- Hello everyone and welcome to this week's Inside Arsenal extra-time, where I'm joined once again by James Benge of CBS Sports.
In this week's show we start by answering questions sent in by you ahead of the summer transfer window, giving our thoughts on the big transfer decisions facing Mikel Arteta and Edu as they look to continue building Arsenal's squad. We also discuss the Spurs vs Manchester City game and look ahead to Sunday's season finale as Arsenal look for a first Premier League title in 20 years. - กีฬา
I've being telling everyone for 2 weeks that its going to be West Ham where we win the title, everyone else thought it was Spurs but I've stuck to my West Ham prediction.
Xavi Simons speaks 4-5 languages and is of high intellect. Under Arteta, he could become a player that’s useful across several positions, or he could simple excel in an attacking midfield role.
Either way, he is quicker and faster than all Arsenal players except for perhaps Martinelli. And speed in counter-attack can always be useful.
Apparently only place he's going is psg
What’s he like mentally?
Can he play left 8 tho? odegaard is our attacking midfielder
@morgan3714
Ødegaard is an 8. We don't play with an attacking midfielder.
...and if you really think we do, then there's no left 8, just THE 8.
@@kunimitsune177 odegaard is a cam
I think they should go and get Youssouf Fofana from Monaco. I thought he was available on a free.
last 5 minutes or so was brilliant, thinking of the potential of winning the league something I crave so much. Ive got a little hope left for Sunday and the excitement keeps me up at night. And if it isn’t to be, this season has been so hopeful for the future to come and I somewhat thank you Charles for the discussion you and James have provided all season. I looked forward to Thursday all year and I hope to do so next year, champions or not. All the best Charles, from America.

Simons, Šeško, and de Jong would be my ideal "rEaLisTiC" summer recruitment.
Charles u the best from south africa
My five depaertees is Partey, Zinchenko, Ramsdale, Nketiah and Nelson. I really rate all of these, but they all need to play more... so for their careers I expect them all to move on. ESR might leave if there is a recruitment in midfield of a world class, Vieria too.
I think signing a new striker will mean we change the play again. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit of a slow start unless the no. 9 is slowly embedded in
Do we think Charles will ever practise the names before they flash up on the screen? 🤣
Who cares. At least he’s doing something productive 🔴⚪️
West Harm need to work for their add-ons
James Palace top 4 shout was hilarious
I can imagine a multi-club thing would be expensive, but the upside is huge.
You get to buy a bunch of young talents for cheap, have them all develop while actually playing against quality competition at your side club, instead of having them wasted on poor opposition in the academy, or not playing on loan, pick the best of the crop for Arsenal, and sell the others for profit.
There's an obvious upside to it if you're willing to put in the money and the effort.
We need a podcast where James just drinks beer and pontificates about life. Binge with Benge.
Looking forward to this one
Hello Charles, great episode together with James!I am afraid if Arsenal doesn't win trophies and meet player ambitions, key players might consider leaving. Consistent top-tier performances and winning trophies are crucial to keep top talent from seeking transfers.
Great pod… COYG
Controversial opinion: I absolutely adore our third kit from this year (23/24). The green and navy is absolutely fantastic. I hope we get more kits like it in the future. I'll also get the cursive AFC tattooed on my neck where it is on the kit if we win the league.
On the discussion around areas to strengthen, I think if you take a step back and look at it, we should be purely focusing on a back up goalie for a few million quid and then be looking at a midfield addition to replace Partey (who is so unreliable) and then paying most attention to the ST and RW positions.
The idea that we need another defender seems bizarre to me. We have the best CB pairing in the league with good backup in Kiwior. Tomiyasu, Timber and Zinny to fight over the LB spot with the first two also being backups in other defensive position and the pound for pound most consistent RB in the prem in Benny Blanco.
We don’t need another defender. We just need to hold on to the ones we’ve got and strengthen elsewhere.
Kvartskhelia Kvichi, Frenkie De Jong, and Osumane Diomande would transform us to Invisible levels. Joshua Zirkzee as well. 🙃
Stay positive…brilliant season COYG
💯% ❤️🤍
I think we need 1 midfielder, or two if Partey leaves, a clinical box presence striker, and an explosive winger with decent end product to back up Saka.
