Every club. Every day. The Global Sports Podcast Network.
Introduction and Guest Lineup
00:00:09
Speaker
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Daily Arsenal podcast, brought to you as part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. It's Wild Card Wednesday, and today on the Daily Arsenal podcast, we are bringing you something very special. It is the Arsenal draft game, and I am joined not by one, two, three, or even four.
00:00:28
Speaker
There are five guests here on the Daily Arsenal podcast. It is a full house. So joining me, Josh Vintz, are Craig Matthews, Joshua Duncan, Matt, Jamie Patterson, and Rodney Gooden.
00:00:40
Speaker
Gentlemen, it's crazy to see you all here. Hopefully everybody's internet connection lasts so we don't have to restart this five times. But I believe in us. I think we can do this.
Arsenal Draft Game Rules
00:00:51
Speaker
Now, for those who don't necessarily know what a draft is, it's very simple. We have taken every Arsenal player who has played for the squad in the last 10 years and put them in a list.
00:01:02
Speaker
We are going to, everybody on the pod has picked a random number between one and 50. In a minute, I will do a random number generator. Whoever is closest will go first.
00:01:14
Speaker
and they will pick a player they want in their squad. And the game is to make the best possible team. So I would normally do hellos and everything, but this is going to take some time. So we're going crack right on boys. So everybody has picked their numbers.
Draft Begins: First Picks and Mistakes
00:01:29
Speaker
I've gone 13. Josh Duncan has 29. Jamie has 28. Craig has 10. Rodney has 24.
00:01:33
Speaker
Matt has 19. The random number is 36.
00:01:37
Speaker
the random number is thirty six Nowhere near any of us, but that means Josh Duncan gets first choice. yeah but Now, for those, we will be going basically in that as I see my screen in a clockwise direction. So it might seem incredibly random to you listeners at home, but we'll stick to a pattern. So Josh, who is the first Arsenal player you would like to pick?
00:02:07
Speaker
Ooh, damn spoilt for choice now. Like a kid in the cat. I didn't think to go first. ah Well, there's only one name I have to really pick, really, in Arsenal legend. That's Thierry Henry.
00:02:19
Speaker
No brainer, I've got to pick him. Unfortunately, he's not in the last 10 years, Josh. yeah Have you by any chance got the list in front of you that I sent out earlier?
00:02:34
Speaker
10 years for me. You know what I mean? It's 10 years for me. oh nothing yet What an ace way to start. All right, I've got to Saka then. I've got to go Saka. Okay, I mean, he would have been very high on everybody's list, but Bukayo Saka jumped straight into Joshua Duncan's list.
00:02:54
Speaker
Now, going clockwise, I mean, people are going to claim that it's favouritism, but it's me next. Oh, yeah, yeah. Absolute favouritism, yeah. I am going to pick a player who I adore.
00:03:08
Speaker
I'm sorry, Jamie. I know you wanted him, but Santi Cazorla is coming straight into my squad. No! Santi Cazorla is in there for me. Jamie, you are next. What is your first pick? Now I've nicked your favourite.
00:03:23
Speaker
oh That is difficult. I am going to go for... Oh, my gosh. The o sport for choice here.
00:03:35
Speaker
you know what? I am going to go for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Oh, come on! Yes! Come on! Let's go!
00:03:47
Speaker
Oh, Rodney, the rage in your voice was so real. upset. And do you know what's the worst thing as well, Rodney? You're next. Oh, my gosh.
00:03:59
Speaker
Right, Rodney, who's your pick? Who isn't Pierre-Embric Albabiak? Oh, I can't believe it. I was devastated. um ah the nosakka No Saka, no Albabiak. You know more you know um I'm going to have to go for I'm going to be controlling the midfield. right I'm picking Martino.
00:04:16
Speaker
There we go. That's it. you pay Odegaard. Yeah, yeah. Damn it. Let me just get out of the way. Let me just get out of Okay. still got good picks left. still got good picks left. Yeah, and yeah, There's some good picks. Yeah, man. You just throw out the creativity and then we'll go later. It's fine. I've sorted mine out with Santi. I'm happy. Matt, you are next with your first pick. Who would you like?
00:04:40
Speaker
See, I'm torn between Akpom, Charlie Gilmore. yeah
00:04:48
Speaker
Yeah, there are some interesting players on this list, guys. but they might come in clutch later on. You never know. So who would you like, Matt? You guys have thought about the upfront side of things, but I'm following Arteta's logic.
00:05:02
Speaker
One of my favourite Arsenal players, if not my favourite, Gabriel Magalhaes, he's in. Gabriel Magalhaes. You bugger. i He was my next choice. It's a good shout. It's a good shout. Gabriel goes into Matt's squad. Now then, Craig.
Mid-Draft Recap and Strategies
00:05:18
Speaker
Craig, you're the last, but it's your first pick. Who would you like? Alexis Sanchez. If him and Obama had played together. Ooh! Alexis Sanchez! That would have been a problem. I'm telling you, them two had played together for three goals.
00:05:33
Speaker
Absolutely. Craig is coming to play. So the first six players who have been picked, Santi Cazorla, Bakayo Sacco, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexis Sanchez, Gabriel Magalhães and Martin Odegaard. Some strong choices.
00:05:46
Speaker
We're back to you, Josh. Who would you like? oh well i know I could go defensively. No one has picked keeper yet.
00:05:58
Speaker
No one has picked a keeper yet. No one has yet. And you've got to think you don't want to be left with Runnison at the end. I'm looking at this list. It's a hard one.
00:06:10
Speaker
It's a hard one. I'm going be smart. And no one's picked him yet. going pick Raya. ah David Rea? You're picking David Rea? Of all people? I'm picking Rea. Josh Duncan there with David Rea. It is my choice now.
00:06:23
Speaker
And do you know what? I am... Oh, God, it is tough. But I think I'm going to have to go for a forward player. And people might laugh, but I think i think he was quality.
00:06:37
Speaker
I'm picking Olivier Giroud. Oh, damn it, man. I didn't think were going to pick him. Come on! That's what I'm talking about. Right, Jamie, you're next.
