Summary

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Art de Roche to take a wide angled lens on the squad, the current perception of the owners, and look abroad to young striker Flo Balogun as he continues to top the french scoring charts.

With the fringe players of Arsenal's squad making their impact on games we discuss how significant certain players are, what Vieira's role could be, and whether it's right to over analyse Kieran Tierney's body language.

With the government white paper due out on Thursday we look at some it's findings and ask if it's time to reassess opinion on the Kroenkes, especially in light of the football clubs that are for sale at the time being.

And Art tells us more about how Flo Balogun is doing in Ligue Un.
