Q Charles why arent Arsenal looking to sign Openda he wouldn't cost us as much as Leipzig were asking for Sesko even if they do ask for around that figure I think stylistically he's perfect for us can play anywhere across the front 3 and for a player who scored 24 goals and 13 assists this season in all competitions I can't understand why there aren't bids coming in for him left right and centre?
I just don’t understand why not play Saka on the left wing so he can go on the outside and take advantage of Kane’s heading ability through his pinpoint crossing
The aggressive pricing strategy is smart to me. We have to repair our reputation as a selling club and that starts with using the media to out out excessive prices, it sets the expectation that you cannot approach us with 5-10 million offers for young home grown players. I believe we'll lower our price during negotiations but we need them to take us seriously.
Very true,we used to terminate players contracts and selling at a loss and teams got used to taking our players for cheap, now they pay the price tag or we keep them as squad players.
If you asked most people before the Euros started they would have said that England's problem area was their defence and they had the best attack in the Euros. It's impressive the way Southgate has managed to reverse that.
Expecting Partey to stay injury free us a triumph of hope over experience. Why is he going to be better this season than any of the last few seasons when he's getting older and close to the end of his career ? I'm not suggesting we give him away but if we get a reasonable offer get his wages off the books as we'll no doubt be paying for him to sit on the treatment table for half the season.
@@samwisethegreat23they’re all ‘real fans’ 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve called him tomiyasu tierney and zinny out for their terrible injury records and get told I’m a plastic fan every time. Simple thing is I’m not the daft cunt who’d follow the club off a cliff if they told me to like half our 12yr old fanbase.
Last-minute winner in UCL final 2025; Saliba gets in a clean chrunching tackle that almost sends Rodri back in time, Rice picks up the ball and squares up de Bruyne with a silly dummy, Captain Norway Fantastic makes a few thight turns to make 3 cityplayers collide with each other, before releasing the locomotive Saka Starboy on the right. The Man himself accelerates past a couple, before thundering the the ball in the corner! Game set match and one more beer, please
Hi Charles, love your stuff and I listen every day. With regards to Saka playing for England.. here’s a thought.. opposition teams are aware and scared of him, that’s why they put two men on him when attacking around their box. You quite rightly pointed out that he doesn’t get much help from Walker on the overlap or Kane at all because his movement is not good enough. But what about moving Foden into the right 8 Odegaard role? Their interplay and passing combinations would surely bamboozle and scare the life out of the opposition defences and create so much more from an attacking perspective on the right. (Basically how Arsenal play). Use Bellingham as the left 8 Dekkers at 6 and try Gordon on the left and maybe Gomez at left back unless Shaw is fit enough. That would give balance and plenty of attacking threat. What are your thoughts…
Partey has been good for us whenever he was fit and brought a lot of fluidity and flair to our play, I am happy for him to leave while he is still appreciated and while the club can still recoup a fair amount of value out him. I do hope we get a technically gifted replacement for him as he will be sorely missed if at all the team experiences a drop in game flow.
Charles you really don't understand football finance. Getting 10m for TP could release 50m for a younger midfielder on a 5 year contract. Furthermore, whilst you mentioned his age, contract, and injuries, you omitted to say anything about the allegations against him 18 months ago. We never found out what happened given the expensive lawyers he hired. He may fancy going to Saudi given the culture his religion and the laws
Thomas shall have to be regarded as one of our worst signings, we had to pay a huge chunk of his release figure in cash! He’s never played in any of our really big games when needed him most! And the few appearances he made were at home against teams we should have beaten. Sooooo hugely disappointing for such a great player, I used to watch him in Spain and he was breathtakingly brilliant 🤬🤬
Great channel Charles Please can you answer this question, Arsenal as discussed before are bad at selling players either at the right time or price How have chelsea managed to take omari Hutchinson from us for free only for them to sell him straight away to Ipswich. Am I missing something here, this seems like terrible business.
