In this Sunday episode of the show, James and I discuss what's been going on at the Euros, England's draw with Scotland, coaches being conservative rather than brave and how that applies to Gareth Southgate, and there is the beginning of what is going to be an Olympic karate/Hollywood sensation. Then we answer listener questions about the timing of our transfer business, selling players we like at an earlier age, looking to South America for signings this window, Aubameyang playing some casual football during the off-season, that lot down the road trying to secure a new manager, and lots more besides.Here is the Thiago Alcantara interview mentioned in the podcast.Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 628 - Squad depth
In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the issue of squad depth. With no Europe next season, how far do we need to trim the numbers – at times last year Arsenal had a 33+ man panel. Who might be able to provide versatility to cover in various positions? Just how much midfield recruitment do we need, taking into account some of the names we've been linked with? We also chat potential comings and goings in every area of the team, from front to back, including the need for at least one goalkeeper before the season starts, and maybe two. All that and lots more,.Follow Lewis @LGAmbroseIf you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month. Hosted on Acast.