00:06:48
Speaker
would you like now? I'm going to go smart here. I'm going to go Martinez. No!
00:06:55
Speaker
I like that me and Rodney are on the same wavelength here. I like that we're on the same wavelength here. There is going to be a scrap soon. This is virtual, but Rodney is going to reach through the screen and throttle you in minute.
00:07:09
Speaker
like Annoyingly, he was my next as well. but i had I had to let it safe here. I need a good goalkeeper. But yeah, Emi Martinez, welcome to the squad. Emi Martinez it is. ah Right, Rodney, come on then, mate. You've been scuppered twice. i've got to. Who's left?
00:07:29
Speaker
like oh no I've got to think keeper wise. dear. You know what? ah I might have to just, no, let me focus on the back line. Actually. You know what? I'll come back to keepers.
00:07:44
Speaker
Give me William Saliba. William Saliba. That is a solid shout. verycycl yeah i I thought he might last a little bit longer. William Saliba. I thought people might like hedge their bets with him, but that's good to get him out of the way. All right, Matt, you're up next.
00:07:58
Speaker
My logic nearly was going to be like, you know what? You can have your keepers. You can have your fun, but I'm going to have Arsenal-Cenneback partnership. But that quickly went out the window.
00:08:09
Speaker
know what? You fifty boys have what you want. Declan Rice is coming in. and Oh, that was not going to kick you. I still got people, though. It's okay. so yeah have You got people. Right. Declan Rice in for Matt in the midfield. Very good choice there. ah Craig, you're up, my man.
00:08:25
Speaker
What are thinking? right I'm going to right back. Oh, no yeah, it's a tough position, that one. It's between Maitland-Niles and Timworth.
00:08:39
Speaker
Okay. Okay. ah but I think if you're picking it, Maitland-Niles is great for you, Craig. It's a big one.
00:08:51
Speaker
ah three But I think because he had a good... Before that run of getting to the FA Cup final, winning f FA Cup, he had a good run in the team. So going to pick Maitland-Niles. Oh, okay.
00:09:01
Speaker
Fantastic. like it Fair enough, fair enough. Maitland-Niles in Ryback for Craig. Fantastic. Okay, then. Josh, we're back with you, my good friend. Who would you like?
00:09:13
Speaker
I haven't got the defensive player yet. And before he gets taken, I'm going to pick him. And that's Ben White. ma i i naturally went next one you oh I can't hate you because you've got a good name, but goddammit, Josh. been know That's really thrown a spanner in the works for me there.
00:09:32
Speaker
Okay, i in that case, I think I'm going to have to... I need to do some defensive work. I am going to pick because I think it's going to upset Jamie. Hector. No,
00:09:47
Speaker
no, not Hector. balllarin I'll take Uri and Timber. No. I won't change my mind. I'll stick with, I'll stick with better. I'll stick with better.
00:09:58
Speaker
Damn it. yeah Jamie pick Timber. Jamie, you're upset.
00:10:06
Speaker
jaie you're upset um Oh gosh, we're all going defensive here. So for me, i will probably go for... Oh, oh that's tough. on There's two names I'm tinkering with at the minute. Mm-hmm.
00:10:24
Speaker
Nah, I've got to go with my heart. I've got to go for my boy, Kieran Tierney. I've got to go KT. I'll go KT. I don't think you'll hear any complaints from the rest of us for that one.
00:10:35
Speaker
You are welcome to him. I mean, we all like him, but we won't be sad that he's lost. ah Rodney, I don't think your choice has been next this time. Wonderful. Right. So again, you know the score. Filling it right back. Give me my boy, Yuri and Timber.
00:10:51
Speaker
Take him off the list. Come on now. I Right, right okay, he's all yours. Matt, who would you like? What position we thinking?
00:11:03
Speaker
We've got the core building up quite nicely, but if you boys want to leave one of my favourite creative players in Mesut Ozil out, then that's completely fine. No! No! No! no no Mesut Ozil is gone. That is a big player as well. it was i was genuinely between him and Santi for my first pick, but Santi just wins over. Yeah. well yeah I mean, you know, he was a good player. Now, Craig, pick number three, four, whichever, three, who would you like?
00:11:36
Speaker
It's been midfield, I think, Riziski or Aaron Ramsey in the cup final goals. Aaron Ramsey was in the cup finals, got two finals in a row, scored winners.
00:11:48
Speaker
Chelsea once, I think Paul was the one before that as well. um
00:11:54
Speaker
I don't know, man. But like the goal that Rzitzki scored against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. That's Screamer, 2014. Yeah. So I'm going to have to pick Rzitzki for that one. Oh, a little Mozart. Fine. Yep, you can have Rzitzki.
00:12:09
Speaker
Okay. that's It's whatever. I don't care. I'm not upset. Josh, who would you like, my friend? ah i haven't got striker in yet, but i think no one's going to pick him.
00:12:22
Speaker
So want to go midfielder. haven't got midfielder in properly yet. I want to go Jack Walshaw. Damn it! No! you don't No! No! Oh, this is getting painful now. lost draw a Him and... with his head Him and Santi was my dream in field. I thought he'd last a bit longer.
00:12:42
Speaker
Oh, you've thrown the right spanner in. Oh, right. Okay. I've gone... ah i I think I'm going to go defensive because there's not many of them left.
00:12:57
Speaker
Or ones that you'd want in your team anyway. I think I'm going to have to go left back. And I'm actually going to go... Nacho Monreal.
00:13:08
Speaker
Really? yeah Nacho Monreal. Yeah, I mean, look, weve we we spoke about him last week. I mean, we spoke about last week in the pod. I mean, yeah, makes sense. It was a toss-up between him and MLS, and I think he just just gets it for me. You can't say names. You're giving people ideas. Jamie, you're not allowed to pick MLS. Would you like? Um...
00:13:33
Speaker
um you know what? For me, I've got to go. You know what? i had' one I've got him on the back of my 2011 shirt. I've got to go. Of course, it's the man himself, Mikel Arteta. Oh, fair.