There is no BUT with Partey. Let him go on a free? Isnt that exactly what previous regimes were criticised for? Its a huge risk, in fact its a certainty he will be injured at some point in the season. Free the wages and lets stop trying to build a team with a guy who just is hardly ever in the team.
Why keep Partey with the HOPE of he being injury free next season? His contract is up next year. And Mr. Watts is willing to keep him with the HOPE of him being injury free for 12 months and leave on a free. Partey has never been injury free for a season at Arsenal. I don't know why anyone would think that he would remain injury free for a season.
I'd definitely sell Partey if we get a decent offer. I'd take 25M as I'm sure we could get Onana for 50M on much less wages. He is going to need replacing after this year either if we keep him so let's get some money and a player who is actually available to play. Having Rice, Onana, and Jorginho who can play the 6 then we can get another 8 like Eze who can also play off the wing should we need Rice in the 8 would give us good options IMO.
I agree with you on my fellow countryman TP5..I think arsenal should not let him leave but I would like arsenal to still sign a CDM because we need squad depth to compete in the league and all the cup competitions
Any talks about getting Quintin Timber, Jurrien’s twin brother? He had a great year last year, he’s affordable, and plays a position that we need depth.
Hey Charles i honestly want to keep Partey but if a bid of 25 to 30 mil came in i would cash in and buy Onana thats the only tempting offer i would listen to.
As much as I love our national team, it's club over country all day long so I can't wait for these bloody Euros to end and for our new season to start!!! COYG'S!
How you doing boys 🤔 bit of a long answer perhaps for this, but if you can pick ONE player each from each Premier League team that you'd like at The Arsenal excluding Ipswich, Leicester & Southampton. Who would you take from each club? Forest- Brentford - Everton - Wolves - Fulham - Bournemouth - Brighton - Palace - West Ham - Man Utd - Newcastle - Chelsea - Tottenham - Villa - Liverpool - Man City -
Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. If Saudi 🇸🇦 Arabia puts in a bid for Thomas Partey for £50m Arsenal should take it. I hope your children perform 🎭 well at the sports day. COYE to thrash Slovakia God willing 🙏. Have a good day Charles 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.
Hello Charles, for TP5, if a crazy bid comes in, let him go. Otherwise, keep him until the end of the season. For ESR, Nketiah, and Reiss, accept any offers over £30M. Use the funds to target new players.
Hi Charles, if a player (Thomas Partey) is contracted to a club and Saudi talk to the player before his club, isn't that "tapping up" and therefore illegal? Andy from West Sussex.
Charles, Romano reported that Arsenal are watching Calafiori of Bologna, who is currently the break out star of the Euro. Personally i don't think he will come to Arsenal though. Bit similar feeling to Locatelli transfer saga. Italy players rarely makes the move to PL(Tonaly and Jorginho are rare exceptions)
Hi Charles, what do you make of the reports seeming to confirm a German player planning to move to the UK who is Arsenal bound. Seems like a video was leaked/posted to TikTok via Twitter. Who do you think it would be, hypothetically?
I missed yesterday's stream and with regards to Eddie 50 million for him is unbelievable. But let's have it right if we asked any premier league club for Eddie that's the kind of fee we would be asked to pay. For example 100 million for Ivan toney equates to 50 for Eddie.
Dump partey asap he's just a sick note and not that good a player, gives so much possession away. Jorginho way better. Dump jesus and zinchenko, Eddie too. I'd take anything for Eddie even Amazon vouchers
Simple window for Arsenal get Ramsdale out get a replacement in. Get Partey Nelson’s nketiah smith Rowe zinny tomiyasu tierney vieira lokonga Tavares all out the club. And bring on plenty of new players. It’s really that simple the club can do it and should get on with it.
Partey needs to go.ook how old crocks have actually benefitted playing in camel league. Its not 10 millits 25 with his wages. He looked arthritic. Ti.e to move on. Need 2 if we keep him as you totally can't rely on his availability
I'm in total agreement with you Charles with regards to Thomas Partey the fee we would recieve isn't worth selling him. You have to take in to account the cost to replace him i dont think i would sell him unless we got a rediculous offer and I don't consider 30 million rediculous it would have to be a figure that would enable us to replace him, so we are talking 40 million. And let's be real 40, million doesn't buy you a midfielder of Thomas's calibre. So I'm with you Charles I think we keep him for another season and then let him go for free.
