Arsenal latest news: Edu's £100m sales target | Merino reservations | Saliba's future | White recall
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Inside Arsenal extra-time, where I’m joined once again by James Benge of CBS Sports.
In this week’s show we discuss the pressure facing Edu to bring in some big money this summer and debate the target he should be trying to hit in terms of sales. We also discuss Ben White’s England future and answer…

Transfer dealings are slow and lazy
Edu pull your finger out
No matter who the new England manager is, he needs to get Ben White in as the first choice right back if he wants to unleash Saka's full potential in every England's international fixtures. Only Ben knows how Saka plays week in week out, they are a better partnership than with Kyle Walker and they would form a consistent deadly attack on the right hand side like they have made at Arsenal. If it's to materialize then the new England manager can think next of someone to fit in the Odegaard profile/role to complete the Saka, Odegaard and White triangle on the right hand side.
I talk about the money situation on my channel Charles, but the average fan in my opinion from the feeback that I get doesn’t care about money management and FFP. we saw how badly Raul Sanlli and Dick Law managed the books as well as Ivan Gazidas, and they didn’t have a clue.
Agreed, Southgate wasted opportunity to sub in club attacking systems. white/saka. Stones/Cole. Grealish/foden. Bellingham and Kane cut off in games and club training.
Hey Charles. Haven't heard much about Norton Cuffy recently. He missed the pre season start with the u21 and seems to move on for his career. Will we be able to generate some fee similar to Biereth from Cuffy?
Charles, respectfully, talking about only getting £100m for Tavares, Lokonga, Reiss, Emile, Eddie and Ramsdale is exactly what people mean when they talk about you undervaluing our players. ESR £40m, Lokonga/Tavares £20m combined, Eddie £30m , Reiss £20m and Ramsdale £30m. Total £140m and not unreasonably prices.
England Fans thinking the England job is on top of the list for foreign managers is delusional.
Hi Charles, Now for a fact that Nico Williams is signing for barca … The market for top quality wingers are less aswell as strikers . Should we look at a Sane or Neto both could be available for around 50m ? And also would you take Gundogan who is rumoured to be seeking a move away from barca
Not signing anyone, total bs
Fiiiinally you have your videos time stamped
Fulham has never been rubbish since promoting
Whenever I catch one of your shows, I'm reminded of why I don't make it one of my regular top content to watch.
What's this rubbish about last season not being a successful one? Second in the league by two points, 28 goodly mornings out of the 38 match weeks, record number of goals scored, et cetera …
And comparing Arteta's arsenal to Southgate's England? England play a poor system that don't suit the players at hand. Arteta has built a team capable of playing attractive, winning football.
Get a grip, a rational perspective. Ffs
Arsenal are slacking
Klopp would chew his arms off coaching Int football, England or anywhere else. He has far too much energy to work so little.
Fulham took 4 points off us last season ffs.
Mikel Merino is a squad rotation player to strengthen the team. Nothing more and nothing less. If he kicks on and contributes great but no one expects him to light up the field.
Think its pretty simple by the board. Players are up for sale but arsenal will use them to try ramp up the price but also focus on maximum points. And i think thats the best way, in theory get these clubs paying up and gwt better quality in, bur players like esr i would try use as much as possible while we can
Greeting from Chicago. What if the mystery German player is Sane? If we don’t manage to get Nico Williams, Sane could be an option. He has PL experience, knows Arteta, and could be a sub for Saka. Only downside would be his previous injuries but as we seen against us, he seems to just float down the field and has excellent ball control. We know how Arteta respects veteran players like Xhaka, Jorginho, Trossard and Partey. Also could Timber be a Partey replacement? Could that be why on the outside there doesn’t seem to be any rush to sell Partey?
Q how can Manchester utd recieve 26 million plus 20 % resale clause from marseille for Greenwood who's conduct is questionable yet we are struggling to get 30 plus million for a quality prem proven player in Smith Rowe.
26:50 y’all completely forgot to talk about whether gabriel and martinelli will be back
"West ham aren't very good at developing English talents"
Declan Rice: am I a joke to you…
James is being harsh on Fulham they finished some 20+ points above relegation zone! Hardly "somehow" surviving. They can finish midtable again next season that's their level nothing rubbish about that. Palninha a huge gap though. But their front players like munoz pereira reid etc will give them points
I don’t understand how Klopp could in good faith lead England to trophy as a passionate German 😅 “slight “ conflict of interest 😅😂
Martinez won us that cup with his great Penalty saving , if he was still at Arsenal we would have had more cups
Westhams dog is called bubbles
Reece James is the best all around RB for England hands down. Whether he can stay fit or not is another question…
27:05 – what does James mean about playing Plymouth?
Whenever I see “Salibas future” I have a mini heart attack
Awww I see your are not immune to the clickbait titles
There’s no realistic price where it would be worth selling Saliba *at this time*.
Even if £150M came in, the club would have to reinvest that money flawlessly. I don’t think the market exists for us to put that money towards any players that would make it worth it.
Too risky, too hard to predict how it would throw off the system. Eye watering money but not for our future best ever defender.
My trust in Benge’s football knowledge after he said Fulham will go down 📉
Hi Tom and James. Please do a comparison between Merino and Frankie De Jong. And who would be a better fit.
Guys total separate subject, but what are you thinking of the ongoing bloodline story in WWE and the addition of Jacob Fatu 🐺
Get Calafiori, Merino and Dani Olmo. Job done.
Hi Charles,
I've not seen much of Mikel Merino…. but after watching some highlights, the ex-Arsenal player he immediately reminded me of… was Edu Gaspar himself.
Seen a few Xhaka comparisons, but although he was hardly ever injured… Xhaka wasn't very athletic or really a dribbler (Merino seems to be).
Maybe time we have another left-footed CM wearing 17…
If we get Merino in he sounds like back up to Declan at 8, this leaves Partey and Jorginho to share the 6….seems a bit thin to me given age and injury records
I don’t seeing arsenal signing anyone this summer
Love the show lads keep it up
Fulham wasn't trash last year. That is a bit of over exaggeration. It would immediately make an impact there. Crystal Palace, especially if players like Eze stay, would be a fun team to watch with ESR.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Kimmich is not as good as some people think.
Arsenal need to buy Viktor gyökeres
On the england chat. A lot of people have said “let’s go get klopp”, but from klopp’s perspective, what’s the appeal of managing England? As Jamie carragher said, top managers manage in the champions league and England aren’t France, Spain or Brazil, there’s no track record of winning things. Is it just the honour of managing Phil Foden or kobbie mainoo every two years?
The England manager being English is really important. However, the most important factor is competency, and there hasn't been an English manager worthy of managing the England team for many, many years.
Sick of hearing about England 😤😂
Why u not mentioning Ramsdale for keeper ? As he didn't play
.. and rarring to go within two.weeks surely.. and Luca Nygaard signing too. Keeper..
I'm sorry, Mr. Benge, there's no way Fulham is getting relegated. Do you watch football at all? Wow! Fulham is a solid side, with a very good coach. I'm surprised to hear this from you.
Great show once again, Charles and James!
Why can't England take Arsene Wenger as a caretaker manager for a year while waiting for Klopp? Is that not possible?
you earn way more money from league positions than winning any cups, thats why teams concentrate so much on league, if they rise the prize money and tv money on the cups the teams woyuld try harder