00:13:52
Speaker
Josh is not bothered about our manager there. You can have him. He's not interested. Rodney, your fourth pick for us, please. Fair enough. oh see This is the question. it's like Do I keep focusing on the defensive line or do I keep building up that midfield?
00:14:05
Speaker
ah You know what? I haven't chosen a striker yet, so going to get that out of way. um Give me... You know what? If he's in form and he stays fit, I'll take it. Give me Gabby Jesus.
00:14:19
Speaker
Gabby Jesus! I'll take it. Imagine it's peak Jesus. we are We're basically assuming that all these players are in peak. That all these players are at their peak level.
00:14:32
Speaker
Matt, thinking of that, everybody in their peak level, who would you like? I mean, no one said Theo yet, I think. No one said Theo yet. He's my next one. He's literally next for me as well.
00:14:48
Speaker
oh tell daughter i like ah would take him please I was assuming in that case you'd quite like Theo Walcott, would you Matt? That's fine, whatever. I don't care, I never wanted him anyway. okay fred Craig, the last pick before we take a little break, Craig, who would you like?
00:15:06
Speaker
Gnabry. Damn it! Gnabry! That's what he was on the list. yeah um I remember watching him im watching him when he scored his first goal against Swansea 2013-14 season.
00:15:20
Speaker
thought this guy was level, but I never got opportunity to get more minutes in the team. So, yeah all right All right. that's a big chunk of the play is gone. We've each picked four. We're going to hear a little message from our partners at Bionic. And when we come back, we'll each do another four. We'll be back just after this message. Your body is unique.

Drafting Resumes: Tactical Picks and Surprises
00:16:15
Speaker
Arsenal podcast. We are playing the ultimate Arsenal draft from the last 10 seasons. We've each picked four players and there's been already a lot of anger, specifically from Rodney, aimed at Jamie Patterson.
00:16:26
Speaker
but Now, Josh, you're starting us off again. You've got David Ryer, Ben White, Jack Wilshere and Bakayosaka. It's a good sign. Who do you like next? ah No one's said his name yet, so think I can still go round him again.
00:16:42
Speaker
But defensively, who who's been taking defensively? Sorry, sorry. So defensively, we've had Ben White, Maitland-Niles, Gabriel, Timber, Saliba, Tierney, Monreal and Bellerin.
00:16:57
Speaker
So to answer your question, Nuno Tavares is still available. I've got two names. I've got two names. even want to do.
00:17:08
Speaker
I'm going to go Califori. Califori! Good choice. Very, very good choice there. Califori there for Josh Duncan. It is now my choice, and while we were in that break, was thinking, we're talking about players in their prime, so there's a very clear and obvious one for me.
00:17:22
Speaker
I'm having Petr Cech. Oh! You need to keep up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jamie Patterson, number five, please.
00:17:34
Speaker
um Oh, gosh. Right. Um...
00:17:40
Speaker
Do you know what? I will take...
00:17:47
Speaker
um I'm to take Tomiyasu. so me Take him. Take him. I'm going to take Tommy mean, if he's fit, like... face spin if we're talking If we're talking form, if we're talking Tommy Asu and his form, can we... Oh, my gosh. Yes. yeah In form?
00:18:05
Speaker
Brilliant shout. Fantastic shout. Yeah. Rodney, number five. oh Okay, it's about defensively or do I go for a keeper?
00:18:16
Speaker
Remind me again, Josh. So, defenders, we still got MLS is still there? MLS is still there. am I was going to take him. Yeah, MLS is yours, Rodney. ever reveal was Excellent shout. up Matt, number five, please.
00:18:32
Speaker
I'm really torn between two players. One, because, hey, if we're playing a tactical game on recency bias, one name's going to be in there. And then ah just, people people people like seeing that name. and You know what?
00:18:45
Speaker
Just for vibes alone, this squad just looks like a lot of fun when Ares coming in. Waniere! Waniere coming in! That's Waniere and Wolcott!
00:19:00
Speaker
I love duo! Craig, who would you like for your fifth pick? yeah ah craig who would you like for your fifth pick Well, I need a goalkeeper. haven't had a goalkeeper yet.
00:19:11
Speaker
So, I know he left off this summer. Go on. I'm going to pick Aaron Ramsdale. Because of the way does and the way matches. Aaron Ramsdale. Yeah, good shout.
00:19:22
Speaker
That's a solid shout. And you've made Josh's day because he is punching the air in excitement. Josh, who's not been picked for you? I need a striker and none of you have picked him. I don't know why you've not picked him.
00:19:33
Speaker
I'm going Lacazette. Lacazette. Alexander Lacazette. Excellent shout. Well, I'm actually going to go also in the forward positions. Give me... Which one should I have?
00:19:46
Speaker
I'm thinking about a rogue one, which I think would make all of you laugh, but I loved him as a player. so Give me Lukas Podolsky. oh but I was going to take him if no one picked him. That left foot, I'll have that all day long. Of course.
00:20:06
Speaker
Now then, Mr. Patterson. Who would you like? ah um Right, hold on a minute, because now i need to have a look at who I... Do you need any updates? I can give them all.
00:20:18
Speaker
um I believe I need centre-backs, and I need a centre-mid, cam, and a left and basically another striker. There's plenty of all of those. Yeah, ah yeah just just short limit, just very limited.
00:20:32
Speaker
um i will go for Oh, heavens. Come and marry. i um Look, Socrates hasn't been picked yet and i know he's on people's lists. You know what? I was actually going to take Socrates, actually.
00:20:53
Speaker
Damn. Okay. okay I'll take Socrates. i feel like... and look out of the Look, back then when we had... ah Who was it? It was Socrates and David Elise. Yeah, I'm taking him.
00:21:10
Speaker
That's absolutely fine. You're welcome to him. Rodney, row number six. ah Let me think. You know what? I need... I still need a keeper, but at the same time, my midfield is looking quite light.
00:21:23
Speaker
So you know what? I might go left side eight. gimme Give me Granit. No! No! Granit, I'm in Switzerland right now. Yeah, yeah. Give me Granit Xhaka. Oh, you little... Oh! is my next pick.
