Kevin White's never going to get his flowers, man.
You know, he's never going to be the most talked about player at Arsenal.
He's never going to be the best defender in the league,
but I think he deserves a lot of applauded, if I'm completely honest with you.
But yeah, looking at the headlines and news and all these things,
Tab Police, look away now because we've got a fair amount to cover.
Keep your talking points, opinions and all these things coming, people.
If you're on YouTube, smash the like button.
Now, The Athletic have come out with an article talking about Mudrick.
Now, I'm subscribed to The Athletic for you guys, so we'll go into it.
But some soundbites initially.
Edu and Arteta were utterly convinced of Mudrick's talent.
When the deal did not materialise,
Arsenal's understanding was that the player was devastated.
Mudrick still has admirers at Arsenal who believe his talent can still be unlocked.
I've always said I still think Mudrick can get it right,
but I am enjoying this downfall because he signed for them lot.
Yeah, people.
So that's that with Mudrick.
Allegedly, when the deal did not materialise,
Arsenal's understanding was that the player was devastated.
Mudrick still has admirers at Arsenal
who believe his audacious talent can still be unlocked.
But as far as joining Arsenal goes, that ship appears to have sailed.
Now, I don't think they're going to let him go.
But in theory, we've been buying players from Chelsea.
Arteta wanted this guy.
Could we get a discount?
Could this be mind games for Mudrick to drive down his price tag?
But I don't know, people.
But he does fit the profile of you when you look at Pedro Neto,
obviously the man in question, and Rafinha.
Arteta seems to want a specific profile of Winger if they are to arrive.
Then again, if we sign a striker, Jesus, if it could play out there.
Apparently as well, people, in the case of Mudrick,
Arsenal were prepared to smash their transfer record in January 2023.
But matching Chelsea's 86 million offer, albeit with a different
payment schedule and add-ons on that shot to the next,
considered less realistic.
So it shows Arsenal are prepared to flex their muscles.
Should we skip to the bulk of what this means, people?
Arsenal turn their attention to Caicedo, their failure to agree
a January deal with Brighton and Old Valvian and the decision
to return their focus to their primary target, Declan Rice,
allow Chelsea to sign Caicedo in the summer.
Many Arsenal supporters were initially frustrated about losing both players
to a London rival, particularly in the case of Mudrick.
I was more vexed with Caicedo, because in hindsight,
I don't think him and Rice would have worked, but it would have been a good option.
That was a transfer saga that unfuelled over months,
with the player publicly expressing his admiration for Arsenal
and manager Mikel Arteta, having felt, oh, well, where is the bulk of stuff?
We know, long story short, we know we didn't get Mudrick and Caicedo.
We got Trossart and Jorginho.
Apparently, Brighton were none to impress with Arsenal's negotiation tactics
and talks over Caicedo, but Arsenal had successfully brokered a deal
for the Ecuador international, paying a further 105 million for Rice
would have been improbable.
There is an alternate reality in which Man City were granted a free run
at the former West Ham captain, with Rice in their ranks, the Premier League.
The Premier League might already be in possession, fair enough.
I'm just trying to find what's relevant to us people.
Here we go. It looks like we've got this.
So, yeah, right now we know we've got the better investment.
Arsenal's belief, sorry, but it would be too simplistic
to put this down to foresight on Arsenal's behalf.
They really wanted Mudrick and Caicedo.
In the case of the Ukraine forward, Arsenal were prepared to smash
their transfer record. We've seen that.
Edu and Arteta were utterly convinced of Mudrick's talent.
They believe he could provide them with a third flying winger
to complement Martinelli and Saka.
So if Chelsea really need to sell before June or January or something,
could this be something to revisit?
Probably not, but we're going to defo see headlines suggesting such.
And perhaps had he arrived at Arsenal,
we would be watching a very different player.
The step from Ukrainian football to the Premier League is steep,
but Arsenal had a clear plan for the winger.
They knew he would require patience and development.
Who knows how Mudrick might have fared in a more stable environment?
That is true.
Again, we know he didn't hide his preferred destination, people.
Apparently, he still has admirers at Arsenal, as we know.
Caicedo, we're at where we're at, really and truly.
We all know Mudrick is still young.
We all know Caicedo is too young.
