Then again, he should be our EL cup keeper

The performances of Gabi and ESR putting pressure on Eddie to up his game, you think? Hard for him to lean on... kinda getting away with things, because of being young, when those dudes are pretty much killing it.

Good point. Arteta knows it as well and his reacent minutes werent good enough for Arsenal. Arteta knows as well that Balogun only staying if he is giving him some minutes.

Let's be real with Eddie here. He's a good poacher, but that's it. We should be looking to sell him as soon as we can.

Balogun looks like the all rounder. Shame

He has been playing in a system where Auba and Laca have looked absolute shiiiite, so a bit harsh to write him off on that basis.

Eddie should be loaned out. Should have been loaned out a year ago. Keeping him has not helped his development and has stopped Balogun from getting into match day squads

Seems like we're getting Buendia according to the twitterati

No realiable sauces so far.

Bild reporting again about Kolasinac to Schalke.

Schalke havent got money. So dont expect a big fee for him. But we would get him off the wage list if Kola agrees to less wages.

Looks like the report from Bild is genuine. The WAZ who is a reliable source also reporting it.

According to both sources the deal is close.

Permanent transfer? Or loan?

Loan

Arsenal will have to pay a part of his wages too.

More on Kolasinac loan, as first reported by @Sky_MaxB & @Sky_Dirk:

- Loan without obligations
- Could become permanent if Schalke stay up
- Arsenal helping out with his salary for six months
- #AFC will offer similar packages to the players they want out in Jan

‘AFC will offer similar packages to the players they want out in Jan’

Beat WBA, and get shot of Kolasinac, Ozil, Sokratis and Mustafi in January, and they should build a statue outside the Emirates of Arteta hugging Edu.

We are paying for him to fack off, the fat caaaant.

Kola, Ozil, Mustafi and Sokratis would keep Schalke up. Can they loan 4 players from one club? Saves looking for more mugs.

Loan without obligation

Not ideal without obligation but he would be playing regularly. Maybe we can rid in the summer then.

The way things are going there won't be a Schalke next season, so they can't commit.

Think Schalke will be relegated. But Leverkusen could possibly interesed again as both of the Bender brother retire in the summer.

be interested

Schalke to sign Kola Bear on a permanent if they stay up.

All Gooners now part time Schalke fans
