## Resource

In this episode we chat about the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, after his unveiling at the stadium on Sunday. We chat about what he can bring to the team, and how we might have to let go of the past a bit, before turning our attention to the Emirates Cup defeat to Borussia Dortmund. There's some focus on new signing Christos Tzolis, and pre-season friendly context applied to the defeat, as well as the big question about what we're going to do in the market in the absence of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber – with a big 'DO NO WANT' around one particular player linked. In part 2 we answer listener questions about what we do after the failed pursuit of Vinicius Junior and a bit of discussion around potential targets for the left side including Nico Williams, Mikel Arteta's contract, young players impressing in pre-season, Kai Havertz and his longer-term future, Martin Zubimendi and lots more.
