In regards to your conversation about the kids - I feel like a lot of our fanbase have some absolutely bizarre perspectives on how old these players are and how far along their development they are. As you pointed out we haven't lost anyone significant off our books outside of Omari and he was a Chelsea fan so you can put that down to extenuating circumstances. We've brought through Eddie ESR Saka etc... during quite a barren run for our youth academy outside of these players. At the end of the day we haven't been pumping infinite resources into the academy like Chelsea or City have been for a while now - so our fans are latching onto players (like Reull) who just didn't cut the mustard and saying "why isn't he playing! City play kids!". If he was at City he wouldn't be playing either. Then last year I saw loads of people comparing Oscar Bobb getting starts to Nwaneri. Oscar Bobb made his debut at the age of 19. If Nwaneri made his debut at the same age we wouldn't see him play until the 2026/27 season. Our fans need to be way more aware of players ages and what can be expected of them at that age rather than crying about them not getting minutes in pivotal season where we can't afford to drop off if we want to compete for trophies. Hopefully with the promised increase in funding into academy talent we will start seeing more players come through over the coming years - but playing a load of kids in the league cup, most of whom if they pan out we could sell to a championship club for a million quid isn't going to change the trajectory of the club so please stop moaning about it

Thanks for the updates as always Charles. Was getting curious about the Gyokeres situation as it's been constantly coming up in my "Arsenal news" (aka "latest Arsenal meaningless crapola") searches. Hadn't seen anything though from reliable sources such as yourself, Arseblog, Ornstein, or Fabrizio Romano (lately aka the "Chelsea Transfer News Channel").
Hey Charles, I was only arguing with a friend of mine who is a United fan the other day about Rice being the 2nd best 6 in the world under Rodri and my friend said Kimmich and I had to give it to him. It's great to be on that list of clubs he wants to play for but Partey or Jorgie would have to go to fit him in. It's a no brainer for me, we will win the league with him Rice and Odegaard in the middle.... As well Kimmich under Tuchel has been an inverted full back so he can step in there if needed as well. I really hope this happens now
Howdo Charles If Olise heads Bayern this must mean one or some of their established wingers could become a great market opportunity Who do you think it could be and who would you like it to be if we were to be interested in signing them? Cheers as always for the content Peace & Light Ben Randm🙏🏾💗🙌🏾
Hello Charles. Maybe you could skip tommorowa video because as you said, the news is a bit dry because of the euros. So you could combine the news of the past 2 days and make a better quality video
Kimmich would be an elite signing, he’s a leader and winner, is very intelligent on and off the ball, very versatile and would compliment Rice so well in the midfield, the only sticking point would be the wages.
I'd love to have Josh Kimmich join us. We could look for a swap deal too as apparently Vincent Kompany would like to bring Zinchenko and Lokonga to Bayern Munich I'd also like us to resign Serge Gnabry.
I do not blame Arteta for ESR. He has not taken the few chances he has received. The competition at this level is so high. Players should prove themselves in training and cups. The fringe players let us down in the cups as well.
Kimmich is pure class! However, his age and salary might be a worry. We might get 2 to 3 good years out of him, but at what cost? I would rather go for a younger player with sell-on value, or develop one of our fringe players/youngsters into that position.
Everyone wants us to be a top, title challenging club but they also want us to be giving every potential youngster a consistent run of games in the first team to develop and become incredible. Unless your youngster is mbappe or bellingham every club that plays lots of unproven youngsters in their first team is middle of the table at best. And yes when it pays off it looks great and they make lots of money, but no one talks about how the others didnt work and that a club like brighton is sitting mid table and never considered to be a potential titlw challenger. What do we as Arsenal fans really want? I want the title
We still need another midfielder even if Kimmich signs. I actually don't want him. He's probably only good for another 2 years before the rapid inevitable drop that comes with age. Look at Son, Kane etc. Kimmich also has an attitude problem and tends to blame and yell at his teammates on the pitch. He won't have the same pull at Arsenal as he does at Bayern. I can actually see Arteta and Kimmich butting heads. This is going to be a poor decision imo. I get people want him for experience, but if that comes at a cost of disrupting the squad, he's not worth it, let alone the high wages as well
And what is Omari Hutchinson doing now at Chelsea?Young Players leave clubs for a variety of reasons, can't blame the club for that. We wish them all well. There are many mitigating reasons. Haven't seen any of these young players who left become top class players in the leagues around Europe so a bit of perspective is needed.
Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I would like Arsenal to keep Emile Smith Rowe and give him minutes and I would like Arsenal to sign Eze too because he is amazing on and off the ball. COYE to bring it home 🏡 God willing. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.
i get casemiro vibes from kimmich, in the sense that, he was so highly rated, widely considered as someone who could be a leader at utd, serial champions league winner and la liga winner, on very high wages. One good year at the new club, and then looks like a finished player. Wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to kimmich but..... this arsenal team has had a very different atmosphere in the dressing room compared to the widely reported toxic man utd dressing room atmosphere. So we never know, it might turn out to be a decent signing. However, signing a player touching 30, slightly lacking in physicality, bringing him to the Premier League, at that level of wages, sounds risky to say the least. He's the type of signing that has Barcelona written all over it, big name, getting old, possibly will be well and truly past his peak in a couple of years, just bring him in rn to appease the fans, and cry about finances couple years later, and then desperately try to move him on, force him to take a pay cut, or even delay his wages 😹😹
Kimmich.. I don't see what he brings to the team. Never in doubt a good player..But not what we are looking for right now..We need a Rw,CF & CM then likely a LB if Tierney ends up staying...
The "it's not my money" stance that fans take doesn't wash with me at all. Yes its "not your money" but its the clubs money and especially in the PSR era that means that using it poorly prevents other opportunities. Wouldn't mind us sigining Kimmich, not becuase "it's not my money" but because I think it would be a decent usage of the clubs resources. The club could spend 200m to bring back Yaya Sanogo for all I care in terms of my personal finances - but it would hamstring them sporting wise for years to do so. This is why I do care about what the club spends money on and the "its not my money" cope that fans come out with is just silly
I really can't understand the argument to play our first team in the League Cup, it is meaningless, winning it won't award anyone with any credit as it is considered worthless, compared to other priorities and you can't challenge for all four honours with this squad, especially since there will be even more game congestion with internationals in the form of WC qualifiers this season coming. We simply can't risk fatigue or worse still injuries in the "Teacup" which could derail our potential title charge. It is imperative we prioritise PL and CL imo. Until this team and Arteta win one of these two major honours they will not be considered a success and your peers in the media will undoubtedly agree with this sentiment as well. Arteta already won an FA Cup and still not respected by rival fanbases. PL title and they will have no choice and tbh having now been 21 years since the last title, it is massively overdue and the least the fans deserve after such a huge drought and especially frustrating period in the latter part of Wenger's tenure.
Arsenal are RUBBISH enough at getting value for the players we sell. We don’t need to compound it by doing Bayern a favour and buying a player turning 30 like Kimmich. He didn’t help them win anything, and we’d have to eat a sizeable transfer fee and wage structure on a player who’ll be worth nothing in a couple of years. It would be yet another example of us getting our tummies tickled by other clubs. No thanks. More foresight than that needed now, please.
Kimmich hasn't played well in a couple seasons, 29, and makes big big money - I just don't see IT. Gyokores was right there at Coventry for under 20m and now he's an 80m player in a season? Typical thing where Prem clubs don't look ignore Championship players. Consider it a missed opportunity and move on.
Kimmich could easily play at high high level til he is at least 36. He has the class and tenacity to take our squad to an entirely different level. Him holding, Rice in the 8, and odegaard in the attacking midfield position would be a midfield to be reckoned with. This is the type of player we need to really get over a team like City. We must also recognize the fact that we need to win titles NOW. Kimmich is in his prime - physically, mentally and technically. His versatility and experience would be critical to our success. Would allow Odegaard to not have to drop so deep to receive the ball either.
@@LwandleDlamini_with 1 year it would definitely be a cut price and 29 we could use that to lower the price more hopefully 50-60 would be a bargain tbh
Maybe I see things differently, but kimmich ia a given. He replaces Jorginho, who replaced Elnenny. And to boot, he gives us incredible technical ability across multiple positions. Add in Bruno, Eze, Kadioglu and Gyokeres and I think we dominate next season. COYG N5 AFC
Yeah, top midfielders like dejong, kimmich to take us up another level is needed. Forget young projects we have a young squad as it is we want players in their prime who are ready to win us the league. Add in douglas luiz and players like that, a goalscorer like osimhen or gyokeres, and a winger who loves to dribble and best players like leao or williams and we are cooking.
Charles, the Kimmich disrespect by this fanbase is genuinely embarrassing. The pool of CL winning leaders is tiny. We would be lucky to get him. If he signs for City, they will be clear favourites for the title again.
