Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast
Episode 791 - Plug and play
•
In this episode I'm joined by Clive Palmer to chat about the kind of incoming transfer business Arsenal will look to get done, and why someone like Mikel Merino might not be the most exciting arrival, but someone who can easily plug and play into Mikel Arteta's system. We also chat about some potential departures, what we need to see from Fabio Vieira this season, Ethan Nwaneri and how pre-season could be very important for him, and lots more, including some US tour chat