Right now, it looks like Dodge Bullets, but a year from now,
this could all look completely different, people.
So that's all that.
Again, people, make sure, you know, I've been spamming you lot with content.
You know, again, big up Harry.
I did a video with Harry.
Which one's this? Big up Jay Ferguson.
We spoke here, people.
So again, when this stream is done, you can binge watch the content.
Big up Babs, because we had Babs yesterday.
I'm sure you wouldn't have been up to date with that.
And shout out Alex, aka The Different Knot, because I had him earlier today as well.
Big up all of them.
Make sure you're following all of them.
Apparently, Team News and Tix has said,
Arsenal's understanding that the player was devastated.
When someone calls you in tears as they are on the way to the airport,
in tears saying, saying, can't you do something?
I want to play for you.
I probably understand they were devastated, too.
And I mean, to be fair, where ITK's go, he does have a bit of a,
you know, a hit with that.
So if Mudrick was crying, he really didn't want to go Chelsea,
really, on top of an unstable environment.
The player don't want to be there.
But you're tough, right?
You're going to have to get on with it.
Allegedly, referee Joe Romano, where Ruben Neves is concerned,
said Arsenal asked his agent about a potential move,
but it was less advanced than Barca.
Arsenal decided to leave talks as it emerged that Partey would be staying.
So again, maybe we anticipated in the summer Partey would be going.
He then said in the end it didn't happen because Wolves only wanted to sell
for a fee in excess of 40 million, 40 million euros.
And the best proposal was from El Helal.
Now, you would have seen a couple of days ago,
Ruben Neves spoke about Barcelona and whatnot.
Once again, Mudrick was in tears on the phone to Arsenal,
asking them to do something as he was on his way to the airport
following his collapse transfer to Arsenal.
I mean, you could have said no, but it feels, it does feel that Mudrick
deal, like obviously signing for Chelsea, moving to the Prem,
signing in London is great, but it does feel like he was kind of bullied to do that.
It felt a bit Suge Knight-esque, you know, it kind of felt there was external forces
like, no, you're signing for Chelsea.
You know, like you ain't, something might happen to you if you just don't comply.
Allegedly, AFC Camden is saying Timber is now back in full training,
which again doesn't mean he's ready to play any time soon,
but it's a step in the right direction, which I'm here for.
We've been linked with Gael Queres again, people.
Apparently many European giants have already set aside a spot
for such people and the scouts going to watch him as well.
You'd imagine everybody's looking.
You know, AC Milan have been name dropped.
Arsenal have been name dropped.
Apparently Ivan Toni Osserman and Xerxe, as well as Victor, have been linked with us.
Apparently Chelsea have watched him at several times,
so he's got a lot of interest.
Sporting Lisbon are due to make some serious wonga.
Arsenal will move to sign a central forward this summer with Ivan Toni,
Victor Osserman, Joshua Xerxe and Victor Gael Queres,
among those the Gunners have looked at.
That's of the Daily Mail's Sami Motebel.
Apparently we're trying to manage Gabriel Jesus' workload
to avoid further injury flares, people, which is obviously music to our ears, people.
Oh, it's the same article.
So, yeah, Arsenal will manage Gabriel Jesus through the season finale
to avoid further flare ups of his persistent knee problems.
The Gunners striker hasn't played since January the 30th due to a knee issue,
though he was an unused substitute in Saturday's win over Newcastle.
And while Jesus is hopeful of making a playing return soon,
Mel Sport understands Arsenal medics are taking a cautious approach
to his workload to ensure the ongoing knee complaint doesn't worsen.
As you know, Jesus has suffered with fluid in the knee.
Sounds painful.
And it is a situation that needs attention in between games.
The Brazil international has been dogged by knee problems
since joining Arsenal ahead of last season.
Well, so then there's always been an ongoing thing.
Smash the like button and let me know your thoughts.
And those injury concerns are among the factors behind the club's move
to sign a new central forward this summer with Ivan Toni, Victor Osserman,
Joshua Xerxe and Victor Gael Queres, among those the Gunners have looked at.
Which one would you like, people?
Scrolling all the way down,
Arsenal also look to sign a new central midfielder with Martin Zubermandi
among the club's targets.
An out-and-out winger to supplement Sacra Martinelli would also be considered.