Arsenal players are quality players they are many Arsenal players out there that did well / and some that are doing very well ..The academy is world class ... partey is worth 50 mil How many players can do what thoms can do? If we dont get the money he would be worth the keep As for Eddie ( how many arsenal players have hat tricks?) And if ESR gets his niggles sorted and gets on with it we know what he can do ....we are paying big money for players why shouldn't we get good money for our players ......come on bring on the money we got business to do We need to get our players as the season is not to far away we need to hold our position and move up we are pushing for it Time is ticking:::;
With regards to Emile Smith Rowe this will be the first pre season he's had injury free for quite some time. I think we and Emile deserves a chance to show us what he's capable of. There's so much more to come from him, I would hate to see him finally reach the consistency and standards we all know he's capable of with another team.
Hi, ya buddy. What I don't understand is why ESR hasn't been given a go . The one game he was allowed to play a full game, he got man of the match. Is it that Arteta just doesn't rate him 🤔
By the way we won’t get decent money from either palace or Fulham let’s not forget Fulham gave us about 30 quid for Leno. Who has been an ever present for two years !!
We need to build a strong squad, getting rid of Partey this year is not a good idea. We need to get a new midfielder to compliment Thomas Partey and Jorginho. Selling TP now would be high risk, especially if we are getting a player outside the Premier league to replace him due to the adjustment period they may require, even Rodri need time to adjust to the league.
I always hear Charles watts say rice is a better ball progresser than partey and I do find it laughable, ball progression is not necessary running with the ball, partey moves that ball forward with just clever passing, something no arsenal player currently possesses, so all these links him leaving are absurd and show shallow football knowledge
lol why keep Party for another year are you joking! what’s the point he is always injured yes of course if you could guarantee he would be fit you would keep him but that’s the point you cannot guarantee and the odds are he will be injured and out for the majority of the season as he has been for the past few so what’s the point in keeping him wouldn’t be weakening the options if he is not available anyway same as Tierney good players but never available so get move them on for whatever you can get
12:34 I think England need to try saka lw, he’s more comfortable than foden hugging the touchline. Hes effective there the times he gets in that position but for some reason both arsenal and England are reluctant put him there even if its for 20 minutes in a game
Regarding needing two midfielders if oartey goes that was the case when we got rice in it should have been rice and another we chose one because the club believed Partey would be fit (never is never has been never will be) so get rid and sign two this window instead of counting pennies.
Hey Charles, thanks for keeping us all afloat/sane in the offseason. 2 questions: 1) Fabrizio seems to have news every day on some player Chelsea has bid on, is tracking, etc. During a fairly quiet Euro period, they seem to be flashing money everywhere. How is this possible? I thought the new restrictions on long player contracts meant they needed to sell before they could buy? Have I missed something with them? 2) Does it seem like there's been a shift at the Euros in terms of who scores and how teams try to score? Goals are a bit low anyway, but it seems like the names we expect to hear (Lukaku, Mbappe, Kane, Lewandowski, Ronaldo) have all been relatively quiet. Is it a defense-focused shift? Or maybe a transition period in terms of big names aging out (Mbappe excepted)?
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.
You say that Partey leaving would weaken the squad, but how exactly does he strengthen the squad when he is absent through injury for large swathes of the season? Whilst we may not get a huge sum of money for him, we will be removing a high earner from our wage bill (I’m not sure exactly what his wages are), and we can then reinvest those funds on a less injury prone and more reliable midfielder. I don’t understand what your fascination with keeping Partey is, when for the most part Arsenal fans are frustrated with him. Yes, he progresses the ball forward better than any of our other midfield players, but that is only when he is fit, which is rare. And if we are to be super critical, he doesn’t protect the ball as well as, say, a Rodri does. Cash in, find a suitable replacement, and move on. Pep wouldn’t keep such an injury prone player on his roster for as long as we have.
