Arsenal latest news: Smith Rowe transfer talks | Bruno update | Biereth latest | Patino's future

[@gustavagren2976]

ESR and Saka will always be Arsenal players for me ❤ pulled us thru the worst times. ESR is quality

[@johndurcan8833]

Arteta needs to rotate more, full stop. With a purchase, there is also an obligation to pick that player. ESR, Eddie, Reece were not bought so the obligation is not there. These players need to push Arteta to play, or just leave, for their own sake.

[@dougsotto9825]

ESR has had defensive lapses (ie Willock's goal vs Newcastle) have kept him on the bench more than playing. IF he pressed like Gallagher, I could see his playtime increase. Gotta be able to play both sides of the ball to play for Arteta.

[@cursebreaker1188]

💯ESR is a fantastic player. Couple of seasons ago before the injuries he was the top man. So disappointing to see him sidelined every week. When he played a full game few months ago he was MOTM.

[@jimmybalantyne5545]

@@cursebreaker1188 It was against Luton and the nomination was, in truth, kind.

[@APOELARA-bt5zh]

I feel that all we Arsenal fans we want ESR to make it at this club. He could have a role to play against teams that will sit deep and defend. As a starter as an 8 (basically a left 10 while attacking), with Rice at the 6 and Odegaard at the 10. Let's hope Mikel remembers who helped him with Saka in 2020-21 and to give back that help to build fitness through gametime.

[@SueMyChin]

Go watch his cameo vs villa and come back. He's not good enough without the ball to play in this team.

[@briangreenidge8191]

Arteta needs to have a real go at all competitions and properly rotate the team, that way Smith-Rowe will get plenty of opportunities.

[@hjort1973]

Hi Charles. Would it have merit to offer a sum plus Ramsdale to Newcastle for Alexander Isak. It would mean we are a bit short on goalkeeper, but in my opinion Okonkwo is a decent keeper, certainly good enough for a backup cup keeper. Newcastle have shown interest in Rambo, why not try to use him as a deal sweetener for Isak.

[@jimkyomuhendo9459]

ESR is closer to being a starter than most players who seat on the Arsenal bench. If any of the starters i.e. Ordegard or Rice is unavailable, ESR starts. His only "Bad luck" is that those players have been fit the whole season. So, I don't see why Arsenal should sell him. We all want a strong squad and ESR is one player that makes our squad better. Arsenal cannot afford to weaken the squad.

[@Paddywan6]

Feels like we've properly hit silly season now. I somehow tricked my mum into becoming an Arsenal fan last/this season. She's now watching your show as her transfer window homework. Spare a thought for her when suddenly Mika Biereth is the story of the day and she rightly has no idea who he is. I'd love to know the proper story on Smith Rowe. I've been rewatching All or Nothing and some of the comments in that make me wonder if he just doesn't fit what Arteta wants on some level. He made mention of how he needs to properly understand a person before he can work with them and ESR seems that little bit more shy or closed off than most in the squad. I can't quite decide yet whether I feel Arteta should have been able to get more out of the player or if there's something he sees that we don't. Time will tell and at this point giving Mikel the benefit of the doubt is the logical choice but it still feels like a bit of a failure of management from the outside.

[@AshTalksData]

If we sell ESR, Ramsdale, Nketiah and Nelson where does that leave our home grown quota in the squad? Off the top of my head I can only think of Saka, Rice, White and maybe Saliba. Would this be our strategy going into the transfer market? There is hope for Olise and Eze Thanks Ashley

[@aggrey1032]

Hi Charles, I always look forward for your daily updates. Question If Ramsdale does leave, could Arthur Okonkwo be the 2nd choice keeper, given his impressive loan at Wrexham

[@SueMyChin]

ESR played in the villa game, he lost an ariel duel in the build up to the first goal. For the 2nd goal he's deepest man, completely switched off to Watkins run and couldn't prevent the goal. To play in this team you need to do better. Smith-Rowe has to go unfortunately.