Meanwhile, Arsenal hope Tommy Assu and Zinchenko could both be available
for Monday's trip to Sheffield United after recovering from injuries,
while Thomas Partey, lul, is also nearing a full return from brain surgery,
having been back in training.
So when you couple that in with Timber, hopefully these guys get fit and stay fit.
But such is life.
The minute these guys come back, other guys are going to pick up knots.
Such is life, people.
Allegedly, Arsenal reported a £52.1m loss for the financial year of 2022-23.
While that is up from the £45.5m figure in the previous year,
the club put that down to impairment right down on certain player registrations,
which totaled £18.1m.
Arsenal say the loss before tax,
excluding the impact of exceptional items, amounted to £34m.
Having been £45.5m a year ago,
there was a significant rise in matchday revenue.
Obviously, we're playing all right as a club.
People want to be at the ground again.
You know, it's gone up to around £100m.
And that's beyond, in fact, that's beyond the £100m mark
for the first time in nearly a decade, because we're back in the Champs.
And as we said, they're people.
And obviously, you know, the women, rightly so,
are now starting to get games at the Emirates.
So these things help.
Broadcasting revenue rolls at the club as well, which again,
we're not finance people,
but the more money we get in and retain and invest significantly,
the better and healthier the club is in all aspects.
And hopefully a lot of that, at some point,
that money can filter towards transfers and all of those kind of things.
Arsenal urged to beat Man Utd, Chelsea to Serie A striker
who would fit in Arteta's team perfectly.
So this is in relation to Vlahovic people.
Some journalists have said,
here's a team in brackets, Arsenal.
How many goals have they scored? 25, 26 in six games in the Premier League.
But they didn't score in Porto.
Maybe it was a one off, but maybe that one player is missing
when Saka and Martinelli are off it.
That central forward, given the amount of goals they score,
you could not say is not needed.
But I don't know.
Vlahovic, to me, fits in the team before maybe Ivan Toni and Osman.
And we did try to get Vlahovic.
But one does wonder what Arsenal would have looked like
had we got Caicedo, Lissandro Martinez, Koundé, Raya initially,
Vlahovic, Rufino and Mudrik, players that we know we've tried to go after,
we haven't brought.
Some of it, it is money and some of it is age in those.
But I like what I see.
A left footed player that would fit nicely there.
Apparently, this season, Vlahovic has 15 goals in 23 appearances.
And at 24, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
And Arteta could probably craft him into something.
Once again, you know, Gabriel Jesus' knee injuries.
And on top of that, probably a lack of goals should see us go into the market.
You know, again, when it comes to Ivan Toni,
sometimes they're saying we're moving away from him.
Then we're going for him.
There's a lot of whispers, really.
Apparently, this article said Arsenal would love to sign Toni this summer.
And there are three other players they're also keeping tabs on.
Xerxe is a name that's aggressively being linked to us.
We all know Arsenal, and I've probably said his name about 20 times in the stream,
but Gael Queres, so that's that.
What have we got here?
Arsenal look to sign an out-and-out full winger, sorry, and a midfielder.
We have been linked with Zouba Mendy.
That would be lit.
But Barca and Bayern Munich also interested.
Bring him to the carpet, really and truly, man.
Apparently, what's this?
It was revealed how much Pepe cost the club.
He cost us significantly more than 100 million.
Well, yeah, because you bought him for big money.
You put him on big wages.
Had to pay him wages and had to pay him off.
And he weren't playing.
We didn't get a return.
We should have never.
It's a weird one because I don't think Pepe was a bad player,
but it just it just didn't happen.
It did feel when we won the FA Cup that there was going to be,
you know, light at the end of the tunnel.
But Mikel Arteta had other plans.
Apparently, Arsenal still want Modric and Fenerbahce are eyeing up Edi Nketi.
I don't think Edi's going to go to Turkey, but it is.
Well, it is.
Apparently, Arsenal reportedly planning a shock move for Chelsea
OK, there's plenty to cover.
So let's jump right in.
Well, what is there to say?
Arsenal, according to reports in Spain,
Arsenal are planning a shock move for Chelsea, Flop, Modric.
Boy, boy, I can't lie.
Calling him the most talented player in the world.
They did a number on Chelsea and it absolutely robbed them.