I’d be happy to try timber or Tomi out in left back, then reassess whether we need to bring in a defender in January.
Out: Ramsdale, Nelson, Nketiah, Lokonga, Tavares, Tierney, ESR maybe Partey
In: Sesko, Kudus, Bruno, Simons or essentially a striker, a winger, a 6 and an 8
Something like that would improve the squad massively.
It shouldn’t be hard to find players with more quality and impact than Nketiah, Nelson, ESR/Vieria and Jorginho.
I’d also be open to selling Zinchenko or loaning out Vieria / ESR.
Charles - Any thought of buying ISAK & playing him left wing or striker dependant on the game being played. That goal he scored recently when he took on the defenders got to the by line and buried it. Mega Thierry Henry vibes
I would prefer Rafael Leao. He could maybe transition into a striker. Then De Jong in midfield at that #6. He is not strong defensively like Rice, but he's sooooo good on the ball; almost as good as Partey.
Charles I salute you, your content is gorgeous
Out: Cedric, El Neny, Patino, Lokonga, Partey, Ramsgate, Nketiah, Nelson, Vieira (Loan)
In: Alphonso Davies (check his contract situation), Frenkie De Jong, Nico Williams, a goalie
Charles do a kit review on the new home kit
Palace in the top 4 was a shocking prediction to say the least
What time do they talk about frenkie de Jong
We need 2 quality additions that can hit the ground running, and preferably, they are PL proven.
My picks are at LB with Antonee Robinson, I believe, able to be our left sided Ben White and Isak up top!
Every summer we need to sign a £80+ mill player (clear world class near their prime) plus a young talent
I think if wed kept Granit one more year we'd be champions, maybe a lesson to learn there with Partey.
i totally disagree with you. Rice a an 8 is more productive than Granit could be. Remember he did play mostly as a 6 until Partey came back. Rice offers more to this team than Granit offensively and defensively. We have more points and more wins than last season. Next season would be mad.
Should have supported Leverkusen then u
Can I get in on that 50 quid bet, James? I'd be happy to make it an even grand. Free money.
I strongly believe we need a midfielder a six ( a younger partey gorgi ) or an explosive left 8 but it all depends on who goes or stays ( sambi ESR Fabio partey ).what kind of money can we spend and how can we stretch the money to make us extra strong We need to get the ingredients for the cooking for sure
Hi Charles
I know you will avoid my question. Talking about Kudus, do you think Arteta is following Pep’s model of not signing African players. I know we have Partey but it was inevitable at that time
Was last year's window a model for this one? Top 3 purchases - £105m, £65m, £38m.
Sesko will become the NEXT LEWANDOWSKI‼️👍🏻
Hi Charlie s,Gooners hope you are all well have a great weekend all 🤙🙏.From Irish gooner Liverpool ☘️.
Have faith arsenal title
Sesko and Havertz are both tall, less pacey options who need to be supplied the ball in particular areas. Our new striker should have the attributes to play on the wing like an Isak. Someone who can score out of nothing, beating a few players and/or carrying the ball from the halfway line.
Viktor gyökeres
On palace, Adam Wharton is clearly a top player, has top 6 potential for sure. My question is FDJ or Bruno?
Both, Frenkie for LCM and Bruno CDM ;)
Imagine
Odegaard, Frenkie, Rice and Bruno as your 4 options
West Ham are due for a result at the Etihad! They can do it. Come on you irons!
Little dig at the Lee Gunner mentality there (Arteta out questions)?
James is on the same wavelength when it comes to improving the team. Refreshing not to hear the same dribble of adding a 150 mil striker. Why buy a striker when the biggest problem has been LW and Partey's injury problems? No way Arsenal benches Kai after his 2nd half form. Need to see what happens next year especially after a summer as Germany's #9
If we are bringing in younger players rather than ready made proven players from within the PL, it is acceptance that the First XI is good enough to win the PL. That is probably about right, with exception of a CM to play alongside Declan Rice and Odegaard, with likely exit of Partey.
Any younger players brought in for the first team squad though have to still be exceptional and a level above Reiss, Eddie, etc. Squad depth is not improved unless Arteta fully trusts all the players to come in as required, and in rotation.
