Hello everyone and welcome to Inside Arsenal.
In today's show I discuss Kieran Tierney, who discussed his sadness after playing his last game for Real Sociedad on Saturday. I also look at what you have been saying about Emile Smith Rowe and Mika Biereth ahead of scheduled talks over their future.

2:15 - Tierney's goodbye
6:03 - City sunk
7:40 - Smith Rowe reaction
13:14 - Biereth's future

[@user94133]

Tierney is a prime example and reminder that we must stay away from injury prone players. Sell those we have eg Tierney /Jesus/Partey, and don't consider buying eg Neto. It's serious business in order to win trophies and theres no place for excess sentimentality... sadly

[@JonMotivationalRend]

Will we ever learn

[@henryeweama2270]

​@@JonMotivationalRendwe never learn. I'm seeing Michel Olise as an option for Saka back up!😮 With his poor injury record? We never learn

[@Nostradanus86]

💯 bro !!😮 😢😮‍💨😌😔🥺😭😱

[@patricklindley1660]

Check parteys injury record before he joined arsenal. Not all players are a guarantee. It's not just an arsenal issue.

[@Lineonthedials]

Easy to forget what a breath of fresh air Tierney was when we signed him. We were lacking leadership and steel, he brought that to the team. He was seen as a future captain for good reason in a side lacking leaders.

[@oeckstei]

Thankfully Mikel Got Odegaard, Rice, and even Gabriel M. Is showing some leadership at the back. I miss Tierney’s mentality but it’s the injuries.

[@lurch1129]

In my opinion, anyone who thinks the Aguero match is a better end to a season is insane! City played at home to QPR, a team that just avoided relegation, and went down to 10 men at 1-1. We played at Anfield against the reigning league champions, the dominant English team of the decade, and arguably the best team in Europe at the time. There is absolutely no question which was the better achievement, and the more exciting end to a season.

[@leonbell5141]

Hmmm

[@stevebandit1964]

I think a lot of the younger generation haven't either seen or understood what Arsenal did that night ! A one off shootout between the top two !

[@shamsham1983]

Both Tierney and ESR can be Captain of another club. They don’t have to stay as backup players. Arsenal players like Mbappe, Palmer, Luka Modric, Alphonso Davies, Eder Militao , John Stones, Federico Valverde, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Pedri, Nicolò Barella..

[@oeckstei]

I’m excited about Chido Obi Martin, hope we can see him in 1-2 years in a cup game if not next season.

[@Gunnerian]

I was there with my Dad, he never went to away games but I convinced him we had a chance. Sadly he broke his ribs on the crush barriers when Thomas's goal hit the net. He was moaning and groaning, I said what are you moaning for we've just won the league. I've been to every cup final since 79 & hundreds of other games, but Anfield 89 is and will remain the best ever Arsenal moment of my life without doubt.

[@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. Love the show, cheers from Norway

[@lovelburts3765]

Gutted to see Tierney go.. In my opinion he was our best left back defensively. Just couldn't adopt to the inverted role..

[@Mowlo]

Great Content Sir.. Sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@OLIMAC_21]

I think bringing him back will be a good idea, specially if we plan to sell Zinchenko. As long as Tierney is happy to be second or third option I can see him as a good back up. Could be the new Rob Holding type of substitute that can come in and close out a 1-0 victory.

[@user94133]

The two FA Cup gosls show that you don’t always need 20, 30 passes to building up good goal scoring chances, something we needed to learn in certain types of games.

[@martynquinn7879]

Hello Charles, with all our South American links and scouts isn't about time we tap into that market better? And I'm not talking about Marquinhos type signing. Someone young who will be a good squad player and pick up minutes from the bench,Cup games etc City and Brighton do it well . Chelsea are making moves into that market. Thanks Martyn

[@RajabuLukanza]

Hello Charles, You're absolutely right about Michael Thomas's moment, Charles. Left me give you a bit my story about that moment, i was a 10 years old kid and it was my second day in England me and my family, i remember it was night i can't remember the day, my first game to watch in England it was that one. I couldn't understand English. i remember Thomas scoring the second goal. Everyone was going mad after Thomas scoring. I didn't understand at the time Arsenal had to score two goals to win the title. i remember after he scored, everyone was going crazy. That game was a reason for me being an Arsenal supporter from that day. Also, remember Frank Bruno HP advertised all the time. I remember really loving that advertisement.

