In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the news of Arsenal's interest in Christian Norgaard, what it might mean for the midfield when added to the imminent arrival of Martin Zubimendi, as well as the announcement of Myles Lewis-Skelly's new contract. Then, for a bit of fun, we play a little game: as hypothetical Arsenal managers, we have to pick a team specifically designed to lose a game. We lay out the criteria in the podcast itself, there are no overlaps allowed, and some really interesting selections from both us. It's not about the worst ever players, it's about picking the worst possible team.

Arsecast Extra Episode 645 - 23.06.2025
In this episode we chat about Martin Zubimendi being in London, as well as the reporting on transfers, in particular when it comes to those two strikers whose names don't need to mentioned because everyone knows who they are. Will any striker ultimately feel a bit underwhelming after all the stories? We also discuss the ongoing links to Rodrygo, as well as Jorel Hato, and ask why there's such constant clamour to move Myles Lewis-Skelly from left-back? Then we have listener questions about Jurrien Timber and his injuries, this squad's most underrated player, Santi Cazorla's amazing weekend, the need to keep a loan slot open in January, vampire strikers, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 644 - 18.06.2025
In this episode we're back from holidays to talk about all the nothing that has gone on in the last week. Arsenal are still interested in Victor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, but with no 'concrete' developments – not even in the language of transfers. We chat about the new Premier League fixtures which were released today and which provide us with what looks like a challenging start to the new season, and news that Carlos Cuesta is set to leave. How will Mikel Arteta choose to replace him? Part 2 is almost entirely taken up by our summer transfer predictions – who comes in, who goes out, how much do we spend and how much will we bring in through sales? As ever, we're likely miles off but it's just a bit of fun!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
