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?

SirWenger

{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.}

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!

Hi ed002, will Declan Rice's imminent arrival end our interest in Caicedo / Lavia?

SirWenger

{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 ?.

{Ed014's Note - knobber! ??


5.) 29 Jun 2023 19:37:05
??? Sharpie by name Sharpie by …. Oh wait! Knobber Ed - Classic COYG.

{Ed014's Note - I have a constant argument with a mate who insists it should be “nobber” but I’m not having that! ?

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?

Hi ed2, can I ask who we're looking at for CB?

SirWenger

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware that anything has changed from what I have said previously.}

Any truth in our interest in Aaron hickey, ed?

SirWenger

{Ed002's Note - Aaron Hickey (LWB) Last season Celtic were looking to take Hickey back from Hearts with a huge amount of interest being shown by Premier League sides such as Crystal Palace, Southampton, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle by watching him. Eintract Frankfurt, Lazio and Bologna also showed an interest. He opted to a move to Bologna. He is doing well after suffering injury last season and Bologna have no interest in selling - although Lazio remain keen but he is not first choice. Milan have him as one of a couple of options they will look to if they lose Hernandez. Less attractive to English teams now. I am not aware of any approach by Arsenal - and he would not want to be cover.}


1.) 15 May 2022 23:33:17
With the amount of injuries tierny gets, i'm not sure he would be cover XD.


2.) 16 May 2022 11:36:09
Think he can play rb and lb. Imagine he would get loads of game time with the amount of injuries we have at the back.


 

 

29 Mar 2022 00:13:59
Hi ed002, do we have any interest in Martinez from inter?

SirWenger

{Ed002's Note - Lautaro Martinez (S) Inter don't want to sell and long-term admirers Barcelona and Manchester City are looking elsewhere although Barcelona would still like to add him in the summer, but significant sales would still be required. Real Madrid are trying to convince Inter to sell and will offer an assortment of players they no longer want in exchange. Atletico Madrid are interested if he becomes available but money would be an issue without a major sale - perhaps Joao Felix. There is support for him from an ex-Chelsea player who was a potential Director of Football at the club but he would be a little down the list of targets Chelsea has as they look to add a second striker. PSG could look to him if they lose Mbappe, which they probably will. Interest of Spurs Spurs and Arsenal will go nowhere as the player would also want Champions League football. Agent has been in London and Madrid talking to Premier League clubs. A move to Spain will be preferred if Inter can be persuaded to sell.}


1.) 31 Mar 2022 07:35:12
Very interesting insight Ed. With Athletico Madrid running into financial issues and Joao Felix being potentially available for sale. Do you see Arsenal being interested in a move like that? The financials involved would be huge. Who has shown interest in Joao?

Thanks as always for the wonderful work ED002. Have a great one!

{Ed002's Note - Joao Felix (AM/F) An approach for him from Barcelona was rejected in the summer although they will return. Manchester City see him and another as a potential Aguero replacement rather than recruiting a Kane or Martinez type striker. Juventus and Inter have enquired after a loan as Atletico need to reduce their wage bill. Barcelona interest will persist.}

"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.

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.

SirWenger

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.

SirWenger

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 ?.

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.

Why am I allowed to call ed14 a twot but not criticize incorrect VAR decisions? Quit disappearing my posts!

Ps: Ben White was pushed at the back post, goal never should have stood (;

SirWenger

{Ed014's Note - when did you call me a twot as I’m not having that!?

I didn’t delete your post but can see it and totally agree, didn’t even look like a close call, he looked a mile off!


1.) 29 Apr 2023 20:56:43
Yeah! Stop calling him a twot! That's actually kind of mean.

{Ed014's Note - exactly and I know you’d never dream of calling me that!


2.) 30 Apr 2023 19:39:33
Not to your face. You'd probably twot me.

{Ed014's Note - ??


3.) 30 Apr 2023 21:48:55
I never said I'd called you a twot, ed14, only asked why I'm allowed to call you a twot. (;

{Ed014's Note - ahh I see, but how do you even know you’re allowed to call me a twot? ?

Neither White nor Tomi really looked all that convincing at RB, and I was hoping Timber was for CB, so I'm pretty happy with this news!
Read Timber player inverted RB against the 'all stars' - anyone who watched want to give me their review?

Any legs to this rumour (Moussa Diaby) , Ed002?

I checked and you mentioned interest in January, and the possibility of his summer availability.

SirWenger

{Ed002's Note - Moussa Diaby (LW/RW) Bayer Leverkusen were approached about the player by Borussia Dortmund last season but no more than that. They have no interest in selling unless a very significant offer of something like €70M were made and have rejected a significant offer from Aston Villa, who may return with another. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Real Madrid have sent scouts but each think the asking price too high. Was due to be replaced by Mykhaylo Mudryk last summer, but that never happened. Arsenal remain keen. A wildcard option may be a return to PSG. Newcastle are very interested but a move there would be a regression and I am sure being in the Champions League would be a consideration. Manchester United offer another wildcard solution. ASton Villa face an uphill battle to convince the player, but will keen trying.

Draw, but i'd take a Liverpool win - they're much more likely to drop points elsewhere.
Either way, we still got to take at least a point at the Etihad.

Very naive going for the winner in the last minute of the first leg. Porto masters of anti football, going to be a very tricky return leg.

Honestly though why did we have the draw the Portuguese team? I literally fell asleep.

Portuguese opposition will be a good test for us, they are masters of breaking the game up into frustratingly infrequent snippets.