For me, I think £25-ish million for Thomas would tempt me to sell him, £30 million for ESR, £30 million for Eddie and £10-15 million for Reece Nelson. These are all realistic fees and I think these deals are probably going to happen this summer. That's about £100 million which would be a first for Edu, a great selling window!! Fingers crossed!!
Partey…No sale for less than £20m….just ride out his contract and use him off the bench…put more into one high quality starting middie…£40m for ESR is brilliant and if they get it I question why we are selling him…
Hi Charles, just to say that the Dassia player from Stuttgart is coming to arsenal. His agent was looking to buy a car from GVE London and leaked that he's coming after the euros
People won't like this- but I'm happy to argue that much of the underperformance in England's midfield/attack is due to slow ponderous ball progression out of defense. Stone's has a 3 and a 4 from L'equipe for his in the last 3 games and Walker has only been around 1 point better. While, Tripper tends to pass sideways and back when playing out of position. On reflection, Trent's inclusion in the early games suggests that Southgate knew his defensive choices couldn't break lines. Thinking of solutions, I'd like to see a 3 (one being a passer) at the back with Gordon and Saka as wingbacks. I agree that we'd benefit from 6 who can screen, turn, and move the ball allowing Rice to play 8. How Southgate might do that while navigating the Kane, Foden, and Bellingham 'all want to play in the same space problem' may be difficult. Nevertheless, for me, there is a structural issue that is unlikely to be resolved by tinkering with the front line alone, it's about the speed of progression and is crying out for major surgery in the back line.
On Trossard, agree with you Charles he hasn't had a good Euros and wonder if he is better as a false 9. Had some good performances for us there last season. He could therefore replace Nketiah as a striker option meaning we can go all out for a winger. Ideally one who can play both wings, as seen recently questions about why would someone join just to be backup to Saka. Well if they can play both sides they should get plenty of minutes. What do you think?
Great channel Charles, watch it religiously every day....... On the Euros they need to dope test Gareth Safegate after a game, he'd fail dismally!! #COYG 😂😂
I would keep TP5 unless we get a fee in the range of 40M + Saudi has been slashing money everywhere so why not get max for TP if they want him? But if it were to me, I would keep him.
I can’t wait to see the back of these Euros. Let’s get stuck into pre-season 💪🏼
Gawd what a weird thing to say.
Absolutely, the Euro's are on a par with the Championship which is, let's face it, factually second rate.
@@christopherbutler631 and you are a clown..
Q Charles why arent Arsenal looking to sign Openda he wouldn't cost us as much as Leipzig were asking for Sesko even if they do ask for around that figure I think stylistically he's perfect for us can play anywhere across the front 3 and for a player who scored 24 goals and 13 assists this season in all competitions I can't understand why there aren't bids coming in for him left right and centre?
I just don’t understand why not play Saka on the left wing so he can go on the outside and take advantage of Kane’s heading ability through his pinpoint crossing
Hi Charles a long time listener. Just wondering If Arsenal sign Eze for left side Number 8. Do you think they would they still sign a winger?
Eze isn't good enough for us, at his age we need world class not mid-table prem.
Saka at the moment is no better than pepe
Idk why it looks like arsenal will not do much business this season
Course they will, it's harder when two international competitions are in play. Be patient
It's not even July yet??
take a day off
My 60th birthday today. Fingers crossed for a great transfer news soon 🎉
Happy Birthday mate 🎉🎂🎉
happy birthday paul!

The aggressive pricing strategy is smart to me. We have to repair our reputation as a selling club and that starts with using the media to out out excessive prices, it sets the expectation that you cannot approach us with 5-10 million offers for young home grown players.
I believe we'll lower our price during negotiations but we need them to take us seriously.

How have chelsea managed to take omari Hutchinson from us for free only for them to sell him straight away to Ipswich.
Am I missing something here, this seems like terrible business.
