Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 170: Analysing Arsenal’s summer transfer business

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by women’s football analyst Yash Thakur, who writes for The Cutback, ESPN and Opta Analyst. They discuss Arsenal’s transfer strategy, the early prime age profiles they have targeted, looking at how Arsenal are trying to vary their attack and why four of the five signings so far have come from the Bundesliga. Then there is individual analysis of Georgia Stanway, Ona Batlle, Geraldine Reuteler and Lisa Baum and the qualities they will bring to Arsenal. Yash wrote an excellent profile on Georgia Stanway on The Cutback which you can (and should) read here [https://www.thecutback.com/p/how-georgia-stanway-improves-arsenal?r=4rtg9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web]. You can also follow Yash’s women’s football work on ESPN, The Cutback [https://www.thecutback.com/] and his substack Dribbles and Nutmegs [https://dribblesandnutmegs.substack.com/].

Episode 884 - It's all over for England

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to chat about Wednesday evening's World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina. Despite taking the lead, Thomas Tuchel's side retreated into a defensive shape and ultimately paid the price as Lionel Messi provided two assists. We chat about the England's manager's decisions, a highly fatigued Declan Rice, the lack of Bukayo Saka involvement at any stage, and the prospect of the final between Spain and Argentina. There's some transfer chat as Julian Alvarez interest continues, discussion of William Saliba's back injury which threatens the start of his season, the risible half-time show planned for Sunday, and lots more. 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!

Arsecast Extra Episode 703 - 12.07.2026

In this episode we chat about the Arsenal lads at the World Cup, as England beat Norway after extra-time to set up a semi-final against Argentina. We discuss a sick Declan Rice, an ineffective Noni Madueke, as well as Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka off the bench, not to mention Martin Odegaard. There's focus on the game, the 'cable-gate' incident, Norway's disallowed goal and the impact of Jude Bellingham, and also the other game last night which saw Argentina beat Switzerland, with more focus/conspiracy on refereeing decisions in their games. After the break we answer listener questions about Odegaard's future, whether we're moving quickly enough in the transfer market for Mikel Artetas liking, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and lots more 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!

Episode 883 - Central midfielders are expensive

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to talk about Arsenal's pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes who has told Newcastle he wants to leave to join the champions. It has all the hallmarks of a protracted saga, so we examine it from all sides, and try and work out what this deal might cost in the context of other central midfield transfers this summer and in recent seasons. There's also discussion of our other CM options, why selling Ethan Nwaneri might be consequence of spending big on other players, William Saliba's reported ongoing back problems and how much that might impact what we need to do defensively in the transfer market, as well as a look at the World Cup, Mikel Merino's vital goal for Spain, England and Norway facing off with lots of Arsenal interest there, and lots more besides.

Arsecast Extra Episode 702 - 06.07.2026

In this episode we chat about World Cup goings on, starting with England's impressive 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca, and Norway's win over Brazil – both games had Arsenal players involved and we chat about Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Then there's a discussion about FIFA's decision, which appears to have come after political interference, to allow former Gunner Folarin Balogun to play for the US against Belgium despite the red card he received in the previous game. Gianni Infantino's ongoing corruption is a stain, and not the only one, on this tournament. We also talk about Leandro Trossard and assess his contributions to Arsenal after news of his likely departure to Turkey was reported. In part two we do our transfer predictions for the summer window with ins, outs and the amounts we'll spend and bring in, as well as answering some listener questions too.
