Summer 2025 Transfer Window

Get Mitoma!

Qwiss

GooneriC Not interested in him at all. Was shite at Everton, Fulham and Leicester.

Sicario2

Qwiss that was 3-4 years ago. Players can improve you know, didnt he score a hattick in a European final just last year?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert why are were only learning about potential obstacles now? We should have had groundwork largely done and dusted before the summer.

Amateur hour. We've known for ages about Williams' stupid wage demands for instance so why is the club acting blindsided?

dude, seriously. as of today, we are 5% of the way into the registration window. Do you expect a signfiicant share of deals to be done in the first 5% of the registration window?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Claudius Liverpool though.

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert don't think we'd be all that happy right now if we'd spent £60m of our budget on Mamardashvili and Frimpong.

I'd take Frimpong. The squad could do with an option that's totally different from anything else we have at full back. The club hates signing true blistering pace and directness though.

Oh and don't they have Wirtz lined up?

USArsenal

So...... Nuno Tavares has permanently joined Lazio.. Seeing reports of 6 million, up to 7.5 million.. That seems a little low for a player that actually did pretty well on his loan. Think we actually LOST money on this deal.

Edit, seeing reports of a sell-on clause attached possibly

The collective head loss on here on the 5th day of the window is extreme to me. If you're upset about Cunha and Mbeumo, I sorta get it but I also believe the reports that they were backup options for us and that we are pursuing winger talents that are either better or have a higher ceiling. I wouldn't want us to get rushed into buying a backup signing and then miss out on a chance to sign a Rodrygo/Barcola/Williams talent later in the window. However, I do understand that previous windows have lost the Arsenal leadership team some goodwill from fans since we puttered around those windows too.

Call me an optimist but I just can't wrap my head around the leadership at the club acknowledging the attack needs improvement and then not doing anything this window. If we are in the same spot in 2 months, I will join in the panic but until then, I'm happy to let it play out and am confident we will get some good attacking talent into the squad.

samthegooner don’t worry we have Kai ‘I’ll be back’ Havertz as our main striker next year

samthegooner

Sicario2 I do find it hilarious how many people are raving about how big Kai looks while actively lifting weights compared to photos where he isn't mid-workout. Seems like a lot of folks don't understand the effects of a good workout pump on muscles... Not to say that he doesn't look bigger, since he does, but its not as extreme as some of these photos are making it look!

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sicario2 putting the AI in Kai.

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert so to understand, the players they are talking to count as progress but ours don’t?

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Frimpong is fine, not convinced he can defend as a real full back though.

No Here We Go for Wirtz yet. We do have a HWG for Zubimendi though.

daredevil

The difference between the two pictures is one he's wearing a compression fit and the other is a normal fit. Not to mention, the pump effect that sam mentioned.

MistaT

Kai is also putting on pounds because he's barely been playing, and his cardio output would have been massively decreased. Most players can't add weight/strength mid season as they struggle just to maintain calories surplus due to the massive workloads from practice/training.

My bet is Kai will have gained 10-20 lbs due to his work in the gym and cardio pause, but he'll trim off 5-10 of that through early parts of next season.

Updating my wishlist by tiers of satisfaction at the end of the window:

Bare minimum (5/10):
CF: Sesko/Gyokeres
LW: Sane/Paixao
CM: Zubimendi
Backup GK

Getting somewhere (7/10):
CF: Sesko/Gyokeres
LW: Semenyo
Winger depth: Paixao/Sane
CM: Zubimendi
Backup GK

Close to a perfect window (9/10):
CF: Sesko/Gyokeres
LW: Rodrygo/Williams/Barcola
CM: Zubimendi
Backup GK

Absolutely crushed it (10/10):
CF: Sesko/Gyokeres
LW: Rodrygo/Williams/Barcola
More MF oriented Trossard replacement (sell Trossard): Eze
CM: Zubimendi
Defensive depth (if Zinchenko goes): Hato
Backup GK

Claudius

samthegooner love this post. I’m co-signing it

Sicario2 the Rodra10_97 guy quoted in this tweet is being followed by romano, fwiw

DiabyKungFu

If we push the boat out and sign Rodrygo then there is nothing stopping us from winning the Conference League. I wouldn't want to hear any more excuses.