Get party out...and make sure we get good reliable placement...can't be dealing with this poor injury record, it will not be changing next season

Its a huge risk, in fact its a certainty he will be injured at some point in the season. Free the wages and lets stop trying to build a team with a guy who just is hardly ever in the team.
Bellingham is the problem,, poor going forward, poor on the press and not doing his defensive duties
Won't be long now until Ben White is back with England, because Southgate and crew will finally be out.
Don Beni Blanco is the best RB in the premier league. He's also a master of the dark arts which is perfect for tournament football.
nearly 20 minutes about nothing....it is what it is.
Hi team C.W, personally I still want to see more of that Rice, Partey, Odegaard midfield.
Why keep Partey with the HOPE of he being injury free next season?
His contract is up next year. And Mr. Watts is willing to keep him with the HOPE of him being injury free for 12 months and leave on a free.

He's average for a midfielder, it's time we bought in players of olmo's quality
James Benge 'pitching his tent' is not an image I want to deal with thanks Charles, with or without Glasto reference.
We need 2 regardless of partey relaying on him even as backup is studipness imo get what you can while you can and replace him
Hey Charles i honestly want to keep Partey but if a bid of 25 to 30 mil came in i would cash in and buy Onana thats the only tempting offer i would listen to.
Can I ask why Onana - he's quite expensive and seems like a Declan lite?
25-30 million? That's very low. 40m to consider letting a world class DM go for me!
A fit Thomas Partey is top quality, yes it's a risk. But I would keep him
It's literally a matter of fact that he can't stay fit for any proper amount of time, get rid and move on
As much as I love our national team, it's club over country all day long so I can't wait for these bloody Euros to end and for our new season to start!!!

We keep Partey, We buy Fofana, we buy Pedro Neto we buy Etze that would represent great window for me.
Lets hope England lose soon and Saka can get away from that atmosphere and risk of injury.
That's silly letting him go on a free next year,when if he's offered some money 💰 for him it would be best to get some cash for him!!
Regarding needing two midfielders if oartey goes that was the case when we got rice in it should have been rice and another we chose one because the club believed Partey would be fit (never is never has been never will be) so get rid and sign two this window instead of counting pennies.
It will probably be England v Spain in the finals. Boring football and all England will find a way to make the final.
Hope Saka does a Ben white and leaves England early with all this left back garbage
The Thomas party I know will get injured first game of the season
14:18 so he'll just be rearranging a few deckchairs on the titanic then :)
Would be a sad day to see smith Rowe leave arsenal don’t believe his been given a fair chance
Playing forden and Bellingham at the same time means england will soon be out of euros
The club is moving forward mate I need you to catch up. We can’t make the same mistakes and expect to progress
Context : This is about selling Partey and Eddie’s price tag
Neketiah was almost let go 18 months ago. He is the Arsenal Welbeck
20 mil for partey and we sell. Esr + 25m for Eze.
Trossard just wants to be back with the Arsenal!
I think it’s time for him to go now and do a like for like replacement
fact
Partey might play in Afcon in the new year
2:44 'yes, he's most probably a rapist'....
Bid must be $30M + to get rid of Partey
We should leave the squad alone and add kimmich
Euros just the most boring tournament ever
Hey Charles, thanks for keeping us all afloat/sane in the offseason.
2 questions:
1) Fabrizio seems to have news every day on some player Chelsea has bid on, is tracking, etc. During a fairly quiet Euro period, they seem to be flashing money everywhere. How is this possible? I thought the new restrictions on long player contracts meant they needed to sell before they could buy? Have I missed something with them?
2) Does it seem like there's been a shift at the Euros in terms of who scores and how teams try to score? Goals are a bit low anyway, but it seems like the names we expect to hear (Lukaku, Mbappe, Kane, Lewandowski, Ronaldo) have all been relatively quiet. Is it a defense-focused shift? Or maybe a transition period in terms of big names aging out (Mbappe excepted)?
A players worth is what the clubs put it as
this guy don't know ball
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.
