Martinelli should have at least come in at halftime of that match. Endrick looked like the kid that he is and they should have moved Rodrygo to CF and brought Nelli on. They didn't even make their first sub till the match was practically over.

I felt disappointed when Flo Balogun didn't sign either but now I understand that I know nothing about football 😂

The kiwior situation seems like a tough one. For me, based solely off of last season I'd prefer to keep him over zinny though it seems that him and calafiori operate very similarly. Not only that but then keeping zinchenko gives you another option and style of play. It's a tough call for me but don't think we can be letting kiwior go for any less than 30 mil, would be looking for above 35 though. Keep up the good work Charles!

No loan for Kiwior, they pay up or jog on 😊

I totally agree Charles, that celebration from Stuart "psycho" Pearce after his successful penalty lives with me as a massive England supporter forever, that was pure emotion..... I loved it!!! England forever!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✌️

Hey Charles, love the podcast and keep up the awesome work! How confident are you that arsenal will manage to receive good money for player sales this summer and why is it do you think that this has always been an area which we have struggled with for quite a number of years?

Keep ramsdale unless we get amazing offer. Top teams have two top keepers. Ramsdale can get more Cup action

No one is talking about Rice's double assist to Saka... Not just the pass but his run to create space for Saka to shoot.

Should of kept Arthur...he would of been perfect for our no2

Signing Calafiori would be a good move but when are we going to movement on the other key areas? (Midfield & Forward)

Precipice < Cusp.

Bentley seems like smart business on the surface. Seems like the coaches are banking on him being a number 2 if Ramsdale leaves

I think Calafiori is a replacement for Kiwior, he might have been tempted by an offer to start somewhere...

Q Hi Charles is there a sell on clause in the Cozier-Duberry deal like the was for the Omari Hutchinson?

Charles, where are getting this "3rd choice goalkeeper" idea? We don't need 3. The 3rd always an academy prospect. Whoever is replacing Hein as the 1st choice U21 keeper will step up to that role

kiwior should be our first choice cover at center back and an insurance on left back while zinchenko should be slided as cover in midfield and just insurance at left back during cup games. imagine a zinny-calafiori-kiwior-tomiyasu back four during cup games. league cup and fa cup.

Hi

Was it just me or were Andrew and James throwing some shade at you and TNAT on this week’s Arsecast? They seemed very dismissive of the ‘mystery German player’ links.

The fact that Juve weren’t able to buy Calafiori really lends itself to Kiwior moving there instead. He must be a backup target for them considering their profiles.

Here is a question for you Charles if we sell Partey loan lokonga sell Smith-Rowe and loan Viera who would you like arsenal to get Y.Fofana from Monaco M.Merino from R.Sociedat Eze Zubamendi Bruno G Kimmich chose only 2

A shame about Kiwior. I really like him a well. He should get more of an opportunity than Zinchenko tbh.

Kiwior is a potentially exceptional player but he just doesn't seem a personality fit, he just doesn't seem to express himself he always looks so shy and reserved and there's nothing wrong with that generally but for this squad it stands out

Charles lovely content as usual. Can’t understand why we can’t use Zini as our new El Neyni and bring him in to partner Partey or Jeogi in a two-men midfield. It’s bonkers!!!

Charles, do you think Brazil has underestimated the impact our Arsenal boys could’ve had in the Copa America this year? I realize it might’ve been a bit late for you to watch, but it baffles me that their coach opted to play a 17 year old Endrick (in place of Vini Jr. who was suspended) ahead of a proven and fit Martinelli for that match and only subbed him in the dying minutes to basically just take a pen. With all the Euro success our other players have had in Saka, Saliba, etc. it just seems strange both our boys for Brazil rode the bench this whole tournament. Either way, excited that they’ll have a rest and hopefully be back for a full-ish pre-season. It’d be even better if they just stayed in the US for a their holidays (Copa is hosted in the US this year, so they’re already there) and just join up with the Arsenal camp once they hop over.