00:21:39
Speaker
Right, fine. You can have Granit. I didn't want him anyway. but suck but we There's too many people on this call. yeah ah Matt, choice number six.
00:21:55
Speaker
Who would you like in your squad? Rodney said he needs a keeper. I think I do too. So um I'm looking at the list of goalkeepers and it's not looking very healthy. It's not at the moment.
00:22:06
Speaker
I think if I look at the keepers, know, left out of Jack Porter, which I think is pretty harsh. You know, he could easily be right up there. He could have been, but yeah. I think and if we're talking primes, I mean, I've got the biggest fan who's ball playing or whatever, but I don't really think there's another option past Leno. So I think if I take him now, but well I Very, very good shout, that one. Not bad. And Craig waving him away as it comes up to Craig's choice.
00:22:36
Speaker
Who would you like, Craig? I don't know if would have picked him. The Arby's. No one's picked Diaby yet. I was going to pick him, but I was hoping that no one get round to it. say Same here. Abu Diaby is in your midfield. That is a great shout, that one.
00:22:52
Speaker
That's really solid. ah Josh Duncan, we find ourselves back with you, sir, for choice number seven. We're flying through this at the moment. Right. You have to remind me, who who would I have now? Okay, you've got Raya, Ben White, Calafiori, Wilshere, Saka, and Lacazette.
00:23:07
Speaker
So you could do with some centre-backs and a couple of midfielders some wide players.
00:23:13
Speaker
I want to go Kishani. Kishani. Very good. And you've got me panicking because I've not picked any central defensive plays yet. And now it's looking concerning.
00:23:24
Speaker
So I'm going to have to amend that. And I think, oh, God, I really. you know what? I'm basically making the Wenger team that didn't win anything. I'm going to take Per Mertesacker.
00:23:38
Speaker
Take him as well! And that's a sack of you beauty. Come to me. Too many on the court. When you look at the said defenders now, it's starting to get into territory a little bit. Bleak territory. That's what it is. yeah Jamie, thankfully you've got three defenders, so you're pretty set. And it's your pick now. Who would you like? right um Hold on.
00:24:05
Speaker
I'm just having to quickly look back. Would you like an update on your current team? Yeah, go for it. you've got Emi Martinez, Tomi Asu, Sokratis, Tierney, Arteta and Aubameyang.
00:24:17
Speaker
Right. um i'm
00:24:23
Speaker
um I will go for... I've
00:24:29
Speaker
got to go Martinelli. Damn it, Damn it. Why did you do that with my next pick? Yes. Come on.
00:24:40
Speaker
No one mentioned him. I'm taking him now. thought it's too late. Come on. Oh, God. that are my you all day This is such a hard game. Like, you've got to play bluff with it, haven't you?
00:24:51
Speaker
oh Right, Rodney. Rodney, you're up, my man. Yeah. oh Come No, it's a good shout. It's a good shout. um You know what? I'm actually thinking, let me get the keeper in now because I said otherwise I'm going forget it.
00:25:05
Speaker
So I'm going to go for Schnezny. Golden glove season, Schnezny. Boyzio Schnezny. you be Give it now. Outstanding shout. And I'm really glad you did that because you've wasted the pick because everyone else has picked a goalkeeper.
00:25:17
Speaker
So you could have had choice of goalkeepers at the end. Yeah.
00:25:23
Speaker
Oh, no. So thank you for that, Craig. You're i think you're a star. Thank you, Rodney. Right, Matt.
Final Picks and Draft Conclusion
00:25:30
Speaker
Pick number seven. I'm fuming because I've done the same thing, right? For some reason, I didn't see Chesney's name on the list.
00:25:36
Speaker
So I even saw Ospina, Macy, Leno, Runnison, Cole Heine and Okonkwo. What a great selection there. you I would not have taken Leno if I remembered Chesney. I was surprised.
00:25:52
Speaker
I was surprised when he took him. But I didn't want to say anything. Well, okay. and well okay right We're talking primes, right? Now, hear me out here. We're talking primes, yeah. yeah I really like this player and I genuinely really liked him at Arsenal lot of the time as well.
00:26:05
Speaker
Vasilian Senabac partnership, Gabriel alongside David Luiz. I love that guy. know what's really weird, Matt? As soon as you said in his prime, I clicked on David Luiz's name, expecting to drag it over. I just knew that's where you were going.
00:26:20
Speaker
It's a really good shout, David Luiz. And he, annoyingly, was going to be my centre-back partnership. for He was. on yes um a show ah Craig, you're up, mate. Pick seven. Can you tell me what I've got so far? Yeah, you've got Ramsdale, Maitland-Niles, Diaby, Riziski, Nabry and Sanchez.
00:26:38
Speaker
and he's a goalkeeper for centre-back. I'm going to go for Gabriel Ballista. think it was all right for at certain stage. Gabriel Ballista? Yeah. Ballista, yeah. Not a but not bad player at all, by any means.
00:26:50
Speaker
All right, Josh, this is your last selection of this section. Who would you like?
00:26:58
Speaker
It's getting a bit hard here for because years yeah I need another centre-back and need another winger and there's not much to pick from. There's not much to pick from. Winger-wise, yeah. talking their prime, yeah? In their prime.
00:27:12
Speaker
Yeah, it's not great, is it? It's not the best bunch here. If I don't pick him, I don't i don't see anyone else that can really do anything. Oh, no. um ah i'm I'm torn between two. torn between two here.
00:27:25
Speaker
and And one of them, you I'm sure, Josh, you're not definitely not going to pick him. Oh, right. I won't pick him.
00:27:36
Speaker
You know what? You you can take Dele Suarez. Don't worry about that.
00:27:41
Speaker
um I'm going to have to go Trossard. I'm going to to go Trossard. I'm going to Trossard. I'll pick between him and William. Those two I'll pick between. William and his time. Chelsea William was all right. Chelsea William was very good.
00:27:54
Speaker
I think Trossard just edges it for me. that is That is fair. To be fair, right. I think I need to clean the centre back up because there's some people who still need centre backs and I need to get a decent one in.