🇿🇦
My Dreams signing is
- De Jong
- Nico williams
- Frimpong
- And a cheap isak bc im swedish
I'd love Frenkie
Don't think it'll happen but to have Odegaard, Rice, Bruno G and Frenkie as your midfield options is the standard we need to go after
If nico wants 300k then there's no point, rather have one of Olise/Kudus/Simons/Neto
Don't think we need a rb but I'd happily take Frimpong
Why not the actual Isak :D
Palace in the top 4 🤣🤣🤣🤣
First to comment
Who was the other player James mentioned with Leao? Farrascalia or something
Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, highly rated Napoli winger
Cheers mate
First
It was a very weir finish even if you think he didn't mean to miss. A blind man goes the other side. Also the first goal looked offside to me
Go big for a Lautaro Martinez and Frenkie De Jong
I’m annoyed that the spurs can’t play properly and defend against Man City 😢
You guys downgrade Martinelli's performance regularly. Saka's performance is greatly enhanced by White, Odegarde. Who's behind Martinelli to bring out the best on that win?
No1 has to be back up for Saka
Hello Charles
Hi Charles
Can we say that both of you are Anti Partey? But I hope you realise that the sideways passing no 6 is what made us to be where we are at the moment. I know Englush fans adores Rice but him and Jorghino are so much into sideways that lost us a lot of games we supposed to win.
Oh Charles, swimming is so low impact 😂
Zinchenko and ESR will do a solid job in left 8
ESR is rubbish sorry but without sentiments i think we grew out of him
Hate to say it but I disagree, I'd love to see esr given another season but I think both will be sold
ESR ain’t rubbish.. We fans have short term memory..He got injured and he’s only going to have a full pre-season This summer..He is class..Have we forgotten how he manned that left side of the midfield floating with Auba back then..
@@danielagbaniyaka6196 clue being back then, mate he's not making it here, he's barely played despite being fit in recent months
@@GavLever ESR does practically the same thing kai does in midfield and kai is taller to win aerial duels. We grew out of ESR and hes also not fit so everytime he comes on from injury he feels like hes playing football for the first time. Sure he did gd gd vs luton, but he was rubbish vs villa and chelsea no thanks
Top-4 Palace is a pipe dream now. Even moreso once they sell one or two of their best players. Less than a 5% chance, come on now James 🤣🤣
Son play that ball straight to the keeper he miss that ball on purpose
Isak is Championship level striker.
Palace? No, Chelsea are the next top4, imo
We need a mobility merchant like viktor gyökeres we will outscore teams he reminds me of Luiz suarez
1 season wonder, too old, too inconsistent
@Iamevlhmr he's only 25 years old. How do you judge him inconsistent wat metrics have you used to come to that conclusion.
Question for Sam:
Arsenal have been really unlucky with some of the structural changes to the football financial landscape:
a) Having to pay for the Emirates stadium just as all the sugar daddies arrived.
b) Getting rid of our deadwood just before the Saudi league came about.
We all think that we are probably selling many of our fringe players this season (Ramsdale, ESR, Nketiah, Nelson).
Are we missing another structural change by not attempting to rather delay some sales to next summer when the new spending caps kick in (especially on the guys with longer contracts)?
As an example, loan Reiss and Rammers before selling them the following year when by all expectation there will be more money available... rather than accepting low offers now?
Both Golf and swimming kills my body more than football
Son play that ball straight to the keeper him that ball on purpose
I don't see arsenal sign any mild fielder next season.
Why extending joginho contract?
Squad player. We’re getting rid of quite a bit of players this off season so can’t risk losing experience squad player
Because we need at least one if not two.
Unchanged team like the last time please Arteta
HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡
Isak is so over rated please stop this nonsense. Sign A Leao, Lautaro Martinez and Frankie De Jong. Although I doubt the Milan teams would sell but Barca are most likely
I think palace could finish top half
Happy to make back-to-back appearances in the videos lol
West Ham need to play for the draw/win to give themselves a place in history as the team that stopped Man City from winning a record fourth PL title. Nobody would forget that.
I get it but there isn't a team in the world that would play for a loss mate, I mean the Spuds fans are a different beast but teams, they all play to win.
@@DarrenTaylor-be5hf Can you speak english?
@@DarrenTaylor-be5hf Utter Bollocks?
I'm not the one saying soemthing about me that is completely off the scale wrong, bubba longshot!
