Purely Arsenal - Football Purists, An Afc Podcast

The Purely Arsenal podcast (@purelyarsenalFP) is brought to you with host Jack Sessions (@Jack10Gooner) and special guests James Johnstone (@LLcoolJames91). We’re back with a bang discussing all the latest in the summer window that hasn’t really got moving yet but our return is just the kick start that it needs. We do a deep dive into what our transfer strategy should be without European football. We then evaluate each position, from GK, to defenders and so on and discuss what we want the club to do and what we believe the club will end up doing. We discuss the strong links and imminent arrivals of Tavares, lokonga and ben white and what that might mean for other incomings/outgoings on the pitch. We end with a little bit on the euros and discuss how sir Bukayo Saka has a lovely ring to it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/purelyarsenal/message