It's less about disrespect and more that he doesn't fit in with how the club is run. This is a club that spends what it has has, unlike City. Of money was no issue then 100% go get him.
@@chriscam876 oh i see. Well I've waited 20 years for a prem title, and i think he'd be so useful in that pursuit... I'm beyond worrying about breaking the Kroenke's bank (whether that's credit lines or otherwise). But I see the point.
@@chris94kennedySure, I get where you're coming from. Big time experience and know how. But in my mind, there's a player who costs 20m more, is younger (25/26) and would be on 1/3 the wages. That's a better bet in my mind.
Charles do you not get embarrassed with all these silly videos about this player that player any player that wants to come to arsenal or be signing for us. It's just so so boring. I really enjoy your shows but come on mate. This is it. It's like putting your nails out listening to this s*** change it please because I do enjoy your shows
Hi Charles, it's an absolute yes to Kimmich. He immediately improves the squad, can play in multiple positions, experience, leadership and most importantly he is a serial winner
Kimmich and Eze would be 2 incredible midfield signings. The flexibility and cover in all areas we would have with those 2 would be exactly what we have been missing the last few years. Kimmich will play at a high level still for a long time- and Eze is just hitting his prime.
Hey Charles, love the content! I think that kimmich would be an incredible signing for next season. The experience he brings as well as the versatility would be a huge plus. I think we could end up seeing a lot of interchangeable movement between him and white with him inverting which would cause massive problems for other teams. Only concern would be potential wages but other than that I have no qualms about it at all! Keep up the good work! Lewis
Sustainability of squad kind of merits a younger player than Kimmich coming in this summer, especially as Sambi Lokonga has not worked out. It’s a transfer that doesn’t make sense based on what the club was saying regarding plans ahead of this window. That said, if it happens I’m with you Charles, I won’t object, and the transfer setup at Arsenal has credit in the bank for trust this summer window.
I dont think we need another 8. Arteta should use creative goalscoring half 8 and half 10 in ESR and Odegaard. Rice can comfortably play 6 on his own with Saliba and Gabriel begind him. I think the players we need to win the league are a replacement for Saka and a super 9
@@SSELoves80085 He will be coming in to provide an option at 10. Our starting L8 will be Rice. Eze would be mostly employed on the left of the front 3, where we are currently weakest.
Yes, so the Italian coach is saying exactly what we're observing. When we dominate possession, it's OK to have Jorginho playing but when there is more of a contest he is not as energetic and able to compete at the level needed.
So many rubbish rumours lol. As soon as it was confirmed sesko was staying at leipzig we hear that arsenal suddenly want osimhen and now its gyokeres😂. It seems the media just play on peoples beliefs (that arsenal need a striker) and then falsely link a player with the club.
Arsenal had 5 players with more than 4500 minutes in their legs last season inc Ode, Gabriel and Saliba. City had only 2. That was without the FA cup and Carabao and now they have Euros and Copa America minutes as well. We don't have the squad size like City Mikel can rely on. People, stop being unrealistic. This club is being built to Win the big 2. Am sorry but the Carabao cup is meaningless. I will support the club and Mikel if they use it to blood kids and we don't win it if it means we give ourselves a 5-10% extra chance of winning the league. This Carabao cup and FA cup sentiment is blinding you. We will eventually get there with Squad size but I just could care less about those two cups. Don't risk any heavy hitters in it. 20:22
The Eze release clause structure has nothing to do with PSR and purely just impacts club cashflows. For PSR purposes the £60m release clause stretched over a 5 year contracted is still £12m in PSR due to accounting principle of amortization regardless of the exact structure of payment. Similarly, I believe with all Spanish release clauses they would have to be paid in full up front so similarly would have potential cashflow implications but not necessarily PSR implications. Cashflow questions can be fully covered by KSE however so it's just a matter of if the Kroenke's want to cover that potential cost up front.
As I’ve said before: Kimmich would be perfect as long as he plays as a CDM and not a RB. Makes sense in a lot off ways: age (as the market isnt amazing now, give him a 3+1 yr deal), xp, price, versitility and QUALITY (we are ready to push for titles now)
On giving young players chances, I believe arteta should NOT play young players in the cups. Arteta should put out strong teams in the cups, and try to WIN the damn trophies. once we have consistently won the cups 3-4 years in a row, maybe in the 5th year we can think about blooding in young talent via cups. But we cant talk like the cups dont matter and we can start academy players in them. We have not won a trophy for 4 years now. I'd be livid if Arteta started academy graduates or even players like Fabio Viera in the cups, unless we are playing a team from League Two or non league maybe, then we can think about starting Fabio Viera.