Where's this Edi Nketi and stuff, Thelma?
Let's see what's going on here.
Fenerbahce are keeping a close eye on Edi Nketi's situation at Arsenal
ahead of the summer transfer window.
He's been heavily linked with an exit and he finds it.
You know, there's been times where he's been the first name on the team sheet.
But right now you're behind Trossart, you're behind Jesus
and you're behind Kaya Havertz in the pecking order up front,
bringing another striker his peak.
And Edi Nketi is probably someone that we need to we need to sell.
He's been linked as a potential replacement for Edin Dzeko as well,
because he's going to leave in the summer.
So is this is there any real legitimacy from Fenerbahce to get a move done?
I don't know.
I reckon Edi's more likely to stay in the Premier League,
or if he was to go to another country.
I think it's more that the Spains and the Italy's and the France's
and things like that.
And it'd be interesting to see what happens with Edi,
because, as you know, Crystal Palace failed with a January offer for Nketi
with Arsenal rejecting the South London Club's proposal.
And they could rival Fenerbahce in the race to sign the English forward this summer.
Borussia Dortmund are also admirers of Nketi,
although it remains to be seen if they act on their interest.
That could be a good move.
Arsenal have big hopes for 21-year-old forward Mika Berth currently at Stuttgart
and selling Nketi in order to promote Berth into the first team next season
is deemed a very realistic possibility.
That's true.
I reckon Mika Berth is going to play his way into the shop window and then be sold.
But I'd love for him to be made.
I'd love for him to make it at Arsenal.
So, yeah, that's intriguing hearing that.
We've already gone over that.
Arsenal received brilliant Pedro Neto update Man United will hate.
Arsenal and Spurs are deemed more likely destinations than Man United
for Pedro Neto this summer, according to reports.
As you know, Neto, 23 years of age, doing well for Wolves,
been linked with City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Spurs, Chelsea
and a couple of teams from abroad.
He's got two goals and nine assists so far in the Premier League.
He has an asking price of 80 million, which I know there's Premier League tax,
but that's a madness.
According to Ben Jacobs,
he said, I think that Arsenal and Spurs are more likely destinations for Neto
at this point.
We know the Tottenham interest is historical and I would expect Arsenal
to consider Neto this summer as one of a few targets in that position.
He's going to cost too much.
You'd imagine we're significantly going to invest in a striker
and maybe a centre midfielder.
If there's a deal to be done with a winger for the right price
and it makes sense, I think we could get it done.
I think the Neto thing is a myth now, people.
They will be very sorry, people, but both of the North London clubs
will also be aware that Wolves, because he's still well, still well
contracted, will be looking for a club record sale.
Fair enough, he's a prized asset.
They will be firm on the price.
You can understand why in an inflated market where many attackers
and midfielders have gone for in excess of 70 million.
And when you look at the fees paid for Woodrick and Anthony,
Pedro Neto is quote unquote proven, rightly so.
Wolves are going to say, I know we know everybody's got money.
We're in a day and age where Bournemouth are going toe to toe with AC Milan
for players.
It's not necessarily what a player is worth.
It's what you can hustle, essentially.
That's why in January you're hearing 100 million for Ivan Toni.
It's absolutely crazy, really and truly.
Apparently, the agent of Fiorentina, wonderkid Michael Cagnondi has
confirmed that Arsenal and other Premier League clubs have been scouting
the right back.
Yes, Arsenal want him, but Fiorentina must not be worried.
There's a contract and Michael is happy in this club and in this team.
Obviously, several Premier League clubs have scouted him, but it's normal
and is a part of life and football.
Fiorentina tied him down with a nice contract and many bonuses.
So we want to do well for them.
So fair enough.
Man, he's a right back, can play right wing back as well as
right back, you know, a youth international of Italy, 19.
So he fits what we're doing and, you know, it's more depth at full back.
So why not?
We've gone over the Pepe stuff.
We've gone over that.
See, I try not to miss anything for you lot, people.
A few days ago, well, when we played Newcastle, Edu said, when asked
about our potential plans, and I've gone over this before, but I recognise
not everybody would have known, we now start to plan ahead for the summer
on recruitment and there are a lot of things happening.
