Charles, clearly your sources aren't up to the level of TNAT - and no one is expecting that as your strengths are more in reporting than ITK stuff. This is a great idea and I think you as the "straight man" interpreting news through the lens of an educated Arsenal supporter alongside the insight of TNAT will be a great dynamic. Looking forward to more episodes

[@OwenTalks]

This collab is crazy. Good stuff Charles.

Floor raisers is the way forward. We need to strengthen the squad in general so we can rest and rotate... and 1 ceiling raiser as the cherry on the cake COYG

Thanks Charles and TNT. Recently been listening to you alot because you deliver a lot of inside Arsenal news which other channels don't. Keep up the good work. Will tune in again.

[@AaronAlexandre-mc8nw]

Charles, according to reliable German outlet Kicker, Sesko's release clause is valid until 6/30. Guimaraes release clause is valid until 6/24. I don't think Arsenal will do early business but judging by the situation, there will at least be 1 or 2 signings(besides Raya) before the start of the Euro and Copa America? And also, the likes of Hato aren't going out for the Euro's which means Arsenal do have some freedom to talk and lay the groundwork if they are willing to do so.

[@thebrotherhood5322]

As much as I love hearing all this inside transfer news do you think the club would be pleased that some inside sources are leaking inside information? What if the club intentionally want negotiations to be quiet as not to alert other teams to the availability of their targets? 🤷‍♂️

[@gooner72]

Very interesting show Charles, it's good to have varied content and guests on your channel and, this one seems to have worked nicely...... cracking job fellas!!!!!

[@EastUpperGooner]

Enjoyed that, Charles and TNAT. Looking forward to next week.

[@alfredthegreat9543]

This is how I see it. If there is a striker Arteta feels can fit into the team he will buy him if price ok, but he absolutely will not switch to another striker just for the sake of it if he can't get the one he wants. Arteta buys not just ability and position but also on attitude and personality, if anything, I think he regards the person as more important than ability- and in such a team game that we play I get it. We've scored more goals than ever before, and did the same last year, so the only real need for a striker is in those really, really tight games- but they aren't frequent hence I don't think we'll break the bank for it. More important positions to be filled are- No 6/8, LCB to cover Saliba, and RW to cover Saka.

Left wing with Jurian Timber at Left back playing inverted should help Martinelli be more productive. But if we were to target Nico Williams, he would cover both wings at 45m. Sesko at Striker for 55m is definitely our ceiling, considering our need for a top midfielder. Hato at 20-30m. for defensive cover would definitely fit our profile and versatility skills, etc.

[@ayushmaanjha2732]

Isn't Nico williams on 250k a week at Bilbao, he'd be our highest earner, while being a backup option

[@Denlar96]

I think this summer we do need top quality to come in. I have no issues/worries with our first 11-14 players, but there is clearly players that aren't at the required level/Arteta doesnt trust. A backup to Saka is a must. Either that be a player who is purely a winger or is a player who can play across the front line (looking at profiles like Kudus/Bowen/Gyokeres). We need a backup for Odegaard if that isnt going to be vieira or ESR. A backup for Saliba, mainly a similar type profile who can give is as close to what Sailba gives us as possible. I would also love a proper LB and LCM. Whatever happens, i have full trust in Arteta. Players i see leaving. Taveres, Lokonga, Tierney, Ramsdale, Nketiah, Nelson. Possible players Partey, ESR/Vieira and Zinchenko.

[@applenuts]

We're not signing isak he'll be too expensive. Most probably be sesko at £55m. He'll be a top striker

[@GavLever]

@@RichardStone-xk2px oh you're a troll. Makes total sense, argue with yourself silly man

[@user-sy7bc9zb2b]

Another dreamer. Sesko is out of arsenal reach. High demand means arsenal cant get the players, proven. Sesko will stay in his current club 1 more year.

[@applenuts]

@@RichardStone-xk2px i garantee you it's not happening and i don't care about transfer rumours because it's common sense that a striker is not arsenal's main priority and they're not willing to fork out over £100m in that area. They have other signings they want to make as well in different positions and don't have the budget if they would pay that for isak. Not happening so forget about it.

