Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

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.

Arsecast Extra Episode 704 - 21.07.2026

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by women’s football analyst Yash Thakur, who writes for The Cutback, ESPN and Opta Analyst. They discuss Arsenal’s transfer strategy, the early prime age profiles they have targeted, looking at how Arsenal are trying to vary their attack and why four of the five signings so far have come from the Bundesliga. Then there is individual analysis of Georgia Stanway, Ona Batlle, Geraldine Reuteler and Lisa Baum and the qualities they will bring to Arsenal.

Yash wrote an excellent profile on Georgia Stanway on The Cutback which you can (and should) read here. You can also follow Yash’s women’s football work on ESPN, The Cutback and his substack Dribbles and Nutmegs.

Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 170: Analysing Arsenal’s summer transfer business

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to chat about Wednesday evening's World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina. Despite taking the lead, Thomas Tuchel's side retreated into a defensive shape and ultimately paid the price as Lionel Messi provided two assists. We chat about the England's manager's decisions, a highly fatigued Declan Rice, the lack of Bukayo Saka involvement at any stage, and the prospect of the final between Spain and Argentina. There's some transfer chat as Julian Alvarez interest continues, discussion of William Saliba's back injury which threatens the start of his season, the risible half-time show planned for Sunday, and lots more.

Episode 884 - It's all over for England

In this episode we chat about the Arsenal lads at the World Cup, as England beat Norway after extra-time to set up a semi-final against Argentina. We discuss a sick Declan Rice, an ineffective Noni Madueke, as well as Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka off the bench, not to mention Martin Odegaard. There's focus on the game, the 'cable-gate' incident, Norway's disallowed goal and the impact of Jude Bellingham, and also the other game last night which saw Argentina beat Switzerland, with more focus/conspiracy on refereeing decisions in their games. After the break we answer listener questions about Odegaard's future, whether we're moving quickly enough in the transfer market for Mikel Artetas liking, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and lots more

Arsecast Extra Episode 703 - 12.07.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to talk about Arsenal's pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes who has told Newcastle he wants to leave to join the champions. It has all the hallmarks of a protracted saga, so we examine it from all sides, and try and work out what this deal might cost in the context of other central midfield transfers this summer and in recent seasons. There's also discussion of our other CM options, why selling Ethan Nwaneri might be consequence of spending big on other players, William Saliba's reported ongoing back problems and how much that might impact what we need to do defensively in the transfer market, as well as a look at the World Cup, Mikel Merino's vital goal for Spain, England and Norway facing off with lots of Arsenal interest there, and lots more besides.

Episode 883 - Central midfielders are expensive

In this episode we chat about World Cup goings on, starting with England's impressive 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca, and Norway's win over Brazil – both games had Arsenal players involved and we chat about Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Then there's a discussion about FIFA's decision, which appears to have come after political interference, to allow former Gunner Folarin Balogun to play for the US against Belgium despite the red card he received in the previous game. Gianni Infantino's ongoing corruption is a stain, and not the only one, on this tournament. We also talk about Leandro Trossard and assess his contributions to Arsenal after news of his likely departure to Turkey was reported. In part two we do our transfer predictions for the summer window with ins, outs and the amounts we'll spend and bring in, as well as answering some listener questions too.

Arsecast Extra Episode 702 - 06.07.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Art de Roche to talk about Arsenal at the World Cup, and the ongoing concerns around Declan Rice who looked physically shattered throughout England's 2-1 win over DR Congo. We then chat about how the price of the average midfielder has risen so highly with some high profile, high price deals going through this week, and how that might influence what the club need to do this summer. I also ask if this window needs Arsenal to make a 'statement' signing, such as PSG winger Bradley Barcola, using the pull from being Champions and Champions League finalists to bring in the calibre of player who can really help us retain the title and go one better in Europe. There's also a link to a back-up goalkeeper, some thoughts on Santi Cazorla after he announced his retirement, and lots more.

Here's the Sid Lowe interview with Santi Cazorla mentioned in the pod - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe

Episode 882 - Statement signing

In this episode there's some more background to Arsenal's reported interest in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, as well as a conversation about the player versus the person. He would certainly add quality to the midfield but our chequered past with him as an opponent gives us, as fans, something to think about if a deal does go through. We also chat about Granit Xhaka being linked with Chelsea, and further departures from the medical team which will see that area of our backroom set-up require a significant refresh. As well as that we answer questions about where our priorities lie next season between Premier League and Champions League, potential full-back signings, Piero Hincapie, ranking our World Cup players as the best of their nation to ever play for us, plus there's waffle, nonsense, geographical ignorance, and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 701 - 29.06.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Laura Kirk-Francis and Andrew Allen to continue the enjoyment of Arsenal winning the league, the celebrations that engendered all around the world and at the parade last Sunday. We chat about the need to keep celebrating after so many people told us we shouldn't, Mikel Arteta and how this title win might impact him (if at all), what it means for the players to see the extent of the fanbase, before we revisit some of our pre-season podcast conversation with Laura and Andrew about things we'd have to contend with this season, the manager, media coverage, rating the transfer window and lots more.
