Summary
On this bonus podcast, I'm joined by James and Andrew Allen to discuss the somewhat surprise transfer deadline signing of Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid. We chat about how the deal went down, the money involved, how late it came, but most importantly what the player will bring to this Arsenal team. We then discuss the window as a whole, grade the incoming and outgoing business, the departures of Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi, the issue of too many non-homegrown players, William Saliba and more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splog R-Scast right here on R-Splog.com. |
| 0:26.2 | How are you? Hope you're well. Hope everyone around you is keeping safe and well and healthy. How |
| 0:31.6 | you doing? Are you recovered yet from the Transfer Deadline Day madness? Wow. If you listen to the |
| 0:37.6 | R-Scast extra yesterday you will have heard myself in James not feeling particularly confident |
| 0:43.5 | that we were going to do anything in terms of incoming business. It was more hope the next |
| 0:49.2 | expectation. But we've signed Thomas Partey from Atlético Madrid. We activated his release |
| 0:55.9 | clause by paying 50 million euros to LaLiga and we have brought him to North London. He will be |
| 1:03.5 | an Arsenal player. He signed a four year contract, etc. etc. So we have to talk about that. We were |
| 1:09.0 | going to do this for our Patreon members only, but when you do make a signing as big as that one, |
| 1:13.6 | I think it's fair that we make this podcast available to everyone if you feel like becoming a |
| 1:18.7 | Patreon member though, you can do that at patreon.com forward slash R-Splog. It costs a five or a |
| 1:24.3 | month and you get the tactics podcast, ad free podcast, discord chat, live streams, all that kind |
| 1:29.5 | of stuff. And it does support everything that we do here on the site as well. So without much |
| 1:34.8 | further ado, we'll get into this one. Obviously the Thomas Partey thing is going to be the main |
| 1:38.6 | crux of the discussion, but we'll be talking about the Transfer Window in general, some of the |
| 1:44.3 | deals that we've done looking at it overall, the state of the squad as we go into. Well, I was going |
| 1:50.1 | to say the rest of the season, but between now and January because there is another Transfer Window |
| 1:54.9 | in January, of course, but that, you know, we can cross that particular bridge when we come to it. |
| 2:00.2 | With me to discuss it all is first Andrew Allen. Hello, Andrew. Hi there. And we've got James. Hello, |
| 2:06.0 | James. Hello, guys. James, let's start with you because yesterday on the Arscast extra, we were not |
| 2:12.4 | exactly confident that something was going to happen. We were a little bit, I suppose negative |
| 2:17.1 | might be a word that people might use, but it was more about just the lack of any insight into |
