Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the issue of squad depth. With no Europe next season, how far do we need to trim the numbers – at times last year Arsenal had a 33+ man panel. Who might be able to provide versatility to cover in various positions? Just how much midfield recruitment do we need, taking into account some of the names we've been linked with? We also chat potential comings and goings in every area of the team, from front to back, including the need for at least one goalkeeper before the season starts, and maybe two. All that and lots more,.

| 0:55.5 | away to give up, thinking about walking the rest of the way to the end point and not doing |
| 1:01.7 | it and driving on, going through the pain bar, no, I didn't do any of that. |
| 1:06.2 | I just kind of shuffled along like an old bastard hating every stride of my run. |
| 1:11.8 | But hopefully, you know, I might get some benefit out of it somewhere down the line. |
| 1:15.5 | I don't know where that might be. |
| 1:17.9 | Maybe at five a.m. tomorrow I'll have an extra zip of pace and, oh, am I kidding, I never |
| 1:23.9 | had any pace in my life. |
| 1:25.8 | Anyway, it's the first, no, second week now into off season. |
| 1:30.8 | Not a great deal has been happening in terms of transfers and stuff like that. |

| 1:39.5 | So who knows what might be happening. |
| 1:41.2 | There's been some, some talk of some players coming in a little bit about players going |
