Bukayo Saka, Champions League & Ivan Toney | Arsecast

In this episode I'm joined Charles Watts to chat about how nice and quiet it is after Arsenal's 6-0 on Sunday, before we shoot the breeze about peaking in the second half of the season, the importance of getting injured players back to compete domestically and in Europe, Bukayo Saka's incredible output and the definition of 'world class', the stable environment at the club right now, Ivan Toney, the impending arrival of Kylian Mbappe to North London, and lots more.

Oh? Charles Watts? What a pleasant surprise!

[@HanuAyagam]

HIGH WATTAGE ⚡️

[@Changed_my_name_to_Bob]

Great podcast, I'm happy to have found it!

[@MrTkeddo]

I love Arseblog because you get good old fashioned swearing 😂 it’s like that Grange Hill sketch from the Young Ones where Ben Elton says “oh come on mr Liberal we’re the only Schoolkids who don’t say F’ck!”

Arteta is learning. At 1st he went 5 at the back, last season we were probably too attack minded in the 1st half of it and expended too much energy that then bit us on the ass at the end. This season we were not as fluid and more defence minded in the 1st half, but now the shackles are off and he may have found the balance needed to push till the end.

[@HeisenBird]

With regard to our signing of a striker, I've had a feeling in my gut for months that Benjamin Sesko will be the guy we get, and I think he'd absolutely smash it under Arteta.

[@rexrickard6333]

I think thats such a good choice we could do with a talent id like that, skillful and tall good finnisher that will definately improve at arsenal personaly at over 6.4 feet hes the type of striker we need not so good at holding the ball up as jesus imo plus his assist stat is very low, however he be a great fit for this arsenal side 60m euros yes please

[@Henry-to6yz]

I've never been that guy before, but 1st!

[@afctaylor12]

You deserve it Henry. You never see a Henry vacuum in skip

[@runningonemty8566]

🤩

[@Cengert1979]

I am convinced we will go big on a striker in the summer - it just depends if it will be 60 mil big or 120 mil big - there's no need in buying a 120 mil striker if he doesn't fit into Arteta's system - at this point I'd prefer a 60 - 80 mil striker (instead of an Osimhen for example) plus Neto and two midfield signings

[@kunimitsune177]

£60m is not "big on a striker" - that's boring on budget nowadays.

[@Cengert1979]

@@kunimitsune177 how much did Gabriel Jesus cost? 50 mil? But you're probably right, the market has changed since then and there are not too many great strikers available ... It will take 70 to 80 mil to get someone really good - I think we will spend sth in that region

[@merciemodemerciemode3130]

can Big Gabby be our Freddie lol? on the set pieces. that would be insane

[@kunimitsune177]

World class = one of the best in the world. Bit sure why there's debate about it.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Do a book about Chelsea. Call is Apocalypse

[@Bootrosgali]

I saw poor acharlie asking Tets a question last season at a presser and the look Tets gave him didn't seem overly friendly anyone have any info or did I misread this.

[@djedwjones5982]

Didn’t Watts write a biography on arteta/Arsenal? MA probably looking at him like, “who the fuck are you to talk about me?” I get it, random hacks discussing your career then rocking up like nothing at the presser.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Definitely CL. Ask City which is easier to win lol.

[@alank997]

Anyone think the ladies should consider Carlos as the next manager considering how highly rated he is?

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Thought you were better than that 🙄. Talking about Mbappe. Fast wind. Toney 45 million or move on.

[@bradleyfoster4713]

We don’t “all” want to see Thomas Partey back… I would be thrilled if he never plays for Arsenal again.

[@rexrickard6333]

Eh ur talking like hes crap

[@thewisetzar5363]

Rther Sesko and spend money on buying wingers and mifdielders than that bum Toney

[@Cengert1979]

Totally agree 👍 ... Arguably Pedro Neto would be a more important signing than someone like Ivan Toney - there are players of Ivan Toney's quality out there that are cheaper and younger

[@kunimitsune177]

Neo can't stay fit. No more injury prone players please.

[@Cengert1979]

@@kunimitsune177 Neto would be a rotation option for Saka and Martinelli - it's a risk but maybe worth a gamble
