I guess that's right, back Charlie.
People deluded, I'm back again.
Come on in, man, come on in.
People deluded, I'm back again.
Thank you very much for tuning in, Arsenal fans.
Hope everybody's well, everybody's doing well and safe.
Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe.
Your thoughts throughout everything discussed.
And appreciative to all my long-term viewers.
Now, I'm pretty sure like us, Arsenal fans alike,
you know, we're still trolling our Liverpool supporting friends.
You know, it's very rare that we get one over them,
but to have four points off them this season
and beat Manchester City is dreamland.
Obviously, hopefully that correlates with winning a trophy,
whether that happens, I'm very pessimistic.
I don't know.
That being said, you know, we know the transfer window is closed,
but that doesn't mean we're not going to hear Arsenal-related news.
So let's simply see what's going on in terms of the tabloids
and all of those things.
I don't know why it's not...
Okay, cool. I don't know why it wasn't letting me share my screen initially.
I thought there was technical difficulties.
But yeah, as I said, like, comment, subscribe,
turn on your notification bells.
Make sure you're checking out the rest of the other vids.
Ivan Toney's a man that probably will depart Brentford
and he's been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea primarily.
Little isms and schisms in relation to Man United.
We all know he's changed agents.
He's got 18 months left on his deal.
He's back from his ban.
And, you know, there isn't really to us normal football fans,
you know, a whole bunch of strikers you could look at
and while every striker carries a risk and go,
yeah, they will make our club better.
Ivan Toney does seem like he could do that for Arsenal.
And he seems like, quote unquote,
one of the more attainable players because he's made it clear
he wants to move on in any interview he does.
He's got 18 months left on his deal.
He's got a new agent.
And, you know, probably, you know, Brentford said,
you know, forget January.
We stood behind you with all of this ban stuff.
Help us stay in the Premier League
because Brentford are in a relegation battle,
unfortunately, because I like them.
And in the summer, whatever you want to do,
whatever you want to do.
Thomas Frank has said he's likely to be sold.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has confirmed
Ivan Toney will most likely be sold in the summer.
As you know, he's back playing from an eight-month betting ban.
And you can see with every game he's played so far,
the fans of the opposite team chart in such.
He is attracting interest from Arsenal and Chelsea,
much like Victor Rosserman.
The striker will have just one year left on his contract
at the end of the season.
And Frank has admitted he's likely to leave.
I still think all options are on the table.
Maybe he signs a new contract with a release clause.
I don't quite buy this, but in theory,
he could run down his deal at Brentford
and then become a free agent.
What's probably more likely is he departs the club.
And, you know, I don't know how much Ivan Toney is rated at.
Clearly, they priced him out of a move in January.
In the summer, I would rank him at about 50, 60,
all the way up to 80-odd million pounds.
They're going to make a handsome profit.
But he has got a year left on his deal
and clubs might not reckon this market value.
And they're probably going to rely on Ivan Toney
to do his part to angle for a move,
which Brentford's negotiating position is weak.
And he's got a year left.
The longer you mess around with selling him,
the longer it takes for you lot to bring in replacements.
And Brentford have shown they can do this thing
when it comes to strikers.
He's gone back there.
I'm sure he was there.
Benrahma's a winger, but he was sold.
You know, they've got Wieser and Ebremo.
Good scouting.
You know, got Ivan Toney from Peterborough.
It is what it is.
I'm Ivan Toney.
Premier League proven captain for Brentford.
So he's got that mentality.
I think he's got that positive chip on his shoulder.
And, you know, I like him a lot.
It wouldn't necessarily be my first choice.
I want the Ossermans and people like that.
But Ivan Toney, if we get him, I'm laughing, people.
Apparently, you know, Thomas Frank has admitted
he is likely to leave.
Brentford apparently received no approaches
for the striker during last month's transfer window,
but are expecting plenty of interest in the summer.