[@waynemarshall8836]

Haha funny story especially re bruno and that awful sauce

[@RajabuLukanza]

​@@waynemarshall8836That's my memories of those years my friend, Charles, was absolutely right. That's the bigger moment than the Aguero moment. He reminded me of that moment and how i started supporting Arsenal.

[@AlexAFC7]

Smith Rowe is a good player, just too many injuries, so we need to let go of him so we can get someone that'll make us fight for the league by being fit to play.

[@Slim2Flo]

If its esr or viera id keep esr another season. Id completely revamp our bench though if we can get bruno, nico, and osimhen for our first 11, players like neves, summerville, diomande/silva, kadioglu, ugarte, onana, kudus, matt oriley, guerra with martinelli/trossard/jesus backup wingers and havertz backup CAM/ST.

[@mrsmith3930]

I was 29 watching it in the pub. 11 years later I was working next door at Watford which was an interesting experience. I have met several Arsenal players and they all seemed like nice and humble lads,

[@jhonnybravoh]

It’s up for grabs now!

[@samuelonma7759]

The comment on Leeds and Southampton is so professional 😊

[@chrisgibsonperformancecoachthe]

Good afternoon Charles thanks for a brilliant show. For the money we will get for Kiren Tierney. I think keeping him is the best option considering we now inverting on the right. He’s good cover at left back and centre back who we know is very sound defensively if we need a left back to invert we now have timber. And it saves us having to go into the market for a defender in the summer thanks for all your hard work regards Chris.

[@P2eazy]

Hello Charles, nice show as always. I’m always looking forward to your show every day. To be fair I think if Tierney was at the Bayern game at home Arsenal wouldn’t have conceded that second goal. I totally understand the injuries have not helped him but he’s a really top player.

[@vt3553]

Big up Charles🙌

[@steveharwoodAFCTV]

Charles if we don't get 25mill MIN for Tierney, let's keep him as great squad player. His natural old school left back, Great going forward and pinpoint crosses. We need absolute quality for squad rotation. Steve AFCTV

[@alfredthegreat9543]

Nobody will pay that for him- sadly he's always getting injured. He won't be back in our squad, can't have a slot taken by someone so injury prone like him, and we'll take whatever is offered. Last year he was openly for sale and not one club enquired.

[@datguyd]

Think we'll be lucky to get 15 mil for him

[@robinlove6981]

Some people just can't let go or read the room. He is not wanted by Arteta, he isn't the player we need. Cut ties take what we can get and let the lad play regular football instead of a third choice lb

[@user-hn3lm5vh1s]

Charles you are obsessed about ESR!!! He’s not that good full stop. Would he get in city’s squad no, would he get in at Madrid no!! We want to win things

[@ikeman9784]

Horrific injury record we'll be lucky to get 15m for him. That LB role is covered if we can keep Timber and Tomi fit. Even kiwior is decent there.. We need to be thinking about another goal scoring attacking player and a DM to replace Partey..

[@domagojhrgovic7419]

We need a left back, so I wouldn't be against keeping Tierney. With Rice now playing at left 8, we don't necessarily need an inveted left back to progress the play. We need a more attacking option to help Martinelli.

[@trevorg2128]

It’s nothing to do with his ability it’s the injuries

[@saunakmitra]

Great content Charles.. I agree with your opinions on selling the players like Nketiah, Nelson, Biereth, and Patino.. Yes, they would help us on FFP, however, all of them are also homegrown players. So if we do sell these homegrown players, how to we plan to replace their count on the squad? If we just sign the primary targets that are going in the media right now, we might end up low on this aspect right?

