Hi Eds, Eze has been linked with Man U and Spurs, surely if he is moving then we should be going in for him or is he not a target for us?
{Ed014's Note - Rodrygo is the only winger I’ve seen us linked with so wouldn’t know about Eze.
It would seem strange for him to take a step down and join the Spuds or that Manc 5h1te. ?♂️
1.) 16 Jun 2025 17:07:18
Thanks Ed, same thoughts regarding him taking a step down by going to either. It will be good for us to get one of Rodrygo, Eze or Gordon. Can take a punt on Grealish with loan.
{Ed014's Note - a case of wait and see HB.

Flirt with the prettiest girl at the disco and leave empty handed or with a tramp. Great.
We need to be more strategic and deliver - who cares about the fish we wanted to catch. 3 years later and we are still chasing the dream.
If we win trophies - it would be easier.
03 Jun 2025 09:40:48
Hi Eds, do you know if we have had any serious discussions with our primary targets and their clubs? It is very early days and transfers are complicated process but I am fearing the usual hesitancy in our approach. It will be disheartening if good players are snapped up and we keep faffing around.
{Ed001's Note - yes, I believe you are trying to sort out at least a couple of signings in this initial window. It is a different year for PSR purposes than the second window, so getting them done now will get them off the books earlier in the future.}
1.) 03 Jun 2025 10:32:31
Thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}
26 May 2025 12:56:31
Hi Eds, do you have any latest on which wingers we are looking at if any? I would have liked Eze or Gordan, but with Palace in Europa and Newcastle in the CL, they look unlikely. We missed out on Marmoush and will have to compete with many clubs for Nico Williams. We need someone who can hit the ground running and preferably with premier league experience.
{Ed001's Note - Rafael Leao and Gittens seem to be the main two targets.}
1.) 26 May 2025 13:36:53
Thanks Ed, Leao is a good player but hasn’t lived up to the hype, Gittens also is one for the future but any additional depth to the squad will be welcome.
2.) 29 May 2025 02:26:39
I would be chuffed with Gittens, 20 y/ o with 8 goals and 3 assists for BvB? Sign me up. Williams would be the premium target but doubt we'd pay the asking price.

I keep reading about visiting Liverpool and Man U pages, can someone help direct me to them?

Thanks.