If I was a spuds fan, why would I call my own team, "Spuds"???
Penny dropping yet?
Fair play on the 5 languages, if it's not "utter bollocks" that you speak 5 languages.
Hi Charles, From Johnny. I don’t think the City team this season are as much of a winning machine as you make out to be. They won 2 of their 10 games this season against top 6 this season (1 at home against a Villa team that gave up and started Chambers and 1 Tuesday with dodgy KDB decision and ludicrous Son miss). They also did not win over any big Club in Europe. They are just better at steamrolling weaker sides than Arsenal, or more precisely the first-half-of-the-season Arsenal.
😂 Swim again Charles, your muscles are just responding to muscle demans you put on it, more life man. I'm proud of you
We need to stay away from injury pron investments , just look at Partay Jesus Tommy Xinchenko and Martinelli cost us the title this season through injuries
My perfect window would be Openda, paqueta, tapsoba, xavi Simmons, Joshua kimmich. But I know I'm dreaming.
Frankie de jong is perfect levels above Bruno g and cheaper and we should get hato also
I'm not sure on de Jong but I definately don't want Bruno. Last summer then yes. But am I the only one who thinks Bruno hasn't had a great season?
The easiest £50 Charles ever made 😂
Of course Arsenal can spend 300K, especially if they have a few sales. Must aim for elite level now…stage 4 😂
James needs to stop puffing the magic dragon. Was he high?
Hi Charles, we always seem to phrase the question of who to acquire by thinking in terms of bridging the gap to City. We should instead be thinking now on the level of what it takes to be the best club team in Europe in every position and should be going after the very top talents who can help us. This would also need us being absolutely ruthless with who are currently not up to the mark in the squad.
Would you be in favor of Arsenal adopting such an extreme approach? I do realize this would need us pushing the boat out a bit in terms of our finances.
Hi 👋 guys 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I still can't believe Son missed scoring the goal. Out of of all the times Arsenal wanted Tottenham to win 🏆 a match they lose. I hope Tottenham get relegated God willing. COYG to thrash Everton God willing 🙏 and West Ham win 🏆 or draw God willing. Have a good day guys 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😀.
Benge has lost his mind .. Chelsea will have a better shot at top 4 than Palace.
We need a striker.. stop playing Havertz he is the weakest link.. and we need back up for saka he is beginning to look burnt out..
Please keep SMITH ROWE OUT - ZINCHENKO , VIERA , RAMSDALE , ELNENY , NKETIAH , LOKONGA , TIERNEY. in BOWEN .. Centre forward , Midfielder and KEEPER .
You're so confident Palace can't make top 4 charles that you should give james odds of 5 to 1. Liecester won the league at 5000 to 1 and from what I remember no one even gave them a hope when they where top at December. Anything is possible in the epl. Look at what emery and howe dome woth there relegation fodder
Palace "top four", not next season, not any season, never
Charle what’s wrong with your hair
4 English players to leave the club.. and 3 home grown
DeJong is on € 721,154 week, there is no way he moves, plus we would not break our wage structure. Kvaratskhelia is on par with Kulusevski, I would not want him at our club.
This is not the time to buy potential players. They will not help us to close the gap against city
Dream summer
Isak
Neto/Olise/Kudus/Simons
Frenkie
Bruno G
Szczesny
Hato
Dont think its a popular opinion but i would happily see the back of Zinchenko, Partey, Jorginho, ESR, Vieira, Nelson and Nketiah if it meant signing those guys
They'd be players Arteta could actually trust
The only signing that would get me really excited would be Kvaratskhelia as the productivity from Martinelli this season has been abysmal.
I predict a loss for man city against west ham, and Arsenal will draw the game against Everton.
Man city 1-2 West Ham
Arsenal 1-1 Everton
Unfortunately we gonna fall short again at the end.
😂
What a Donkey Arteta is.. he let us down the Villa game. 🤦
Bruh, between the lw take and Crystal Palace take, this guy’s takes are horrible.
Congrats on your £50 pounds next season Charles! 😂
AFTV numbskulls will probably be saying Arteta shd be sacked if Arsenal don't ein the league on Sunday.
It's almost impossible to compete with Monopoly City but Arteta has done that for 2 seasons now. It's been a fantastic season for AFC
