Arsecast Extra Episode 708 - 17.08.2026
In this episode we chat about Sunday's 3-0 win over Man City in the Community Shield. We start with the brilliant early goal we scored through Riccardo Calafiori, and the superb vision of Myles Lewis-Skelly, before some focus on Martin Odegaard and Christos Tzolis as two players who really caught the eye. We also discuss David Raya, promising signs from Arsenal's performance in terms of our attacking play, and the competitive debut for Bruno Guimaraes, before attention turns to players who weren't there and what we might read into the absence of Gabriel Martinelli in particular. In part two we answer questions about Arsenal's transfer business, amid confusion around aspects of the finances. If we could buy Vinicius Junior and pay his wages, why is it being reported we need to sell, and is it coincidence that it's players like Lewis-Skelly, Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri most strongly linked with moves away? Other questions touch on a new defender, season motivations for Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, and lots more besides.
