Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Charles Watts to chat about his new book about Mikel Arteta, some of the process in writing it, and the launch which takes place this evening (Thursday). We also have a couple of signed copies to give away. We then discuss the transfer market, including the sale of Folarin Balogun to Monaco, and predict the possible outcomes for players who Arsenal want to move on. On top of that, is there a need for another signing, how likely is that to happen, and more.
