Looks like sesko is our number one choice
I wonder will we make a move for him in January.
{Ed002's Note - He won't be available in January.}
1.) 05 Sep 2024 16:17:43
Ed is he a target for us and would be available in the summer.
{Ed002's Note - He will have a release clause in the summer but I don't know if Arsenal will look again.}
2.) 05 Sep 2024 17:13:39
Ok thank you.
31 Aug 2024 08:20:53
Well done and thanks Edoo2
Called it right again.
29 Aug 2024 10:41:03
Edoo2 have we made a move to sign nico williams?
{Ed002's Note - No, he is awaiting Barcelona.}
27 Aug 2024 09:33:49
Ed's why was my post about Ferguson from Brighton taken down
Edoo2 is it true he's a target?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea why it was removed.
Evan Ferguson (S) Maybe an offer from Newcastle will eventually happen but they have other targets. Brentford could look to him as a Toney replacement, Spurs are trying to offer a structured way forward for the player who needs to stay where he is for a while and with Brighton having agreed a new contract which places him out of bounds for some years whilst the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea look on. I don't move this summer.}
1.) 27 Aug 2024 10:10:03
Thanks buddy.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 02:21:00
Any player from Brighton costs 100 m, so don't think we'll try.
19 Aug 2024 17:16:26
Edoo2 is it true we have an interest in Ferran Torres
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware but there are talks with another side.}

Just wanted to say how good of a job Per and Jack are doing brining the latest batch of Hale Enders through
The future is looking bright.

Don't you just hate international break.
06 Sep 2024 08:29:36
I think there's a couple of problems with Kieran tierney
1-obviously his injury record
2- his style of play
Does anyone think a year in Spain has improved his technical ability and is more suited to the style of play which Mikel wants to play.
{Ed014's Note - Mikel has included him in his Champions League squad.
I’ve not seen anything of him since he left so no idea if he’s progressed at all mate.
1.) 06 Sep 2024 08:42:54
I we that Ed, has to be a strong reason for his inclusion
Very interesting.
{Ed014's Note - yes mate, wasn’t expecting it but think he’s back from injury after the international break.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 12:02:19
I`m worried we don`t have enough cover at left back! COYG.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 12:27:39
I’m more worried about LM Sussex
Let’s just ride these few injuries and we’ll be grand.
{Ed014's Note - we have Calafiori, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Timber, Tomiyasu and Tierney who can play left back so SUSSEX must be taking the mick! ?
4.) 06 Sep 2024 15:15:53
I was Ed014, it’s how Chelski must feel in all positions. It’s the midfield that is strong ordinarily but a concern for Spuds.
If Odegaard and Partey fit we start with them plus one more maybe Zinchenko or Jorginho. Maybe with a pretty much full strength squad we have a go this time at C£ty. Always remember one win one loss better than two draws.
Also is the Belgian manager okay - they must have some squad to leave Leo out.
Agreed Mal and the C£ty game isn`t a title decider. Hope your much better half doing good Ed014 COYG
On Partey I know some don`t rate him at all and he can look he`s lazy but I rate him as a player and he can pick a pass. Not our best but certainly not thieving a living. Stays fit a great option.
{Ed014's Note - haha I thought so!
That’s why I think maybe Timber might slot into midfield and Calafiori into LB. I think we’ll have enough what ever we do.
Be interesting to see what impact if any that Sterling may make.
Has Trossard been left out of their squad?
She’s doing fine thanks mate, taking her off to Prague later in the month for her birthday.
I’ve always liked Partey and think he takes a few games to get up to speed.
He played 90 for Ghana yesterday so getting fitter all the time.
5.) 06 Sep 2024 16:54:16
Tross left out - check out the arsenal.com website footage of training - Tross and Sterling looking sharp in particular. Timber a good shout in midfield I`m getting more confident by the hour! Enjoy Prague COYG.
{Ed014's Note - that’s an odd one and I always looks at the training vids and Sterling was looking very sharp. It didn’t occur to me that Trossard being there has meant he was left out of the squad.
Tedesco as well and surprised he doesn’t like Trossard.
And thanks mate, hopefully we will.