I understand what the fans are asking for, but we already have
our targets. We have planned a lot ahead and I'd be worried if we don't
score a lot of goals and if we're not creating chances, which is the
opposite, because we create a lot and score a lot of goals.
The plan is to try to get better every year.
And I think we're in a good moment.
Let's see if we can keep improving, improving, improving.
Then he said, people, I think if you see the type of players
we have at the moment, it's players which have a big, big commitment
to the club, which is very important.
So the way we transmit to the fans, transmit to the people our commitment.
Sometimes you can lose, you can win games.
It's all part of sport, helps us perform the best way possible
and show the passion we have for the club and try to win as many games
as we can. Many times in certain conversations to recruit the players,
you don't see the character of the player or the character of the players
does not fit well with what we are trying to do.
And you have to move on and try to find what we're really looking for.
If you see all those signings we've made since we started together,
everyone is almost the same, young, energetic, passionate and good talents
with big, beautiful futures ahead of them.
Hopefully we can achieve something with them.
So moving through all of this, Pedro, from one Portuguese playing Pedro Neto
to Ruben Neves, what has been said here, people?
I don't think Neves is talking about his move from Wolves, people.
I don't think I left too soon.
I left at the right time.
A footballer's career is short.
Sometimes you have to put your feelings to one side to look after yourself
and your family.
The transfer wasn't as simple as the one to El Halal.
Wolves were in the English second division.
Everything was different.
And it was my first experience abroad.
A daughter was born that year.
It was a very big chance.
It went well.
I look back and I'm 200% sure it was the best decision I could have made.
And he's also, again, as we went over earlier, spoke about his failed move
to Barcelona and Arsenal.
I'm really on the Pepe thing today, innit, people?
Man United and Arsenal ready to make offers for 22-year-old midfielder
Old Nana is on the agenda again, people.
He's also been linked with Barcelona.
Allegedly Everton want 51 million.
I hear it.
He's 22.
You know, Premier League and that.
But is he more value for money than Azuba Mendy,
Denner, Douglas, Luiz or several others?
I don't know.
You lot let me know your thoughts.
I do like Old Nana, though.
Arsenal have announced their February men's player of the month
and the women's as well.
You've got Kai Havertz, Odegaard, Rice and Saka.
Who would I give it to?
I would say I'll give it to Kai Havertz
because you've exceeded my expectations.
I know the other three are great players.
I think Saka has been quality.
Declan Rice has been quality since the beginning of the season.
Odegaard has really found the purple patch and is a quality player.
But I expect them to kind of do that with Kai Havertz.
My expectations are significantly less.
So I'll give it to Kai Havertz.
Big game up, long may it continue.
Three of our Premier League games in April have been rearranged, people.
The month begins when we welcome Luton Town to North London.
And that match has been moved to Wednesday, April the 3rd with a 7.30 kickoff time.
It will be live on TNT Sports.
The following weekend, we head to Brighton.
Oh, Brighton away is a techie one, isn't it?
And while that match will remain on Saturday, April the 6th,
it now has a 5.30 kickoff to allow it to be beamed on
to the national live from the Amex Stadium by Sky Sports.
Exactly a week later will be an action against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium,
which will now also be at 5.30 start and shown by Sky Sports.
Oh, you're playing on my birthday.
However, if the villains reach the Europa Conference League quarterfinals,
that game will be moved to Sunday, April the 14th with a kickoff time to be determined.
Please, as much as I love Arsenal, I don't want it on my birthday.
Please, Aston Villa, I'm supporting you for 90 minutes.
Go through to the Conference League quarterfinals.
Emre, that's your bread and butter, European competition.
But now that I said that, boy, it is what it is.
Shall we see what else has been said?
Oh, Antonio Silva from Benfica links.
A lot of money to potentially pay for someone that isn't going to immediately
take Saliba or Gabriel spotting the team.
We went over this.
We have been linked with a backup goalie.
Jorginho's agent has spoken.
Wait, what? Gabriel Jesus?
Let's see what other rumours are here, people.
What's this?
Apparently, Gabriel Jesus has revealed he plans to join Brazilian side Palmeiras,
but not until he becomes a Champions League winner at Arsenal.
Fair enough.
When your career ends, you want to go back to where you started, people.
He said, Arsenal was a giant that was sleeping that woke up.
I love that.
I wasn't so aware before I arrived of how huge this club is.