[@INHeadKay]

Charles, on ESR and homegrown. I think its good for football when you consider that teams are now incentivised to produce football talent. So its good for the game just not good for fans of a team who get emotionally attached to a player. But the sport grows. I do however think we need to consider that Arsenal have two more UCL games (and tougher opponents throughout) and we need to win a domestic cup. We need a squad. Selling should only be for reinvestment IMO.

[@afrocrypto3101]

Hi Charles, regarding Vincent Kompany; I think you are missing the forest for the trees. I would go out on a limb to say that he has more experience under his belt than Arteta and Alonso were when they were appointed by Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen respectively. Barcelona appointed Xavi after a few years in the Middle East as well. Kompany might fail but I think this might be the new way to go as the managers I have mentioned above have shown. Fantastic show by the way, it’s part of my morning routine

[@AJ-cy6iz]

Both from Charles and Harry S we see confirmation that selling ESR instead of Vieira would be a financial decision, not a footballing and squad strength decision. Just important to have that established, regardless of what Mikel and Edu decide.

[@a-a-ron3286]

Hello Charles, Thanks for the great content. Combining some things you were saying in the last shows, I was thinking, that selling ESR and loaning out Vieira in the summer could be a good idea. ESR isn't trusted enough by Mikel could command a decent fee, Vieira doesn't have the market, and wouldn't get many offers this summer. A good loan could do him and Arsenal a world of good. As replacements we surely need one 8 who Arteta really trusts and can rotate/start with Odegaard and giving the other spot to Nwaneri to have the kind of minutes ESR and Vieira were having and giving him the pathway he needs. Do you think it's enough cover or should at least one of ESR and Vieira be kept?

[@paulmedlyn6155]

Hi Charles have you heard if there will there be an emirates cup this year? Also will we play in the charity shield?. Thanks.

[@jdreeves04]

Q: Hi Charles love your content makes my morning coffee routine alot more interesting! with whispers of cuesta and albert possibly moving on to management, is it more likely we move for an ex player e.g cazorla or fabregas, promote from within like wilshere or try and pinch from othe bigs clubs like jover

[@vetpara]

Hi Charles, Arteta falling out of love with Smith-Rowe is such a strange one. I can't help but wonder whether players who are dribblers... end up in worse defensive positions when they lose the ball (where as players who pass the ball recover into position quicker). I agree with TNAT's comment that he is probably a LW. Not as intense as Martinelli or as clinical as Trossard unfortunately. How about a Tomiyasu-like contract extension and a season on loan to Palace. Who knows Palace might get into the top 4 after all.

[@Smudgerz]

Hi Charles, with all the talk of departures and especially homegrown players. With the likes of ESR, Eddie, Nelson and Ramsdale possibly moving on. Will we need to buy domestic players to fill the quota?

[@Gunnercoops]

I was surprised when we bought Veira out of the blue and nothing has happened with his performances over two years to change my opinion, it was £30 million down the drain and we’ll end up moving him on for a massive loss

[@anthonyhorsnall1516]

Tierneys crosses to Havertz could really emphasise Tierneys main strength that was wasted with Auba and Laca. Food for thought.

[@Ferino44]

Crosses in the 5 games he would be injury-free throughout the season? :)

[@anthonyhorsnall1516]

Yes he’s be a squad player rather than a starter if we kept him. I’d still sell if we could get some money but he’s a good player.

[@briancoyle5159]

Hi Charles after the Bayern game everyone was saying we need a world class forward. I don’t really get that. surely it is Saka ? How much more do you think he can improve ? Can he be our Salah or Hazard for example. I don’t think he was at 100% much of last year. If he gets fully fit i think he can be one of the best players in world. I know people were saying we need something unpredictable like what does that even mean ?

[@victorobrien9011]

Fofana midfielder from monaco, xavi Simons, Dlomande defender sporting Lisbon, would be great signings

[@weeds56]

The problem us fans have is the we take a liking to or hold great value in a player, invest in understanding the player as a player and a person and then they're taken away from us and they end up playing for the opposition. Is it really worthwhile?

[@williamfrancis5546]

Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I personally would like Kieran Tierney to stay at Arsenal because he is a talented footballer player and he can score goals and provide assists when fit. Have a good day Charles 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.

