In this episode James and I chat about Eddie Nketiah's contract extension, a show of faith in him, as well as the salary, how he still has lots to prove (that's not a bad thing), and wearing number 14. We also tie in the contract renewal of Bukayo Saka as they share the same agent. Then there's transfer talk with the imminent arrival of Fabio Vieira, links to Lisandro Martinez, and James explains why there might not be major urgency over Youri Tielemans. On top of that, listener questions about the money we're spending, the 'draw' of Arsenal in its current guise, ethics and sponsorships and if the two things can exist side by side, the difficulties of selling players and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
