Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Luke Kempner from 'The thing about Arsenal' podcast to chat about the 1-1 draw with Como on Wednesday evening, and some of the individual performances from young players like Marli Salmon and Max Dowman, including some comments from Cesc Fabregas about their emergence. We also chat about Myles Lewis-Skelly getting on the scoresheet, his celebration, and Mikel Arteta's post-game comments about him after all the speculation regarding his future this week. It's clear something is going on, but it's hard to know exactly what, and we also wonder what it might mean for Ethan Nwaneri ahead of the new season. Arteta talks transfers, Gabriel Martinelli has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, there's info on the Arseblog Fantasy Football League 2026, and lots more besides. 

Here's the Lewis Ambrose article mentioned in the conversation with Luke: https://likeanewsletter.substack.com/p/gabriel-martinelli-arsenal-and-the

Episode 888 - So many questions ...

In this episode we chat about the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, after his unveiling at the stadium on Sunday. We chat about what he can bring to the team, and how we might have to let go of the past a bit, before turning our attention to the Emirates Cup defeat to Borussia Dortmund. There's some focus on new signing Christos Tzolis, and pre-season friendly context applied to the defeat, as well as the big question about what we're going to do in the market in the absence of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber – with a big 'DO NO WANT' around one particular player linked. In part 2 we answer listener questions about what we do after the failed pursuit of Vinicius Junior and a bit of discussion around potential targets for the left side including Nico Williams, Mikel Arteta's contract, young players impressing in pre-season, Kai Havertz and his longer-term future, Martin Zubimendi and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 707 - 10.08.2026

In this episode I'm joined in my studio by Elliot Smith from ArsenalVision Podcast to chat about Arsenal's 3-1 defeat to Real Betis in Dublin on Wednesday evening. We discuss the key events of the game, and three sloppy mistakes which led to goals for the opposition. We also chat about the returns of Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli, some players who are surplus to requirements, an unfortunate injury, and the need to bring in a new defender with some focus on the rumoured target Ezri Konsa. Then we talk about the Vinicius Junior situation which had some developments yesterday which make a move to North London seem less likely. Have Arsenal been played or was their pursuit of the player justified? And if it doesn't happen, what do they do next? All that, a bit more.

Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 171: August Mailbag

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.

Arsecast Extra Episode 706 - 03.08.2026

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.

Episode 886 - Evolution

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.

Arsecast Extra Episode 705 - 27.07.2026

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.

Episode 885 - Statements with Ryan Hunn

In this episode James is back in London after his spell in Chicago, and we begin by talking about the World Cup final in which Spain beat Argentina and pretty much everyone outside of Argentina was happy about that. We have some reflections on the tournament as a whole, before we discuss the Morgan Rogers news and his decision to join Chelsea when he was strongly tipped to join Arsenal this summer. We chat about how it played out, whether the price paid is too high, and if we need to be more flexible in a summer market where prices have been skewed massively by some high profile deals. We wonder how Mikel Arteta will react to not getting a key target, how the club might pivot to other options now that this deal is done, and talk about slight developments in the Bruno Guimaraes pursuit. In part two we answer listener questions about Myles Lewis-Skelly, whether our negotiating style is an impediment to being able to sell well, Ferran Torres, and lots more – including James' deep dish pizza update.