[@TheKingSkillsBW67]

Ipswich play good football. Offer them loans for both ESR10 and Vieira…and Nketiah. These boys could easily become the best players with regular game time. I’m so sure about it. They’re not poor. Game time and patience has not been on their side, plus injuries.

[@conradhailey9866]

He does the same thing with every player with a significant injury even waited weeks to start partey after he was fit I just think it's artetas process when it comes to injured players I think people are over thinking it if we played Coventry on the fa cup both those players would of started

[@deeptangshusarkar8868]

Charles said he was absolutely 'delighted' to see united win the FA cup. My question to him would be who had a better season between arsenal and united ? absolutely embarrassing !!

[@potentialswillrule]

It's a silly question really, yes man utd got a trophy but i wouldn't want to be in their position again, we are closer to winning the PL than they are. I wouldn't want to even swap with Liverpool although they have top 4 and a cup. We took city to the last day of the season with a hard run, finishing where Man utd did or bottling the league like Liverpool would've left us going backwards

[@davidwilkinson4102]

I am seventy and I was at Anfield met two kids at the station who had tickets but were waiting for one of their Dads to turn up with money to get there. Got the last train to Liverpool and have never seen so many grown men cry at the end of any game. Getting back to Lime street was not easy in fact the police commandeered a bus to get us there. Unforgettable night.

[@JoshRay-gp5le]

With Leeds staying down. Would you take Gnonto as a saka back up ?

[@AdamPort41]

Hi Charles, who was the last academy product we moved on that we made an error with? Players like iwobi, willock, balogun, that fans were reluctant for us to sell but it’s been shown to be the correct decision. Maybe Gnabry for me

[@kunimitsune177]

No one was reluctant to sell iwobi lmao

[@KC_Runz]

I fully appreciate Mikel has forgotten more than I will ever know about football management & coaching, but I really am baffled why Kieran Tierney isn't his type of player. Of course the injuries are an issue but no more than Tomi's are & you can't tell me Zinny is a better defensive LB than Kieran. Sure he wasn't the best inverting but as you pointed out Ben White is, so for me I'd love a 'Proper defender' who offers a decent overlap or cross when needed at LB & that for me is Kieran Tierney all over.... Cheers Charles. Kris.

[@wildchild3862]

Well its pretty clear that mikel prefers a left back that is very comfortable on the ball and able to step into midfield. The way we play out from the back its important with a press resistant left back. Tierney is a more classic left back, more defensively strong and not so comfortable on the ball or stepping into midfield.

[@M0J0-RL236]

Tierney is not comfortable on the ball

[@lombechalungumana5438]

I think you have a case of amnesia, Tierneys pace has reduced considerably, injury prone and the crosses you are mentioning are not consistent, wild sometimes can’t invert or pass the ball under pressure, and gets skinned by tricky or fast players. Absolute no. Check his assist record from crossing, really poor.

[@markharrison905]

Tierney is a fine straight forward left back. But he isn't dynamic enough for today's tactics at the competing end.

[@muhammadhanif4113]

In modern football we must be professional. Sell players that we don't need and sign players that can improve us.

[@user-wy3xm8qp2d]

What is happening with the emirates cup this year?

[@m.d8434]

Keep the squad together please. I don't think we are that desperate for new players. This squad is more settled a year older and a year wiser. Keep ESR. Why cant Mika be the striker we need Must it be one of tbe popular names...

[@CojaboBerlin]

Tierney will be in the shopping window with Scotland at the Euros. He will play a number of games for them. German clubs have been interested in the past. Perhaps there are clubs in the Bundesliga who look for a left-back. There are no strong links yet at all. While fit he is definitely worth more than the current €12m value suggests. His book value stands at €6.48m. Everything above would be profit. We should be able to sell him for at least €9m.

[@stanadams5541]

Tierney is a very very good player but he has a different style to what Arteta wants he will be an asset to whoever he goes to.......

