Hello and welcome to a brand new arse vlog arsecast right here on arseblog.com.

How are you?

Hope you're well.

Thank you very much indeed, as always for being here.

Big, big, big, big, big, transfer news to kick off today's show.

Nuno Tavares has joined Lazio in a permanent deal

after spending last season there on loan.

I'm sorry.

But it is transfer news.

I withdraw the big, big, big, big bit,

but it is literally transfer news.

It has been a quiet week, and there really hasn't been much going on.

Concrete, that's the word of the summer now.

You've got to get concrete talks like you're dealing with a construction workers' union.

Once the concrete is in place, then you can start talking about moving

and stuff like that. But look, here's the situation, right? We heard this week that Martin

Zubimendi, that deal might not be announced until July because Rayal Sosciad would prefer it to go

through in the next accounting year,

from a, I presume, income, profit, tax point of view,

which makes a lot of sense.

And we still don't know which striker they're going to bring in.

Will it be Sesco?
