Hi ed, was just wondering how far we are through the negotiations for Walcott, have we bid for him yet do you know. Cheers mate.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal are aware that Everton have spoken with his agent and have a declared interest in the player. To the best of my knowledge none of the nitty gritty has been addressed just yet.}

Thanks mate do you think he'd prefer a move to us over Southampton or would he rather stay down south.

{Ed002's Note - I don’t know what he would prefer but it is Everton who are best placed to make something happen right now.}

Imho his going to Southampton has to be considered more of a backwards/ downwards step than coming to Everton.

Hi Ed. Should we assume everton have met arsenals price if they have given us permission to speak to his agent?

{Ed002's Note - You don't really need permission to talk to his agent. They spend their time knocking on doors of clubs. But you do need permission to talk with the player.}

It's such a crazy situation isn't it. You can discuss anything with the agent, we'll pay this much, promise game time, bonuses etc, who clearly will go and tell the player. It's something that should be tightened up because i hate seeing players go on strike because they've had their heads turned. Impossible task to do so though when as you say, agents are always knocking on clubs doors. They'll just pretend they're discussing another matter entirely and discreetly bring up the player.
