Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the original Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Ryan Hunn, co-host of the Stadio podcast, to deal with statements provided by our Patreon members. He has to strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with them, and we deal with topics including William Saliba’s back injury, Arsenal’s valuation of players in the transfer market, breaking our record for a sale this summer, Noni Madueke’s output next season, whether winning the league is harder than retaining the title, Arsene Wenger and Gianni Infantino, Spain’s style of play and Mikel Arteta, and…

Former long-reigning heavyweight ruler, Wladimir Klitschko, is believed to be contemplating a comeback, hoping for a record-breaking return to the heavyweight throne. Now, former opponent, Tyson Fury, has offered his thoughts on ‘Dr. Steelhammer’s’ potential title bid. Klitschko has not fought since he was knocked out by Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium when he unsuccessfully challenged for the IBF and WBA (Super) heavyweight world titles over nine years ago. That defeat came 18 months after the end of his nine-year second stint atop the heavyweight division, which was famously ended by Fury in Düsseldorf. However, last month, the now 50-year-old…

Fabrizio Romano has delivered an exciting update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman, who was considered untouchable earlier this summer, is now in the Reds’ sights as they continue to work on a deal. It’s no secret that Andoni Iraola is after more reinforcements ahead of his first season in charge at Anfield. He’s said as much in his first press conferences. Whether Barcola solves the Spaniard’s biggest problem remains to be seen, however. Bradley Barcola Strengths Weaknesses Finishing Crossing Long shots Ball-retention Key passes It’s easy to see why Liverpool are so interested in Barcola. They desperately…

Edgar Berlanga isn’t looking at Sunday’s fight with Steven Butler as the start of a long rebuilding process. In his mind, it’s the final stop before a December clash with Chris Eubank Jr. in London. If Berlanga gets the result he expects, he wants Zuffa Boxing to move him directly into one of the biggest paydays at super middleweight. Berlanga’s own comments show he is already focused beyond Sunday. “People look at me, I’m the knockout guy, and fans love knockouts. But it’s going to come. First round, second round, third round, it’s going to come. Patience is everything in…

Phil Foden reiterated Manchester City’s desire to get back to title-winning form in the post-Pep Guardiola era. Man City did not manage to win the Premier League in either of Guardiola’s final two seasons in charge. It marked the first time in Guardiola’s managerial career that he had gone two straight campaigns without winning a league title. City did win both the EFL Cup and FA Cup last term, giving Guardiola two trophies to bow out on, but they ultimately fell short of matching Arsenal in the league. Enzo Maresca has now taken charge, and Foden – who penned a…
