-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro
00:30 - Guimaraes: should be okay for training.
00:45 - Mosquera; we’ll see how he feels.
00:56 - Konsa: He’s available.
01:02 - Timber: he’s in a good place, we’ll decide after training.
01:26 - Saliba; we don’t know how many weeks he’ll be out for. We need to see how the bone reacts.
01:58 - Happy window is closed?: It is what it is. Now it’s crystal clear everyone’s squads.
02:34 - fish in elite pool?: every moment and scenario is different. Sometimes you need to react and be prepared.
02:57 - Nwaneri recall: Focus for Ethan is to play for an incredible club. Then we will see.
03:15 - Potentially playing Arsenal: maybe.
03:44 - Palmer, Roger’s and Pedro: defence's job to stop them.
04:09 - what’s I have to say is I love the players we have.
04:30 - saka: he’s been very reliable in the first few weeks.
05:07 - Alonso: really happy for him. It’s incredible with the history we have, with Iraola as well. It’s a beautiful thing to experience.
05:33 - Surprised Martinez signed?: No. We know what he’ll bring. Smart decision.
05:54 - Do Arsenal have world class players?: I love my players. Let’s trust them and help their incredible talent.
06:36 - Close relationship with Alonso?: this relationship has gone on for years. Now when you face each other you know what happens.
07:15 - Arsenal leaning on academy: it comes from the quality from the academy. It’s about the timing as well. We want to provide them the opportunity to shine.
08:05 - Keeping everyone on situ: that’s easy, if you don’t then you go somewhere else.
08:34 - Chelsea training with rugby pads: we use them as well.
08:54 - Martinelli: gratitude. Pleasure to work with him on this journey. It’s been a huge transformation. The impact he had at the club, he’s been a critical player. It’s part of football.
09:54 - Too extreme to say it’s a missed opportunity: I prefer to look at the incredible things at this club.
10:34 - How do you prepare for Chelsea?: will depend on a lot of factors and gamestate. Alonso is capable of playing in different ways.
11:07 - Lessons from Alonso: We have experienced different countries, same with andoni. It shows it’s possible.
11:52 - Not signing a player from Chelsea: there is an opportunity and need for the club. This can happen.
12:23 - 100 per cent ticked. The outcome might be different but the intent was there.
12:50 - Risk not strengthening forward line: you have to understand the amount of minutes played. The data shows differently.
13:21 - any regrets?: the sales can come from different aspects.
14:01 - how hard is it to pull off a mega deal?: Andrea would be better to answer that.
14:40 - Wider concern at player costs: I’m sure when this happens that there’s been a an analysis that can be done in a sustainable way.
15:30 - Midfield changes: we discussed on matchday to bring different profiles in. Monday was a squad victory.
16:06 - partnerships?: there’s multiple and that’s the beauty of it.
16:49 - Winger positions: it’s a random situation during games. Previous movements can bring wingers closer to each other.