Now, there was a couple of movements
in the summer with some clubs.
You know, Spurs made a couple of signings.
But nine times out of ten,
when you was reading the reports in January,
you kept hearing clubs really, you know, FFP
and there's not value in the market and things.
And I think that said for everybody,
we knew Arsenal weren't going to move for a striker
because we were told we had no money.
And where Chelsea are concerned,
we was briefed by the Romanos and them people
that it wasn't going to be a thing there.
So, yeah, you know, for what's been publicised,
if there's no offers,
then there's nothing for Brentford to discuss.
Everybody's interested in everyone,
essentially, people.
So, yeah, they received no interest,
but are expecting plenty of interest in the summer.
And you look at it, Chelsea could go,
you know, Ivan Toney, there's logic there.
There's logic with Arsenal.
There's logic with Manchester United
signing a more experienced striker
to ease the burden on Huygens.
Spurs haven't exactly replaced Harry Kane.
And there's probably a couple of others.
He actually hasn't ruled out a move abroad,
but I don't think that will be the case for Ivan Toney.
A new striker is one of Arsenal's priorities this summer,
while Chelsea are also looking to bolster their forward line.
Thomas Frank has insisted Toney will not come cheap,
though, stressing the Bs know what he's worth.
It's quite obvious that Ivan Toney
will most likely be sold in the summer.
Apparently, he said to have told a Danish magazine.
It can be expensive to sell your best player.
But on the other hand, I also know by summer,
he'll only have a year left on his contract with us.
We also know what he's worth.
I don't think there are many strikers in the world
who are better than him right now.
And he's previously said, apart from Harry Kane,
Ivan Toney's up there, and Haaland.
He's a really good striker
who's in his prime footballing age.
Personally, as a coach, I'd prefer to keep Toney.
But one day, it could be fun to see him at a top club.
Let him come to Arsenal.
You know, we owe you 27 million for Raya,
so you know how we maneuver.
Might even throw Eddie Nketiah or something in there.
This winter, we actually had no bids for him,
but it would surprise me if there aren't a lot of clubs
interested in him.
So let me know your thoughts on Ivan Toney.
We've gone over Ivan Toney.
I don't know why I've got them reports there.
Zouba Mendy's a player that's been linked with Arsenal
for the best part of 18 months,
aggressively linked to January.
And as we move towards the summer,
being linked with a move to Arsenal
and aiding, you know, sorting out our midfield
and having that long-term partner for Declan Rice
or a long-term option in midfield.
Apparently, Romano has said,
Martin Zouba Mendy is on Arsenal, Barcelona,
and Bayern Munich's list for the summer.
At the moment, there's nothing more than this.
As Zouba Mendy only wants to focus on Real Sociedad
and he loves his club.
He is fully focused on La Liga and the Champions League
with no distraction at all.
It will take time.
There is nothing for February or March,
despite some talk that Arsenal have already been
laying the groundwork for this deal.
Well, Brentford announced the signing of,
you know, that Ghanaian lad, the winger.
I forgot his name.
So things can get tied up.
And he's got 60-odd million release clause.
Pay the money.
Let's get him done, people.
But now is not the time for negotiations,
maybe indirect conversations with agents and clubs,
but in terms of dotting the i's
and crossing the t's and paperwork,
seasons are going on.
And rightly so.
Zouba Mendy, probably,
well, you playing a football match
isn't necessarily going to distract you,
but it's a lot of noise.
You want to focus on whatever you're doing for Sociedad.
And they're still in the Champions League.
So yeah, people, we all know we need to bring in a midfielder.
You know, there's rumours.
There's always going to be rumours about Jorginho
leaving with his performance against Liverpool.
Maybe the club say, you know what, El Nene,
you can leave.
We want to shift your wages off the wage bill.
Jorginho will give you a one-year extension.
You bring in a Zouba Mendy and someone else,
we keep it moving.
