The boys are back for a sizzling Sunday Session—and things are heating up fast in the striker department 🔥
JC and Matt dive deep into the swirling chaos of Arsenal’s summer transfer hunt. With murmurs that Liverpool are sniffing around Alexander Isak, what does it mean for Arsenal’s own plans? Are Sesko and Gyökeres still the main targets—or just the decoys in a Berta masterplan?
We talk:
💣 Why losing Isak to Liverpool would be a disaster
💪 Andrea Berta's ice-cold approach to summer business
🤔 The Sesko enthusiasm dip—has the hype bubble burst?
🧠 VAR: Would a 2-minute decision clock save the game?
🏆 Ethan Nwaneri wins with England—but is he stalling?
🥵 Club World Cup fatigue—why Man City and Chelsea might start the season crawling
And of course:
🧻 Glasto toilets, VIP podcast dreams, and Arsenal shirts in the mosh pit

THERAPY SESSION: NORGAARD AND MLS SIGN FOR ARSENAL!
Strap in—this one’s loaded. Pete, Matt Kandela, and Jacob Hawley return for a Thursday therapy session as Arsenal’s transfer window starts to cook.
🔥 In this episode:
The Nørgaard Signing – Smart business or boring backup? The lads break down why this quiet midfield move could be pivotal.
Myles Lewis-Skelly Signs On – Arsenal’s future captain? We discuss the Real Madrid links, his elite mentality, and what it means for the academy pipeline.
Creative Midfield Void – Is Arsenal putting too much faith in youth? Would El-Khannous be a smart Vieira replacement, or is a generational talent like Dalman the answer?
Shock Sales Debate – Martinelli? Ben White? The team debate who could be sacrificed to fund the Rodrigo dream.
Christian Mosquera Linked – A Spanish wildcard at centre-back. Is this Andrea Berta’s first true discovery?
Partey Out – The end of a mixed Arsenal story. The crew reflects on what was, what wasn’t, and what comes next.
It’s smart signings, squad-building strategy, and a touch of chaos as Arsenal gear up for a massive summer. You won’t want to miss this one.
