So with Morinho gone and his hold over never losing to Arsene in a competitive match can we finally beat you next Sunday?

Nope Gunner62. We still going to come out on top, i just have the feeling.

Well now we have helped you with one of your main weak spots G62, I fully expect you to win and win the league . That's unless you don't think Arsenal are strong enough to win the league, in which I am sure Roman will let you have Matic to sort out another problem area, I would also say he will probably let u have Costa, for the final piece of the jigsaw, but I doubt u would want him.

I'd take Matic gladly Sid but as for Costa? Do you think Ian Dowie is busy these days :-)

If you don't win the league this year gooner you never will . all the really big boys quiet. little teams like arsenal, Leicester and Spurs have a chance. you must be favourites and a mighty mishap if you muck this up.

A little bit like Larry Holmes era, you just can't find the decent opponents these days :-)

Hey Eds,

I've seen a lot of sites reporting that Ramires could be swapped for Gundogan, Is there any truth to this?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Whilst Real Madrid have dropped their interest in Ramires, both Juventus and Dortmund remain keen. He is not first choice for Juventus as Dortmund's Gundogan is, but Dortmund has broached the subject of a summer move to replace Gundogan if he moves.

Gundogan was refusing to agree a new deal and Dortmund were willing to let him leave this past summer as he was seen as a shadow of his former (pre-injury) self. Clubs were interested, including Manchester United and Manchester City, but an approach about his availability was responded to that a three year extension has been agreed between the club and player and details are being finalised. However, he then again refused to sign the contract and all he was prepared to do was to sign an extension until 2017. Dortmund are pretty much done with him - he was expected to leave this past summer and they had already a replacement in place. Juventus, Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Arsenal have all been interested to some extent or other. Barcelona may still be interested but they are certainly not pushing right now. Manchester City and Arsenal walked away over concerns about sustained fitness and form against price - they will likely see the risk as still too high. Manchester United may continue to show interest but will only bite at the right price - and the player may have reservations about opportunities at Old Trafford. Cannot be discounted. Bayern Munich failed with an offer of Goetze as part of a deal for Gundogan in the summer - and a second one including HĂžjbjerg as part of the deal. Dortmund would rather not sell to Bayern. If he is to move soon then Juventus and, just possibly, Barcelona seem the most viable destinations. If he is to move in the summer, both of the Manchester clubs can be added to that group.}}

Ramires really really should be sold. I respect him as a player and appreciate everything he's done for the club, but I don't see what he adds. Even his running has gone down.

Agree1 Disagree1

Not particularly keen on Gundogan though, so I'm not disappointed that we're not interested. Reports surfaced today that Chelsea are interested in Granit Xhaka. Now THAT is a midfielder that I'd love to see at our club.