00:28:07
Speaker
Oh, there's not really any left. Yeah. Oh, mate. This is brutal. Okay. Oh, I can't pick. Oh, actually, I'm all right.
00:28:18
Speaker
I know I could do. I can do something. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. Hold the phone. We haven't set a formation. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Just go to a three. I've got three the back.
00:28:30
Speaker
Three at the back. got Three in the back. There we go. Problem solved. All right. To hell with you, Rob Holding. Sorry. I know we share a hairline, but I don't want you. I, in that case, am going to bring in to my squad.
00:28:47
Speaker
Do you know what? He was talked about earlier, but no one's picked him. I'm going to go Aaron Ramsey. oh no Oh, no. No one's picked him yet. No one's picked Aaron Ramsey yet. He was disgusted, but no one's picked him. I'm literally picking, like...
00:29:02
Speaker
Wenger's last squad at the moment. Jamie, you're up. Do you know what? just to get I need to get over my centre-backs, so I need to try and get one more centre-back in. um It's looking bleak. I mean, I can give you the centre-backs we've got left. You could argue Callum Chambers, Rob Holding, Mustafi, Mavroponos, Lich Steiner, Mari, Kivior.
00:29:30
Speaker
you though They're not really that i' mean excellent good, they? Have you got your centre-back sorted, JD? I've got... Yeah, I've got something working. You'll see what I do. You'll see what I do. Don't worry about me. I will... Do you know what? Just to get over my centre-back woes... Who is my other centre-back, actually?
00:29:52
Speaker
That's a good question. You've got Socrates. caves Oh, heavens. It's not looking good. So... Yikes. I will probably go for painfully. oh it's going to have to be Mustafi, isn't it? Yeah.
00:30:07
Speaker
That is the weakest element pairing ever. Mustafi and Socrates. I said, I can't think of anyone better. Jamie, that's a back line of Tomiyasu, Mustafi, Socrates and Tierney.
00:30:22
Speaker
No, poor awesome Yeah. absolutely loved it. final defense but apparently jamie absolutely loved it So
00:30:34
Speaker
Okay, Rodney, pick number eight for you, please, sir. Okay, I'm going to go CDM this time. And I'm thinking, hmm, you know what? Prime and completely fit, no injury issues.
00:30:46
Speaker
Yeah, give me Thomas Partey, man. There you femin yeah like my but Okay. Fair enough. You've not picked the one I want, so that's fine. You have him, you have him. Not a problem with me. ah Matt, your last pick of this section.
00:31:01
Speaker
torn between a few, but i'm going to go for Zinchenko. Oh, damn it, man! Why? Why? Why? Oh, damn it. Shouts of protest from the man on the podcast who clearly loves Zinchenko and has never said a bad word about him. Now I've got to do some work now.
00:31:21
Speaker
ah You were going to have Califuri at centre-back, weren't you, Josh? Yes! Hey, Nuno Tavares is still available. And ah Craig, your last pick before we take a little break. Who would you like?
00:31:35
Speaker
Smith Rowe. Smith Rowe. Why are you doing this to me? That's why you can at the Look at the list. and I'm looking at the list and I'm thinking no one picked him yet. I can't wait now. I'm doing my little homework. Look on my phone. Let me see.
00:31:51
Speaker
That one. That one picked. Yeah, super. You are you're listening to the dissolving of the Daily Arsenal
Zencastr and Podcast Wrap-Up
00:31:58
Speaker
podcast. We hope you're enjoying the total collapse of our ah companionship or friendship. We're going to take a quick little break here from our partners Zencastle. When we come back, there's three picks left for everybody.
00:32:09

00:32:54
Speaker
three picks now I'm going to very quickly rattle through the players who are still available so listen carefully Debussy Gibbs Chambers Jenkinson Holding Mavroponis Klasanac Lichsteiner Plegzulio I don't remember him Cedric Mari Tavares Kivior Bilek and Zach Medley are your defending options The Ox, Flamini, Coquelin, Zelalem, Hayden, Elneny, Iwobi, Ren Adelaide, Mkhitaryan, De Silva, Willock, Torreira, Denis Suarez, Guendouzi, Gilmore, Ceballos, Lekonga, Charlie Pitino, Jorginho, Fabio Vieira, and Marino, your midfield options.
00:33:33
Speaker
And in the forward, Yaya Sanogo, Danny Welbeck, John... Campbell, Chuba Akpom, Lucas Perez, Nelson Nketiah, Pope, Willian, Marquinhos Sterling, Asano Balogun and Kai Havertz.
00:33:48
Speaker
Josh, where would you like me to put Kai Havertz? yeah your information i' I'm going 4-4-3 and my forward line pretty set already. who um I just need defensively and they're not the best pick but I have to pick this guy.
00:34:03
Speaker
That's the way anyone else picks him. That's Kivy. Oh, come on. I'm going to forget and I can just leave it later. I don't have to worry about that now. Smart choice. I think you fixed it with the best option you could at that point in time. Right. I realistically need a modern player and not one from sort of like the late 2010s.
00:34:22
Speaker
So I think, do you know what? If we're talking prime, I'm going take Jorginho. but That was one when I picked as well. Yeah, I'm going to have Jorginho in that midfield to shore it up a little bit.
00:34:36
Speaker
ah Jamie, you're up, my friend. ah Right. It's right. The shakiest back four we've ever seen. ah Who would you like to add to it?
00:34:47
Speaker
you want to go back five to make it a bit more secure? Throw him Staffy in there. You've already got him. I've already got him. There's no point. Let's turn my... okay midfielders. um I will probably go for...
00:35:06
Speaker
Wait, who is left out of the midfielders, actually? not Ox, Flamini, Coqueland, Zalem, Hayden, Elneny, Iwobi, Rene Adelaide, Mkhitaryan, De Silva, Willock, Torreira, Suarez, Guendouzi, Gilmore, Ceballos, Lekonga, Patino, Vieira and Marino.
00:35:28
Speaker
And you could argue Kai Havertz.
