Elliot is joined by Tim and Clive for a discussion of the big news regarding deals for Mari, Luiz and Cedric. A squad building debate. The ramifications of the Martinelli injury. And a Southampton preview too.

Always the same, bit bored of the by weekly outrage. Player that earns 60K suddenly jumps to 120K (4 year contract should give you an idea, he wanted stability, backup, its half what Elliot thinks). Also you get banned for this when he was going insane on twitter (by weekly). Clive had very good, reasonable points about this on other podcast. Also the agent fees? "FA documents show that, from February 1 2019 to January 31 2020, Arsenal paid around £13.5m to intermediaries. That's considerably less than Liverpool (£30m), Man City (£29m) Man United (£27.5m) & Chelsea (£26m)." Not one mention since this came out.. agenda, agenda lives on.

I just don't understand Elliots assumptions he touts as fact. How do you know Cedric got a pay rise to be a backup? That makes zero sense. He was on 65k a week before. I highly doubt he is making that or more now. Hector is on 110k a week and worse than he was when he signed. If we can sell Hector, bank 30 million plus, buy a 20 year old RB at 30k a week. We should have 2 players at less than Hector makes a week.

Clive saw you asking on Twitter how good is Kluivert, answer, not good. Interesting that he's got four goals off through balls, otherwise looks like a nothing player, shot map is horrendous, no pressures, no xA/xG:
