Hi Ed do you know if we are In talks to sign Adrian rabiot on a free seen a little rumour thanks for all the great work over the window Ed’s.
{Ed002's Note - Not as far as I know. The cost is outrageous.}
1.) 04 Sep 2024 19:22:22
Thanks for the reply Ed.
05 Aug 2024 07:37:28
Ed who is this Brazilian bitello we are close to signing do you know anything about him? Thanks for the great work.
{Ed002's Note - Bitello (AM) Joined Dynamo Moscow last summer to replace Arsen Zakharyan who Chelsea and Manchester City were blocked from signing. As he is not a Russian citizen he is free to move on but the issue is making a payment to the Russian side. Would likely need to be signed as an exception as he is not naturally able to obtain a Work Permit just yet. Arsenal were interested before he left Gremio.}

Some reports are saying that if arsenal don’t sign a striker then nico williams is the number one target and has a 58m euro release clause arsenal and Liverpool very interested.
1.) 22 Jun 2024 17:33:51
Is one of those reports possibly from ed002 in the post below? (;
2.) 24 Jun 2024 12:01:57
Can’t see it happening. He’s apparently on 350k a week at Bilbao!
{Ed001's Note - Bilbao pay high wages as they can't really spend money on transfers.}
3.) 25 Jun 2024 09:37:47
ED001,
Is that something to do with Bilbao only signing Basque players?
{Ed001's Note - yes, there are almost none that don't come from their academy that they can sign. So almost every transfer fee involving them is incoming and they invest heavily in their youth academy and current playing staff's welfare and happiness. Not just big salaries, but all the ephemera that makes them enjoy playing for the club. But obviously the big salaries is a problem for potential buyers as it is very rare they value a Bilbao player as highly as Bilbao do, unless Athletic have someone else in that position coming through.
If there isn't anyone coming through, they can't exactly go out and buy a replacement. They have been a bit more lenient on Basque-links in recent years, but only to a point. It means the pool of players they can sign is tiny.}
4.) 25 Jun 2024 12:20:59
Thanks ED001,
I do have a soft spot for Bilbao na duaed to follow them a few years ago They generally stick to their principles, which these days are rare.
{Ed001's Note - I like them too. Though I made the mistake of asking my parents to pick me up a shirt when they were in Bilbao. Only my parents could think I must have meant Sociedad because of the Toshack connection. I mean their shirt is blue and white ffs. No one wants a blue and white footie shirt do they? And Bilbao usually play good footie too, they have the best youth academy, probably in the world. There is a lot to like about them.}

ED001,
For years they were my go to FIFA team on the PS aswell.
I had hoped that they would have qualified for the CL. but a 5th place finish was pretty good.
I was really happy when Utd signed Herrera and was gutted when they let him go for free, whilst priorising Muppets like PP and JL.
{Ed001's Note - I just hope they can hang on to their best players this summer and maybe next season they can get that CL place.}
6.) 25 Jun 2024 15:45:10
ED001,
Fingers crossed.
7.) 27 Jun 2024 00:14:53
Fascinating exchange MH and Ed001, thanks for the context.
Sociedad is a great club though!
16 Jun 2024 18:25:27
Hi Ed’s hope you all had a great weekend, ed002 I recently seen you said Toney was our number one target, I’ve just seen a rumour that arteta talked with Toney and arteta didn’t like his attitude, do you know if he is still number one on our list, thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - I wasn't aware of that but will try and check. I would expect Arsenal to now look again at perhaps Jonathan David and Serhou Guirassy.}
1.) 17 Jun 2024 19:43:24
Dublin I keep seeing Toney being linked to a top team and yet I hear the Spuds are linked with him - doesn`t make sense :) Isak or we go again with Kai with I guess a better back up. Hello everyone by the way hoping you`re all well COYG ( appreciate Isak not for sale)
{Ed025's Note - i have changed my mind on Toney for Arsenal SUSSEX, i think has got an attitude problem and should be swerved, i still think you need a top forward though mate to compete at the very top..
2.) 17 Jun 2024 21:10:00
Hi Ed025 I agree never been convinced - one season 22/ 23 everyone bangs on about with 20 goals but 6 pens included! Saka does that from the wing. Forget the pity penalty v Bournemouth Kai didn`t score in twelve games - then scored 12 goals in 25 games (think no pens) so on that form he gets 19 goals without pens - which is pretty good. He also assists. Haaland scored 27 goals but 7 were pens. Kai is nowhere the scorer Haaland is (Haaland played less games) but he is important to the way we play. Unless it`s top drawer and prem ready spend the money on the best midfielder possible to complement Rice and Ode. Isak is the only option for me or Alvarez but City won`t sell. Anyway what do I know but I know a man who does - come on MA get Isak COYG.
{Ed025's Note - i think Isak would be perfect SUSSEX, it looks very unlikely to happen though but you still need a top draw striker for me mate, Kai will do a job but if he gets injured you are up the creek without a paddle i feel..
3.) 18 Jun 2024 02:03:55
I agree ed025, I don't believe we want his character in our squad. There aren't many top strikers around these days though, so while I agree of the necessity of one I have no real suggestions.
{Ed025's Note - its a tough one SW, Isak seems the perfect fit but i just cant see it im afraid, you may have to take a bit of a chance on somebody who is not quite the finished article but you do need a striker mate, i like the look of Vlahovic myself but getting him would be very difficult..
4.) 18 Jun 2024 02:16:41
Hey Ed, what’s your thoughts on Bruno Guimarães? The links gone quiet of late but a player that gets stuck in whilst still being good on the ball could be what's needed in the middle. Would be an expensive buy. Havertz I imagine will be first choice no1 with a new 9 signing for healthy competition. Watkins perhaps? Could Arteta improve him and he’s a huge Arsenal fan who’s stated be a dream to sign for us.
{Ed025's Note - i do like Guimaraes coldice i must say, has that nasty streak which i like but i feel a striker should still be the priority mate, i like Watkins but feel he has reached his celing and Villa is his limit..
5.) 18 Jun 2024 10:15:57
The same article I was reading mentioned that arteta had the emirates on lock down when it comes to transfers, he doesn’t want anything leaked and everything we are hearing in the paper is hearsay, so it’s very exciting.
6.) 18 Jun 2024 10:12:53
Thank you Ed’s for the reply.
29 May 2024 09:56:29
Good morning Ed do you know of anything about arsenal being intrested in Pickford of Everton thank Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Nope.}