Charles, Did you look at your car when you said " even if I have to do it from my car " ? 😂 I think the viewers deeply miss the car videos so it may just be for the greater good. Also I'd rather we won the league cup next season, as its during the season & motivates the squad even further towards the final hurdles. Lastly I think Yunas Musah , Donyell Malen & maybe Ismael Bennacer would of been a few youth players that springs to mind that I'd liked to have held onto wiser with smart loans, best of luck to Amario. Cozier-Duberry.
ESR, EDDIE, NELSON, for me these players have missed their opportunity and have got very Complacent like they are happy just to take a wage. Time for new blood
Charles, during the last 24 hours,we have been linked to Mikel Merino and Guirassy. They are good players, but doesn't seem to fit that age profile Arteta and Edu set up. If they are seen as Trossard type players(quality squad player), i wouldn't mind. Definitely not a ceiling raiser type of signings.How do you think of this links?
Hi Charles! Heard from TNAT that we are looking for 40M for ESR, in that case wouldn’t a swap deal with Eze makes a lot of sense? 40 for ESR and 65 for Eze looks fantastic for both teams on account books
Hi Charles. Questions about ESR. There is a lot of talk about his skills/abilities, but do you think part of the reason why Arteta doesn't use him is because he is too weak in the duels? Havertz is taller than ESR but not that much more muscular, but puts a hell of a lot more in every duel. Ødegaard may not be that strong in a duel, but he runs and works like a madman. From everything I've seen of ESR, I feel he lacks something in both of those areas. And is this more mental thing?
How about a summer competition? Who gets to write the letters AFC in the funniest way, in the funniest place. With flowers in the garden, with beer cans in the square, with seashells in the sand. Or an Arsenal hat on the little mermaid, 10 feet tall Lego letters........ Submit, a photo and win. Was it an idea during this PL break. 😃
Hello Charles, I enjoy your posts and try to listen in as much as I can. I however think you completely misunderstood my comments regarding Arsene taking advantage of the League cup. Did playing our younger players boost performance levels and therefore value of our academy players? Yes. Did it enable the club show the young ones they were in the managers plans? Yes. Wenger never saw the League cup as must win so I think you shouldn’t make it seem like that was the club’s set target.
I have a question about the Arsenal youth players. Seems like there's a lot more talk in the last couple years about youth players. However with how high the level is at the club and Arteta's seeming lack of interest in giving playtime to subs in the first team like ESR, Nelson, and Vieira (let alone youth players), do you think there's a realistic path for Arsenal youngsters to get in the first team? If so, what is it? It seems like a lot of the prospects like Biereth or Patino would rather just go somewhere else and get assured play time than stay at Arsenal. -Cody
Loving your work Charles. Do you think whenever we do decide to buy a new number 9 it will be a taller, stronger 9 (like havertz, sesko etc) rather than a smaller quicker striker? This comes after seeing some exciting play by openda for belgium but not sure arteta likes that profile…
Hi Charles. People claiming Eze can play on the wing are basing this off his FIFA card more than his performances. I wonder if they watch Palace very much at all. Palace fans will openly tell you he is very poor on the wing. Eze is best through the middle.
What is all these kvetching over 18-22 year olds, who’ve not broke into the 1st team? How many have moved on, and been great? We cannot want to win big titles, and stock the team with academy products! Those good enough will ultimately break through
Charles: after the Brazilian performance tonight. I’d rather take Partey playing 15 games a season than your guy Bruno Guimares fully fit a whole season.
Hi Charles, I wonder how do you feel about us going into the new season with Kai Havertz as our main striker. I feel like we should really prioritise on getting an out and out lethal goalscorer such as Gyokeres as I still think we can’t rely on Havertz throughout the season despite the revival he had during the 2nd half of last season. We could see how it helps Germany when Kai doesn’t come through with the goals as they can bring on a different option in Fullkrug with more aerial ability and directness towards goal. It also helped Madrid in the semis vs Bayern when Joselu came through. Financially i think we should keep Partey if we can’t get a midfielder we want for the right price and we could use Jesus as a back up wide attacker as he has done well there for city.
I struggle to understand how a 29-year-old who has meticulously looked after their health and lifestyle is called old. It's a stereotype. The Wenger mantra has been debunked repeatedly. JK has so much life left in him.
Charles, Angleo Stiller, we need to do whatever it takes to get him, we need to get him now before he becomes too expensive, f*ck Kimmich and those other guys we need Stiller... Please go watch him play.
