ED Can you point me to where, I don't have the luxury of being on here daily

Thanks ever so much in advance.

Hi Banbury - Go to the rumours page and where it says Eds Notes Search put in Ed002 - down the page is a comprehensive list of who we are or are not interested in COYG.

I just don't get it.. can anyone here logically explain to me why we haven't snapped up Ollie Watkins?

Proven, team player, tonnes of goals, would complete our attack, reasonably priced.

Surely the addition of Watkins would be the type of move that makes us an unquestionable attacking force.

26 Jul 2024 16:46:33
I agree he would be good, but would he be reasonably priced? Do Villa want or need to sell him?

26 Jul 2024 21:57:19
Can't imagine Villa will let him go for less than 70m. Better options out there surely.

Hoping we sign Gyokeres, Calafiori and Merino

Would love Nico William but 4 May be stretching it.

Improving back 4 especially LB is essential, CM is essential as not replacing Granit was a huge mistake and we can't just have Havertz and Jesus as our attack. Neither would get into City starting 11 but ok as squad strikers / options.

Personally would like a more consistent threat from left wing as we lack a bit of consistency there.

Need to get out the gate fast and strong as margins are tiny and to keep players like Saliba, Saka, Ode etc is simple -> start winning trophies not no trophies as no one cares who comes second or third. When these guys retire - they want trophies not "we almost did it in 24"

Let's be brave in the transfer market and brave on the pitch - Southgate showed the problem of being too scared of not losing rather than wanting to win and I think Arteta has been like that a little which means we have a good season and "in the race" but not really. This could be our year!

Be brave, Be one, Be winners ❤️ 🤍.

Hello Sy hope you are well. I enjoy your posts as it makes me think but I disagree on lots of it. We both want to win obviously. However the striker to buy just to get in City`s 11 ahead of Haaland is. No-one I would suggest. I am hoping everyone is right and we need a 20 goal a season striker but not at the expense of potentially scoring less goals! Martinelli can`t be as poor this season ( Evening Mal) but Tross was superb last season and numbers excellent. Improving LB yes but rest of defence were excellent last season.

Calafiori just needs his medical now i think. Don`t think we are ever scared of not losing - we always give it a go which is why I love this club and its ethos. Last season away at City should have been a fantastic championship winning point ( although agree we parked the bus) had we not messed up v Villa. Had we gone toe to toe away at C£ty ( they are quite useful themselves) and lost the title would have gone and out of our hands! A judgement call that went wrong v Villa. Maybe can be construed as not being brave - one game not the season.

We only lost against Villa since the new year in the Prem which is near perfection - at NO point did I feel we were just trying to stay in race and not being brave. One defeat since new year does seem a bit churlish to say we either bottled it ( Bollox) or weren`t brave enough (also Bollox) . As you say we have to Be Brave Be as One which can lead to us being Winners.

PS just can`t see Williams coming Barcelona bound if he moves
PPS Kai to score 18-20 goals without penalties this Prem season COYG.

I would like Gyokeres and zubimendi over the other lad didn’t really think much of him in the euros apart from the last minute goal didn’t impress me, I think Williams is a no as he wants Barca, I think the new lad Gyokeres and zubi and we are champions and maybe cl winners too.

Not long now to the Prem start! Just wanted to hear whether like me you think Arsenal are missing a trick here. Not long ago we sold Omari Hutcinson to Chelsea who promptly loaned him to Ipswich for a season and then sold him to Ipswich for around £20 mill. It now looks like United are going to purchase Chido Obi-Martin -a prodigious talent - promising him what? More game time quicker route to first team? Can`t see it they have Zirkzee and Hojland way in front of him. Thinking if they follow the Hutcinson route they`ll loan him out and sell him. Why are we not loaning him out and if he`s good we keep him if not so much we can sell him. It`s baffling to me but maybe he`s not happy which is why he wants to move. Anyone else confused with this? COYG.

Hello Sussex mate.
Read a article over the weekend, not sure if it was Just Arsenal, Le Grove or something in that vein, saying the family or people representing the young kid are being extremely difficult to, deal with and we made him extremely good offer but they turned it down and wanted quite a costly contract.
There might be other reasons in play but this was put up on one of the websites.

22 Jul 2024 18:28:43
Happy we offered what we offered in which case Bill but also thought Balogun was the next big thing but he went for £35 mill for us but guess he`d signed for us. If the lad won`t sign we can`t force him and he`ll go. Not true in every industry but in mine those that follow just the money are not for me. Got to want to be at Arsenal - shame as he`s good and we`ve put time and effort into improving him. Regardless good luck to the lad. What will be will be COYG.

22 Jul 2024 18:59:01
He's 16 and can't even sign a pro contract with English clubs yet. Played for our u-18's right? Sounds a bit mental if a kid at that stage really was after money already but sadly i can see it being perfectly possible.

22 Jul 2024 23:02:21
Iceman, Liverpool are apparently going to break their youth wage structure to sign a 15 y/ o Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea.

23 Jul 2024 12:24:00
Would be nice to keep hold of talents like this, and totally not sure why he's chosen to leave. If it's because he didn't like the offer presented to him, then wish him well and send him on his merry way.

In other news, I know it's early days, but I can hardly wait to see who we get through the door this season.

Anyone seen that video of Nuno Tavares and his dogs? To put it mildly, that guy is really, really weird.

18 Jul 2024 23:52:22
My dog licks my face, but that clip is hella weird! I wish I hadn't googled it. Should have just taken you at your word about him being a weirdo!

Sooo creepy, time to ship him out.

17 Jul 2024 11:11:55
While i will be sad to see ESR go, it his good to actually see us trying to get a decent fee for a change. Once we clear the decks i am sure the new players will come in.
