Arsecast Extra Episode 704 - 21.07.2026

Description

In this episode James is back in London after his spell in Chicago, and we begin by talking about the World Cup final in which Spain beat Argentina and pretty much everyone outside of Argentina was happy about that. We have some reflections on the tournament as a whole, before we discuss the Morgan Rogers news and his decision to join Chelsea when he was strongly tipped to join Arsenal this summer. We chat about how it played out, whether the price paid is too high, and if we need to be more flexible in a summer market where prices have been skewed massively by some high profile deals. We wonder how Mikel Arteta will react to not getting a key target, how the club might pivot to other options now that this deal is done, and talk about slight developments in the Bruno Guimaraes pursuit. In part two we answer listener questions about Myles Lewis-Skelly, whether our negotiating style is an impediment to being able to sell well, Ferran Torres, and lots more – including James' deep dish pizza update.🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!