Go and have a look, Highbury. There's one clown there, I'm sure you'll find it (Olired) . I can almost taste the bitterness myself. Makes for a good chuckle I suppose.
26 Sep 2025 21:16:57
The one that got away……Harry Kane, the goal machine. Already 100 goals for Bayern and could possibly reach 100 for England. Glad he moved to Bayern and got the trophy his career deserves.
1.) 27 Sep 2025 09:52:27
That's a bit OTT Highbury mate LOL.
2.) 27 Sep 2025 17:21:05
Not really Bill mate, baffling how our academy didn’t see the potential in him, always hated when he scored for the spuds against us but he is one of the best England strikers of all time.
On the other hand, one of our own has done us a huge favour against Liverpool, our turn to do the job tomorrow! COYG!
3.) 27 Sep 2025 17:43:37
Can see your argument Highbury mate.
Deffo Eddie has done us a favour, it's must win for us tomorrow
COYG??.
4.) 27 Sep 2025 18:21:41
Wasn't he 10 years old or something when the club let him go?
Loads of kids who went on to become great players suffered rejection at some stage and equally loads of kid's who were retained throughout their childhood get released by clubs at 16 to 18 and end up drifting out of the game completely.
How did Newcastle allow Shearer to end up at Southampton and didn't Chelsea let Salah and KDB go when they were in their 20s?
{Ed001's Note - Keegan scrapped the youth programme at Newcastle, so Shearer went to Saints.}
5.) 27 Sep 2025 18:34:00
Thanks Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome. }
6.) 27 Sep 2025 19:06:20
Just out of curiosity Ed mate, why did Keegan scrap youth system, was it for economic reasons.
{Ed001's Note - he didn't think it was worthwhile as he had no interest in developing youngsters.}
7.) 27 Sep 2025 19:12:59
Yes G62, that’s always the case, we can never predict, however, I can’t think of anyone except him who we released or who left us and went on to have a stellar career like he did. So for him, I always have the ‘what could have been’ thought at the back of my mind.
8.) 27 Sep 2025 19:15:35
Thanks for the insight Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
9.) 27 Sep 2025 19:35:08
Zlaten Ibrahimovic was arguably a bigger slip up Highbury mate. Admittedly it was pretty arrogant for a 17 year old to say " I don't do auditions " but he certainly backed up that arrogant attitude on the pitch over the next 20 years.
10.) 27 Sep 2025 19:57:20
Serge Gnabry was a big miss although not a youth product.
11.) 27 Sep 2025 20:27:20
Zlatan is Zlatan :D but we never had him on our boooks.
Yes SY, Gnabry is a good shout, he had decent tome in Germany after leaving us.
12.) 27 Sep 2025 21:16:27
Apparently Zlaten was very happy to join us and willing to sign a contract but not do an audition before signing Highbury. Personally i'd say letting a 17 year old Ibrahimovic slip through our fingers was a much bigger mistake than allowing a 10 year old Harry Kane leave the club.
24 Sep 2025 21:27:36
Not going to be popular with this statement but I have to get it out, ‘I fear for us this season! ’.
1.) 24 Sep 2025 21:55:33
What are you afraid of? Do you need G62 to hold your hand?
2.) 24 Sep 2025 22:43:05
Im not too sure about the hand holding SW, but i'm happpy to join Highbury and yourself in a group hug if you both need one.
By the way Highbury, yeah, what is it that's giving you the willes ?.
3.) 24 Sep 2025 23:04:20
Why you worried Highbury? I don’t believe we will finish outside of the top 3 despite our managers tactics. We should be able to put a decent run in Europe where it’s a bit slower and I’m hoping for a cup run too. I can understand being not as excited as you should be or nervous with team selection for big games but overall I am sure we will be decent in all areas but may be not win a cup unless Viktor gets going and Arteta gets us playing better. with better set up / tactics. Those two individuals are pretty key to it all.
4.) 25 Sep 2025 06:12:01
:) yes, a group hug for now, but someone definitely needs to hold Arteta’s hand and help release the “handbrake”
Our build up is slow and lacks energy, apart from the Leeds game, all the games I watched, never got a confidence that we will score goals until we somehow did. The only positive so far for me is we have conceded only two goals.
I try to tell myself that the team will click and we will get back to the exciting football we are craving but my fear is it may be too late this season.
5.) 25 Sep 2025 15:40:26
Fecking hell! Win Lose or Draw but never fear! COYG
As for too late are we mathematically out of the Championship race yet? Nope . Come on Highbury we’re still in everything until we aren’t which gives us a chance- some may say it’s the hope that kills you nope that's not breathing that does that! We have tons of great nights ahead of us if only we got out from behind the sofa or out of the group hug to see them COYG.
6.) 25 Sep 2025 18:53:07
Your very welcome to join us in the group hug anytime you wish to Essex mate ?.
I agree absolunothing nothing is lost as things stand, not only is this seasons title mathematically still a possibility its still very much a realistic target for us to look forward to pursuing. If any Arsenal fans are considering throwing in the towel already I'd urge them hold their fire until at least the end of October by which time we will genuinely know an awful lot more than we might think we know right now.
If Arteta can find the courage to start trusting the excellent squad he's put together allowing them off his leash everything is still to play for ?.
7.) 26 Sep 2025 10:26:30
Not throwing in the towel at all, it’s just that the number of chance we are creating or not creating is worrying, if we don’t score then the clean sheets will count for nothing. Mathematically still everything is to play for but then as they say, it’s not in our hands anymore, right? We have to rely on others now to help us. I am still positive about the season but only the league or champions league title will be progress for me, not even the FA cup or the league cup. Again, this is my personal feeling and it may be unrealistic.
21 Sep 2025 17:12:13
This is pathetic to watch! Staring Merino over Eze. Saka if fit for bench can surely start! We need both of them at the START of the second half and not the customary 70 mins mark!
20 Sep 2025 13:35:38
Very early in the season and loads of games to go until May, however, should we fear that Liverpool may run away with it this year? We have had excellent transfer window and performing very well but it isn’t anything to do with us, only the way Liverpool are playing and the team they have is making me think!
1.) 20 Sep 2025 15:22:10
In the 1985/ 86 season Man United won all 10 of their opening 10 games, they finished that season 4th place in the league.
It is indeed very early days and an awful lot can and will happen over the next 33/ 34 games.
2.) 20 Sep 2025 15:44:18
Hello Highbury and John, hope you are both good.
Like you have said John its early doors and neither us or Liverpool have looked that great imo. We missed a golden opportunity to beat them a few weeks back and only time will tell if the tactics that day will come back and haunt us. Apart from us and Liverpool there's a few other sides that will be in the running also for the prem title. Just like to add massive amounts of money were spent in the summer by a few prem clubs so there will be a lot teams chopping and changing trying to find the best eleven and rhythm us included in that.
Take care both.
3.) 20 Sep 2025 18:35:57
Liverpool went big in the window like Champs and get results plus play to win like Champs.
We need a change in mindset if we are to challenge.
We can’t be City’s biggest challenger then they drop off, we become Liverpools biggest challenger then City’s again .
Boss needs step up and get us performing.
Henry needs to show Viktor how to get better and someone needs to show the boss how we can attack and take the handbrake off. The person the midfield pass to the most can’t be defence / keeper - need to play it forward faster.
Tired of being the best man - let’s be the groom for the love of god Arteta. Show some intent please. Not seen that for a longtime.
4.) 20 Sep 2025 19:31:12
Hi Bill mate, I think we will all have lot better idea about who's going to be leading the way and who's going to be among the chasing pack come December mate.
Let's see what tomorrow's game brings, i don't think we should be expecting a repeat of last seasons 5 1 win, 4 0 would do nicely ???.
01 Jul 2025 18:18:41
I think we will get Eze, Rodrygo and Sesko.
16 Jun 2025 17:07:18
Thanks Ed, same thoughts regarding him taking a step down by going to either. It will be good for us to get one of Rodrygo, Eze or Gordon. Can take a punt on Grealish with loan.

