Pete and Matt, Wednesday morning UK time. Morgan Rogers is a Chelsea player. The announcement video has already been roasted. And actually? The lads are fine.
Here’s what’s inside:
🔥 **Hottest of Takes** — Matt is suddenly very excited about Ethan Nwaneri. He’s been in the gym, he’s been in the England camp, and Matt makes the Myles Lewis-Skelly comparison that’s going to make a lot of people feel a lot better about the summer. Pete’s take is about Arsenal’s valuation discipline and why walking away from overpriced targets is actually the Man City playbook
😂 **Chelsea’s Announcement Video** — “Joined the biggest club in London.” Pete and Matt go through it frame by frame. It is not good. The Eze announcement comparison is not kind to anybody involved
💸 **Why Can’t Arsenal Sell?** — the Somerville to Al-Hilal story reopens a wound. Berta was brought in to move players as well as buy them. Pete asks where the Saudi numbers are for Arsenal’s fringe players. Matt tells the story of a mate who went to Saudi for electrical work and never looked back. It’s relevant
⚙️ **Zubimendi — World Cup Winner, Dark Horse For Next Season** — rested, recharged, point to prove. Pete makes the case that recency bias has done Zubi dirty and the version coming back this August is going to surprise people
🔜 **Members Bonus — Yan Diamonde** — a name linked to Arsenal gets the full treatment on Patreon. Members only
