might happen in the future but so far nothing.}

I believe Arsenal are only looking to sign a striker. We may consider a CB, now Mertesacker is out. I cannot see us signing any further midfield players, defensive or offensive, as we have plenty.

Completely agree with you RG
Just sitting down having a smoke after work and tbh it's not that I'm stoned but I have a strong feeling we will get lacazette, I think Lyon are playing hard ball it's there most prized assett and you would be stupid to let him go for 29.8 or 31 mill when higuaons just sold for 75 I believe and some obese numbers being quoted for pogba I reckon Wenger wants to sign out on a high, he will by a striker for sure, however will it be someone of the level we are craving, we'll just have to wait and see and come on boys crack the banter a bit more and perk up its summer and we're all sounding like we are chelsea and Tottenham fans ripping us on our own page but hey give Wenger a chance until the windows over atleast he might spring a ozil out the bag, because that caught us all by surprise.

Absolutely, Xhaka - I think now the Higuain deal has gone through, Pogba's deal will finally be tied up. Then Man U, will have to start selling to offset Pogba's fee. Although I am not a great fan of Blind, he might be a good utility player. Can he play at RB? A CB can be signed and there are a few options.
Up front is a difficult position, as Lacazette surely isn't worth an inflated £40m+, even in the current market. The problem is that there is a complete shortage of strikers and having to pay a huge fee, for a back up striker to Giroud, is simply absurd. Vardy would have made sense, as at £20m, he would have been decent value in today's market and he could have covered from the flanks as well. Jovetic might be a decent shout.