00:35:32
Speaker
Do you know what? I'm going with Mikel Moreno. Mikel Moreno. Oh, you little liar. Yes, come on. After his heroics, yes, I'll take Mikel Moreno. Thank you very much. Mikel Moreno, it is for you, Jamie. it's really annoying because he was my next bloody choice as well. You're you're um you're making a habit of upsetting everybody, Jamie, at this point.
00:35:55
Speaker
think Think of somebody else for once. Now, Rodney, I hope he hasn't upset you as much as he's upset me and Josh. Not this time. I'm thinking my my my forward line is not looking good. you know I'm going to need someone either side.
00:36:09
Speaker
Unless I'm going to put Jesus out to the right and put someone down the middle. this is it. You know what? He didn't have the best time. it's not, you know. But I still thought there was a player in there. You know, it depends, you know. Let's just say this is the best manager who's running it, myself, who can get the best out of every single player. Okay, cool.
00:36:27
Speaker
Give me Pepe. Give me Nicolas Pepe, bro. Prime, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. A good Nicolas Pepe. Do you know what? If you're going to talk about his time at Lille, I mean... That's what I'm saying. It's like, deep form, he's on fire. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't collapse immediately as soon as he puts on the Arsenal shirt. yeah, absolutely. That's that's a solid shout, can't lie.
00:36:46
Speaker
We are talking in peak form, so I think that's a good shout there. Really good shout. Matt, we're getting close now. Who would you like? Right, if we're talking peak form here, yeah I understand people aren't a big fan right now, but in his prime, his longevity is unbelievable as well.
00:37:03
Speaker
It's got to be Raheem Sterling. knew he was going to say that. Raheem Sterling, yeah. And CEO Walcott either side in their primes. Take a day off. Oh my word, your front line is... Where is your front line?
00:37:14
Speaker
Oh my God, you've got Walcott, Waniere and Sterling. as your front line. Just pure pace coming through there. ah Wow. um cra pray Craig, Craig, Craig, who would you like? an and I need another centre back, so I'm going to go for Manipanos.
00:37:32
Speaker
Mavropanos, currently playing at West Ham. Yeah, okay. You could have picked a worse player. You could have picked Sokratis or Mustafi. Hi, Jamie.
00:37:44
Speaker
Josh, you're picking out. larefore Oh, has he seen someone? Yeah, I have seen someone. I don't think he's been picked yet. I think I just need centre mids right at the moment, right? ah You do need some centre mids, yeah. It's basically the middle of your park.
00:37:56
Speaker
I'm going to go Oxley-Chamberlain. Nova! Nova! Nova! oh yeah Alex Oxlade-Chamberlund in there for Josh Duncan.
00:38:08
Speaker
Josh, your squad looks terrifying. I'm not going to lie to look at it right now. You have a really, really good squad here. is making me quite upset. um I need another wide player as well.
00:38:20
Speaker
And seeing as people are starting to go,
00:38:26
Speaker
Or do I go for two up front? No, I've got three at the back. I can't go two up front as well. That's far too narrow. Right. Who do I pick? Do you know what? talking about We're talking about on form.
00:38:37
Speaker
I think I've got to make i've got to make the jump. It's going to be Willian. Okay. yeah Willian in there alongside Giroud and Podolsky. I think I've picked to my heart and not with my head in this one. ah Jamie, you're up, mate.
00:38:54
Speaker
ah What have I got left? ah You need probably another wide player and another midfielder. Yes. so oh What what are the midfielders that i left?
00:39:09
Speaker
Flamini, Coquelin, Zellalem, Hayden, Eleni, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Willock, Torreira, Gendouzi, Ceballos, Vieira, and a few youngsters who probably you won't Actually, you know what? Again, if we're going to go on form here, I'm going Mkhitaryan.
00:39:25
Speaker
Mkhitaryan? but Okay, going back to his sort of Dortmund days. You look at his time. Look at his time at Dortmund. I mean, the link-up play between him and Auburn. And you've got link there. I have Auburn as well. So it kind of just makes sense. so All right. All right, Rodney. Rodney.
00:39:40
Speaker
um Are you guys three at the back, Rodney? I'm thinking, I thought, you know what? i might just I might just have to slide in and do a 4-3-3 later. But I'm thinking, well who's left on our defender list? Yeah.
00:39:51
Speaker
I know it's looking at bare bones. Debussy, Gibbs, Chambers, Jenko, Holding, Kalasinac, Lichsteiner, Pleguzulio, Cedric, Mari, Tavares, Bielic, and Zach Medley.
00:40:05
Speaker
Oh, dear. Really down the bare bones here. We really are. This is the thing with having so many of us on this call. It's made it a lot more tricky. Oh, dear.
00:40:16
Speaker
Oh, dear. and Might regret this. Oh, man. Not looking good. i You know what? Give me... can't be picking Rob Holden, man. No, no, no. Rob Holden.
00:40:33
Speaker
You said we still got Cedric. We still got Cedric. Cedric's there? Yeah, Cedric's there. Jesus, me. yeah When you're picking between Cedric and Rob Holding, something's gone wrong, hasn't it? Oh, no. That's what mean. We got too many. I can't even can't believe what a second got taken. That was going to be my next one. No.
00:40:54
Speaker
I can't believe that happened. All right. You know what? ah Wait, so we've got, yeah, yeah, you know what? In that case, I'll just do the bare bones. Whatever's left since no one else is picking, let me go up top. I might actually do something crazy. I might move Jesus out to the left wing. Okay.
00:41:08
Speaker
And I'm having Pepe out to the right. Yeah. And I said, if it's in form, all right, top tier, I don't know. I could see myself going with, You know what? I'm picking, give me prime Welbeck. Danny Welbeck, yeah. Yeah, yeah, give me prime Danny Welbeck. Drop it right in the middle. You know what?
00:41:32
Speaker
My last choice was a toss-up between Willian and him. Only just one out. So Welbeck, when he's in his prime, like, I mean, not now. Yeah, back then.
