Hi Eds,

Long time since I've posted. Hope all the old school posters have been well. What a transfer window this is turning out to be. Optimism is at an all time high but trying to keep my feet on the ground.

Ed002 I have a question for you, you are clearly very knowledgeable and always have fantastic insight. What are your thoughts around Zaha? Is there a genuine push to sign him or is most of it paper talk? Are any of the sources that a stating we are back in for him?

{Ed002's Note - There is interest in Zaha - but the price is high and he wants to move elsewhere.}

I know Zaha at his best would improve our team hugely, but am I the only one who doesn't want us to spend our money for the next few years on a player who wants to play for another team, struggled every time he has been outside London and has no resale value?

I would much rather us to sign a CB, a better value RW and be financially viable and sensible than bust it all on an excellent, but inconsistent winger.

{Ed025's Note - im with you TIH..

Thanks Ed. I would imagine he would be hoping to move to a club that will be playing European football this season.

I agree TIH. If the move does happen I see it as the club going all out to chase some silverware this season whilst also hoping there is a team that can be successful for a few seasons with only minor tweaks. Great in theory but we have all seen before too many fresh faces all in at once can backfire if the team doesn’t gel, scary thought if that means funds are not readily available to try to amend the situation.

Ed025, how are you my old mate? Still putting in the hard yards.

{Ed025's Note - very much so sydney and very excited at he direction the club is heading mate, this could be a very exciting time for us and i cant wait for the season to start, hope you and your family are well mate and its great to hear from you..

Hopefully we will bring in RB cover and CB cover either on permanent deals or loans I can't see the Zaha transfer being completed in time and to be honest. I would rather Brand spend his time sorting out the defensive cover.

He’s a top premier league player, you will be inconsistent in a team that finishes bottom half, only players that were consistent was Liverpool and Man City players. I’m not going to get upset if we don’t sign him but he will make our side much better, can’t believe some fans who don’t want him.

It’s hard to not be excited isn’t Ed although this team of our insists on breaking our hearts. All is well on my end mate. Hope you and yours are doing well also. Do you still have any of the old posters like Degsy, Moody and Svenny hanging around mate?

{Ed025's Note - some great posters there sydney but alas its been a while since we heard from them, maybe with the direction we are going in we might hear from them as its a terrific time to be a blue mate..

No better time for them to stop back in Ed that’s for sure. It’s been a chaotic few years for me mate but looking forward to settling down and getting some normality back in my life so I will be checking in regularly and enjoying the ride!

{Ed025's Note - thats great to hear mate..

By the time Arsenal can afford Zaha we will be above them anyway Sydney.
