ARSECAST EXTRA EPISODE 266 – 14.01.2019




Not exactly the cheeriest podcast of all time, but after the 1-0 defeat to West Ham, there’s not much to be happy about. We discuss our recent form, Unai Emery’s tactics and decision making, the back three, the lack of a consistent footballing philosophy, and the difficulties were facing in the weeks ahead as try and keep our domestic season alive. There’s plenty on the Mesut Ozil situation too, one which demands a solution as soon as possible, but which clearly is unhealthy. Is it affecting the rest of the squad too? Plus why Emery needs transfer market backing beyond loan deals, a look at Mavropanos. and lots more.

Emery confirms worrying transfer news for Arsenal on Thursday

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confirmed some worrying news for Arsenal fans with less than three weeks now left in the January transfer window.   The Arsenal boss managed to sign several players during the summer but most of the deals were for a cheap price, significantly lesser than what rivals Chelsea and Liverpool were paying for their new signings.