Samoa, in my opinion,
if you can get it done for less,
and we don't know the profiles that Arsenal want,
but for me, you're looking at around,
as an honest football fan, normal football fan,
that's not a fly on the wall in London Coley
or whatever we've renamed our training ground.
Surely it's about 200-odd million quid.
I don't expect us to do everything.
For instance, you know, a striker could be anything
from 60 to 100-odd million,
depending on the target people.
And I would like to bring in a winger as well.
Pedro Neto would be good.
But maybe the club,
and Jesus' injuries are one thing,
but maybe the club say, you know what,
Jesus can play out wide.
We bring in a striker.
We don't really need to bring in a winger
and a striker.
But, you know, if it was up to me,
you get a winger,
that's about 60-odd million quid,
give or take.
Strikers all the way from, you know,
60 million to 100.
Central midfield, you activate Zouba Mendy's cost clause,
that's 60 million euros.
So that's 50-odd million quid.
If you could get a cut price,
another midfielder, that'd be good for me.
And I think we could do with another timber,
Tomi Asu, versatile attacker.
And then, obviously, we probably need to bring in
a number two goalie,
if and when Ramsdale is going to leave.
And then it's a case of outgoings, you know.
Speculation is going to, you know,
persist with the Reece Nelsons and Ketias,
Ramsdale, Smith-Rowe,
actually Jorginho, El Nene,
and plenty of other players
that I probably haven't even mentioned.
Whether we're able to sell them
or sell them for decent fees
is a completely other thing.
Big up Timba.
You know, he's making his return,
you know, to making his return bit by bit.
There have been some reports
he's set in the next few weeks
to join full training.
Some of you would have seen online
the 22-year-old now, you know,
summer edition,
has been named in our Champions League squad.
So there is some hope that maybe
he could play against Paul Owen
across the two legs.
Or if we go further in the competition,
do his thing, dare people.
I hear that.
You know, he's got a price tag
of £112 million on his head.
Allegedly, Chelsea are leading the race.
I think he goes to Chelsea,
but every day it's Chelsea leading the race,
then Arsenal, then this and that.
And the Napoli president has said
he will go to a top Premier League team
or a big club away from Italy.
And that's probably what it's going to take
to sign Osserman.
I mean, if the player convinces us,
Arsenal, to that, then obviously,
you know, we haven't got a bottomless pit of money.
But Arsenal have shown with Declan Rice
and even with Kai Havertz,
which is a different one,
that if they truly believe in a player,
they'll put the outlay, you know, really.
It's never great to go head-to-head
with Chelsea on a signing,
and that makes me feel like Arsenal
might end up coming away from it.
If he signs for Chelsea,
then I hope he ends up like Osserman currently is
and Lavia and Caicedo
and Enzo Fernandes in struggling.
No offence, Chelsea fans,
the game is the game.
There are other players out there
that I think could fit the bill.
Even though Ivan Toni, though,
is being played down to me,
people say inside the club
that Toni's not on the radar.
That's in relation to Chelsea.
We'll have to wait and see about that
because I have heard otherwise,
but certainly Arsenal are going to be in the market
for a player of that level.
Again, Ivan Toni,
he might be, you know what,
you're angling for a move,
let's just go for you.
But I think Chelsea and Arsenal
and all these clubs,
they'll go for the Ossermans
and people of that ilk.
Then if they can't get that,
they'll look at the,
maybe Ivan Ferguson is going to cost
a lot of money from Brighton,
the Cescos, the Ivan Tonis,
maybe even Vladovic with what's going on at Juventus.
I'm not sure, people,
so make of that what you will, people.
We've already covered that.
So yeah, apparently Arsenal are entering the race
for Everton star Onana
after Newcastle are moving through.
We've heard that before.
He's another midfielder that
if it's not Douglas Luiz or Zouba Mendy,
he fires his name into it.
I'm a big fan of RB Live,
six Benjamins, Cesco,
nine goals from 26 games.
