Summer 2025 Transfer Window

CPM — Eze makes sense because he could certainly handle Odegaards job, or Rice’s (at right 8) if we’re chasing a goal/game.

PSV’s Saibari is the other name I keep throwing out for Odegaard cover.

USArsenal

But we went 16-1-1 in that time, so its not really a misrepresentation. And we scored goals against time reputable teams too. 3 v Pool, 5 v Chelsea, 3 v Tottenham, 4 v Newcastle....

This past season, we were inconsistent, for sure. but that was down to injuries more than anything else.

USArsenal but over the full season that year we blanked too many games I think compared to teams that have one the title. Scoring 5 or 6 in some games makes it look like there are more goals in the team then there are when we face tougher defences.

CPM Viktor Gyökeres might prove to be a very useful player but the second coming of Thierry Henry he is not.

I'd settle for the second coming of Erling Haaland.

I meant in terms of signings. Obviously titles/ trophies are the end game. What/who gets us there?

Speedster

He looks really poor in this one.

But to be fair to him theirs very little support around him offering him options. And nobody is moving to help create any space for him by pulling players away

Speedster And nobody is moving to help create any space for him by pulling players away

That’s not going to improve here

JazzG

Speedster To be fair superior players in Mbappe, Vini Jr, Bellingham etc all stunk the place out as well.

One thing I worry about with him is he doesn’t seem to handle strong physical contact that well, he’ll be getting a lot of that in this league.

USArsenal

His game against us at the Emirates is definitely not the compilation to watch to see the best of him. Lol.

Don Pacifico

Tam my hope is that buying a proper striker will solve this issue.

Speedster

Tam

Why do you think that?

Tam

Speedster we don’t have particularly good , or quite often any, movement, ahead of the ball. Too many wanting ball to feet and not wanting to find space or run into it. Martinelli can do it a bit where the games more often, but I don’t think he’s got the nous to find the space in congested games even if willing. Havertz can be good, as can Merino b it neither appear to be nailed on starters next season. In general we don’t have enough players looking to get into awkward spaces for defences.

To be fair he looks to be technically top drawer. Extremely clean first touch and tight ball control. Definitely wonder about his physicality though.

Speedster

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Yea but he's not putting any of it to any use. He's not creating any kind of threat, he's super ineffective in all his play. I get that's its a tricky day at the office for him.

Bernard Woolley

Also, feels like we need an overlapping LB to get the best out of him vs our current tactics of the LB moving into MF and the LWF holding the width. Thankfully it feels like both MLS and Calafiori can potentially go wide and support Rodrygo down the outside and have the skills to do so, but not sure how Arteta will plan the combinations on that side of the pitch as the team's movements will need some rejig. Also, the big question of whether he actually wants to be here or not still looms.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Speedster that's why I have my reservations. He's not going to be that one man wrecking machine the likes of Alexis could be, and this team badly needs that.

HomeSteak

I would walk away just so we don't have to deal with them.

[Bild+] Arsenal are seriously considering Hugo Ekitike

I assume it's just us putting pressure on Leipzig and not a real story

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

HomeSteak reliable in any way?

Rodrygo feels like he’ll flop. He’s weak and isn’t aggressive, that’s a recipe for failure in the PL.

Don Pacifico

Isn't that quote from the Sporting president basically the same thing that was said a couple of weeks ago?

Anything more than 70m is stupid money in my opinion.

JazzG

Wouldn’t be against this…

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Please yes.

Mirth

Ekitike or Sesko?

Qwiss

Mirth Ekitike easily for me.