00:41:45
Speaker
And he was about 50 years younger. Beck was fantastic. ah Matt, you've got two choices left. Who would you like? No, first of all, never mind not now, now, Welbeck this season, outrageously good. Yeah, he's surprised, yeah. Surprisingly.
00:42:02
Speaker
See, now I'm at a crossroads, right? Because part of me is kind of like, I wanted to then throw a bit of a spanner in the works, play when Airy is an eight, and then get someone up front, and i thought, Welbeck, the link-up man, perfect.
00:42:14
Speaker
But you've obviously decided to just... You're still going to go home flow. I'm going to...
00:42:22
Speaker
um' like
00:42:25
Speaker
Oh, this is long. um Because I still need a right back is the problem here. nice
00:42:33
Speaker
With that squad, especially you do. Play three in the back with them is going be fun. Gabriel, David Luiz and Zinchenko in a back three would be interesting. Yeah. We've got deck. Don't worry about that. No, don't worry. I'm planning some little like Zinchenko inverts in the middle. The right back tucks in.
00:42:49
Speaker
But the problem then is who's the right back who's tucking in? I mean, Matteo Debussy showed promise. He did, yeah. No, tell you what. Callum Chambers, what player.
00:43:04
Speaker
Are you trolling us, yeah? You've got to be. There's a genuine fear in this video. called call him My position right now feels that either one of my last two players probably isn't going to get picked.
00:43:24
Speaker
You know what? Nah. You know, we're talking prime. and Run in Kai Havertz. Bring me. yeah all right' like we consider it we'll put Kai in there JD if it was a great pick why didn't you pick him kind la and that's why he has someone who knows where the goal is so he's absolutely fine alright Kai Haberts is in there Matt Craig you've got two picks left who would you like
00:43:55
Speaker
I've got in goal. Can you tell my squad again? Yeah, you've got Ramsdale, Maitland-Niles, Gabriel Pallista and Mavroponos, Diaby, Rosicki, Smithrow and Nabrian Sanchez up front.
00:44:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:10
Speaker
i mean I need another left back and I need striker. Left back and a striker would be good for you, yeah.
00:44:20
Speaker
Kieran Gibbs Kieran Gibbs is available Kieran Gibbs it is alright he's in Josh it is your last pick and you're rubbing your hands together so you've been waiting for this moment can you remind me of the midfielders please of course Flamini Coquelin Zalalem Hayden Elneny Iwobi Ren Adelaide Da Silva Willock, Torreira, Denis Suarez, Guendouzi, Charlie Gilmore, Danny Tobias, Albert Sambi-Lokonga, Charlie Pitino and Fabio Vieira.
00:44:59
Speaker
um I'm kind of happy with my team. I think forward-wise, we've got the goals. Mid-forward-wise, we've got people that can pass the ball well. We need a bit bit of a defensive midfielder and I can't believe no one's really picked him. He's been pretty... On his form, on his day, that's Flamini.
00:45:15
Speaker
Flamini, that's my team. That's done. Flamini filling out the team. I loved f Flamini. i I remember when news so we signed Ozil and Flamini like on the same day and I remember saying to a friend of mine, Flamini's going to be more important.
00:45:30
Speaker
And thinking about that now, I don't know how the hell I'm on this podcast.
00:45:37
Speaker
My team is a mess, boys. I'm not going to lie to you. But I'm going stick with three at the back. Jorginho can drop in. I'm going to need somebody to join Ramsey and Cazorla in the midfield in an attacking sense.
00:45:54
Speaker
So Oh, God, this is horrible. This is awful. you know what? hold in On his day, I'm actually going to bring in Alex Iwobi.
00:46:08
Speaker
Oh, God. Alex Iwobi. Definitely have him. You can take him. You can take him. He can play football sometime. i'm I'm really struggling here, boys.
00:46:22
Speaker
I've picked a terrible team. I'm not having it. It's a top pick. This season, he's been phenomenal for Fulham. He has been really good. If he's been the top level, then there you go. okay It is his peak right now. This is his peak. Well, I don't know.
00:46:40
Speaker
If it is, then yeah, I've made a mistake. Jamie, you have one pick left. um Run me through, run me through, like, just run me through forwards at this minute because I need a forward. Sonogo, Joel Campbell, Akpom, Lucas Perez, Nelson, Enketia, Marquinhos, Asono and Balogun.
00:46:57
Speaker
Wow. Um...
00:47:01
Speaker
home I mean, i know who I'd pick if I was in your shoes. I won't be telling you, but I know who I'd pick. There's one other name in there you could technically put in.
00:47:13
Speaker
Well, actually, I don't he played, but Beeref. Who's the other name? You can't help him. No, I wouldn't say the name, but who's the other name? Because he's not been mentioned on the list, does he? and let's Say again. and Beeref.
00:47:28
Speaker
and Unless he's not played a single minute. Oh, yeah, yeah. Beeref. Yeah.
00:47:34
Speaker
He's not on the list. He doesn't I don't think he's... I don't know if he's played... He's probably featured in the under-21s, but I don't think I've seen him play like a minute in League Cup game or anything like that. I'm very defensive.
00:47:47
Speaker
I host quizzes, and so I'm very used to saying the quiz master is always right. and therefore And therefore, in this instance, the list master is always right. Right. um Oh, this is so bleak. There's two players two players ah that are on my mind. It's just...
00:48:10
Speaker
ah but Not even on form. ah I'd probably go... ah you know what? If he had um if you had a chance at Arsenal, I would have liked to have seen him stay. I'm going to go Balogun.
00:48:25
Speaker
Fair. Florian Balogun. Yeah. I don't think it's a bad chance. I really liked him at Arsenal and i I really wish he had stayed and really gutted he never really kind of achieved anything. But yeah, yeah that's Balogun for me.
00:48:39
Speaker
right then, Rodney, your last pick. Oh, you know, i think I'm going to to shift that. I'm not confident back three. i'm gonna have to go through that defender list and have that be the weak link You know, it's gonna have to be the centre-back pairing, but it's all right. I'm fairly confident in the rest of it.
