It’s a great move for us. Easy to forget that Sterling was England’s best player at one point and he is only 29, an age a footballer would be considered at their peak. Trossard has been a spectacular success, similar age. Sterling will be highly motivated and I look forward to seeing him contribute.

Hi Charles, I agree completely with your remarks about Martinelli on the right wing against Everton last season. His performance was a revelation. As a right footed player this is perhaps not surprising. The key point is that Martinelli thrived on playing closer to Odegaard. The angled little passes behind the fullback allowed Martinelli to come on to the ball at speed and repeatedly deliver dangerous crosses. This is exactly what Havertz needs with his heading ability and his timed arrival in the six yard box. With Martinelli struggling a little on the left wing we need to see more of him on the right.

There are basically two ways of looking at the midfield/forward squad coverage: 1. Worried that we're a bit thin if we have a few injuries. 2. Excited that Nwaneri (and to a lesser extent, Lewis-Skelly) should get some meaningful minutes. I think both perspectives are valid...

While I would love an exciting signing like Williams Arteta talks about small margins making the difference this year. There is potential to massively improve our left side and that is what Arteta and Edu have done. We scored plenty of goals last season but we're targeted down our left. Making this stronger could well be the difference this year in making us a bigger threat down the left but also opening up space on the right.

Unpopular opinion but I think we’ve improved the squad more this summer than last summer. Yeah what we did this window isn’t as exciting as signing a £100M player but last season our main issue was that left hand side and we’ve plugged those holes this window. We now have 2 players for each position who Arteta at least somewhat trusts. That was not the case at all last season! I feel like most people are incapable of applying context. We were told early on that there wouldn’t be any major big money signings and the PSR stuff would effect the market as a whole. And that has 100% been the case when you look at the lack of business by all the big clubs. So contextually I think it was a fantastic window.

Hey Charles. A bit of concern on when Jesus is gonna return with Tierney also training back now.

Kind of a shame if Havertz have to drop back to No.8 again.

It keeps crossing my mind that Zinny would make a really good 6, his vision is good, he can pass well quick enough for that position, astute enough. Defensive skills are above average and he has thatx factor that sixes need. turning risky possession into a hollywood ball. I would give it a go. Nwaneri is Odegard's backup. He is so very good that he needs to be played in a variety of positions to egde him into the first team. He is going to be an arsenal great. Martinelli is a class player, if he spends a few weeks in a dip, don't worry... this is so normal for attacking players. He has the right mix of skills and the senior players around to help him get through this blip.

A front 3 of Saka, Sterling and Martinelli sounds like a winner to me. Havertz when we got him was poor in midfield because of the Chelsea numbing (see Dilbert!) wiping out his confidence, but playing as our striker got his confidence back and that is why he looked good recently in midfield.

Hi Charlie, great show as always. I know that all the furore over the Rice sending off has now died down. I’ve listen to most pundits those that have played football and those that have not. I agree that Rice should have probably gone, although the lack of consistency of referring decisions is obviously questionable. I know VAR cannot get involved as it was a second yellow, but why wasn’t it used to look at the actions of Veltman for violent conduct. We all saw Veltman through the ball at the back of Rices ankle before Rice flicked the ball away which was the exact time Veltman saw the opportunity to have a free hit at Rice. Anyone who played the game know that it is difficult to air shot the ball and would pull out of the kick before kicking Rice. Unless it was Veltman intent to kick Rice. Therefore VAR needs to get involved to view violent conduct. What do you think?

Charles, it's an 8/10 window for me. I can't believe people are so negative about this summer transfer window. 5/10 from some people?! Who was the 25-30 goal striker available for non-absurd money that Arsenal didn't go for? There wasn't a single striker signing any big team I can think of where I am jealous we didn't get him. Arsenal aren't magicians that can conger up a Haaland with potions. We were 2 points off last season and took 4 points from both Man City and Liverpool. Now we're even better. Objectely, we upgraded the quality of our defense w/ Calafiori and a healthy Timber. IMO Merino+Nwaneri is an upgrade on ESR+Veira in midfield. If necessary, Havertz and Zinchenko can also play as an 8. We started last season with Havertz as an 8, not a 9. Once he became our regular 9, then he essentially already replaced Nketiah as a 9 (an upgrade) because Nketiah got essentially no minutes after that. Sterling is an upgrade on Nelson, and is one extra added depth at 9 in an injury emergency. We didn't panic buy and used money wisely, so we left a squad place open and money in reserves to trigger Osimhen's new 75m euro release clause in January if he's doing well at Galastray (who btw play Tottenham so we'll see how he does against a Prem side).

Hi Charles, I agree with your view that Havertz is most likely to start in midfield vs Spurs. Arteta really places a big emphasis on winning duals... and out of the existing options (Jorginho, Zinchenko & Havertz) he probably offers the most in this regard. That said, I think it borders negligence from Arteta to not have given Zinchenko any minutes at CM yet. All of his best attributes are when he is drifting into midfield and his worse attributes are defensively. Think the fact that we have more athletic and defensive minded options at LB (Timber/Calafiori/Tomiyasu) helps to mask both Zinchenko and Jorginho's lack of pace.

Regarding strikers, other teams manage to get high scoring strikers.
