Summer 2025 Transfer Window

Qwiss

lorddulaarsenal don't think he's better than Kiwior. Decent player but makes too many positional mistakes to be an Arteta player IMO.

lorddulaarsenal

I like how agile he is for a unit. Is also good on the ball

JazzG

Press in Madrid seem to think they'll get this over the line.

Don Pacifico

JazzG good, means they'll hopefully move on from Saliba.

Qwiss

Zubimendi, Huijsen and Garcia. There is your summer dealings.

Burnwinter

Qwiss 😱 Stop that mate: far too real.

Feels like I'm catching a glimpse of Pennywise the Clown, but it's Arteta lurking down my storm drain with a fistful of goalkeepers, telling me "They can all be first choice down here, Johnny" …

Gazza M

Qwiss trauma

Gurgen

Add a striker and that's a pretty decent summer.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gurgen nope, an AM or an 8 with elite technical and creative abilities is as important as anything if not more.

Claudius

What I really care about: Striker + Zubimendi + lesser known back-up goalie

What would be nice to have: Striker, top winger, Zubimendi +lesser known back-up goalie.

Awesome if we get all: Striker, top winger, Zubimendi, Garcia, Huijsen

lorddulaarsenal

Would love Huijsen - but if he goes to Madrid it may end their near term press for Saliba

Coombs

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert I'm not sure it is for this system, and I don't expect we'll get one, at least not the type I think you mean. If anything, I'd expect a Sancet or De Ketalaere type.

Eze would be my pick, though.

lorddulaarsenal

Thoughts on Eze for that BBKG?

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal I really like Eze. He’s one I would take to help us with more penetration from midfield. A cheaper version of Musiala who I’ve always loved. But given the money we’d need to choose 1-2 from amongst left 8, left winger and striker. What are your priorities in order there?

lorddulaarsenal

So many areas to address or strengthen. Eze would also be able to play on the left but he’d bring a different style to the blistering paced one v one no chance beast we’re hankering for

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

lorddulaarsenal yep, but it's a huge bonus if we can get someone who can offer that skill/athleticism in addition to creativity and playmaking from out wide. So I'd love Eze or similar.

lorddulaarsenal

Eze is a direct and powerful attacker from central positions and would certainly bring that X factor

Gurgen

Arteta will tell him it's 'unacceptable' to lose the ball and that will be that 😉

Claudius

Gurgen lol. Interesting that Arteta has gone for Zubi btw. He’s a riskier passer than Partey. More likely to look up and try to feed one of his strikers with a long ball. Good if he keeps that trait to help us avoid playing in low blocks

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Coombs yeah it's probably not realistic as Arteta has pretty much never showed interest in paying two "creative" 8s together, which is a source of frustration for me.

Doc

If Rodrygo is available we should be all over that.. he's brilliant... that is the type of quality player we need to to take us to the next level in attack.. get him and im fine signing any oaf upfront.

CPM

Doc Yeah, for me adding a supremely technical/creative winger is our single biggest need. Yes we need a natural striker in the squad, but I'd be content with a Watkins-type player if we can add a game breaker out wide. Saka and Rodrygo on the wings, what a treat that would be to watch every week.

If there was a supreme striker option that was attainable, that would be a different story, but I'm just not seeing it. We have to start with the best attacking talent available, and then build our transfer plan from there.