I would love Kimmich to join Arsenal. Can cover multiple positions, and I believe his personality will fit perfectly. Age, not an issue, speed is not part of his game, and he has a good injury history
Hi Charles, what is your thoughts on Dani Olmo? with a €60m release clause surely he must be a realistic option for further strenthening our attacking and midfield options. Would love to hear your thoughts on this as he has been exceptional and one of Spains standout players so far in the Euros.
£20m a year for a 5 year contract is the same as buying a 100m player and amortising over 5 years - personally would prefer to take Neves for 100m but I can see the case for Kimmich
Eze is totally different to ESR. They can play left 8 or from left flank yes, but thats where the similarities end, people who say they are similar obviously havent watched Eze
We have a vibrant young team, very good chemistry. Why bring in a 29 yr old "last big payday" risk to that chemistry? Resting on laurels, etc is a bad apple.
What is the point of selling a 30 year old party to replace him with a 29 year old ?? Doesn’t make sense. This won’t happen. Ede even gave a short term deal for Jorinio
Omari had a 50% sell on clause, at the age these players leave we want sell them due to restrictions but this is the approach taken by arsenal and most big clubs, people need to stop crying about these kids… they are never gonna help us win now, we’ve been down this route with wenger and didn’t win anything major, we need experience now to add to an already young team
So RIP to the cord Charles! Will feel like an end of an era
Sad times indeed. Will miss that messy cable
😂. R I P indeed
Imagine if the decorator just paints round it
It’s the one on the right hand side I’ll miss. Thunderbolt. So much style.

The club could spend 200m to bring back Yaya Sanogo for all I care in terms of my personal finances - but it would hamstring them sporting wise for years to do so. This is why I do care about what the club spends money on and the "its not my money" cope that fans come out with is just silly
Live from the tolly!
I wonder if the people would still be talking about esr if we were to sign wirtz or musiala
I really can't understand the argument to play our first team in the League Cup, it is meaningless, winning it won't award anyone with any credit as it is considered worthless, compared to other priorities and you can't challenge for all four honours with this squad, especially since there will be even more game congestion with internationals in the form of WC qualifiers this season coming. We simply can't risk fatigue or worse still injuries in the "Teacup" which could derail our potential title charge. It is imperative we prioritise PL and CL imo. Until this team and Arteta win one of these two major honours they will not be considered a success and your peers in the media will undoubtedly agree with this sentiment as well. Arteta already won an FA Cup and still not respected by rival fanbases. PL title and they will have no choice and tbh having now been 21 years since the last title, it is massively overdue and the least the fans deserve after such a huge drought and especially frustrating period in the latter part of Wenger's tenure.
Car video VAMOS!
Add Kimmich and Nicolò Barella we win the lot!
Do tomorrow video outside
Kimmich must have had a word with Havertz about Arsenal
Arsenal are RUBBISH enough at getting value for the players we sell. We don’t need to compound it by doing Bayern a favour and buying a player turning 30 like Kimmich. He didn’t help them win anything, and we’d have to eat a sizeable transfer fee and wage structure on a player who’ll be worth nothing in a couple of years. It would be yet another example of us getting our tummies tickled by other clubs. No thanks. More foresight than that needed now, please.
Good morning
A mf trio of Declan rice, Odegaard and Kimmich is mind blowing
Kimmich hasn't played well in a couple seasons, 29, and makes big big money - I just don't see IT. Gyokores was right there at Coventry for under 20m and now he's an 80m player in a season? Typical thing where Prem clubs don't look ignore Championship players. Consider it a missed opportunity and move on.
Dude I live on The Bomber Estate pop round to do Tuesdays video and I’ll do you a cup of tea 😂
You always having a go at the manager. He's doing a good job!!
No chance
Kimmich has been poor for a long time
Gyoker far to much money
kimmich gives me mustafi vibes
Please explain why because I'm confused
..🎉
Kimmich could easily play at high high level til he is at least 36. He has the class and tenacity to take our squad to an entirely different level. Him holding, Rice in the 8, and odegaard in the attacking midfield position would be a midfield to be reckoned with. This is the type of player we need to really get over a team like City.
We must also recognize the fact that we need to win titles NOW. Kimmich is in his prime - physically, mentally and technically. His versatility and experience would be critical to our success. Would allow Odegaard to not have to drop so deep to receive the ball either.