[@TheKingSkillsBW67]

Loan out ESR10! Vieira cannot be sold! We must loan them out to an PL team where they can play more games. They’re amazingly talented young players! This Arsenal team progressed so quickly people now forget just how good these boys are and that they were only affected by injuries to keep progressing with the rest of the team. If we sell now anyway, we’re not gonna get value. But a loan offers the chances to both raise value and also to unlock their potential through the rehabilitation of regular games weekly. Then the options are open afterwards.

[@livelearnandteach7402]

Whenever I watch the Thomas goal in 89, I still think he's gonna miss.

[@johnnewton5050]

Hi Charles, any chance that Arsenal makes a move for Conor Gallagher this summer? Chelsea need to sell and I feel like he is a hard-working player with a lot of versatility in the midfield. He is Premier League proven and could develop a very nice partnership with Rice due to the England connection. I'd rather spend the money on a local established Premier League player like Gallagher rather than a player like Zubimendi who is talented but might need time to adapt to the league and culture.

[@mussieteshomehaile4742]

Mussie from Ethiopia my question 3 Conor Gallagher from Chelsea he could replace who ever left between ESR or veira?

[@OutHere302]

It's all great and well talking about Anfield 89 but we need to celebrating trophies now, seeing man utd win the fa cup after a terrible prem season is annoying, arteta has to win the a trophy next season if he don't he needs to go, at least a league cup or fa cup if we don't win the league, if we finish with no trophy arteta has to go

[@Ruony24]

So it's basically ESR for PSR

[@jimchongo1878]

Smith must stay. We need him. Our squad is thin already. We need to start competing for everything including carabao cup and FA cup on top of EPL and champs league. Like this season, we sacrificed both domestic cups and ended up not winning the league. Now Manchester united look like they've be had a better season than us because of that FA cup . We need good back ups to rotate.

[@rickydawson7388]

There are a few truths here. (1) Tierney is the best leftback in the PL and the ONLY leftback at Arsenal. (2) Arteta refuses to play with a leftback, and so the team has been targeted on the left, and therefore came up on the short end of two league title races. Lost by 4 and 2 points respectively. (3) Arteta doubled and tipped down this last season. Not only refusing to play a leftback for the whole season by loaning Tierney out, but also he refused to play a center-forward for the whole season, and a midfielder for half the season. He played Havertz instead, who is neither a center-forward nor central midfielder. Do the math. A whole season with two positions without specialists. We've come second twice. Now Arsenal fans think it's a great idea for Arteta to keep Havertz and Vieira, while selling ESR, Nketiah, and Tierney...the three team positions we've neglected between the last two seasons and came short on the title because of it. Add right-winger into that equation because Arteta prefers to play Saka with a broken ankle than to give Reiss Nelson valuable minutes. The problem is Arteta, not the players. There is no doubt that Arteta is going to be a great manager, but expect to be in the top four but not win anything. He needs to learn to use the whole squad, substitute, rotate, and play specialists in position if he will win trophies.

[@hinamoto7235]

Hi Charles , Henry from Melbourne here thanks for your show one of the highlights of my day , why doesn’t arsenal show interested in stuttgarts serhou guirassy? His a decent st and won’t break the bank ? What’s your opinion on this since we always linked with a striker? Cheers Henry

[@simonspoke]

Hey Charles, great work as always. I think there might be something overlooked by everyone for this summers transfer window. People are saying players like Nketiah, Reiss, Ramsdale and ESR are going to be, or should be, sold. But if they all are, we won't have enough players on the books to fulfill the 8 players of the "Homegrown Rule". I believe we only have 11 homegrown in the squad at the moment, which means unless we buy another homegrown (Or if an under 21 comes of age and enters the squad), not all of those players can be sold. So maybe one, or more of them will stay for next season? What are your thoughts on this?

[@simonspoke]

The 11 by the way... Gabriel Martinelli David Raya Ben White Bukayo Saka William Saliba Emile Smith Rowe Declan Rice Reiss Nelson Eddie Nketiah Aaron Ramsdale James Hillson

[@kunimitsune177]

You don't NEED home-grown players in the squad. It's NOT a quota. The home-grown rule is that there are 8 slots RESERVED FOR home-grown players. It's literally not worth talking about.