00:48:51
Speaker
Okay. So Josh, please run me through the available defenders. Do you want centre-backs in particular? ah Yes. I'm looking centre-back pairing, my man. There you go. Callum Chambers, Rob Holding, Lich Steiner, Pablo Mari.
00:49:08
Speaker
They're really the centre-backs. Oh, God. Oh God, everyone's gone. No Koscielny, no nothing. I'm looking at this list. No, God, dear. No, Josh jumped in on Koscielny quite early. Yeah, fair enough.
00:49:24
Speaker
You know what? Just give me Mari then. There you go. I'm going to take it. I've got Mari. Oh, God. Did we say we've all got Cedric? Oh, no, he got taken too. There you go. cedric ah Cedric's there.
00:49:35
Speaker
Yeah. I thought Cedric got taken. Yeah, I thought... I thought so, you got taken, yeah. Oh, no, Matt took him. I just didn't really do that. Yeah, was thinking that, yeah. Yeah, Matt did... You got taken, yeah. Fair enough, fair enough. In that case, yeah, you know what. Sorry? I feel like someone else took him, but i didn't take him.
00:49:50
Speaker
Oh, fair. I'm sure someone mentioned him. Who's taken Cedric? feel like someone mentioned him, but did they actually take him? That's it, actually take him, though. I think someone mentioned him. Yeah, just give me a try. maybe then.
00:50:02
Speaker
It definitely wasn't I think I could figure that out, mate. Rodney, Cedric is available. I've just double-checked everyone's squad. Cedric's available.
00:50:12
Speaker
Yeah, fine, fine. Give me prime Cedric. It's fine. I'm not going to rely on him too heavily in the rest of the back line. We can have a four back four. I'm confident. Do you what I'll suggest to you, Rodney? Have Saliba and Timber at centre-back and Cedric on the right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:28
Speaker
All right. Matt, you have one choice left to make, sir. See, the problem is, do I galaxy brain this and go for someone out of position to play as a right-back, but there will actually be a third centre-back in the way I'm doing it?
00:50:41
Speaker
Or do I just say Callum Chambers because he actually makes sense for the formation and the way it's going? This isn't the first time you've brought his name up. There's clearly a deep respect there. There is.
00:50:56
Speaker
All I'm saying, if you don't remember that assist versus West Ham when we were 3-0 down to Lacazette, then get to know. All two assists in that game. Yeah, remember that, yeah. In he goes. Get him involved.
00:51:09
Speaker
Yeah, he got involved once okay Well, twice All right, Cam James it is then Bloody hell Goodness gracious me Craig, you have the very Last pick of The game You could probably do with a forward Who would you like? Sunogo What's the options?
00:51:33
Speaker
Sunogo That's it lets Joel Campbell, Akpom, Perez, Nelson, Nketiah, Marquinhos Asano. sno I went to the Emirates and watched Nketiah's debut and he scored his debut off the bench against Norwich in the D Cup. So I'm going to pick Nketiah, man. Fair enough. Nketiah it is. So that is it.
00:52:00
Speaker
we have it's taken us nearly an hour but we are finally paid our Arsenal draft. I'm going to go through the squads and let's hear everybody's immediate reactions. We'll go in reverse order.
00:52:11
Speaker
Craig, Aaron Ramsdale in goal, a back line of Maitland Niles, Gabriel Polista, Mavroponos and Gibbs. A midfield though of Abu Diaby, Thomas Rosicki and Emile Smith-Rowe. And up front, an in-form Nabry and Ketia and Alexis Sanchez.
00:52:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah, you've done all right, man. It's pretty solid, that. um Matt Bernd Leno in goal with Callum Chambers, Gabriel, David Luiz and Alexander Sinchenko in midfield. ah Defence, that's such a weird defence. Such a set of names, isn't it? um In midfield, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Messa Ozil while leading the line.
00:52:53
Speaker
Theo Walcott, Wanieri and Sterling are somehow all going play together now. wild I quite like it. not going lie. Rodney Gooden. Rodney Gooden had Wojciech Czesny in goal.
00:53:07
Speaker
A back line of Cedric. Saliba, Timber and MLS. In midfield, Partey, Xhaka and Erdegaard. Quite a defensive midfield to protect that front line. And up front, Pepe, Welbeck and Jesus.
00:53:21
Speaker
if but Just let that one linger in the air a bit there, Rodney. We're on form here. I mean, that's actually quite decent, to be fair. it all me It could be, but how is it in contention to this back line we're about to read out here?
00:53:36
Speaker
Jamie Patterson has... We don't need to talk about the back line now. We're less focused on the midfield and the and the attack. Yeah, that's great idea. First of all, Emi Martinez. Probably the best. I'll give you the best hockey one this.
00:53:49
Speaker
Takahiro, Tomiyasu, Shock, Duran, Mustafi, Socrates and Tierney make up the back line. You're going to be shipping goals, son. But ah then a midfield of Marino, Arteta and Mkhitaryan. That's not got much legs in it.
00:54:04
Speaker
And then up front, an interesting mix of Balogun, Pierre-America, Bamiyang and Gabriel Martinelli. Not bad. Yeah. Not bad. saves I'll be honest, Jamie. It's much better than my squad.
00:54:18
Speaker
um but I feel a lot better now. For me, Petr Cech in goal. A back three of Hector Bellerin, Père Metasaka and Nacho Monreal.
00:54:29
Speaker
with Jorginho just ahead of them, and Iwobi, Ramsey, and Santi Cazorla ahead of them. Not bad midfield. And a front line of Willian, Olivier Giroud, and Lucas, I can't hit a barn door, Podolsky.
00:54:44
Speaker
so wow And finally, Josh Duncan has done David Reier in goal, with Ben Veidt, Kivior, Koscielny, Calafiore. A midfield of Flamini, Wilshire, and Oxlade-Chamberlain. And a front line of Saka, Lacquer and Trossard.
00:55:01
Speaker
i they yeah I'm very happy with that. Do you know what Looking at them so far, they're all an absolute mess.
00:55:12
Speaker
It's quite hard to pick a winner, up but that is up to you. We will be posting all of these on the day this goes out on Wednesday to our social medias.
00:55:23