Perfectly said couldn’t agree more. How much would you pay for him at most? 1yr left on his contract
Possibly 60-70, one year left high wages we would definitelybe commiting a lot for him but he is worth it @Luke-ti7sh
@@LwandleDlamini_with 1 year it would definitely be a cut price and 29 we could use that to lower the price more hopefully 50-60 would be a bargain tbh
@@Slim2Flo 100% man definitely
Charles wherever you do your videos im pressing play immediately 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Maybe I see things differently, but kimmich ia a given. He replaces Jorginho, who replaced Elnenny. And to boot, he gives us incredible technical ability across multiple positions.
Add in Bruno, Eze, Kadioglu and Gyokeres and I think we dominate next season.
COYG
N5 AFC
Any more sire?
Zero % chance we sign 2 forwards and 2 mids
Yeah, top midfielders like dejong, kimmich to take us up another level is needed. Forget young projects we have a young squad as it is we want players in their prime who are ready to win us the league. Add in douglas luiz and players like that, a goalscorer like osimhen or gyokeres, and a winger who loves to dribble and best players like leao or williams and we are cooking.
Could you please pass the joint to the rest of us, sir? 😂
Charles, the Kimmich disrespect by this fanbase is genuinely embarrassing. The pool of CL winning leaders is tiny. We would be lucky to get him. If he signs for City, they will be clear favourites for the title again.
i haven't seen that, I don't use social media a lot. What are people saying? Imo would be a phenomenal signing
It's less about disrespect and more that he doesn't fit in with how the club is run. This is a club that spends what it has has, unlike City. Of money was no issue then 100% go get him.
@@chriscam876 oh i see. Well I've waited 20 years for a prem title, and i think he'd be so useful in that pursuit... I'm beyond worrying about breaking the Kroenke's bank (whether that's credit lines or otherwise). But I see the point.
yes I agree
@@chris94kennedySure, I get where you're coming from. Big time experience and know how. But in my mind, there's a player who costs 20m more, is younger (25/26) and would be on 1/3 the wages. That's a better bet in my mind.
Do your vid from the Bathtub, Charles. Its all the rage. (Good acoustics, too).
I know & some tone deafians have the audacity to say he's quite ....
Arsenal fans cry about everything! We are finally good after 10 to 15 yrs of being a joke. Why can’t we just enjoy this current ride?!?!
Charles do you not get embarrassed with all these silly videos about this player that player any player that wants to come to arsenal or be signing for us. It's just so so boring. I really enjoy your shows but come on mate. This is it. It's like putting your nails out listening to this s*** change it please because I do enjoy your shows
Kimmich isn’t what we need please 29 no thanks
Hi Charles, it's an absolute yes to Kimmich. He immediately improves the squad, can play in multiple positions, experience, leadership and most importantly he is a serial winner
We have white making 25 and timber .
Tomi and kiwior.
Upgrade Rosiak and give these academy boys chance.
Kimmich and Eze would be 2 incredible midfield signings. The flexibility and cover in all areas we would have with those 2 would be exactly what we have been missing the last few years. Kimmich will play at a high level still for a long time- and Eze is just hitting his prime.
Hey Charles, love the content! I think that kimmich would be an incredible signing for next season. The experience he brings as well as the versatility would be a huge plus. I think we could end up seeing a lot of interchangeable movement between him and white with him inverting which would cause massive problems for other teams. Only concern would be potential wages but other than that I have no qualms about it at all!
Keep up the good work! Lewis
Sustainability of squad kind of merits a younger player than Kimmich coming in this summer, especially as Sambi Lokonga has not worked out. It’s a transfer that doesn’t make sense based on what the club was saying regarding plans ahead of this window. That said, if it happens I’m with you Charles, I won’t object, and the transfer setup at Arsenal has credit in the bank for trust this summer window.
I dont think we need another 8. Arteta should use creative goalscoring half 8 and half 10 in ESR and Odegaard. Rice can comfortably play 6 on his own with Saliba and Gabriel begind him.
I think the players we need to win the league are a replacement for Saka and a super 9
Emmmmmmm........... Eze drives the ball forward as does ESR....
Eze 100%, nothing left out, we need to find the money Crystal Place wants upfront.
I'm sure they have the money if needed..
sell ESR for 30m and get Eze for 60M sound moronic though
@@SSELoves80085 He will be coming in to provide an option at 10. Our starting L8 will be Rice. Eze would be mostly employed on the left of the front 3, where we are currently weakest.
Yes, so the Italian coach is saying exactly what we're observing. When we dominate possession, it's OK to have Jorginho playing but when there is more of a contest he is not as energetic and able to compete at the level needed.
