Pedro and Johnny are back in the AOP studio for a spicy Friday edition that dives straight into the most debated transfer of the summer: Noni Madueke. Is this a shrewd move from Andrea Berta or a head-scratching overpay to help Chelsea out of a PSR jam?

We get stuck into:

The internet-melting £48.5m fee

The mystery of Arsenal’s sudden generosity

Why Madueke might be more than just a backup to Bukayo Saka

Shifting recruitment philosophies under Berta

Comparisons to Sterling, Adebayor, and Jovinho (yes, that one)

Johnny’s theory that Madueke is gunning for Martinelli’s spot

And Pedro’s refusal to believe anything until the fax arrives 📠

If you’re looking for balance, spice, and a healthy dose of paranoia about agent fees and hairlines, this is the pod for you.

🧨 Join the debate. Get your takes in. And remember: until we see the spreadsheet… it didn’t happen.

We also plug the Drake Ramberg (Nike Arsenal kit designer) interview – an iconic kit designer behind Arsenal’s 90s lightning bolt look and a must-listen for the shirt nerds (drops tomorrow).
