Ed002, I know we have no interest in him, but wondered if you rated Jean-Kevin Augustin highly or knew if he was rated highly at PSG/ in France. Have only seen a little bit of him but he looks very promising.
Happy New Year!

{Ed002's Note - You really need the European pages for questions like this. I am not the ideal person to rate players but I can say that a well known Arsenal scout has been following his youth career with interest for a long time.}

Okay cheers Ed and sorry, should have gone to the European pages! Thanks again!

Happy New Year Ed002,

I have a question in relation to a post you put up on the Man United page, if you do not mind.

If Manchester United submit an over the odds bid for John Stones in January, would Chelsea be a club ready to counter that offer or are they focusing elsewhere due to Everton's and Martinez's, apparent reluctance to sell to Chelsea, in particular, at any price?

This is just in light of you saying that an over the odds bid from Man United for John Stones could force a bid from elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for taking the time Ed002.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has no intention of paying over the odds for a player. And looking at the situation the chances of a move are slim and I still think Manchester United could look to him. Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all took a look at Stones in the summer of 2014 but none made an offer. Chelsea did make an attempt to sign him in the summer of 2015 but then moved on to another target as Chelsea's offer was way off what would make Everton take any sort of note. I very much suspect Manchester United will look again to Stones, but right now I think they are looking elsewhere as well. Arsenal and Barcelona will also probably be interested if he becomes available.}

Rather than buy Stones, I think we should be looking at bringing Christensen back. I watch a lot of BMG and Andreas Schubert's renaissance of form at the club has been mainly due the form of people like Christensen. He is also younger than Stones and wouldn't cost anything plus Martinez will bleed us dry in any cash deal. Also don't personally rate Stones that highly right now, still has a lot of learning defensively to do.

You're right mate. Goes without saying what we can archive with our youth players. I think we should look to our youth and only spend on top top players like Griezman or players that could walk right into the team without spending excessively.

I thought Stones was great but honestly Christensen could grow up to be better at the end of the day.

Happy new year everyone.
