Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't. Journey to 70,000 subs is alive and kicking. Big up you lot tuned in. Let's go over everything that the latest tabloids have to say regarding Arsenal Football Club and also Mikel Arteta's press conference. Ivan Toni's never been shy to speak. I would love him at Arsenal Football Club. I love his mentality. I love how he plays football. Evidently he scores goals. In the striker market where everyone's attainable depending on how much you're willing to pay. The fact that, you know, it appears that Thomas Frank and the higher powers that be at Brentford are kind of resigned to losing him when the time comes. Currently they're fighting relegation and Buermo is injured and Weiss has gone off to AFCON. So it probably was unlikely he would leave Brentford anyways. And a lot of you know of the FFP issues that allegedly Arsenal are facing. Strikers are going to cost a lot of money. Do we have any money? I don't know he's moving. I might be able to get him on the channel. He seems to never be shy to speak, which I think is good. And also he's talking to anyone who will give him the platform people. He has said once again, everyone knows that I would love to play for a top team and be at the top of the leagues playing with the best. I'm a Brentford player at the moment and until that time comes, whether it's this window at the end of the season or whenever it does happen, then so be it. But right now I am a Brentford player and that's my focus. You'd imagine he'd be sold in the summer. You actually can't rule out him running down this deal people. Apparently many feel that Arsenal would win the title this season if they signed him. I think you'd need a lot more than Ivan Toni, you know, assuming he joined Arsenal. His new teammates in theory would have to also pick up the slack. Our Teter has said we need to be a team previously that gets 100 odd goals. Ivan Toni is definitely not going to do that from January to May. And it's probably 99.9% not likely to do such people. And also, you know, there's many, I think it's very simplistic to just simply say that, of course, a top striker that's going to get 20 odd goals in a season or what's left of it, we'd have to adjust our expectations for Ivan Toni, you know, would make us better. But there's a lot more that goes to that. There's a lot that Mikel Arteta needs to arrest in terms of his tactics. And as he says, getting the maximum for his team, for instance, he says what the front three did last season was more or less an anomaly. So in August, what was being said there? Who knows? Maybe we could have got Ivan Toni in the summer and sat on our hands for the months he's out, even though I don't really agree with that. We definitely could have spent 65 million in better areas or spent it better in terms of midfield recruitment. But here we are. Chelsea are also said to be interested. Brentford are determined to keep him to fewer climb away from the bottom three. It would take a bit of close to 100 million to prise him away in January. If you did that and won the league, who cares? But is it the best way of spending money? I think every interested party, which seems to be Arsenal and Chelsea primarily, every now and again, there's Man United, Spurs, probably wants to see how Ivan Toni resumes his Premier League career. And to be honest, staying at Brentford might be the best thing in terms of stability and showing that you can get in Gareth Southgate's squad for the Euros people. So that's that where Ivan Toni is concerned. Once again, apparently also actually very aware that they can't get Toni this window for under 100 million. That was said by Ben Jacobs. Now, I'm sure you would have seen today. The most exciting thing with Arsenal is that Emil Smithrow has been linked with West Ham. There was even rumours that talks happened, although the player himself and Arsenal are not really keen on letting that happen. Arsenal have not backed Premier League approaches for Emil Smithrow. Aston Villa, Newcastle and West Ham are among those who are interested in the 23-year-old England international this month, but Arsenal have told those interested they want him to stay at the Emirates Stadium. You could argue a loan would be great for him. Would he necessarily play at West Ham? It looks like Benrahma could leave. They've had a couple of injuries. Would he get week in, week out game time? Obviously, you learn under an experienced manager in David Moyes. I think Smithrow, if he did start, you know, with the Bowens of this world, Paqueta, all of those things, he would be a great addition for them. And obviously, he could get back in at least a conversation for the Euros. If Arsenal were to sell him and he's playing week in, week out and starring for West Ham, then it'd be amazing. I do think where Eddie Nketiah, Rhys Nelson, Emil Smithrow, Aaron Ramsdale are concerned, it could be the beginning of the end, potentially, in the summer, people. But it doesn't make sense, in my opinion, to let Smithrow go in any capacity if we cannot bring a central midfielder in. He's clearly a man held in somewhat high regards by other Premier League teams' interest in actually putting down bids for different things. But, you know, West Ham's a good club to play for. Newcastle have an exciting project. Aston Villa under Unai Emery's former manager. And there's probably a couple of other clubs. It wasn't in the summer. Allegedly, there was an indirect sort of approach from Chelsea. I'm not too sure in that regard. Nuno Tavares hasn't had the best of seasons at Nottingham Forest and isn't putting himself in the shop window. He could go back to France, allegedly, according to L'Equipe Marseille, considering a move to re-sign Nuno Tavares. The Portuguese left-back is not against a departure as he's only played three times for Nottingham Forest this season, which includes winning at Stamford Bridge but three games in