Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie start by discussing Jenna Nighswonger's impending move to Bay FC and the departure of Marc Skinner at Manchester United. Then they take listener questions on how quickly we can expect new players to settle in, Lisa Baum's development, the WSL fixture list and its implications, the spending of clubs like London City Lionesses and Spurs and whether the Arsenal squad sufficiently reflects North London.

In this episode we discuss Arsenal's first meaningful pre-season friendly, and reflect on the 4-1 win over Girona on Saturday. There's discussion of Max Dowman and how important he might be in the early part of the season, some chat about the goalscorers and in particular Gabriel Jesus and what the future might, or should, hold for him. Then we get the latest on Arsenal's incoming transfer business, with deals for the two Brazilians – Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior – in the spotlight. There's some movement on the first, but the latter remains an intensely complicated situation, without any significant developments to report as yet, but James gives us the latest as he understands it. Then we have listener questions about Gabriel Martinelli, whether we should re-sign Takehiro Tomiyasu, our wealth of midfield options and how we set up next season, the League Cup, the whereabouts of Albert Stuivenberg, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about Mikel Arteta's comments about how he wants better individuals as he looks to build the squad ahead of the new season. We chat about what exactly he means, and whether interest in someone like Vinicius Junior will require an evolution on the part of the manager in terms of what he asks of his wingers. We also talk about the potential arrival of Bruno Guimaraes as someone who can add a different dynamic to the dressing room, freshening up the squad and the team as we look to defend the title. There's also a more general transfer round-up, discussion of the big FIFA related story this week, and lots more.

In this episode we start with the arrival of Christos Tzolis and some chat about the deal for the Greek international and what he might bring to the team, before we venture into the obvious territory: Arsenal's widely reported interest in Vinicius Junior. We chat about the player himself, the financial challenges we'd need to overcome in order to make it happen with fees and wages etc, and what actively trying to make a move like this says about Arsenal's transfer market ambitions. These are not the kinds of deals we're typically involved in. We also discuss how it might play out if we can't get it done, and where that might leave us in the market, before James answers a listener question about how the story he wrote with David Ornstein came to pass. There are also questions about William Saliba's back, defensive recruitment, Mikel Arteta's new contract, signing players you don't like, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Ryan Hunn, co-host of the Stadio podcast, to deal with statements provided by our Patreon members. He has to strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with them, and we deal with topics including William Saliba's back injury, Arsenal's valuation of players in the transfer market, breaking our record for a sale this summer, Noni Madueke's output next season, whether winning the league is harder than retaining the title, Arsene Wenger and Gianni Infantino, Spain's style of play and Mikel Arteta, and lots more.
