Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/author\/chancehaire\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chance Haire<\/a> is the youngest podcast panelist, however, he makes up for that with plenty of insight into the game.<\/p>\n<p>Episode seven is a bit of a departure for the team. Normally, the show centres around the latest and greatest Arsenal transfer rumours. However, this week, the team decides to discuss the current squad, including loan players, and what the club should do with each player.<\/p>\n<p>Possibilities include just letting the player be, due to their contract length or squad contribution. Being loaned or sold are other possibilities for players. The panel even decides on certain player extensions in this episode, looking at you, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/bc7dc64d\/Bukayo-Saka?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bukayo Saka<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many players were easy to figure, for example just letting <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2628fd2b\/Bernd-Leno?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernd Leno<\/a> be or selling <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3f2d59fe\/Shkodran-Mustafi?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shkodran Mustafi<\/a>. Some were quite difficult, however, like what to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dc6f5bdd\/Calum-Chambers?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calum Chambers<\/a> and what can be done about <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/16380240\/Mesut-Ozil?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mesut \u00d6zil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, so long as Raul Sanllehi listens to the pod, Gunners can rest assured the next transfer window will be successful.<\/p>\n<p>The run time is also much longer than the normal hour-long episodes. This week, the terrific trio managed to keep the conversation going for almost two hours! Anyway, the podcast can be heard using the link above.
