Summer 2025 Transfer Window

CPM

I want to see Sesko, Barcola, Zubimendi, Garcia happen. There are too many years left on Isak's contract for Newcastle to sell IMO.

CPM I think if Newcastle gets Champs League, we should immediately do everything we can to wrap up Sesko and Zubimendi and then we can try to tempt PSG with a big bid, taking some of the surplus funds we would've earmarked for Isak (and instead used less for Sesko). If they turn it down then you can pivot quickly to Semenyo. That's a very good consolation prize and ideally leaves some funds leftover for market opportunities later in the window.

Big Willie

We'll be getting Garcia for 25m 😂

samthegooner

Big Willie Unfortunately I think you're right on the cost but on the positive side, my buddy who watches a lot of La Liga said he is very good. He said he thinks he's too good to be a #2 but it sounds like he's okay with coming in and competing.

Claudius

Please

Qwiss

Claudius I like this idea in theory but if only the PL does it are we giving a big advantage to Real, Bayern, Barca, etc?

samthegooner Apologies in advance for the length of this post

Not at all mate, laid it out nicely. Zubimendi and Šeško is the kind of summer we should be having.

I'm now in favour of us "upgrading" Havertz over Martinelli as I think it's easier to find a centre forward with distinctive, better qualities than Havertz, and because Havertz is a natural wild card / utility sort of player.

Claudius

I was going through a bunch of stats tables. The great thing about forwards is they’re easy to compare. There’s dozens of numbers that easily correlate to what you see on the field - unlike defenders and goalies. Honest truth, there isn’t a massive list of forwards that are a) better than Martinelli / Havertz and b) likely to be available.
So my mind is pivoting towards getting depth more than improving on them. Unless of course, Isak ever becomes available. You take him at pretty much any price.

Claudius So my mind is pivoting towards getting depth more than improving on them.

We want alternative attributes rather than depth of the same, especially lethal finishing or "ball striking" if you want to call it that. Just look at the difference Trossard has been able to make due to the quality of his finishing.

Claudius

Also puts a sharp focus on Wirtz / Musiala. They’re both likely available. I would target them over a forward if they can be interested in the project

lorddulaarsenal

Claudius yeah let’s get a magic man to be the creative talisman

JazzG

2 years left on his contract this summer, as well as Saka. Need to make sure we secure our players on new contracts

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

BREAKING: Someone wanting someone!

Claudius

One to watch. 19 goals in Serie A. Far ahead of everyone. 25 years old

lorddulaarsenal

Seems to sit neatly in the Lacazette tier

lorddulaarsenal

Would ya?

He’d bang goals in for us

flobaba

lorddulaarsenal I would. He's a bit older but still has the basic skillset and instincts to do well with us. If we can't secure any of our other options, for sure I would.

Don Pacifico

It's not even a link really. Journalist have put 2 and 2 the together and come up with Kane to Arsenal.

lorddulaarsenal

Yeah get him in for a season or two, pour the last drop from the bottle, enjoy bantering Spurs, then bin him when its time to collect Isak at a reduced price
