Ed 002, i know you said Arsenal haven't approached West Ham over Declan Rice, but do Arsenal hold an interest in him? Thx in advance (y)

AWRAWA

{Ed002's Note - Declan Rice (DM) There may remain interest from Manchester United but they signed Casemiro so their need is less now. The interest of Manchester City went with the signing of Kalvin Phillips although I would not totally discount them. Chelsea lost out on their preferred target last summer and the club is supportive of looking again to have Declan Rice return to Chelsea, something that I understand may be acceptable to the player. If Arsenal were to move Xhaka and Elneny on then they would have space in the squad, but they have yet to declare an interest with West Ham. A wildcard would be Bayern Munich. West Ham will resist a move, but if the player were to push for it they would have to reconsider that position. The player has rejected offers to sign a new contract. Will be significantly expensive. I am not aware of any discussions for a cut price deal with Liverpool as some of their fans have suggested.}

Rice and Mason Mount are beasties which if Mount stays at Chelsea might give them an edge.

Hi Ed002, are you considering doing one of your super summaries of the Arsenal comings and goings for the January window? . please. pretty please :)

Thank you Mr Edward the 2nd, you kind sir, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ruben Neves?

AWRAWA

1.) 07 Aug 2022 12:26:42
Yesss like him as well.


2.) 07 Aug 2022 13:20:24
Would absolutely love Neves to join. Wolves though would ask for a ridiculous amount of money for him so i can't see it happening.


3.) 08 Aug 2022 09:01:19
Neves
Yes please take him in a heartbeat.

Hi Ed, apparently West Ham have agreed a fee for Onana. You previously said that he was being offered to Arsenal, are we interested in the player - have we potentially lost a target, or were we never in for him?

Thanks!

Reading that Sevilla are interested in Pepe, be great for him to get a fresh start. Any other news on outgoings? I see that Bellerin and Torreria have been heavily involved in the US tour, could they be staying? I think they still have a place at Arsenal.

AWRAWA

Hector Bellerin was woeful last night. I lost count how many times he ran the ball out of play and he kopped out early in the second half and just resorted to persistent fouling on Gordon before the guy could get turned and expose him.
When he did actually run with purpose into their box he lost the run of the ball completely and fouled.
A complete step backwards if he stays, he’s had ample time and opportunity and isn’t up to it, as much as I’d loved to have seen him kick on because he's never let the club down as an individual.
I think the arrival time of Tomiyasu has highlighted how poor we’ve been in this position since Sagna left.
Torreira should be given a chance but Arteta seems very harsh on him for some reason. Like he’s a better all round player than Elneny yet Arteta gives him no chance. That’s a weird one.


2.) 17 Jul 2022 22:01:05
The Bellerin one is weird. On the one hand, he was obviously good for Betis, as a starter in many of their games in a historic season for them. On the other, he's clearly been pretty poor since he lost his pace with the ACL tear and has been getting cooked time and again by average wingers. Clearly Betis didn't feel he was good enough for them to take up their option. I think even Cedric played better than Hector.

As for Torreira, I think he's mostly burnt his bridges with us so it's probably a question of putting him in the shop window. I still think he's a good player though. Would like to see him give it a proper go, without all the caustic comments about us.


3.) 18 Jul 2022 23:03:35
As Ed keeps mentioning, we can’t keep signing more and more players without letting some go. I can’t see either being in our plans, and surely they are just being played in these friendlies so they remain in the shop window?

Be interested to know if the situation behind the scenes has improved as things have definitely improved on the pitch. I know Ed previously said there were big problems, and in a recent reply suggested there were some unhappy bunny's. All the chatter from Mikel, players past and present, and media seems to suggest things are all rosey.

AWRAWA

{Ed014's Note - I’d agree we had some unhappy bunnies, but only when we had the likes of Auba, Ozil, Mustafi, Guendouzi, Bellerin and Torriera but they’ve all moved on.

If Lokonga is now our only unhappy bunny, which may or may not be the case, I really don’t mind that at all.

The squad seems united with the manager and whilst its been suggested our setup at board room level isn’t ideal it seems to be working fine as far as recruitment goes.

So personally I’m not either bothered nor interested in those suggestions.


1.) 11 Oct 2022 18:42:26
Just reading from Ornstein that Edu has turned down approaches from other clubs to stay with us.

Perhaps Ed meant AMN? And there was talk of Gabriel (not Martinelli) being unsettled a while ago.

{Ed014's Note - I just think things are much more together, especially the players, than is being suggested.

Gabriel seems more than happy and AMN isn’t even getting game time at Southampton so I’m going with what I see Sally.


2.) 12 Oct 2022 13:10:25
Completely agree ed14. I think the situation under josh's watch has improved compared to when his dad was more involved. Much more cohesion at management level with everyone seeming to be pulling in the same direction now.

Sadly I think the ship has sailed for AMN, I don't see him being able to cut it at the very highest level.

{Ed014's Note - that’s the way I’m seeing it for sure and totally agree on AMN, never considered him as good enough.

Eddie and Elneny both signed. Good for squad depth, not great if the plan is to use them regularly in 1st team.

AWRAWA

1.) 30 May 2022 08:28:00
Where does it say Eddie has signed mate.


2.) 30 May 2022 09:28:17
I’ve seen the pictures too and I’m sure it was on sky sports too.


3.) 30 May 2022 09:32:34
I thought it was the official Arsenal Facebook page but just checked back and it was actually a fan page 'Arsenal fc news wrap' - supposedly signed until 2027.let's wait and see.


 

 

25 Jan 2022 00:42:39
Jack Wilshere has been training and travelling with the squad. is there any intention for him to join us?

AWRAWA

1.) 25 Jan 2022 07:20:07
I hope not - he’s had his time.


2.) 25 Jan 2022 20:33:31
No mate, pretty sure he is there to make up midfield numbers for drills etc.

Hey Eds, is there any plans to update the mobile.arsenalrumours.co.uk site?

AWRAWA

{Ed033's Note - Try visiting arsenalrumours.co.uk instead, it can cope with mobile phones.

So Auba contracted malaria while on international duty. That guy has had some rotten luck lately. he's saying all the right things, so I think he still genuinely has a drive to get back to playing like his old ways. WIshing him a speedy recovery!

AWRAWA

1.) 16 Apr 2021 21:17:56
I wish him a speedy recovery as well though to be fair, he hasn't been anything like the player we signed for sometime.

would be gutted if we lost Saliba, and even though Gabriel has a few mistakes in him, i think he'd be a huge loss too. Hopefully we can keep hold of them.

No thank you! Skillful player but his attitude isn't the vibe we need in the dressing room.

AWRAWA

{Ed014's Note - wow a huge no from me! That’s gotta be a load of hog wash!

. and then we complain that it's all taking too long when in actual fact we should be asking how on earth do they manage to get multiple deals through in a single transfer window. I don't know about anyone else but multimillion investments at my place of work would take considerably longer!

Seeing that a deal in principle has been agreed with Tielemans but it's dependent on departures - could be a number of different players but clubs preference is to move on Xhaka and Torreria.

In the words of Rio: "get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there"!

Not sure if it was the same interview that you read but saw one he gave with S*nSport which was very candid and I thought he came across very well. Not scared to ruffle a few feathers, knowing the clubs attitude was rotten to the core and needed a big shake up. You certainly can see the improvement and the 'vision'. Here's to more good things to come.
