Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

Also how could you miss out Anders Limpar, he was our top goal scorer when we won the league in 91

Alright technically wasn’t a striker but still

Gunner Nordahl was a bit before my time

I'll be honest, I had to look him up!

Seems like Liverpool are interested in Wirtz. Could be a PL record transfer.

I think Wirtz is a very good player but quite happy for him to go there if they are going to blow their budget on him

They really need a facelift in defence. Van Dijk is getting old and they look like utter shit when he doesn’t play.

They’d be going from bad to Wirtz

Sounds like it's Sesko over Gyokeres! Arteta has won - he'll get his tippety-tap "striker" who will fit right in with the soul-crushing football he favours. I'm hoping these are just more rumours from wannabe ITKs, but it makes perfect sense. This will be our worst transfer window of the lot, if true. Not saying Sesko is a bad player, he looks fairly run-of-the-mill like all the "top" wonder players you typically get these days. But we had a chance to get a real player and now, if true, noyt only do we end up with the booby prize but I'm betting somebody else will swoop in and grab the real article - so double fucked. Don't see the point in bringing new staff in if they can't use their expertise and Arteta gets to work hi Wenger complex anyway.

[Marc Overmars]

Get them both.

Then offer up the likes of Martinelli and Trossard to Saudi.

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.

It'll be a big mistake if we get rid of Martinelli - one of the few players who always puts a shift in, even when the rest of them are asleep. Arteta has ruined him, true enough. But there's still a very good player in there if only Mr Control Freak would give him a bit more license to play.

Trossard could go though, if we're seriously going to spend some money in the window. He's not going to get any better and he's too inconsistent.

Deffo won't be getting two big names in though - not with stadium expansion plans doing the rounds.
