Summary

On this week's show I'm joined by Clive Palmer to discuss the needs of the Arsenal squad going into this transfer window. We cover all areas - goalkeeper, defence, midfield, and attack – to try and work out what we might do, who might be vulnerable to a departure, and the kinds of players Mikel Arteta wants to bring to the club. We start though with some thoughts on the arrival of Willian who has signed a three year deal with the club after his contract at Chelsea expired. All that, and more.

1:08.6

At Chelsea, he joins us 32 years of age on a three year deal.

1:12.9

Something which I think is a bit of a concern but you would hope the club have done their

1:17.3

due diligence in terms of his physical ability and all the various medical tests and everything

1:23.6

else.

1:24.6

And I realize of course that given some of the scenarios we currently face and have faced

1:27.7

in the past, people might question the wisdom of doing that kind of thing but it didn't

feel like the right time to have that conversation.

1:35.0

So we talk a bit more about what William might bring to the team as a player and everything

1:39.2

else and of course get into that whole discussion about squad building, whom I come, whom I

1:43.4

go, not hugely specific but the various areas of the pitch and everything else.

1:47.6

So look, let's get into it and as I said with me to discuss all that and more it's Clive
