Hi Eds,

Is James Rodriguez really available and have Arsenal shown any interest in him (now or previously) ?

BKKGooner

{Ed001's Note - he is available but no. I know Arsene likes to collect attacking midfielders, but he has been found out at Madrid as not being anywhere near as good as the hype. With the price Madrid are looking for, he is not of interest to Arsenal.}

Ed, I don't really watch La Liga but, like everyone else, I was impressed with most of his goals at the World Cup - long shots and great solo runs!

I know he's not rated as much these days and when you say he's been found out, what are his flaws since he obviously has talent. Is he inconsistent and can have too many games where he doesn't turn up? Or was it simply that he was at top form at the WC and he doesn't usually play anywhere near that well?

My bad, as I finish typing this, I realise this isn't really Arsenal related so may not get a reply.

Thanks Ed.

{Ed001's Note - sorry TPG my bad for not answering. He plays well in international footie where there is ample space and the game is slow. In club football he is too slow to keep pace with the game, not just foot speed, but mentally, and games tend to pass him by. He does still score the odd screamer though.}

Cheers ed :) yeah that makes sense, loads slower pace at the WC compared to even la liga - surely he'd be even worse in the premier league since it's extremely fast paced and can get quite ugly with less time for beautiful football.

Hi Eds,

The Mustafi rumour is picking up again today with several sources claiming that the fee has been agreed and he will have a medical next week. Can you confirm if there is any truth in this? Many thanks.

{Ed001's Note - no idea sorry.}

I'm still not sure why we've let this drag on for so long, either get it over the line or move on to other targets. There is plenty of CBs out there who'd be fantastic for us.


2.) 19 Aug 2016 13:38:38
Isn't Mustafi injured? It makes llittle sense to sign a much needed CB who can't play immediately. Perhaps this explains the holdup?

Valencia need to sell and we need to buy but they want 40 million Euros. Wenger doesn't think he is worth that so they are haggling.
Year after year we pay the price for not doing our business early. Bayern secured Hummels in June .
We need a top class striker. Why can't Wenger just throw 100M at Bayern or Athletico and take Lewandoski or Greizman.

Were going to end up with Jonny Evans and Gabriel Agbonlahor : (

Everyone seems to be watching and getting frustrated with this CB chase now - not just us gooners!

It is so annoying how stubborn Wenger is. I've always defended him and I still stand by him but he has got to keep up with the financial times. I can see his point but, realistically, even if we found a world class CB for £1 mill - is any human being worth 1 million pounds, whether he can kick a ball well or not? All things considered, AW needs to realise that the market is ludicrous and in order to buy players and advance, you have to pay over the odds and can only compare prices with other transfer happenings - not the real world!

Top signings take time and before Mertesacker and Gabriel were injured, we had our CB's for the season. It sounds like we are negotiating with the club and the player, hopefully with a conclusion coming soon.

Lewandowski has no interest in joining the PL, not until he wants one last big pay day when he is 30 plus.

Hi Eds,

Are any of you still with us? :' (.

Haha maybe he was asking if you've passed on to the other side Ed 😂.

Thank you, Ed. Is this 'uncertainty' one of the (main) factors that is putting Ozil and Sanchez off from renewing their contracts?

BKKGooner

{Ed001's Note - it is certainly a major contributing factor. Makes it very difficult for a player, as the new man coming in might have no plan to use them at all. He might be someone brought in on the cheap with the aim of merely keeping a top four place when Ozil and Sanchez want winner's medals.}

This is appalling and I can't believe people are now saying that signing Evans won't be a bad option. The point is we are the Arsenal and we shouldn't even be considering second tier players like Evans and we sould be going for world class or closest as we can get.

BKKGooner

{Ed025's Note - im with you BKK, first thing i ask myself after going to a game is have i been entertained?, if i had gone to leicester today the answer would be,,NO, too many lightweights and under achievers in this side.."something is rotten in the city of woolwich" as shakespear would say..very poor imo mate..

Poldi was assigned mostly on the left wing for some reason. don't know why Wenger didn't use him more as central striker.
