Towells & Seb are joined by a returning Alex for a classic international break filler episode - a Q&A.Thank you to everyone who took to Twitter to ask us questions!Timestamps:00:00-05:46: Intro05:46-17:39: Would it be beneficial for us to sell Partey in January? Who according to you are the best 8 options available in January?17:39-23:20: What would the best use of the January transfer window be? And do you think we need to be active in the January window to achieve our goals this season?23:20-25:02: Sell Reiss and buy a winger or sell Eddie and buy a CF?25:02-30:39: Should we be targeting a left 8 & moving Havertz into the 9 rotation? Would you try Zinchenko/Trossard left 8? We haven't really seen either, why not?30:39-39:35: How do you feel about Marti9elli? What do you see as his best role in the future?39:35-52:06: How will team dynamic look with Odegaard being reintroduced into the squad? Will Havertz be forced to shift back L8?52:06-55:46: Do you feel like this OOP approach could give us an even more solid basis to build from for the future?55:46-58:34: Do you think we’ll see a change in the balance between our attack and defense in the second half of the season, or are we going to play like now till the end of the season?58:34-1:01:30: What defines success for arsenal this year?1:01:30-1:06:55: Are Arsenal better or worse than last season?1:06:55-1:10:13: You have to replace one member of Arsenal's men's squad's hands with hooks.