[@jacobalexander4167]

Yes, even against Newcastle at the Emirates, he switched off and watched willow stream rolled behind him for his goal against us, even at westham too, he's defensive frailties outweighs Jo's impact same as zinchenko imo

[@alanthomson5097]

Spot on with your comments on Bruno.

[@hakonekeroth492]

I am suprised no one is talking about Kimmich. He got one year left off his deal and would be on a cheap. Good nr 2, 6 or 8. Winning mentality and ofc «if you cant beat em, join em». Only downside is that he is 29, but we dont really need to recoup money on him as he would be cheap. 3+1 yr deal and then we could sell him when he is 31 for a okey sum or run down his deal. I think he along with a striker and cover for saka could win us both the PL and CL in the next two years.

HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡

[@ceapothecary8535]

Hey Charles. Chidi from Houston Listened to this after the FA game and I had to laugh after you saying no way ManU wins. Lol. Good game though. Anyone but city…

[@adamc5848]

Hi Charles, thanks for the daily updates. Couple of questions if I may… Firstly, with the profit and sustainability rules, is it more likely we’ll see player swaps become more common? Could we for example offer ESR to pay off the Raya fee with Brentford. We know Newcastle are interested in Rambo so could we use him in part to fund Bruno? If this is feasible, what more wild example could you picture happening? Secondly, any update on Carlos Cuesta and links to Norwich - we know Ben Knapper moved there and they need a new manager, I fear he’d be a bit of a loss to the back room staff. Cheers Charles!

[@SeanNannan]

ESR needs to get more game time.A player cannot perform consistently if they are not given a decent chance.I believe any player can excel if they are afforded sufficient game time.ESR looks like a very capable player

[@iykeharrison9161]

Selling Smith Rowe at this point in time will be a bad move. His value has depreciated a lot. Arteta should keep him and use him more next season in the left 8 or left wing.

[@AaronAlexandre-mc8nw]

Charles, you mentioned it will be difficult to see Arsenal do early transfer business this summer. Sesko's release clause is valid until 6/30 and Guimaraes's one is valid until 6/24. If we are actually trying to sign either one of them, shouldn't we do some early business and lay the groundworks? At least, before the Euros and Copa we should hear some significant news on whether we sign them or not right?

[@NickBramwell]

Our problems this term were all on the left side of the pitch. I would have thought that ESR is part of that solution, Nwaneri too. We were discussing the need for a player that can pluck a bit of magic from thin air... ESR. In terms of Biereth, he has been used as the right prong in a 4231 system, so has not scored as many as when Sturm played him as a straight 9. They probably did this to reduce his price, because they want him. What I have seen from the highlight is that he is making improvements to the odd side of a striker's job. We'd be mugs not to let him go cheaply. Shame about Patino, what a range of passes. I would love to see him devellop by playing alongside Jorji in a 4231 system. I am sure that he would have worked well like that. Shame that there was a change of manager at Swansea. I don't fancy his football philosophy.... tooo alerdice for my taste.

[@kikkyvfm]

ESR was on the bench because he was injured while other teammates progressed. He will have to keep himself clean and injury free to have a chance anywhere

[@wildbobsadventures]

Charles, the thing is with transfers out we also need to take into account the home grown status of our squad. We can't go selling all our home grown stars.

*Smith Rowe Future & FFP* Charles, great show as always. Very long time subscriber, 2nd time commenter. Do you think FFP is tempting clubs to cash in on academy players?

Hello Charles I keep seeing this question: Would you rather keep ESR or Reiss I believe reiss should be sold because he is just pure profit and he gets no game time but I’d like to hear your opinion on it? Sky from London

[@mattswinnerton9892]

Don’t understand the logic that arsenal don’t have money to spend on a ceiling raiser transfer this summer? Nketiah, smith Rowe, patino, reiss nelson all likely to be sold which is pure profit as home grown, plus partey and ramsdale probably leaving. I’d be amazed if that doesn’t allow at least £100m for a top level transfer before any budget we have already

[@fabioruiz6602]

Even if you sell all those players and raise 100m. It's negligence to use all of it on one player when you've lost about 6 players. We don't need to spend 100m on one player per se. What we need is quality scouting. I'm in the belief that there are plenty of players that could improve us for less than that. We just have to scout them properly

[@docharry999]

[@Allaywastaken]

Hi Charles, After a pretty decent loan spell at Millwall, is there any chance of Brooke Norton-Cuffy staying to become a back up right back? He has played mostly as a wing back / right mid, would that mean that we would look to sell him due to him potentially not fitting the system?

