Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we chat about Sunday's 3-0 win over Man City in the Community Shield. We start with the brilliant early goal we scored through Riccardo Calafiori, and the superb vision of Myles Lewis-Skelly, before some focus on Martin Odegaard and Christos Tzolis as two players who really caught the eye. We also discuss David Raya, promising signs from Arsenal's performance in terms of our attacking play, and the competitive debut for Bruno Guimaraes, before attention turns to players who weren't there and what we might read into the absence of Gabriel Martinelli in particular. In part two we answer questions about Arsenal's transfer business, amid confusion around aspects of the finances. If we could buy Vinicius Junior and pay his wages, why is it being reported we need to sell, and is it coincidence that it's players like Lewis-Skelly, Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri most strongly linked with moves away? Other questions touch on a new defender, season motivations for Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, and lots more besides.

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.

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.

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.