Hello Charles, i think Saka is great, but at the end of last 2 seasons, he never perfoms his best because we're overplaying him and England as well, we just need to get a great understudy for him. He's great but needs to be protected as well, i really think Pedro Neto is a great solution for that, Charles i don't know what you think, we talk about his injury record but still bagged 11 assists. I don't know, but anyone Arteta trusts i don't care as long we get understudy in Saka's position.

Has to be said and acknowledged, Arteta has completely messed up the keeper position. Just by the throughput number of keepers we have seen under his management shows this is his weakness.

Like you Charles I think signing Bentley (who did come on as a sub in our home game v Wolves) makes a lot of sense. And I also think signing Calafiori makes loads of sense. But it does make me laugh that in a summer where lots of fans were calling for centre forwards and wingers our first 3 signings *could* be 2 keepers and a defender! Never change Mikel!

HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡

Arsenal needs to fix their connection with the academy. Players like Dubery and Walters should have been sent on loan to a prem team last season for gane time and increase their value. This is where Chelsea is far better

hey have you seen the asprilla news? he is a player i really like at watford and think he would add great depth

What a player, SAKA. I am proud and when he scored the penalty tears of joy flows down my face. To think of what he had to endear last time out. What a player. The future of Arsenal his good - SAKA.

The way Arsenal work, we sell Ramsdale for £25m and then buy Bentley for £20m. We do not need a "thrid" keeper. Similar with Calafiori we have enough cover in defence, Kiwior should be sould for excess of £40m or keep him, unless Gabriel is leaving. Nelson, Nketiah & Jesus should be moved on, and then get a decent attack minded player - however we are like England, we do not shoot. Too slow to build up, vulnerable to a break, see Villa twice last season.

If the only issue with keeping two quality keepers was one not getting game time then that could easily have been solved by regular rotation which originally was what everyone was told when Raya was brought in. That statement fell by the wayside once the dust had settled.

Arsenal don dear

A bit of a random shout for back up keeper (not that I have a day! 😂), but I've long thought that Jason Steele would be a cheap option for back up to Raya if Ramsdale moves on. He'd be inexpensive, has Premier League experience with Brighton, is used to playing out with his feet, home grown and will understand he's the back up.

*Cozier-DUBERRY. Not DOOberry. Do you say the rent is DO? Call of dooty? Sand doones?

Hi Charles, any news about Charlie Patino staying at Arsenal?

Charles, if Kivior goes we will be short defensively. If we are going to compete for all trophies we need a big and strong squad like City.

Such a waste of resources and energy over the Goalkeepers position , when there was nothing wrong with Ramsdale . All this distraction is needless , thanks to ARTETA

What about the English media who had him all over the headlines in previous games where were they with their Headlines when Saka produced the magic? How pathetic, and Horrible is the English News papers shame on them

Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I was hoping the Brazil 🇧🇷 team to win 🏆 the Copa America, because Gabriel Martinelli is the squad.,but the main thing he is fit to return to Arsenal. I am still buzzing about Bukayo Saka scoring for England 🇬🇧 and keeping them in the tournament. COYE to beat the Netherlands 🇳🇱 God willing. Have a good day Charles 😂.

The goalkepper i think is just to make numbers There is a rule that u need to have number of english players on the squad A similar case like carson from city And makes sense if players like emile eddie nelson or ramsdale leave the club

Bentley will be 31 this week and has played 5 PL games in his life … he can’t be a number 2 at a CL /PL chasing club surely… is this link a wind up ?

Hi Charles, Fantastic never to be missed daily content. On the subject of back up keepers in the event Aaron leaves in this window. With no disrespect to Dan Bentley but in my opinion a Wojciech Szczęsny is a far better option as back up to David Raya than Bentley in the event that Raya picks up an injury that keeps him out for more than a couple of games. What are your thoughts on this subject? Cheers, Steve aka southwestgooner #COYG 👍🏻⚽️🔴⚪️

Kiwior isn't good enough. Zinchenko isn't good enough. Vieira isn't good enough. Ramsdale isn't good enough. It's a shame that Smith Rowe and Nketiah are leaving.