[@simonspoke]

@@kunimitsune177 You CAN'T have more than 17 non-homegrown players in a 25 man premier league squad, of which we had a full 25 registered this past season. Saying it like we NEED 8 homegrown players is basically the same thing because we want a full squad right? I know we are letting some other players go already, but that is probably with the presumption that we will be getting more in to fill those spots with better quality, and probably ones that are not homegrown to be honest. We still need to keep that homegrown tally for next season if we are to have a full squad though. Of course there is always the possibility that we might not have a full squad,. But if you are competing for titles, I think it's prudent to have a full squad right? So I personally think it is something worth talking about.

[@postsurrealfish]

I am thinking that selling home grown talent could also have a first buy back clause in with their sales and so giving the player the incentive to be a success at their new club and so consequently, wanted to be brought back into the family at a latter date.

[@nashosombe1040]

Emile Smith Rowe is the current version of Jack Wilshire. Many need to make peace with that, let him go and get another reliable player in (who could be even better than him (yes they do exist))

[@ryandanaher8682]

Great show as always Charles. Also just wants to say I loved your book. My question for you is about our need for a left back. In my opinion, we should address this position. Would you consider selling Zinchenko? If so, who would you like to see signed as his replacement? Realistically, what are Arsenal likely to do with our left back situation?

[@user-dx1qf7qg8y]

Tierney is decent, but our fullbacks are set with Timber, Zinny, Tomi and Kiwior able to play the position. He should leave for his own future. I think he will be a good fit for Newcastle.

[@page20000]

[@user94133]

The club should reflect on and rectify why Chelsea manage to sell young players for much more whohad profiles aren't even matching Biereth!?

[@anthonywilliams-vx2kz]

The reason Smith Rowe isn't injured is because he isn't playing he's another injury prone player sad but we have to let him go

[@dougsotto9825]

Is Gary O'Driscoll (former Arsenal team doctor and current United team doctor) cursed? We have had huge injury lists when he was here to very few and United had a shopping list of injuries in his first year.

[@dveryblueblood]

I believe Tierney still has a big role at Arsenal. He's obviously better than Zinchenko, and gets the best out of Martinelly

[@briancoyle5159]

Maybe I’ll be wrong but if we sell ESR and keep Viera it makes no sense to me. ESR is different to anything we have. I have seen nothing from Viera to suggest he will be a success at Arsenal. Although if we are going to mess him around for another year i hope we sell him as its is just not fair on him. The way arteta treats some players is not right.

[@ianthepreneur]

ESR time at Colney is over; all the best to the Croydon De Bruyne.

[@pgl0897]

As much as I’d rather keep ESR, it’s actually more frustrating to have him and watch him rot on the bench, so I’d rather he went elsewhere and shows what he can do when he gets a run of games.

[@thejapanesesandman1]

Hello Charles, I really appreciate your work. Regarding the rumours about Ferdi kadıoğlu going to Arsenal: Do you thing the fact that Ferdi and Arteta have the same agent could affect could affect the negotiations if the rumours are true. Best regards// Daniel

[@garydenty9205]

A 100% fit Tierney is an asset to any side but like Partey, Jesus, Rowe he probably plays through pain. Do you sign players for less than 20 games of the season? If you want to win all competitions then players off the bench don't weaken the side.

[@geoffgayton6387]

For me, Vieira just isn't working out for us, he's not physically big enough to handle the PL in my opinion, so I'd rather sell him than ESR who really hasn't done anything wrong, yes he's had his groin injuries but he went from that fantastic season 2 years ago to not getting a look in ever since, if it were me I'd move Martinelli over to the right wing to allow Saka to get more rest and ESR and Trossard could rotate on the left wing.

[@conradhailey9866]

Oh ya and where are all those keep balagon people cuz they are not so loud anymore

[@joecurran3499]

Hey Charles, After United winning the FA cup, a majority of fans are now saying that in fact United have had a better/ more successful season than Arsenal because they have won a trophy. An FA cup goes into the history books, two 2nd place finishes will be forgotten about in years to come. What’s your thoughts? Great show as usual.