31 May 2025 18:33:42
There is a rumour around MLS being tracked by Real Madrid. Nwaneri will also be looking for assurances on more game time. However, we must extend their contracts and my be give them an option to review next year.
26 May 2025 13:36:53
Thanks Ed, Leao is a good player but hasn’t lived up to the hype, Gittens also is one for the future but any additional depth to the squad will be welcome.
05 Oct 2025 10:00:29
Good to see us top of the table before the international break, let’s keep up this tempo and see where we get to. Squad depth is massive plus this season so we should be having a good go at all competitions.
Agree with G62 on Salah comment, this season Liverpool are missing TAA and Salah doesn’t contribute defensively. Slot will improve the issue and there will be real fight between us, Liverpool and City, I also think the spuds are steadily hovering around the top and could have a say in the title race.
01 Oct 2025 16:17:18
Everybody goes through a bad patch and drop points, we need to capitalise on it and hold our side of the bargain to get the points we need. Last three seasons we have dropped points when we absolutely had to win towards the business end of the season and that has cost us. We need to be as perfectly consistent as possible throughout the season.
01 Oct 2025 11:59:55
Go get them, Malaga! I hope the 96th minute adrenaline from Sunday is still raw and we go full tilt at Olympiakos and get the 3 points. Olympiakos is a tricky fixture as we know but hoping for a comfortable home win. COYG!
30 Sep 2025 16:59:51
Thanks.
28 Sep 2025 17:23:53
And breath…. we will score 2 in the next half!
