Summary
On this week's show I chat about the Laurent Koscielny bombshell with the BBC's David Ornstein. What has happened to get the situation to this point? Is there any way back for the soon to be former captain? And where does this leave the centre of our defence ahead of next season? We also discuss transfers, and all the things Arsenal need to do but unfortunately don't appear to be close to doing at this moment in time. Then it's Edu, and our new Technical Director is the topic of discussion with Tim Stillman – going from his playing days with us, to his administrative roles with Corinthians and Brazil. What kind of an impact can he have on the future of this mental football club?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. How are you? Hope |
| 0:27.2 | you're well. Today is a bit of a mental day for me because I'm going to the US tomorrow |
| 0:34.0 | today when you're listening to this but this is Thursday recording this and I thought you know |
| 0:38.0 | what, it'll be grand, do a podcast, what's going to happen? We're certainly not going to |
| 0:42.0 | sign any players. The team are going to be traveling to the US. There's going to be very little happening. |
| 0:47.1 | You know what we'll do? We'll have a good conversation about the one tangible thing that has occurred |
| 0:52.7 | this week which is the appointment of Edu as our technical director. That's a thing that happened. |
| 0:59.1 | It's real, it exists. So let's talk about Edu. Edu was a player when he was with us. Edu as a |
| 1:05.6 | football administrator with Corinthians and the Brazil national side. Edu's new job and the kind of |
| 1:12.2 | influence he might have over the club and our playing style, our philosophy, our transfer business, |
| 1:18.4 | all of that. Let's have a lovely nice conversation about that. I can get my bags packed. No hassle. |
| 1:24.5 | Everything will be honky-dory and then we get the news that Lauren Kishelny has refused to go |
| 1:31.6 | on the tour of America. The club captain has refused to travel with the team and all the shit has |
| 1:38.5 | hit the fan as you would expect because well you know that's that's a bad thing to have happened. |
| 1:45.1 | It's bad from Kishelny to behave in that way. There's absolutely no condoning that kind of |
| 1:52.5 | behavior. He has a responsibility as the club captain to fulfill the duties that are expected of him |
| 1:59.8 | as a player as one of our most senior players and as the captain of the club itself there's |
| 2:05.6 | absolutely no way you can excuse it or condone it in any way. However you do have to think about |
| 2:13.7 | why it's happened. Lauren Kishelny is not somebody who we know as an agitator. This is a guy who has |
| 2:21.2 | put his body on the line for us. Last season after coming back from the injury when we really, |
| 2:26.2 | really needed him week in, week out when he probably could have done without playing as regularly |
| 2:30.4 | as he did. He was still suffering from the effects of A, the tendinitis that's chronic with him |
