YAMA Cast Season 2 Episode 1: The one about transfers

Tansfers. It’s all anyone wants to know about these days. Forget for a moment that the season kicks off one week from today – it’s all about who’s coming in. That’s why we’re happy to kick off season 2 with a one on one discussion with one of the folks most Gooners online turn to for their transfer stories – @GeoffArsenal.

I don’t know Geoff’s last name – never asked but he is usually one of the first people to have information on Arsenal transformations and I would classify his success rate as near on 95%. When you ask anyone on social media who you should trust on rumours – it’s always Geoff’s name that comes up first.

Geoff and I spend 30+ minutes going through the whole Luis Suarez saga and what the likely outcome could be. We also discuss the rumour dujour which is the one rumour that has been perculating out there but is now gaining more traction – Bayern Munich’s Gustavo to Arsenal for a fee of around £14 million. Gustavo finds himself the odd man out in Pep Guardiola’s German plans and has been left out of their most recent match.

Originally reported to going to Wolfsburg that story seems to have been muted. Geoff talks briefly and whether or not Arsenal are truly in for the player. We also take a look at the need for defensive cover and whether or not Arsenal will be bringing in a RB or CB to fill in for the missing players.

Finally, the YouAreMyArsenal Podcast is going to be changing its format starting with the next episode, we’re pleased to have some of regular writers and myself taking a half hour each week to discuss all the Arsenal news and previous and upcoming matches. We’ll then conduct our normal 1 on 1 interview with who’s hot in traditional media, social media and all points beyond.

We thank you for coming back and listening and hope you’ll come back each week for a new episode.

Until next time. . . Stay Goonerish!!!