You say that Partey leaving would weaken the squad, but how exactly does he strengthen the squad when he is absent through injury for large swathes of the season?
Whilst we may not get a huge sum of money for him, we will be removing a high earner from our wage bill (I’m not sure exactly what his wages are), and we can then reinvest those funds on a less injury prone and more reliable midfielder. I don’t understand what your fascination with keeping Partey is, when for the most part Arsenal fans are frustrated with him. Yes, he progresses the ball forward better than any of our other midfield players, but that is only when he is fit, which is rare. And if we are to be super critical, he doesn’t protect the ball as well as, say, a Rodri does.
Cash in, find a suitable replacement, and move on. Pep wouldn’t keep such an injury prone player on his roster for as long as we have.
For me, I think £25-ish million for Thomas would tempt me to sell him, £30 million for ESR, £30 million for Eddie and £10-15 million for Reece Nelson.
These are all realistic fees and I think these deals are probably going to happen this summer. That's about £100 million which would be a first for Edu, a great selling window!! Fingers crossed!!
Partey…No sale for less than £20m….just ride out his contract and use him off the bench…put more into one high quality starting middie…£40m for ESR is brilliant and if they get it I question why we are selling him…
Hi Charles, just to say that the Dassia player from Stuttgart is coming to arsenal. His agent was looking to buy a car from GVE London and leaked that he's coming after the euros
Eddie 35M
Nelson 20M
Partey 35M
Lokanga 15M
Teveres 10M
Tierney 15M
Now divide the amount by 2 & that's the figure
If we sell Partey + ESR, we need midfield replacements for both. (Fofana + Eze or a #8).
People won't like this- but I'm happy to argue that much of the underperformance in England's midfield/attack is due to slow ponderous ball progression out of defense. Stone's has a 3 and a 4 from L'equipe for his in the last 3 games and Walker has only been around 1 point better. While, Tripper tends to pass sideways and back when playing out of position. On reflection, Trent's inclusion in the early games suggests that Southgate knew his defensive choices couldn't break lines. Thinking of solutions, I'd like to see a 3 (one being a passer) at the back with Gordon and Saka as wingbacks. I agree that we'd benefit from 6 who can screen, turn, and move the ball allowing Rice to play 8. How Southgate might do that while navigating the Kane, Foden, and Bellingham 'all want to play in the same space problem' may be difficult. Nevertheless, for me, there is a structural issue that is unlikely to be resolved by tinkering with the front line alone, it's about the speed of progression and is crying out for major surgery in the back line.
On Trossard, agree with you Charles he hasn't had a good Euros and wonder if he is better as a false 9. Had some good performances for us there last season. He could therefore replace Nketiah as a striker option meaning we can go all out for a winger. Ideally one who can play both wings, as seen recently questions about why would someone join just to be backup to Saka. Well if they can play both sides they should get plenty of minutes. What do you think?
Great channel Charles, watch it religiously every day....... On the Euros they need to dope test Gareth Safegate after a game, he'd fail dismally!! #COYG 😂😂
Rhiann Brewster sokd for £35M by Liverpool! Hadn’d played a game in PL
Reflektion: Isn’t it very rare to hear players who firmly say that they want to come and play for the club Arsenal!
If there is any bid for Partey take it without even asking questions.
Rhiann Brewster sokd for £35M by Liverpool! Hadn’d played a game in PL
Looks like was actually €26m which is about £20m.
He was loaned to Swansea where he scored 10+ goals in 20 games or something
How can I not laugh when you say Pif. It's just a funny word
Hey Charles any word on this Spanish GK? Joan Garcia
Just wake up at 4am, record show. No problem
pitch them high watch them buy pitch them low watch them go
I would keep TP5 unless we get a fee in the range of 40M + Saudi has been slashing money everywhere so why not get max for TP if they want him? But if it were to me, I would keep him.
40m for a 30+ injury prone player who has 12 months left on his contract? 😂 good luck
You’d probably want to start tierney as well? That’s if you can get both off the treatment table.
