Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Romano had a recent chat with Sesko's agent....someone clearly handed him Arteta's cheatsheet

Nothing is done yet at this stage, not even on personal terms. The story is still open and fans are waiting to understand what’s going to happen with the RB Leipzig striker.

In an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT, Sesko’s agent Elvis Basanovic has clarified the current situation - speaking for the first time in months.

Asked if he sees the Arsenal striker race as being between Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, Basanovic said:

“Well, thanks for the question. I got many similar questions in last days! It’s not correct to speak about names of clubs that are interested in Sesko. But maybe it is right to clarify a few things."

We’re happy to hear from you, as this Sesko-Gyokeres story is one of the sagas of the summer: what’s happening with this saga?

The agent added:

Let me tell you: Sesko is not competing with anyone. It’s him vs him every day. We have a clear plan for the future and media speculation doesn’t affect us.

Sesko is not just a striker, he is a special striker.

The plan remains to leave RB Leipzig this summer?

“Well, his numbers at his age compared to some strikers with already great careers at his age are confirming my words. He will move from RB Leipzig only when we recognise a special club, a special project with a special coach."

There are rumours about you pressing Leipzig for Sesko to leave for a lower fee to join Arsenal. Is that true?

“This is far from truth! We respect RB Leipzig and I am 100% convinced RB Leipzig will also respect our decision for the next step when we decide to do it."

When is that going to happen? When is Sesko leaving?

“It can be next week... or next year, or in 3 years!”

Do you have a message about Sesko’s transfer situation for all the fans asking?

Even if there may be - or will be - a strong desire of the player to move to a certain club, we will never force or blackmail RB Leipzig. I believe this is not the right way, because the way you actually exit from the club shows your values. Values that you are bringing into a new club.

I can understand in very big transfers, there are a lot of different interests but no matter what, I believe in football world should be more respect. So that’s why we do things in the right way or we don’t do them. It’s very simple, even maybe in the media it looks very complicated.

Ben Jacobs was saying on talksport that we are waiting until July to conduct our business for financial reporting reasons.

Which based on the current date must be true.

Hmmm...did he really.

What he is saying would only make sense if there was actually no money to spend in January (as against what the club said and the bid that was made) as it limits how much we can spend in the new reporting period i.e. if we assume we had £50m to spend in January, we can't just add that to lets say £200m we have to spend in the next period. Accounting and FSR regulations won't allow that.

In short, the action he mentioned reduces how much we can actually spend on transfers as a whole, while actually increasing how much we could declare as profit (if there is any), which by now we know only helps one party (in the short term BTW).

A lot of this sounds like “we are making stuff up in lieu of anything to report” - a standard practice in summer transfer time

I think it’s pretty reasonable for fans to be perturbed that there is nothing to report, because it implies nothing is going on (although equally that’s not necessarily the case)

Ornstein is largely the only one who is worth listening to when discussing transfers as they pertain to us. Fabrizio Romano is a glorified ITK

So just confirmed he's likely wrong as, as just like Liverpool, we close our books in May of this year, so we've been in our new reporting period since the beginning of this month.

So any transfer we make in June/July really makes no difference for us as we're already in the new reporting cycle.

As for the teams we are buying from, it could make a difference for them, like the case with Real Sociedad, but really nothing stops anyone from getting into pre-agreements now and reporting them in July.

A good read concerning PSR (EPL's version of FSR) is below. Oh, and if we are seriously interested in any Villa player, our best bet is to act before the end of this month.

Yep, cheers for that.

I thought it was odd but now it appears he was giving his opinion rather than just giving actual facts.

Di marzio:

Gyokores has an agreement with Arsenal: the Swede will go to London or in any case will do nothing but wait for the two clubs to reach an agreement

Also, Alex Crook on Talksport says he received a text in the last 24 hours from his contact: Gyokores has told friends and family that he expects to join Arsenal this summer and is waiting on an agreement being reached.


I still think we should be going balls to the wall & signing him, Sesko Rodrygo, a creative MF (for HCZ) a GK and seeing what else we need.

Nice to know someone else remembers we've been chasing Nico for over a year and losing him to a team which is only able to pay him far less than we pay a Martinelli is indeed worrying.

Anyway, nice channel you discovered, and I hope he is right about Gyokeres...but honestly my bet is on this ending sour due to our prediclection for only those who bother to play hard to get

It’s nice that you think of me but the creative midfielder isn’t for me. It’s for all of us

Should it happen (which I sorely doubt) you can thank me six months down the line…when we aren’t huffing and puffing at home to Crystal Palace

Noni Madueke? Fuck off

I don’t mind buying a backup keeper from Chelsea, but not giving those bastards another 60-70 million

If we get him then we should riot tbh.

Absolutely fucking disgraceful to even be looking at him - another Chelsea reject ffs.