There has been some signings over the years that have propelled a club to the top, vvd for Liverpool Alison for Liverpool the mancity goal keeper also, I truly believe that viktir gyokeres is the one player that will bring us the title or CL I think he is that good we should be going all out to sign him in January and not wait for teams to swop in the summer.
1.) 06 Nov 2024 16:01:43
Seems like a good player who would no doubt improve the squad. But by how much? The fact he plays in the Portuguese league makes me wonder how well he would be able to replicate his current form for us in the premier league.
Personally i really admire Lautaro Martinez. I'm eager/ terrified to see how he does against us tonight. Would he be attainable?
{Ed002's Note - Lautaro Martinez (S) New contract and no longer available.}
2.) 06 Nov 2024 17:32:48
I’ve man he’s proving himself in the CL also smashed them in for Coventry and the the championships is a tough league there is no other striker I want, sesko isn’t half the player this guy is he’s prolific and will only get better, we will be sorry if we miss out because city are sniffing around him.
3.) 06 Nov 2024 17:33:37
Hi Ed do arsenal hold an interest in gyokeres,
{Ed002's Note - Viktor Gyokeres (S) After only joining in 2023 Sporting have no interest in selling but fear a club could simply pay his €100M buy out clause in full and try to persuade him to move. Sporting fear Chelasea may do that and have previously avoided the subject during discussions over another player and a separate issue - and whilst Chelsea has a preferred option he is proving difficult to sign. There is also a fear that Mr Emanalo may look to take him to Saudi. With Viana moving to Manchester City, it is possible they could opt for him as the fear losing Haaland. He has attracted scouts representing Manchester United, Spurs and Arsenal but Sporting will be reluctant to deal with Manchester United, although they may offer the full buy out clause. A wildcard would be PSG, but again, not first choice or Juventus if they sell Dusan Vlahovic. Sporting are looking to a new contract and an increase in his buy-out clause.}
28 Oct 2024 08:03:24
Just checking in hehehe.
19 Oct 2024 19:37:45
What a terrible performance, trossard has been awful, Ben white don’t get me started and Kai” I just like to foul people “harvertz is a waste of space, we will not win the title with a forward who can’t score ten league goals, absolutely devastated with this result, I’ll take the criticism which I know will come because people will say here comes the negative posts but I’d like to see where the positives from this result are.
1.) 19 Oct 2024 19:43:53
The only positive thing for me is that I now know I can easily nail 4 red stripe in 20mins through stress.
2.) 19 Oct 2024 19:52:17
its one result with 10 men against a very well set up side, don't get too disheartened its a bloody long season and we had some great players missing.
3.) 19 Oct 2024 20:14:48
Out comes the doom and gloomers
Predictable.
4.) 19 Oct 2024 20:16:35
Players missing or not we need a striker that can score 20 league goals we have for years.
5.) 19 Oct 2024 20:30:44
Sparks! Were you hiding behind the couch?
6.) 19 Oct 2024 21:00:50
It wasn't pretty to watch was it? I felt we looked a bit nervy after Raya's wobbles (too much champagne as he just got engaged? lol) .
And of course down to 10 men so early in the game didn't help.
Credit to Bournemouth though.
7.) 19 Oct 2024 21:03:03
Was watching in the pub mate, couldn't find a couch.
8.) 20 Oct 2024 11:34:56
You can always tell who your true friends are because they are the ones who will accept the times you can't always do or be what they want you to do or be 100% of the time without resorting to slaggimg you off and calling you a loser simply because you couldn't give them what they wanted on this occasion.
With friends like that who needs enemies.
9.) 22 Oct 2024 13:24:52
I’m my own person 62 I don’t pretend to be something that my friends want me to be, that’s just being fake, I’m me and if people don’t like that that’s there problem, everyone on this page has criticised the team and players, people who call others domb and glomers constantly slate a certain midfielder and winger
