## Resource

In this episode I'm joined by Charles Watts to discuss the end of the transfer window after it closed without Arsenal adding another attacker to the squad, despite high profile pursuits and the departure of players who contributed last season. How does that stack up in terms of how competitive the team will be this season, and could the club have done things differently when it came to players like Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Julian Alvarez. We also chat about the options for the left-hand side now, and what looks like a big opportunity for Eberechi Eze, as well Andrea Berta's work during this window, what some of our Premier League rivals have done, and lots more.