Wolves
Villa
Brighton
7 points
Not too shabby.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 17:34:52
Not too shabby at all mate, obviously we were all hoping for 3pts today but hiccups, twists and turns are all part and parcel of any and all title challenging teams season.
2.) 01 Sep 2024 13:19:32
Come on Mal - we would expect 6 from those home games if we are to win the league and you would hope to get at least a point from Villa. Yes that’s 7 but not winning at home and a stupid red from Rice is crazy. Look at City’s first 3 fixtures, harder than ours and they have 9 points. That’s the bar not 7 / 9 points mate. That attitude will get us 2nd or 3rd. We must win our home games - all of them.
Boys fought well and ended up with a key point but in terms of looking at the result as a home game against a lesser team. Disappointing and can't accept that 7 / 9 is a good result. It’s undone the good 3 points win at Villa.
Sorry to sound like a grumpy old man - there’s zero chance before the game that you’d say a draw was good. Is it so wrong to be disappointed and how can we have a winning mentality if we keep looking for the “positive. ” I don’t think we’ve woken up yet this season.
Great you guys see the positive and get so much buzz / enjoyment. Probably need to take a leaf from your book and enjoy the journey a bit more. I’m so focused on winning the league that it’s hard to take any positive from yesterday plus thought we were lucky against Villa and not dominant enough against Wolves especially when you look at City….
3.) 01 Sep 2024 15:28:36
No need to apologise mate
It’s all about opinions
It don’t mater how you make up the 7 points as long as you do
I thought we was magnificent when we was down to ten men.
4.) 01 Sep 2024 17:59:43
Tbh Mal, Brighton never troubled us until the second half. They gave MOTM to the Brighton goalscorer but I thought Raya was magnificent.
5.) 01 Sep 2024 18:18:58
Hi Bill I think we were looking good for 3pts up until we went down to 10 men, but these things do happen over a season. 7/ 9 points available, 5 goals scored and just 1 goal conceded in 3 games.
We have soooo much more to be happy about and pleased with than we genuinely we have to be unhappy about and dissatisfied with in my opinion ?.
6.) 01 Sep 2024 18:23:47
I really want this to be our season. I watched the game yesterday and watching the fans get behind the team was amazing. The team is getting started 7 points not bad could have been 9 or 6. I did notice a lack of fluency yesterda and frustration from Rice on a few occassions. I hope we learn from this. Short break team building exercises needed. We really do need to bring silver in the season otherwise i can see the owners giving up on arteta. They have provided investment and time into the project and another season of no silver may start bringing the doubter in.
7.) 01 Sep 2024 18:59:28
Absolutely John mate
COYG.
8.) 01 Sep 2024 20:53:52
Evening - what do you want from this season?
Facts - we’ve had 2 home games ( easy ) and 1 away game.
Liverpool and City - difficult away game (s) but both 2 away and 1 home. City have Haaland on fire.
We have an extra away game to play and 2 points behind after just 3 games. Defence has looked more shaky and no striker in site.
It’s only 3 games but if you want to win the league, you don’t accept 1 point at home against a second tier team. It may happen but why say we are good? The other games could have gone either way.
City are flying - hence I ask what do you want from the season. Me EPL title hence 7 / 9 from two easy ish home games and a lucky away win is nowhere near good enough.
We need to get our act together and that should have started in the window that just closed.
I’m not happy with the start and Arteta needs to address asap as both City and Liverpool are out the gates with a home game on us and 2 points. Yes it’s a marathon but winners set the pace
Sorry - struggling with our start and can only imagine it’s because you are ok not winning league and its “early days”
Doesn’t make me an Arteta hater or not a real fan or not enjoying football but I enjoy winning and after last two seasons of not being good enough. We need to change to win or evolve.
Enjoy your evening and no I’m not stressed. This is how I manage my life and i'm fine with that. I want to be the best and if I’m below par - I give myself a nudge. That’s healthy. Our greatest players had that attitude so why not hold these guys wearing the Cannon and on ridiculous wages to that standard. Paddy, DB10, Pires, Tony - would not accept it.
{Ed014's Note - I’m really at a loss with your thought process SY, I doubt no matter how hard you look that you’ll find a single member of staff at Arsenal that now doesn’t want to win or thinks 2nd place is enough.
We’ve made huge strides and improved the squad beyond recognition and despite your negative thoughts are in a fight on all fronts.
I’m not going to comment any further but when I read your posts I genuinely think WOW!
Enjoy the season and take care mate.
9.) 01 Sep 2024 21:19:45
Thanks 14 - I hope you have a great week.
I will enjoy the season and really want us to win mate. My only point is look at City - they are a machine and it will require close to perfection to beat them. So the margins are tiny.
Sorry if I shock you but if we are to win then that requires a different level.
Anyway - enjoy your week and thank you for the reply.
10.) 01 Sep 2024 22:37:32
You're being a bit unfair by saying it was an easy home game we should have won.
Brighton are a very good team anyway, but we were winning and pretty comfortable, until a very harsh decision changed the game, then, it's not a normal game and anything but easy, whether it's home or away, from that position a point was a good result.
31 Aug 2024 08:19:46
Gk done
Lb/ cb done
Midfielder done
Forward/ winger done
And we cleared the decks
I'm happy enough.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 08:46:18
Me too Mal. No loan fee, Chelsea paying half his wages seems like a good deal for Sterling too :)
2.) 31 Aug 2024 09:04:07
I'm really pleased too mate ?.
In my opinion we are now stronger than we were last season, we've added some quality players without losing any of our first choice match day 18 sqaud players (other than Ramsdale as back up keeper of course) and just for once the old Arsenal cleche is really is true, Timber genuinely is like a new signing given he only played 45 minutes during his first season before unfortunately getting injured.
We could if course look at the players we didn't sign but in my opinion Arteta and the club have done more than enough to prove to us they are every bit as desperate to win the league as we fans are and if the players they thought would suit us were available then I'm absolutely certain they would have bought them. Up The Arsenal ?.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 12:08:54
Not really onboard with the Sterling signing.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 13:23:55
An OK window but not a “I want to win the league” window.

Ok thank you.
05 Sep 2024 16:17:43
Ed is he a target for us and would be available in the summer.
{Ed002's Note - He will have a release clause in the summer but I don't know if Arsenal will look again.}
30 Aug 2024 20:14:02
Edoo2 their reporting it’s a loan move is that true.
30 Aug 2024 16:37:48
Thanks Ed.
30 Aug 2024 15:55:11
Edoo2 is there still a chance we can do a deal for sterling?
{Ed002's Note - Yes. Whilst the transfer window is open Arsenal. A continue to try and persuade him to move but there is a matter that needs resolving with Chelsea.}

Yeah good mate
Can’t wait till Sunday.
10 Sep 2024 11:58:17
I’m looking forward to Sunday I want to be in these tricky tests
How’s it going 14.
{Ed014's Note - me too mate and very well thanks.
How’s life with you and yours?
10 Sep 2024 11:20:18
Agreed Ed
Just put Jorginho and Partey in the middle and put that young lad ( can’t remember his name) in rm and they’ll do the business
We are sorted in defence and up front.
{Ed014's Note - agree mate and take it you mean Ethan Nwaneri.
Not sure if he will, but what a chance to shine that would be!
10 Sep 2024 10:16:50
I’m not bothered, we have a good enough squad to cope.