10.) 22 Oct 2024 17:39:08
But you only seem come on the banter page when we lose Dublin, all teams lose games and all teams have bad days. If it's perfection your after your following the wrong club.
11.) 22 Oct 2024 19:49:18
Sorry gunner 62 but I’ve got a life and have things to do than spend my days on a banter page, so your saying I only come on when we lose I’ll have to double check that, but if people slate our players left right and center for having a poor game do you say anything on there post or do you wait for me to say something, seems like it’s one rule for everyone and another for me when it comes to you and the domb patrol.
12.) 23 Oct 2024 09:04:33
You always seem to find time to come here when we lose though! You never seem to be to busy to slag off our best team in 20 years whenever they fail to reach their own very high standards they themselves have set.
13.) 23 Oct 2024 10:55:06
So you’re saying I only post when we lose! We have lost twice in 6 months pmsl I’ve posted more than twice mate and I’ve only become an active member the last 8-10 months so that’s a bit of BS from you again, next time you try and make someone look small make sure your not lying first off and look at facts, absolutely brilliant I only post when we lose and we have lost twice in 6 months ???.
14.) 23 Oct 2024 12:00:24
You posted more than twice, you posted loads of times when we lost to villa last season and here you are again after the Bournemouth defeat posting lot's again.
15.) 23 Oct 2024 13:24:49
So did most of the members on here but you both seem to make a beeline for me, and my post clearly states the bournemouth game, the Villa game cost us the title so yes member were gutted as was I, but like I said I’m always the one who gets the attention from you and your tag team partner, I’m flattered really, I know what your both up to your known for it but sadly it won’t work with me, now jog on and try someone else to get banned.
16.) 23 Oct 2024 14:54:17
I think you need to calm down gunner you seem very angry, if you look at my post above your little rant I clearly say I’ve posted more than twice! As you said I only post when we lose, (twice in the last 6 months ) then your saying I’ve posted more than twice which I’ve already stated! take a deep breath 62 and clam down your getting very angry and not focusing very well enjoy your day and don’t get upset.
17.) 23 Oct 2024 19:05:25
Thanks for the advice Dublin x x x.
30 Aug 2024 09:40:51
Toney and Coman on loan and Neto (gk) that’s my prediction what’s everyone else think will happen happy transfer deadline everyone.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 12:04:23
I think either Neto and Sterling or just Neto.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 16:50:42
Just neto it's looking like I be shocked if we sign any others.
19 Aug 2024 18:58:25
We turned down 25m for Eddie from forest is it 30 we want for him?
1.) 19 Aug 2024 20:31:14
I will drive him there for that price.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 08:20:08
Same here Sy.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 20:24:01
120k per week for him is ridiculously high. So big wage and high valuation….
4.) 20 Aug 2024 21:04:23
I'm not very clued in on player market values, but finding it hard to imagine why 30 million is too much for this lad. I thought homegrown commanded slightly higher prices. That breeze block in defence for Manu was silly money.

Good morning Ed thanks for the great reply there, who is our first choice.
{Ed002's Note - Toney.}

02 Nov 2024 15:09:24
I thinks we need a world class forward, won’t win anything with the forwards we have mow someone who will score 20 plus league goals I didn’t know why we didn’t go for Toney, wee need 3 wingers cover for saka a world class left winger and cover, I don’t want to say it’s over but city won’t drop an 8 point gap.
02 Nov 2024 15:06:44
Well said mate there’s no excuses no doom and gloom and absolutely nothing positive and who ever thinks there is positives needs to give there head a wobble.