I'm in love with Arsenal.
I'm more mature now.
I'm established and 100% focused on football.
I still have three dreams to win the World Cup, win the Champions League
and then the Libertadores with Palmeiras.
Hopefully, you can reach all of that, my guy.
Jorginho's agent has suggested that as many as five Serie A clubs
could sign Arsenal midfielder, including Lazio, Juventus and Napoli.
And that's where I think it'd be interesting with what happens with Jorginho.
I think Partey is going to leave.
Jorginho, you know, he's doing the coaching thing.
He's valued off the field.
He's got a nice little role
and he's accepting that he's a squad player and he's obviously got quality.
And I'm sure him and his wife or kids, they're happy in London.
But he's got a lot to consider.
Does he, you know, does he stay at Arsenal for one more year
and then leave next year?
You'd imagine there'll be no talk of an extension.
It will be taking out that option in his contract.
And maybe there's even a coaching gig for you at the end of it, people.
Maybe he goes back to even Brazil, where, you know, his adopted nation is Italy.
But maybe he goes back to Brazil.
Maybe he wants to return to Italy and the way of life that that provides.
Or maybe there'll be a big offer from Salgi.
I mean, you know, as an agent, you're always going to talk up your clients in it, really.
You're never going to say no, but he's not interested, really and truly.
Apparently his agent himself has said,
I could see him fitting in well at Lazio with Sarri or at Juventus
with the great director, but also at Napoli, Inter and AC Milan,
are two great clubs.
Roma has never been an option, fair enough.
So it'll be interesting to see what happens with him.
Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea interested in young Ajax star.
It's not Hatt-O, so I'm not really interested.
But apparently these three clubs are reportedly interested in signing
the young Ajax goalkeeper.
I mean, Man United have got two keepers.
They've got the Turkish lad and Onan, it don't make sense.
Chelsea, on paper, got Kepa, got Petrovic now.
And obviously I'm missing someone else out.
Sanchez, Arsenal, Ramsdale is probably going to cut.
So you could be that, really.
Apparently the 22-year-old has been shining for Ajax at this moment in time.
And his performances have caught the eye of several of the Premier League's
biggest clubs, people.
Just watching doesn't mean we're moving from naturally.
We probably anticipate Aaron Ramsdale is to depart.
So it makes sense.
So fair enough, really and truly.
We'll have to see what happens there.
Apparently Arsenal have been watching him from his Eintracht Frankfurt days.
Arsenal, Chelsea joined by Real Madrid in pursuit of 100 million star
trio scouting plans revealed.
Arsenal and Chelsea are keen on signing Benfica star Antonio Silva.
The 20-year-old is considered to be one of the best young players
in European football.
Got a lot to work on, but I like him a lot, really.
And truly, you never know, maybe Gabriel at the start of this season,
when his head was turned, he might have left.
Maybe that could have been an angle.
But it doesn't make sense.
Obviously, I would love three top quality defenders.
But if you're going to dislodge that defensive duo that we've got already,
I don't know.
And to be honest with you, you know, does it make sense?
Listen, if Arteta wants to do it, great.
I'm all for good players.
But does it make sense spending crazy money at centre-half or in midfield
or up front?
Like, where's the other regions that need significant investment?
I wouldn't say we're sorted in defence.
But and I hate to do this when everybody's fit thing,
because it's an illusion.
But when everybody's fit or even not, we're all right.
You know, Kyrgios finding his feet.
Zinchenko had some good and bad moments.
Timber when he's back, we know that's a hit.
Tomiasu is quality.
Benjamin White, Saliba, Gabriel.
We're cooking. Raya's there.
On paper, Ramsdell's there.
Our defensive unit's all right.
If we could bring in one more versatile defender, I'm all for that.
Midfield, I've only got 100% conviction in Declan Rice.
I think certain games is for Jorginho.
Partay, a quality player, but you never dare.
Got time for El Nene, but you need to move.
And then obviously you've got the Fabio Vieira, Smith-Rowes, Kai Havertz.
You know, they can play in the eights, but are they 100% convincing?
I don't know, people.
So I just think this is clickbait, if I'm completely honest with you.
But we'll have to see.
Once again, people, shameless.
You know, again, notifications, bell should be on because there's always
