Episode 882 - Statement signing

In this episode I'm joined by Art de Roche to talk about Arsenal at the World Cup, and the ongoing concerns around Declan Rice who looked physically shattered throughout England's 2-1 win over DR Congo. We then chat about how the price of the average midfielder has risen so highly with some high profile, high price deals going through this week, and how that might influence what the club need to do this summer. I also ask if this window needs Arsenal to make a 'statement' signing, such as PSG winger Bradley Barcola, using the pull from being Champions and Champions League finalists to bring in the calibre of player who can really help us retain the title and go one better in Europe. There's also a link to a back-up goalkeeper, some thoughts on Santi Cazorla after he announced his retirement, and lots more.Here's the Sid Lowe interview with Santi Cazorla mentioned in the pod - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!