January. It's not what you want to see. Arsenal and Benzema is a non-starter. It's not happening. We all knew that was the case. But there you have that. Apparently, he's making his current employers furious. Xavi Simmonds, who some reports say were the favourites to actually sign, will return to PSG this summer as there's no buy option in the live-set contract, people. Be keen to see what PSG do within me. I think he should be integrated into their team. If they are to sell him, he can play in midfield and play in a number of other roles, including out wide. Obviously, being in your early 20s, being a Dutch international, I'd be all for it, people. But it's going to cost a lot of money. Now, Seko Fofana, when he was playing at Lons, a lot of people, including myself, would have taken him. He's obviously gone to Saudi Arabia. Apparently, his club are open to allowing Fofana to leave on loan. The Saudi club wants to reinstate Davidov Spina, people, our former goalie, after his recovery from injury, and therefore have too many foreign players, people. And apparently, other clubs in Saudi are interested in taking him on loan. I mean, depending on the price of the loan, who would be against that? Apparently, Seko, Benjamin Seko, a player I would love at Arsenal in the front line, has a release clause active this summer for 43 million, which is cheaper than potentially Arsenal and what have you. De Ligt, who's been linked with Man United and Arsenal, apparently he's open to a move away as he's unwilling to be the number three or fourth choice at centre-back, people. Which, if he was to come to Arsenal, would you necessarily start ahead of Saliba? I don't know. Could Gabriel be the one to lose his place? I don't know. Chris Wheatley on Timber has said, yes, some really big news for Timber. I think Arsenal fans have been waiting to see him play, true. He's only played one game against Nottingham Forest and he's been out since. Now the signs are positive. He's doing light ball work in Dubai on Arsenal's winter training camp, which evidently is finished and we've got Crystal Palace tomorrow. Joran Timber, good news for him. Great to see him almost back. There's still a long road, but this is a big step and now he's doing light ball work and I'll tell you, we'll hope to have him back sooner rather than later. I think everyone will. For what it's worth, Dharmesh Sheff of Sky Sports has said Smithrow is focused on fighting for an Arsenal starting place and unless something miraculous happens, he's not expecting to leave people. Allegedly, the Guardian is saying we actually lie in our covering attack and Arteta is reluctant to let Smithrow go without a replacement coming in. Arsenal have previously resisted a previous attempt by West Ham to obtain Reece Nelson on loan. Onaner at Everton, his manager Sean Dice has said in terms of speculation surrounding his future, primarily linked with Arsenal, has this week been linked with Newcastle and Barcelona? It's just another story. Apparently Tini is looking for a way out of Arsenal in the summer. A lot of teams are interested in the which is good news for us. If he's not going to be a part of it, sell him and make money and move on. Don't know what Sossiedad's plans are, people, but it appears that he'll spend a year in Spain at them and keep it moving. Hatto is a player we've been linked to, but apparently negotiations for a new contract at Ajax have accelerated in recent days. It's expected to be signed after March the 7th. That's the day he turns 18 and it's obviously illegible to sign a contract for longer than three years. A striker has actually left Arsenal. Mika Berrafi returned to the club from a loan spell in Scotland at Motherwell, has actually gone to Austria and signed for Bundesliga side Stuttgart for the remainder of the season. We wish the 20-year-old the best possible start to his campaign and life to Australia. Currently, he has 15 appearances this season, which were obviously for Motherwell, six goals and five assists, people. In terms of Mikel Arteta, he's given his press conference, people. How long is it? We'll try and just focus on the main part. Smash the like button, folks. Obviously, on our injury list, he said we still have a few, unfortunately, on the list and we haven't managed to get back yet, but hopefully they are much closer and some of them are in a better place than we expected. Individually, I'm not going to tell you exactly how everybody is, but we're still missing a few. And in relation to the Crystal Palace game, you know, you'd imagine that Fabio Vieira is at least illegible to be on the bench. It's probably touch and go with Zinchenko's concern. And hopefully where he said better than expected, that is in relation to Timber and Partey, not expecting to see Timber any time soon, as stated. He then said if we are touch and go with a few, that's what I would say. Obviously, he's going to say the trip to Dubai was great and it was a good time and a break to get back to where we were and refocus, of course. On our opportunities in front of goals, we need to continue with who we are. Defeats cannot make you lose who you are, because if you do that, then you would never who you said you were. Again, I think Arsenal need to proofread these things. We have to continue to be ourselves and there are certain details and marginal gains that we have to improve and evolve. And the beautiful thing about my job is constantly find the evolution of a team and what it needs to keep winning. On the extent of confidence, that's a big factor. But if you don't produce the number of chances that we've created and to create more than any other team in the league, we're not going to score enough goals. But I love the players that I have, the way they work and the way they go about it and it will come. He then further went on to say yes in relation to Jesus, but that's for everyone. We have to share the goals. We are responsible for everything