Is it Kiwior that is Califiori dependent? Why not Zinchenko? We have an inverted LB option back in the squad with Timber now. Is it purely that there is interest from Italy for Kiwior?

goalkeeper like Dan Bentley or Jason Steele is the perfect number 2, give them games in the cups, maybe even a UCL game here and there, and they should probably be happy, sell Ramsdale for a bit of money and make him happy too, overall I think it's a win for all.

Califiori should be utilized as a DM, this way we can keep Kiwiori

I hope players who have been at the euros are nowhere near the USA tour, it would be madness to drag them out there!

Arsenal need a proper Striker! Dont forget what we need the most!! Edu and Arteta must focus on Striker positions!

I dont think many people realise that Calafiori has played more as LB in his career than CB, huh.

Hi Charles, do we get any fee for ACD going to Brighton?

Has Arteta extended his contact yet?

Why would arsenal sell kiwior? Zini is a midfielder. Calafiori is going to play left back. Kiwior and Tomiyasu will be the back up centerbacks

I don't want us to sell kiwior I'd prefer to sell zinchenko, I think kiwior has improved a lot in the short time he's been with us. And although Poland didn't have a great euros kiwior stood out as being onee of their best players in a poor underachieving team. I was watching him from left back come into midfield when Poland had the ball and it brought a smile to my face you could see the effect of Artetas coaching on him. I think he is only going to get better and I don't see the benefit of selling a player who is on an upward trajectory. He won't be moving to a team where he's going to be first choice. Plus Italian teams almost never pay the transfer fee that the player is worth they always look to low ball teams. I can't see any Italian team paying 25 to 30 million for Kiwior and he's worth it we paid 17. 5 million pounds for him. I'm not against loaning him but selling him snt a great move unless we are going to get 10 million more than we paid for him. And I just can't see any Italian club paying 27 million for a player who's not going to be first choice. So for me it makes no sense I'd rather us sell zinchenko who I feel has reached his ceiling and isn't going to improve much more than we've seen already. Where as kiwior will only get better. Keep him and watch him grow loan him is fine but only sell if we make a v healthy profit on him.

Saka should try shooting a lot more, it has to be his game style like cr7 back then in his utd days or robben trademark finish. Until england conceded he starting shooting and he got a goal after his first try.

Can’t really be surprised when any young RW leaves us, their pathway to the first team is impossible

Arteta & Edu should be eyeing Diego Costa from Portugal or Jan Oblak from Slovenia instead of that wolves goalkeeper?

Don't know why zinco is not being link out of the club...

Hi Charles 👋 What's your favourite type of cheese? 🧀

Wake up Sancho! Declan Rice passed to Saka and then dragged the defender with him opening up the opportunity for the shot on goal. Can’t believe how little credit Rice received for his performance.

Kiwior is a left CB and he can back up Gabriel. Signing Calafiori gives us 7 well-tested natural defenders. I don’t see a reason to sell Kiwior except he desires to leave.

I honestly dont understand why we cant keep Rambo. we can keep him and he competes with raya.. doesn't make sense to go for bentley

Get a striker and mid Fielder bro

Whe need gyokeres not califiory

saka proved again hes a better player than foden by performing on the international level

Nothing new here. Are we going to buy anybody other than Caliafiori?

Kiwior Must Stay, Arteta should keep the Valuable members of the squad Together , It's pointless to get other Players and then get rid of the Old ones, Nketiah, Nelson, Tavares, Sambi can leave and Maybe Ramsdale but the others are usefil sqauad members

What a hypocrite you are Charles. Good for Arsenal that Brazil goes out as you are Arsenal first with the two Gabriels coming home but you follow that up with that you hope England beats Holland. Be consistent and cheer for Holland so our three players at England gets to go home! Arsenal first remember?

Arsenal is a small club... When Real Madrid identifies a player, it's a matter weeks before the deal gets done... Arsenal negotiate until another club comes to scoop the player... Pathetic...

I feel Ramsdale is overrated, yes he had a good spell when No.1 but he has shown he is mentally fragile. I don’t think Raya is much better but I’m not the owner. In regard of Jakob Kiwior I think he’s a decent LB but was exposed in certain game I.e Bayern Munich. Zini best position isn’t a LB. Defensively a huge liability. We need to be in market for a certi LB other than Calafori (we need two LB in this summer window).
