Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[KSE Comedy Club]

If you think the PL is the weakest league in Europe, it only goes to prove that you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

What is it with you and Gyokeres anyhow, does he remind you in some way of players from an era you cry for the moon for ?

Im not even being critical of him, im just aghast at how people can be so hazily uncritical of the fact that he’s played in the English second tier and Portuguese football. And whilst he could be a star that no one has gambled on, when the highest level of football you’ve played is in Portugal and half the goals you’ve scored in that league have been penalties…I think I can be excused for worrying that this is another Nicolas Pepe

This season he has 39 goals scored from open play and 12 (51 total) goals from penalties in the league, so it's not half his goals, more like a quarter.
That is not to be sniffed at.

Also, 6 in the CL plus 2 penalties.

I would rather take a punt on this guy for a low fee than get more average, maybe/journeymen.

That’s a bit of a false binary in my view

I think there’s a lot of both promising and finished article strikers out there that garner more consideration.

I think when a players name gets put about so much, it’s largely the act of an agent salivating over a pay day

Sesko, Martinez, Ekitike, David….these are more the players I’d be looking at (and in one of the few occasions where I’m in alignment with Mac76 we should be looking to bring in two rather than one)


Frankly I think the summer should be purely about signing players in attack, only sign Zubimendi if Partey goes


Two strikers, a winger and an CAM.


Don’t need more defenders, any old cunt can be a backup keeper. Need to stop that shit

Gyokeres seems more probable now United have fucked it.

Would quite like Sesko because he seems like a bit of a genetic freak. 6ft5 but moves around the pitch with ease, like a more agile Giroud.

I see the potential to be a Haaland like player in him

Although Haaland in fairness was already tearing it up at the same age

Haaland! Gyokeres is the exact opposite! He gets all around the pitch and makes shit happen for himself, he doesn't just stand there like a lump waiting for ball to feet. Haaland could well be the laziest player we've ever seen in this league. Gyokeres would be one of the hardest grafting.

What is it with you? You insist on crazy stuff like Partey being able to play 8, and then you stick with it come hell or high water. Sure, Haaland's an epic finisher, no arguments there, but he'd be an absolute luxury we simply couldn't afford to carry, not the way we play. And especially as we are already carrying the likes of Odegard. We need somebody who can go the extra mile to compensate for the shit going on in our team that Arteta apparently doesn't want to fix.

First of all I was comparing Sesko to Haaland, not Gyokeres

Also you need to get over this Partey thing. If you bothered to read you’d see that my preference was for Partey to play at 8 over Rice not that I think he’d be especially good there. I just think Rice is utterly unsuited to playing at 8 when you’ve got teams that will drop deep and sit behind the ball (which is about 90% of the teams we play).

Haaland is physically strong, quick and good on the ball as well as being a good finisher

Alright, well I'll shut up then.

The problem with Sesko is he doesn't score loads and would likely be a player that still needs a couple of seasons to improve to a higher level.

We don't have that time anymore.

On the matter of players being pimped out by their agents, Rodrygo

I’m sure he’s a decent enough player. But Arsenal fans salivating over tenuous links with him….is a direct consequence of the PR job done through social media rather than any particular regard for the player who certainly barely warranted a mention in the preview of our champions league tie against Madrid

He’s a bit of an unsung hero that gets forgotten about because of the sheer amount of Galactico’s they’ve got but he is a very good player. Trossard and Martinelli are not better than him IMO, he definitely improves us.