And I think he's struggling.
AC Milan apparently have offered 40 million euros.
Chelsea apparently are monitoring
developments, people.
So that's why this article is there.
And you know,
there's every logic with Chelsea
buying a development striker like Cesco
and a ready-made guy like Osserman.
You sell Broglie, obviously,
and Konkwy can play up front
as well as other areas.
But I think Benjamin Cesco is one
I'll be watching closely.
Again, in relation to Joshua Xerxe,
it seems like Manchester United
are the frontrunners,
although AC Milan and a return to Bayern Munich
haven't been ruled out.
He's a player we was linked with in January.
Marquinhos hasn't technically
departed on loan yet, people.
Again, apparently,
he could be going to Fluminense.
Hopefully, he does well
and can get sold for a profit,
essentially, people.
Again, as I said, conflicting reports
because this article says
Arsenal are now thought to be leading
the race to sign Victor Osserman
in the summer,
ahead of Man United and Chelsea,
according to a report from Spain.
Now, I know our manager's Spanish,
but a report coming out of Spain
talking about a Nigerian international
who plays in Italy
and the transfer movements of a British club.
Football is universal
and it doesn't matter where the info comes from,
but is it credible?
I'm not sure, people.
Of course, with no official offers
having been submitted as of yet,
nothing is finalised.
Arsenal's need for a new central forward
is becoming more and more prominent
as Arteta begins to lose confidence
in Eddie Nketiah
and Jesus' injury record becomes very spotty.
Again, yeah, it's quite misleading.
Tomiasu's set to sign a new deal,
as we already know,
so it all depends where you read.
Again, Partey has been linked
with a departure this summer.
Apparently, Arsenal are keen
to offload him in the summer
after persistent injuries this season.
Much has been the theme for him.
Chiesa could leave Juventus this summer,
you know, if he doesn't sign a new deal.
I know he's someone keeping up
the theme with injuries,
but he's a player that Arsene Wenger
tried to sign from Fiorentina,
and he can play as a false nine
as well as Ivor Flank,
and he's a bloody good footballer.
So, there's no real need for me
to mention this,
but I'm having him if it's going, really.
Tomiasu apparently has agreed
a new contract with Arsenal,
and naturally, he's set for a major increase
on his £55,000-a-week salary, people,
which is well-deserved.
Cozy Drewbury still hasn't signed
a new deal for Arsenal.
Romano says we're still in negotiations,
and he has interest from Dortmund,
Ajax, Anderlecht, Wolves, and Newcastle
in case he leaves on a free transfer,
which is crazy, and, you know,
he'd be a gem for either one of them.
We all know that Jorginho has
a one-year extension clause in his deal,
but Romano has said the option
to extend Jorginho's contract
for one more year is still valid,
and it will be available until the end
of the season for Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta is really happy
with his performances,
and I feel how he is off the field
and how he is in and around
the rest of the lads and the experience
and transferable experience he can...
and lessons in football he can give
to his younger teammates.
Timba, as I said, has been included
amongst Arsenal's squad for the knockout stages,
and he's set to rejoin training
allegedly in the coming weeks.
Again, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
And indirectly, Mikel Arteta
is still consistently linked
with Barcelona, people.
So that's everything.
You know, let me know your thoughts
on Osserman and Ivan Toni,
on, you know, everything really and truly.
Which one would you prefer?
Would you go for Chiesa?
Do you think Mikel Arteta should get a new deal?
Or would you let him go to Barcelona
and everything Arsenal?
Check out the rest of the videos, people.
At this point, I'm sure I would have done
Afcon watch-alongs or been in the process
of doing such.
I did an Arsenal fan show.
Shout-out to Sami and Tariq as well
because we spoke about Jesus' injuries,
parties, if we're in a title challenge,
et cetera, et cetera.
And if you're paying attention to this video,
shout-out my people that are working,
but just listening to my voice.
