The big topic today in Arsenal land is dealing with the Jurriën Timber injury. Mikel Arteta was asked about and had this to say:
"I am more thinking about the resources that we have within the team to keep doing what we want to do. It’s true that he was giving us very different things in terms of what we could do on both sides, but again, these things happen, and we have to be prepared for that."
On the podcast Adam and Scott go through the internal options and then look at some of the external choices that might be possible. Adam did a look at this earlier this week:
Can Arsenal find a Jurriën Timber stand-in?
Jurriën Timber’s injury was a stiff headwind into what had been an encouraging summer for Arsenal. Suddenly, a player who looked certain to force his way into regular minutes in a season meant to include a Champions League run and Premier League title chase looks set for a long stint on the training table - one that may even end his debut season far, far too early.
Then there is the news that Folarin Balogun is a potential target for Chelsea and Spurs. This leads to an interesting conversation about selling and the two-tiered economy for sales that is developing.
Lastly, looking at how to deal with the selection headache that Arsenal will be facing for the match against Crystal Palace.