So many rubbish rumours lol. As soon as it was confirmed sesko was staying at leipzig we hear that arsenal suddenly want osimhen and now its gyokeres😂. It seems the media just play on peoples beliefs (that arsenal need a striker) and then falsely link a player with the club.
The way Charles defends the Arsenal youth policy. Such a company man. A little bit ridiculous
I think this would be massive as a signing for Arsenal in my opinion
Arsenal had 5 players with more than 4500 minutes in their legs last season inc Ode, Gabriel and Saliba. City had only 2. That was without the FA cup and Carabao and now they have Euros and Copa America minutes as well. We don't have the squad size like City Mikel can rely on. People, stop being unrealistic. This club is being built to Win the big 2. Am sorry but the Carabao cup is meaningless. I will support the club and Mikel if they use it to blood kids and we don't win it if it means we give ourselves a 5-10% extra chance of winning the league. This Carabao cup and FA cup sentiment is blinding you. We will eventually get there with Squad size but I just could care less about those two cups. Don't risk any heavy hitters in it. 20:22
The Eze release clause structure has nothing to do with PSR and purely just impacts club cashflows. For PSR purposes the £60m release clause stretched over a 5 year contracted is still £12m in PSR due to accounting principle of amortization regardless of the exact structure of payment. Similarly, I believe with all Spanish release clauses they would have to be paid in full up front so similarly would have potential cashflow implications but not necessarily PSR implications. Cashflow questions can be fully covered by KSE however so it's just a matter of if the Kroenke's want to cover that potential cost up front.
As I’ve said before: Kimmich would be perfect as long as he plays as a CDM and not a RB. Makes sense in a lot off ways: age (as the market isnt amazing now, give him a 3+1 yr deal), xp, price, versitility and QUALITY (we are ready to push for titles now)
On giving young players chances, I believe arteta should NOT play young players in the cups. Arteta should put out strong teams in the cups, and try to WIN the damn trophies.
once we have consistently won the cups 3-4 years in a row, maybe in the 5th year we can think about blooding in young talent via cups. But we cant talk like the cups dont matter and we can start academy players in them.
We have not won a trophy for 4 years now. I'd be livid if Arteta started academy graduates or even players like Fabio Viera in the cups, unless we are playing a team from League Two or non league maybe, then we can think about starting Fabio Viera.
Charles,
Did you look at your car when you said " even if I have to do it from my car " ? 😂 I think the viewers deeply miss the car videos so it may just be for the greater good.
Also I'd rather we won the league cup next season, as its during the season & motivates the squad even further towards the final hurdles.
Lastly I think Yunas Musah , Donyell Malen & maybe Ismael Bennacer would of been a few youth players that springs to mind that I'd liked to have held onto wiser with smart loans, best of luck to Amario. Cozier-Duberry.
ESR, EDDIE, NELSON, for me these players have missed their opportunity and have got very Complacent like they are happy just to take a wage. Time for new blood
Charles, during the last 24 hours,we have been linked to Mikel Merino and Guirassy. They are good players, but doesn't seem to fit that age profile Arteta and Edu set up. If they are seen as Trossard type players(quality squad player), i wouldn't mind. Definitely not a ceiling raiser type of signings.How do you think of this links?
Hi Charles! Heard from TNAT that we are looking for 40M for ESR, in that case wouldn’t a swap deal with Eze makes a lot of sense? 40 for ESR and 65 for Eze looks fantastic for both teams on account books
Hi Charles. Questions about ESR. There is a lot of talk about his skills/abilities, but do you think part of the reason why Arteta doesn't use him is because he is too weak in the duels? Havertz is taller than ESR but not that much more muscular, but puts a hell of a lot more in every duel. Ødegaard may not be that strong in a duel, but he runs and works like a madman. From everything I've seen of ESR, I feel he lacks something in both of those areas. And is this more mental thing?
Let’s goooo King Charles
How about a summer competition? Who gets to write the letters AFC in the funniest way, in the funniest place. With flowers in the garden, with beer cans in the square, with seashells in the sand. Or an Arsenal hat on the little mermaid, 10 feet tall Lego letters........ Submit, a photo and win. Was it an idea during this PL break. 😃
Hello Charles, I enjoy your posts and try to listen in as much as I can. I however think you completely misunderstood my comments regarding Arsene taking advantage of the League cup. Did playing our younger players boost performance levels and therefore value of our academy players? Yes. Did it enable the club show the young ones they were in the managers plans? Yes. Wenger never saw the League cup as must win so I think you shouldn’t make it seem like that was the club’s set target.
