Morning eds

I saw yesterday ed001 you said a verdict from the fa was expected yesterday regarding a transfer ban, was there any announcement?

Also I know it's been asked before but seeing links to lacazette from arsenal at around £60mil, any interest from us? Would be a great signing! Or is it just wishful thinking!

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - nothing yet mate. The FA moves in mysterious ways mate.

I don't know of any interest from us in Lacazette.}

Doubt Lacazette would move to a club that has'nt qualified for the CL.

Ed. What's your verdict on Lacazette? He has been a huge goal scorer for a few years, available now it seems as well, but he's not really linked with the top clubs you'd expect.
Chelsea, Juve, Utd all looking for strikers. We are. Real Madrid if selling Morata, Man City never say no to a striker and Spurs signed Jansen, so they we're looking last summer. Milan are boosting this summer.
I'm just surprised a stampede isn't happening. Is he just not that good?

{Ed001's Note - no idea I have not seen a lot of him.}

I have always thought that too, didn't make the French euro squad either which also got me thinking is he actually that good?
I don't watch the French league but he looks quality on highlights, quick and a good finisher.

@Cobra

Lacazette not making the France euro squad costed them the Euro cup.

Giroud played well but he is still a tree. His replacement Gignac was the same, just more clumsy.

Ed, not sure if anyone has mentioned this (had a quick look) but that ex City guy on SSN yesterday said that he is sure if 2000 deals were done this window, 1999 would need to be investigated by the FA for tapping up and that the rules are so outdated! Whether they are outdated or not, surely they still need to be adhered too, but if true, I was surprised at the level this law is allegedly being flouted! Like I said before, we've still been idiots, but is it as rife as he thought?

{Ed001's Note - it is not as rife as that. There are very few innocent clubs, but no way is it that common. Plenty are not even set up until the last second and the players are not high up on the target list so would in no way have been tapped up. People are just exaggerating for effect.}

Thanks for the reply Ed, I did wonder if that was an exaggeration or not.

{Ed001's Note - just like Carragher, they are protecting the club they support. Citeh are one of the major culprits in recent years, not just with players either!}

Not just with players Ed?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, Pep was tapped up for years before he finally agreed to take charge there.}