[@sihlejali8453]

Hi Charles, I think we are missing something about this issue , Kai might increase hi Tally last season but its not about quantity , we have enough goals in out team , I think its about scoring big goals in big games, if you look at Diego Costa , his highest in the PL was 16 which most of our players can manage , but it was not about that , it was about the brace he scored against us , its about that goal against City in the Fa cup , these big games that got Chelsea over the line in the league title under Conte and in the FA cup , that is what we need , we needed someone to score almost out of nothing against Villa or against Liverpool in the fa cup or even at the Allianz , someone to score even from a half chance , thats what you get with an out and out Striker , Kai , as good as he's done , can't give us that

Hi Charles, What has been your favourite arsenal transfer persuit. Ignoring if the transfer worked or not. I think my favourite had to be the arshavin one. 😅

[@smcomedy4897]

This team almost feels like the 97/98 team, we need an Ian Wright, Anelka and Petit. I think Rice is our Vieira (box to box). Martinelli or Saka (Overmars). Odegaard shows signs of Bergkamp. I thought Ramsdale was the nearest to David Seaman, Raya bit like Lehmann makes a few mistakes but is still a good keeper. At the moment it feels more like the 96/97 team without an Ian Wright, not quite good enough to win the title but close, as we came 3rd that Season, just behind Prime Man Utd and Newcastle with £15 mill signing of Shearer.

[@Fortnitebiscuitboys]

We should go for Kubo, great back up for Saka and opens us up to the Japanese market

I think another winger is a must. We don't have adequate cover for Saka really. Would love a player like Kudus from West ham. He's really good on the ball and would add a different dimension to our attack.

[@jaw1630]

ISAK....WE MUST MAKE A STATEMENT...THEY WANT OUR KEEPER PLUS 55 MILL...THIS WILL DELIVER THE TITLE

[@hlonisoulo3033]

@@Denlar96kudus ain’t gonna agree to play backup

[@Denlar96]

@hlonisoulo3033 The thing is that Kudus won't necessarily be a backup for Saka. We all know Arteta wants to be unpredictable and this would help. Also, Kudus can play either wing, so can play in the same line up or come in for Saka. We also can't have another season where we don't do well in the cups, which means more games the further we go. Saka has been overplayed in his last 2-3 seasons already as well.

[@mrwaltermathews]

​@@Denlar96Kudus can also play midfield

[@robertparker3281]

I can't shake the feeling that quiet dealings are happening for Douglas Luiz. Another marquee signing. I can imagine that the same transfer people will be talking about Smith Rowe as well, not a player + cash but a separate transfer. We all know that Arteta appreciates Luiz and when I consider a new deal for Arteta... I can't help but think that Arteta will be asking for a signing and for us to make a genuine attempt.

[@neilchas]

ESR played with a groin injury for a long time, then he had surgery and had to recover, and best I can tell, he was not fully recovered before he played and then had to take another long lay off. It was not until well into the second half of the season that he approached full fitness. Will he go? Good question. He is finally fit and seeing him come on vs Everton where he had a decent cameo makes me think he will stay not go.

[@Franco_76]

Could we make a move for Gibbs-white. He make a good addition if the price is right

[@igboamaezeokechukwu397]

[@ralphhyde7524]

Like the format using the questions to drive the talk. The December form dip cost too many points, the games drawn/lost Arsenal were missing a decent left back and missing No9 goal chances , how else does the right winger become club top scorer / PL tenth no wonder he looked tired carrying that goal scoring responsibility. Priority 1 has got to be a clinical striker.

[@imganeshaonYT]

It is irrelevant if Arteta signs a new contract or not. No club is going to keep a manager who doesn't want to be there and if Arteta gets an offer and decides he wants to go then, contract or not, Arteta will go. Arsenal will of course get some compensation if he has a contact but that's not usually significant by footballing standards.
