Viktor Gyokeres

Goal scorer

Segway

I'm excited.

Klaus

Guys, we're signing a top 5 striker in the world.

I know some of you don't want him, but let me just say this one last time: you're going to love this demon. This is the best signing we've made since Aubameyang.

tazmania

Klaus there's been a few good players signed since Auba. Unless you meant forwards

Klaus

tazmania I meant players.

Klaus Klaus. Not any slight on Viktor but you’re also going to love Zubimendi. He insanely good at football.

Mirth

More importantly we’re signing the single biggest gap a team that’s finished 2nd 3 seasons in a row has missed. Exciting times.

tazmania

His base fee is £55M. That's amazing. Only cost us a Noni Madueke

Klaus

tazmania 27.5 Michus. What a bad currency. Going the way of the Reichsmark during WW2. Only currency more volatile has to be Dogecoins.

Klaus

lorddulaarsenal Bloke's amazing.

I had three wishes before this window: finish Zubimendi, give me Gyökeres, and give me Eze. I'm going to faint if we get all three. I'd have to get a shirt with Big Berta on the back. Arteta can bring Ledley King out of retirement and offer him a contract for all I care. Still the best transfer window in decades.

tazmania

We've signed Rice, Gabriel and Saliba since then. I'm a bit skeptical that he's the best since Auba but we'll see

Klaus

I mean come on guys, chin up. Partey is gone and we've got Zubimendi and Gyökeres. We've shipped one sickly rapist and taken on two top class payers who never miss a game in the exact areas that win you the most points on the pitch. This is business so good that you want to print and frame it. We'll drop like a fucking hammer on United in the first game and never look back.

Sicario2

Klaus i hope so but got to remain humble. Let’s aim to have a great start to the season and take it from there.

Burnwinter

Klaus who never miss a game

Mate can you not? 😬

lorddulaarsenal

Probs go 5 nil up playing with loads of swag and then we’ll bring on Madueke who will proceed to score 6 own goals in record time

Klaus

Apparently Anders Limpar was something of a mentor for Gyökeres when he started out in Brommapojkarna: https://fotbolldirekt.se/internationellt/anders-limpar-vill-se-arsenal-ta-gyokeres-det-hade-varit-helt-galet/

Article's from 2024, but Limpar talks about how much he'd love to see Gyökeres in an Arsenal shirt. Seal of approval from god himself.

Gazza M

he has a career arc that lines up with some of footballs best late bloomers. keen to see what he can do in an arsenal shirt. he seems to be absolutely locked in mentally about this move.

Ray

Gazza M tbh he’s not really a late bloomer, most strikers don’t start really scoring until they hit 21 - 23, at 23 he scored 18 goals and since then 22, 43 and 54
He reminds me of Kane, doesn’t really have anything special but someone who always finds a way to score goals and has the confidence for it too.

Burnwinter

Gazza M absolutely locked in mentally

Let's hope it's that and not "locked up for being mental" as it sounds to me like he's been running round like a pork chop for quite a while on this deal.

CPM

Finally, some quality backup for Kai.

Sicario2

Interested to see what number he will get. 14?

Gazza M

Ray he's a late bloomer in terms of playing for an elite club at the top level. and I'm not counting that as a strike against him, it might be his hidden strength. the guys that take a circuitous route to the top can have a different kind of mental toughness ans hunger, which appears to be the case given Vs willingness to fight for this move