on set pieces. The goalkeeper is responsible, the striker is responsible. And when there are throw-ins, everyone is responsible. Whatever happens with that throw-in, we have to share that responsibility like we've always done. On links with a striker, he said no, because I love the players that we have, because we can't buy anyone. On his message to the players, keep doing what we're doing and the small margins to improve, that's it. Obviously, he was asked about if he will manage until he's 76. I think the days of Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson are probably long gone people. On whether he's got better at dealing with defeat, obviously no manager likes defeat. He's not going to say anything in a positive way about losing. He then said in relation to analysing our games, you have to look at it objectively. In order to do that, you need to dissect the game in many parts as much as you possibly can to understand what happened. And there's balance. In football, what you merit and what you actually have are not always at the same level, which is in relation to the West Ham game. And that's the Villa way. And that's been the case. But I think over the season where we are, there are things that we can improve on and do better. And those are marginal gains to be installed. They have to be installed in the last 10 days and we have to see them coming out. On our run of results, he said a lot of the times it's not what you have to do. It's just looking around and seeing how people behave. When I say that I love my job so much, it's because I love so much the people I have next to me that are with me every day. Okay, we had a difficult time and it's true we played in certain ways against big teams and we didn't win, but we know what we produced. They are a joy to work with and they give me every reason to be super positive for the second half of the season, people. And then on the psychological factors for our finishing, changing certain things, analysing first of all myself and the coaches and what we can do better. It's the most difficult thing to coach because it's so unpredictable. Times, distances, spaces and opponents. They change from picture to picture and change immediately after the ball has moved. We need to give them clarity and we have to take responsibility and we have to give them the tools to deliver the best possible way. That's what we have to do. They have it in them. They know that we have a lot of individual talks about it and it will come. And then he said, I don't want to give responsibility to the players. That's why I'm here. The responsibility at the end to win and to score three, four or five goals is there. The question we set is how do we score five goals every game? That's the question. Are we expected to change it tomorrow? It's not going to happen. So we have to make things happen. We have to be active and find solutions, people. On Emile Smith's role, he said, I'm really happy with Emile. He's on the right trajectory now. He's settled and he's training really well. You know that I'm not going to talk about any individual situation. No change. Emile is Emile. He's got incredible qualities. We're really happy to have him and what he needs now is chances. To all those desired qualities on the pitch, in order to do that, we have to give him minutes, you reckon? And I must admit, I know you can't keep every player happy. I know when everybody's in form, which was much of the case of last season, at a point this year, there's not going to be too much widespread opportunities. But when the form has been poor from everyone, especially the wingers and Smith Rowe made his name out wide for us on the left-hand side, could you play him? Would you not trust him? You know, and the man has to stay fit. There's times where maybe he could have got an opportunity in the eight, in the 10 or the left-hand side. On Timbery said there's a possibility, but at the moment he's still very, very far away from competing. That's the reality of it. I mean, the man suffered an ACL. We're hopeful we can, sorry, we're hopeful that he can have an impact at the end of the season. Some in the nose are saying, and even he'll be back even in February. If everything goes well and it looks like there's a chance that that might happen, but I think it's too early to make that call, which Arsenal have shown a reluctance, even when you look at William Saliba to just throw people back in, which I think is a good thing, people. Zinchenko is probably the last one that Arsenal fans want to see speaking, smash the like button in relation to the Crystal Palace game, where he could be a doubt. On one hand, I think we'll see Kyriot. On the other hand, I think there's a bit of gamesmanship from Arteta in keeping us in the dark over players being available. When things don't work for you, sometimes you just need to work even harder. This is the key, and this is what I believe. Every single time we don't have success or losing, we need to show the right reaction. We need to show our best performance because this league is so tough. It's going to be a tough game because this team are very strong defensively. We know we need to react well and right after the recent games. So I hope with our crowd and best performance of each player, we can have success. Then he also said, we're trying to help each other every single time, and that's what makes this team special because we feel like a family off the pitch and on the pitch. We're trying to improve ourselves. So yeah, big up the manager, big up Zinchenko. Let me know your thoughts on everything. Arteta, Zinchenko, if anyone has anything to say, what do you think of Cesco, Simmonds, Ivan Toni, Emil Smith-Rowe potentially departing? Do you think we should sell him? Do you think he should go on loan? Do you think he should get opportunities? Let me know your thoughts. And as usual, I appreciate you listening to this around 15 minute video.