[@razbusari703]

I suspect Arteta has a trust issue with ESR. Can he be trusted to stay fit and string half a dozen or a dozen back-to-back games together. His injuries are clearly a bother. I wish ESR, but it might be better for both parties to move on.

[@QuaidPadre]

Should play as Xhaka's replacement . With the injury sorted, he will combine well with GM11. GM11 hasn't really been at it since Xhaka left.

The only way we are going to climb the levels is if we cut the emotional fan mindset. Look at City, they sell instantly if a player doesn't work. We stick with too many under performing players. ESR is a baller but you can replace him.

As a long term Gooner, I... alongside many others..... have seen Emile develop and it deeply saddens me that he will have to move on to continue his career instead of being at The Arsenal.

[@ikeman9784]

Charles, i think we're all overthinking this. The only reason why esr wasnt used as much is cos we got knocked out so early in all the cup competitions... Also our starting 3 in midfield just got into such a groove that it was almost impossible to replace anyone. If as reported lokanga el neny partey esr are all leaving then who the hell do we have left?? We need depth and no top quality elite player is gonna come to Arsenal to ride the bench. Let's be realistic if we're gonna spend 30-50m it will be on a player that's gonna be about esr quality and will also have to accept they'll be a bench player.. Personally think we keep esr and add another DM if partey leaves.. Our main target should be bringing in a young hungry attacking player. A player like kudus will take us to the next level but i know west ham fans will go mad if he leaves to arsenal 😆 🤣

[@gaya4d90s]

I have never heard you champion Viera's worth as much as you do Smith. Viera is also young and needs to play. While Smith Rowe has been injured, the team moved on. He has to fight for a regular spot as everyone else. He would need a preseason to do that. If not, he has the right to move on.

[@kennyego9264]

It is time for ESR to look elsewhere for opportunities to use its talent rather than becoming a bench warmer. To be honest, fans like you, Watts, who believe Arsenal should keep ESR are doing him no favours. It is clear that he is not in Arteta's plans, and I believe Arsenal has given him numerous opportunities to demonstrate his abilities but has failed to deliver. He needs to join another club to showcase his abilities and become very good. Without a doubt, he is a good player who does not fit into Arsenal's current style. The same goes for Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, and the other benchwarmers. Give new incoming players a chance to join Arsenal and add to our power, so we can win the EPL and other competitions next season.

Hi Charles, for a while people have been talking about how Newcastle need to sell and as such we are linked with Isak and Bruno. Great. (It's important to acknowledge that they'd never sell both this Window and certainly not to the same Rival so you would have to choose.) But my question under these circumstances is this: Why aren't we ALL IN for Sandro Tonali?!? With Havertz & jesus and limited money what we need more is MF. Yes? Sandro Tonali is a better MF defender than Bruno and more readily wants to sit back in front of the CBs than be Box-to-Box. He is a better passer from MF to Final-Third than Bruno. He is faster than Zubimendi -- and his month playing in Newcastle showed he is 100% able to destroy the best the Premier League can throw at him. Flat out-- he is a better DM than Bruno; he is a slightly better CM than Bruno; he's younger than both. And if Newcastle HAVE to sell an asset, a big asset, they really DON'T want to be forced to sell Isak OR Bruno. And Tonali only had a few games there (where he was awesome) so the Toon-clowns won't be too hard out if they sell him. - W E Ray

If Kai havertz was an arsenal player, I am sure the likes of you and Arsenal would have sold him for 15million if he had underperformed like he did at Chelsea.
