Summer 2025 Transfer Window

Claudius

Nico Williams just scored this. This is what I want. A second protagonist in attack to balance Saka

HomeSteak

Claudius one more goal and he will equal Gabriel Magalhaes tally this season. Not to shabby for the 100 mil, 375K per week winger.
Took him till the last week of February to get 2 goals

Claudius

HomeSteak
1) his production isn’t great this season. Good time to buy. The player is ridiculously talented
2) Martinelli gets unfair grief.

HomeSteak

Claudius 1. His production isn't great. Period. In the league he scores 3 goals per season on average, a goal every 11 games. He is talented, but forget about it. The money they want for him is insane, the money he wants is beyond stupid. But I agree he is talented.

Yes.

Coombs

Claudius this is splitting unnecessary hairs.

Claudius

Coombs it isn’t. If you’re not clear what part of the problem you’re trying to solve, you’ll do the wrong thing. If we solve for xG outperformance, the highest in the league is Chris Wood. So say we go get him. But we still have a problem getting the ball into the space I front of penalty box and into penalty box. So this shaep knife will be left unused.

lorddulaarsenal

Nico Williams, Barcola or Semenyo needed

Coombs

Claudius my point is that we don't actually have that problem. xG is useless here because it doesn't consider shots not taken.

Claudius

Coombs We are literally saying the same thing

Asterix

lorddulaarsenal I love him. Get him in.

Who is this Alabe person you've mentioned?

flobaba

Olabe. The new Edu

banduan

Liam Delap does feel like a very Arteta signing

QuincyAbeyie

banduan or Rory, the final infinity stone of our set piece gauntlet.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

QuincyAbeyie I'm picturing Rory Delap getting up out of our dugout for every throw-in we get, the same way Jover does for corners.

Asterix

Do we have a throw in coach? I imagine so.

Claudius

Asterix same guy who does corners. Notice how both take half a day to set up.

The longer we don't have a DoF in place, the less confident I get on us doing what we need to do this summer to take the next step to being an elite squad next year. Hope we get someone in soon and it needs to be someone with experience negotiating big transfers IMO. I like the links today with Andrea Berta, the former sporting director of Atletico Madrid from 2017 - 2024. He had a great mix of value signings and bigger splashes (of course some didn't work out) and would seem to have good experience negotiating with the top clubs/agents. I trust Arteta's talent ID but I believe where we have dropped the ball is in convincing the player/agent/team to make the move. Let Arteta have a big say in who we go after but then get the deal done.

JazzG

I'd sign him and Zubimendi

JazzG

Another good CM to keep an eye on.

Doc

Hope we go for Kimmich, would be all over that.

Zubimendi doesnt really do it for me, bit too bland considering the type of player that occupies left 8 for us.. Going back for Douglas Luiz could be another option.

JazzG

Wonder if our name is being used for him to get a better deal! Would be a great signing imo but probably wants a massive salary which will be a problem.

Doc Zubimendi doesnt really do it for me, bit too bland considering the type of player that occupies left 8 for us.. Going back for Douglas Luiz could be another option.

Watch him for Spain last summer when Rodri went off injured, put in a clinic. There is a reason why Barca, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal are pushing for him.

Doc bland is MA's MO. We don't get exciting players.
