Hey Ed002 I hope you're well? I'm sure you've said on many occasions that monreal will leave and that it's time for him to move on, but I read that we are "desperate for him to sign a new contract to avoid losing him for nothing" is this nonsense or has our stance changed, thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Yes my expectation is that Monreal will leave and certainly Real Sociedad are willing to take him on. I am not really hip to contract discussions and would need to ask, but unless Arsenal wish to keep him there is no impetus for him to sign a new deal if Arsenal want to then sell him at a profit. If Arsenal start looking to treat players in such a way, then it will become harder to recruit players.}

Thanks for the info Ed 😊.

There were reports at the end of last season that the club were looking to acquire a left back, so it comes as no surprise that we are still looking at left backs, such as Tagliafico at Ajax. As far as Monreal goes, he will be 34 in February and has always lacked the pace needed for a top modern full/ wing back. He can fill in at CB as we have seen, which is a plus.
With players leaving this summer, such as Cech and Ramsey, others underperforming, simply not good enough or do not fit into Emery's methods, I believe that with a limited budget, particularly if we fail to qualify for nest season's CL, we may have to retain certain players, even if they are not ideal. Amongst these may fall Monreal.
We clearly need a CB, a wide attacking player and a creative mdfield player. With the reported £40m budget, I cannot see more than 3 signings, hence Monreal may have to be retained, assuming he wants to stay.

Seri to Fulham seems like a massive coup for them!

Good morning eds, any news on adil?

OK thanks mate.

all the info i have seem on the length of ozil, mikhi and aubas contracts seems to be 3 and a half years, is this right? it seems mad to only tie down your record signing and the player you have broken your wage structure for to reasonably short contracts, we will have to give them massive pay rises again in 2 years or risk going through the same thing as we have this year all over again. especially as ozil knows how to play it to a tee.
1.) 02 Feb 2018 01:32:51
I think age might have a factor they are all approaching 30 so makes sense.
2.) 02 Feb 2018 14:52:01
Clubs are giving shorter deals as the wages have risen to such high figures and in the cases of Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang they will be entering their 30's during the term of their deals. The thing that makes no sense is the absurdly transfer fees paid for players that only have 3 and a half year deals. So Aubameyang will cost a combined total of around £87m in wages and transfer fee, for only 3 and a half years.

"Juventus have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Wojciech Szczesny for €16m (£14m) . He is seen as the long-term heir to Gianluigi Buffon. (Sky in Italy) " interesting if true, i haven't seen much of him in italy anyone know if he's improved alot? if he has we need a replacement for cech in the not to distant future so that could be a mistake.
1.) 05 Jun 2017 01:00:01
Szczesny has improved massively at Roma and Ospina looks to be off. I reckon Wenger will try to keep Szczesny as understudy to Cech in the league and play him in Europe/ domestic comps, and look to replace Petr after the end of next season (just my guess) .

Sharpie, I thought you might enjoy this guy's take on tuchel:

Oh dear.

?? He's not happy is he? Strangely, after watching all of that, I still don't know why he doesn't want a foreign manager. Is it because he doesn't want to work overtime? haha.

Not arsenal related, but just what on earth is wrong with referees?
Ipswich’s Liam Delap is suspended for tomorrow’s game following Matheus Cunha’s assault on an Ipswich staff member. Delap was not involved in the altercation.
Delap was booked in the tunnel following Town's last minute win at Wolves last weekend - his fifth yellow of the campaign - meaning he will serve a one-game suspension this weekend.
"I spoke to the referee after the press conference and he said that there's a rule that if there's a fracas on the pitch then somebody from both teams has to be booked. Somebody else will have to check that up to see if it's true or not, but I'll take him at face value on that, " explained McKenna.
"I've watched back the incident, I was in and around it at the time, and I don't see anything particular untoward from our players. But Liam got booked within that. "
1.) 21 Dec 2024 09:32:52
IF true, which I'm not at all sure it is, then it's a crazy rule and ne needs addressing. If anyone is going to be singled out it should be the manager as they are responsible for controlling their players behaviour.
2.) 21 Dec 2024 17:50:38
Yeah, seems like a bloody stupid rule, I agree, how can it be fair to punish both teams even if only one is at fault.
It seems too stupid to be true, but McKenna would get in trouble and not really gain anything if he just made up the ref told him that, or the ref would get in trouble if he just made that rule up to tell McKenna.

Anyone seen that video of Nuno Tavares and his dogs? To put it mildly, that guy is really, really weird.
1.) 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.
04 Jul 2024 23:39:55
Poor Wilfred, his nightmare goes on.
31 Aug 2024 13:15:09
Yes, many thanks! Very much appreciated!
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
31 Aug 2024 00:01:01
Seems like a very good deal, still think we're a bit short if injuries crop up, but fingers crossed.
Chelsea are weird, ship out Sterling just to sign Sancho.
23 Aug 2024 20:58:08
I think it's a great move, he needs to be playing to get his confidence back and couldn't ask for a better place than somewhere he's familiar.
He's barely going to play here to build any confidence or rhythm here.
Nwaneri may even have gone above him in terms of who would get any available minutes for a run out.
Hopefully it goes well for him.
13 Aug 2024 01:41:53
Marseille have signed Wahi instead, he will get on well with Greenwood.
23 May 2024 13:09:15
Cheers ed, great info as always, would you be able to say who appears to be our first choice please? Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Toney but I suspect he will head elsewhere.}

The players all speak glowingly of him. Sacking him would be more likely to cause players to lose faith and leave than not winning a trophy.

I think it's quite remarkable that more footballers aren't caught doping. Compared to other sports where people are caught often, the small amount of people caught in football has always seemed off to me.
{Ed025's Note - the only thing i can say...is that they were obviously not performance enhancing drugs..
17 Dec 2024 15:22:05
Spiked by the Chelsea tea lady so they can cancel his contract.
