Summer 2025 Transfer Window

Sicario2

QuincyAbeyie it’s London, not North Korea

Probs houseboat but I’d be well in favour of this.

Few things matter less than "the optics."

Rumoured to be making a move for Sane tomorrow

I may be the only one here who’s keen on this move. He has a good shot on him, and is tall and leggy enough to be effective in one on ones. Would provide great depth

Sicario2

lorddulaarsenal he’s only good if we sign a striker and another LW. If he is our main LW then it’s not so good.

lorddulaarsenal

Sicario2 I agree. He’s basically taking the squad spot Sterling had this season. Should be way more useful though

JazzG

Sicario2 He is a RW and signed to be backup for Saka. We all complained that we ran Saka into the ground and if this guys is available on a free that will do. Leaves more money to spend on other positions.

Claudius Bayern also want to keep him, they’d happily let him leave if he was washed up.

Don Pacifico

Just doesn't make sense to me. All my experience and everything I've read tells me he'll sign a new contract with Bayern.

Claudius

If he’s available, take him. And keep working on other moves. This guy got 12 goals and 5 assists last season. He’s not a husk like Sterling. He also generates a shit load of shots and non penalty xG, which is what we lack.

Dowman should get the Sterling spot. Sane for Trossard seems fine, though, assuming we also get a top left winger.

We need better players. We need to win now.
Let’s also entrust significant minutes to a child whose only experience to date is dominating other youth. I’m really struggling with the Dowman expectations.

MistaT You can play Dowman next year or you can go for trophies, but you can’t do both.

Asterix Dowman is 15. He’s not yet any kind of answer. Let the kid develop.

I'm talking about being the 7th forward. I'm not talking about playing some prominent role. If we don't sell Martinelli or Trossard and we sign a center forward and we sign another winger and we sign Sane, then Sane would be our 7th forward. If you really want Max Dowman to go to Manchester United so that we can pay Leroy Sane £100K+ per week in order to play maybe 600 minutes a season, then fair enough. That sounds fucking insane to me. That is the specific thing that I'm saying we shouldn't do. If we were to sell Trossard, though, then things line up.

MistaT

I’m not excited by Sane in the least but I’d also imagine he could easily match Nwaneri for contribution, and probably has a higher floor as it’s not unlikely Nwaneri struggles in his second season (as plenty of players do).

Qwiss

Don't want Sane. Don't see him as any much of upgrade of Martinelli and Trossard.

Speedster

Ideally we sign a world class left winger, the worst thing we can do is spend a fortune on someone who's older but not better than martinelli like Mudryk. If we can't find the ideal LWF. Sane could be like a Jorginho style signing where he provides depth for a super cheap fee.

And theirs something tasty about if we're chasing a goals and could bring on Sane sesko Nwaneri. 3 lads with deadly shots.

Claudius

Qwiss assumption here is that he is the only new winger coming. If Arteta is sufficiently scarred by last season, he might add two more wingers.
My preference is still to get one or Williams or Rodrygo though. Sané as an on top would be welcome. I don’t want another crazy autumn like last year. That’s where our season ended.

Gazza M How many Michus for a Chivu?

JazzG

Gazza M HomeSteak 2002 me's heart skipped a beat. thought we'd finally sealed the chivu deal 😢

Gurgen What about Trabelsi? Is he finally coming?

These jokes will never get old, we'll be in our 60s still talking about this on the forums 😂

Claudius

JazzG can you imagine the Travelsi transfer in the ITK era ?

Gazza M

JazzG trabelsi being listed as an arsenal player in PES4 was a cultural moment you had to be there for

JazzG

Claudius It is like one of these open goal misses from 2 yards out, even now I occasionally wonder how the hell did he not become an Arsenal player!

Gazza M Absolute jokes man, it was like the transfer was done but 20 years on we are still awaiting the official confirmation!

Qwiss

Speedster nice to have better subs but in this instance we are talking about the only change to our starting XI being Zubimendi. I don't think that really moves the needle enough. We've just come off a 74 point season. We need a lot more if we want to finally get over the line. Sesko and Sane would be hugely disappointing if they're the only additions to the attack.

Don Pacifico

Gazza M another one of my favourites was watching Carini (Uruguay GK) play for us in pre-season (think it was against 1860 Munich) before backing out before the season started.

Qwiss

Claudius yeah I guess its possible to sign 2 wingers this summer but I'd have to see it to believe it. Williams and Rodrygo both look like they're not going anywhere.
