In the Summer of 1980 Arsenal signed one of the hottest properties in English football but he never played for Arsenal, so what happened?

In the absence of any real news of substance and trying to avoid the World Cup I decided to look at the Irish players for Arsenal and found some interesting things

I used to love the World Cup now it's been corrupted and its soul has been lost.

Not much doing on the Arsenal front a few quotes from Thomas Tuchel and an enquiry about a Turkish winger

Arsenal are seeing change at youth level and getting tough in relation to selling players.

Will we break our record sale this year lets hope so!

Today I am joined by Macdara Ferris (@macdarabueller) who writes for extratime.ie and watches Shamrock Rovers regularly to talk about Victor Ozhianvuna who will join Arsenal when he turns 18 in January 2027. It will be very interesting to see how Victor develops and hopefully he can correct a wrong that Arsenal have yet to have a goal scored by an Irish player (excluding Declan Rice of course)

Sad news on Timber being forced to miss the World Cup.

I react to some transfer rumours and I speak to my thoughts on the Saka documentary and I try not to give too much away but if you don't want to know anything come back after you watch it.

I discuss rumours of an under 19 left back and a left winger from Belgium

I do not claim to be a statistician or a data driven commentator, but I did feel there were changes in the premier league the season gone.

Were there less goals?

Did restarts take longer?

Was the league less entertaining? To find the answer to the above listen to the pod for the entertaining part let me tell you, it was made far more entertaining by us winning and less remarkable when we didn't win. In other words it was poor and I watched very few games that didn't involve Arsenal.

Arsenal are being linked with some pretty big names and seem set to sign a new name.

Our depth chart on the right looks like an issue but maybe it gives us an opportunity to protect Saka early on in the season?

On the left we have a lower ceiling than we'd like who can we get to raise the bar?

Up top, we have three at least one must go, does Kai stay a striker option if we get a new number 9?
