  • Arsenal Women Arsecast 129: On the Smith edge

    35:22|
    In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by Clive Palmer from the Arsenal Vision Podcast to talk about Arsenal's £1m bid for Olivia Smith being accepted by Liverpool. They discuss Arsenal's identification of the player, what it says that the club were willing to meet Liverpool's firm asking price and the changing landscape of transfer fees in women's football, what Smith can add to the team and the importance of bringing the age profile down in the wide areas. They also discuss how her game at Liverpool can be scaled up at Arsenal and there's a little on greater use of squad players next season in the interests of making a firmer league title challenge.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog's award winning coverage of Arsenal Women by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
  • Episode 836 - Going Mad-ueke

    01:04:03|
    In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to chat about the signing of Christian Norgaard and where he fits in the context of our summer business so far. After that, there's a big discussion about Noni Madueke and Arsenal's reported £52 bid for the Chelsea winger. There are always concerns, but is this just market rate, and at what point do expressing concerns about a transfer cross the line into something less edifying. We also round up the rumours involving the Viktor Gyokeres deal and reports around that, Leandro Trossard and Fabio Vieira leaving the club, talk about resetting and going again for the title next season, and lots more.Here's the piece from Lewis I mention in the pod: https://likeanewsletter.substack.com/p/gyok-n-roll-starFollow Andrew on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/aallensport.arseblog.comGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog

  • Arsecast Extra Episode 647 - 07.07.2025

    01:39:34|
    Today's Arsecast Extra comes in three parts. In the first, we chat about the confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's transfer and what he'll bring to the team; the big striker news as it appears Arsenal have decided to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting; reported interest in Chelsea's Noni Madueke and how that stacks up; Leandro Trossard linked with a move to Fenerbahce; and Takehiro Tomiyasu's slightly unexpected departure.Part 2 begins at 45'05 and runs until 1:13'09. We discuss the fact that Thomas Partey has been charged by the Met Police with rape and sexual assault. We understand this might be difficult for some listeners, so you can skip if it's not something you want to listen to, but we talk about the news being public, the way Arsenal handled the situation as a whole, the responsibility of those at the top of the club to uphold values, and how we felt about a possible contract extension. This is the article mentioned in the discussion - https://substack.com/inbox/post/167542986In the third part, it's listener questions involving Ethan Nwaneri's contract, Gabriel Heinze being added to the coaching staff, how transfer rumours like the Gyokeres one on Sunday disseminate, and more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
  • Episode 835 - Perspective

    01:02:54|
    In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman, and we begin with the sad news involving Liverpool forward Diogo Jota who, along with his brother, lost his life in a car accident in Spain. We then do our best to pivot to Arsenal discussion, chatting about interest in Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and how he – on paper at least – isn't a typical Mikel Arteta player. We also touch on the need for depth, the striker search, reported interest in Chelsea's Noni Madueke, what the future holds for Max Dowman, Chloe Kelly's new contract, and more.Follow Tim on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/tim-stillman.bsky.socialGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
  • Arsecast Extra Episode 646 - 30.06.2025

    01:29:56|
    In this episode we chat about the latest transfer developments of the summer, with Christian Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera both linked with moves to North London, as well as the lack of anything substantial with regards the big issue of the summer – signing a striker? Are Arsenal being indecisive or just playing their cards very close to their chest, leaving us to fill in the blanks with speculation? We also have listener questions about suggested new TV coverage elements for next season, whether Ethan Nwaneri should go out on loan, Andrea Berta's negotiation techniques, Jakub Kiwior, and lots more besides. Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
  • Episode 834 - A losing team

    01:13:30|
    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

    01:26:19|
    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
  • Arsecast Extra Episode 644 - 18.06.2025

    01:23:29|
    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
