## Resource

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about Mikel Arteta's comments about how he wants better individuals as he looks to build the squad ahead of the new season. We chat about what exactly he means, and whether interest in someone like Vinicius Junior will require an evolution on the part of the manager in terms of what he asks of his wingers. We also talk about the potential arrival of Bruno Guimaraes as someone who can add a different dynamic to the dressing room, freshening up the squad and the team as we look to defend the title. There's also a more general transfer round-up, discussion of the big FIFA related story this week, and lots more.