I have a question about the Arsenal youth players. Seems like there's a lot more talk in the last couple years about youth players. However with how high the level is at the club and Arteta's seeming lack of interest in giving playtime to subs in the first team like ESR, Nelson, and Vieira (let alone youth players), do you think there's a realistic path for Arsenal youngsters to get in the first team? If so, what is it? It seems like a lot of the prospects like Biereth or Patino would rather just go somewhere else and get assured play time than stay at Arsenal.

Loving your work Charles. Do you think whenever we do decide to buy a new number 9 it will be a taller, stronger 9 (like havertz, sesko etc) rather than a smaller quicker striker? This comes after seeing some exciting play by openda for belgium but not sure arteta likes that profile…
Hi Charles. People claiming Eze can play on the wing are basing this off his FIFA card more than his performances. I wonder if they watch Palace very much at all. Palace fans will openly tell you he is very poor on the wing. Eze is best through the middle.
What is all these kvetching over 18-22 year olds, who’ve not broke into the 1st team? How many have moved on, and been great? We cannot want to win big titles, and stock the team with academy products! Those good enough will ultimately break through
Charles: after the Brazilian performance tonight. I’d rather take Partey playing 15 games a season than your guy Bruno Guimares fully fit a whole season.
Hi Charles, I wonder how do you feel about us going into the new season with Kai Havertz as our main striker. I feel like we should really prioritise on getting an out and out lethal goalscorer such as Gyokeres as I still think we can’t rely on Havertz throughout the season despite the revival he had during the 2nd half of last season. We could see how it helps Germany when Kai doesn’t come through with the goals as they can bring on a different option in Fullkrug with more aerial ability and directness towards goal. It also helped Madrid in the semis vs Bayern when Joselu came through.
Financially i think we should keep Partey if we can’t get a midfielder we want for the right price and we could use Jesus as a back up wide attacker as he has done well there for city.
I struggle to understand how a 29-year-old who has meticulously looked after their health and lifestyle is called old. It's a stereotype. The Wenger mantra has been debunked repeatedly. JK has so much life left in him.
Charles,
Angleo Stiller, we need to do whatever it takes to get him, we need to get him now before he becomes too expensive, f*ck Kimmich and those other guys we need Stiller...
Please go watch him play.
I would love Kimmich to join Arsenal. Can cover multiple positions, and I believe his personality will fit perfectly. Age, not an issue, speed is not part of his game, and he has a good injury history
Hi Charles, what is your thoughts on Dani Olmo? with a €60m release clause surely he must be a realistic option for further strenthening our attacking and midfield options. Would love to hear your thoughts on this as he has been exceptional and one of Spains standout players so far in the Euros.
£20m a year for a 5 year contract is the same as buying a 100m player and amortising over 5 years - personally would prefer to take Neves for 100m but I can see the case for Kimmich
Eze is totally different to ESR. They can play left 8 or from left flank yes, but thats where the similarities end, people who say they are similar obviously havent watched Eze
We have a vibrant young team, very good chemistry. Why bring in a 29 yr old "last big payday" risk to that chemistry? Resting on laurels, etc is a bad apple.
What is the point of selling a 30 year old party to replace him with a 29 year old ?? Doesn’t make sense. This won’t happen. Ede even gave a short term deal for Jorinio
If it makes sense, Arsenal will NOT do it!
Omari had a 50% sell on clause, at the age these players leave we want sell them due to restrictions but this is the approach taken by arsenal and most big clubs, people need to stop crying about these kids… they are never gonna help us win now, we’ve been down this route with wenger and didn’t win anything major, we need experience now to add to an already young team
I would take Kimmich but would probably be as a upgrade to zinchenko. Steep on the wages though is the only thing that puts me off!
No point keeping ESR if hes not in Arteta's plans, would like him to stay but need to move him on in order to have another player hes confident in
I wouldn't mind if Arsenal upper brass will be acquiring Kimmich, despise his age.
Kimmich sorts this club is all we need in this squad. Keep the squad together add kimmich.
We are good
Kimmich is a very average player I honestly don’t see how he fits into the arsenal squad he does not improve it
On sell on value for Kimmich; it doesnt matter as he would be cheap. No real downside in my mind
anyone having an issue with sound?
Just tested with/withought headphones on other vids and its all fine but this latest one isnt putting out sound
Why go for Kimmich while Zubimendi is available?
Seems a stupid system that arsenal develop these players and getting nothing for them