[@daliben6972]

Finishing 8th making unwanted records ending with negative GD is a history it will never be forgotten

[@leejones4042]

martin odegard

[@Pareshkhimji]

It's as easy as that. Is it? If the club can not sell them at a reasonable price, should we get rid of them to get next to nothing? I am sure Arteta and Edu and the team will do the best they can. Its definitely not as easy as just sell players who are injured prone. Imagine if Declan had an injury and clubs interested buying him are offerring 15m to 20m, for us he might not be 100% like he was but he is still good enough and worth more than 15m to 20m other clubs are willing to pay. Do you sell him at a 85 to 90m loss?

[@cancorder1]

Tierney is a leader, and a model pro. Personally I’d keep him. He can’t invert, so let white do that. His injuries are an issue but we have the depth with timber now plus zinny and tommy If playing long and utilising aerial ability is an evolving part of our game, Tierney is an excellent option, and defensively better than zinny IMO Regardless, all the best wherever he ends up. An Arsenal captain in the making ravaged by injury

[@bluavenger2419]

Why do you want to keep a player who can't stay fit, even if for back up, the culture at this club needs to be availability.

[@louishoughton8054]

Hi Charles, Do you think Newcastle not being in Europe now gives us a major boost in getting Isak or Bruno? Surely European football would be a minimum they would stay for.

[@jasperatighe5967]

Arteta is trophyless again and ETH has got the FA CUP. At some point the board should start questioning Arteta success vs the amount he's spent.

[@ezigwe]

ESR pure profit when compared to Viera

[@Denlar96]

I think when it comes to the squad as a whole, we need to remember that next season, we need to push for all cups/competitions. This means that even our best players need rotating at least occasionally. ESR can play in a few positions and adds something to our squad. Vieira is good, but i feel his stature in the premier league limits his overall affect on the game (wont win duels ect). Vieira suited the portuguese league or even the la liga.

Up the Gooners 🙌🏿

Charles is only because he is English!!!! So don't blame the manager please

[@Gunnercoops]

Charles how many weeks into the new season do you see Rooney lasting at Plymouth, I reckon 10 max 😂

[@weeksy-sb5yr]

Could Man Utd have done us a favour winning FA cup..........Newcastle have no European football which quality players Bruno and Isak won't like. Ramsdale ,Tierney & Eddie could be part of the deal as they would be good fit for the Geordies.

[@danielmartin2928]

Forget about tierney... he's never fit smh

[@sbusisomkhwanazi]

My take is to give ESR another season. Need him to back up Ordegaard for a competitive and actual wins of these domestic cups. Arteta needs to simply strengthen the squad and rotate them like Pep does.

Smith Rowe will stay Fabio will go

[@tonythornton7660]

Didn't know who I wanted to win . Don't want city to win everything Don't want united to win anything. Now we have united fans saying they've had a better season than arsenal

[@Nostradanus86]

The RODRI undefeated streak is thankfully over

[@tonym3309]

Do feel for Tierney, there was a moment he was one of the few beacons amongst a dark period for us. Anyone know if clubs are covered with any form of insurance regarding injury?

[@MrVoicemailGuy]

Hi Charles. As much as KT wants out of Arsenal, do you think that Mikel has learnt his lesson from the past two seasons and will use his squad depth by rotating more often throughout the season? Other than being injury prone, I feel that KT can still do a job for us. If we can keep him for at least one more season and we rotate him enough, I think that can raise his confidence as well as his value when we eventually sell him.

Hi Charles, there have been a lot of talk online lately that Arteta didn’t pick Vieira towards the end of the campaign because of his lack of effort in training. If such a situation exists, I can’t see we would want to sell both him and Emile as it would leave us short and at least one would have to be replaced. After the FA cup final result, I was waiting for it and it took only minutes before someone commented ManU have had a better season than Arsenal, for me, 2nd place and Champions League qualification is more valuable in this era.

[@MaggioBaggio-ws6gy]

Loan him to Ipswich.

[@neetincleats]

Charles are you just as sad about getting rid of Eddie?
