Show Notes
Will Julián Alvarez come to Arsenal? Will he even pick up the phone to Mikel Arteta? Who knows but... do we want him to? Luke, Jim and Rory ponder on that question and all of the saga's complexities as the rumours continue to mount.
But first, there's the small matter of Unai Emery's Aston Villa on Monday night! We're excited for more of the same after Coventry City, and we might get our first look at Bruno Guimarães in an Arsenal shirt in the Premier League. One thing is for sure though: the Benaissance is well and truly under way.

More from The Thing About Arsenal
Jim and Jonny jump on the mic after a hugely impressive performance out in Munich, where some of the lads reminded us of their immense quality and Martin Keown reminded us he's even more madly in love with the club than we are. That said, we saw a scary-looking injury and a few shaky moments – join us for all the reaction!
Another week, another Arsenal headache. Laura and Lucy are back to unpack another ineffective display and ask the big questions: has Renée Slegers missed her chance to turn the season around? Has Arsenal lost its identity? And are we now just the wounded beast of the WSL?
Did Arsenal play like champions – or are old habits dying hard? Laura, Luke and Jim reflect on our dramatic win against Nottingham Forest, which has left each of the them feeling a bit different.
And breathe... Arsenal don't make it easy for us, do they? After an incredibly frustrating first 80 minutes, Mikel Arteta's Fix it Force™ got the job done, coming away from the City Ground with a 1-0 win.
Remember last season at Nottingham Forest? Yeah, but those days are long behind us. Aren't they?
