Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss Thomas Partey's return to training, Richard Garlick's upcoming new role, Arsenal and the Deloitte Money League, before we dive into the club's spending under Mikel Arteta in the context of the ongoing demand for a big-name, big money striker. We've spent a lot in most positions, but up front – not really, and we delve into that in some detail. We also answer some listener questions about the January window, Charlie Patino, ex-players as coaches, and lots more.

| 0:00.0 | And the Hello and welcome to a brand new Ars blog Arscast right here on Ars blog |
| 0:24.9 | Arscast right here on Ars blog.com. How are you? Hope you're well. Thank you very |
| 0:30.0 | much indeed as always for being here. We're heading into an Arsenal free weekend. That is because there are |
| 0:38.1 | FA Cup ties happening and we are not in the FA Cup however we do play again relatively soon we've got a trip to the |
| 0:46.9 | city ground to take on Nottingham Forest on Tuesday where we will face former gunner Matt Turner who of course for the 90 minutes will be imbued with all the skills and qualities that a top level goalkeeper needs. |
| 1:01.3 | He'll have the safe hands of David Seaman, the long passing ability of David |
| 1:06.7 | Beckham, he'll be a better shot stopper than a bulletproof vest. |
| 1:11.5 | Accept it. This is what we're going to have to face next Tuesday, but that of course is next week. |
| 1:17.0 | So we're just going to have to bite our time and hope that the five goals that we scored against Crystal Palace are a sufficient confidence boost to be able to |
| 1:24.4 | offset, you know, the Matt Turner heroics that were banned. To see, it has been a pretty quiet week, |
| 1:30.0 | however there are a few bits and pieces going on. We do of course have a podcast for you today, obviously, because you know, you've downloaded it and you're listening to it. So that was a pretty stupid thing to say. |

| 1:48.0 | And I thought it might be interesting to have a little bit of a discussion, |
| 1:51.0 | a bit of a deep dive into the way that Arsenal have spent money |
| 1:57.4 | since Michael Lardetta took the job of head Cochin and subsequently became manager. There is of course at this moment in time a lot of focus on striker a lot of focus on |
| 2:07.0 | striker a lot of focus on arsenal and what they can do up front and it's quite interesting to look at where the money has been spent |
| 2:15.6 | until now and whether that gives us any indication of where the money might be |
| 2:19.8 | spent in the summer so we will delve into that among other things and I'm delighted to welcome to the show today to discuss all that is Lewis |
| 2:27.1 | and Rose hello Lewis. |
