Arsecast Extra Episode 706 - 03.08.2026

In this episode we discuss Arsenal's first meaningful pre-season friendly, and reflect on the 4-1 win over Girona on Saturday. There's discussion of Max Dowman and how important he might be in the early part of the season, some chat about the goalscorers and in particular Gabriel Jesus and what the future might, or should, hold for him. Then we get the latest on Arsenal's incoming transfer business, with deals for the two Brazilians – Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior – in the spotlight. There's some movement on the first, but the latter remains an intensely complicated situation, without any significant developments to report as yet, but James gives us the latest as he understands it. Then we have listener questions about Gabriel Martinelli, whether we should re-sign Takehiro Tomiyasu, our wealth of midfield options and how we set up next season, the League Cup, the whereabouts of Albert Stuivenberg, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
