Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[Mac76]

Currently can't even give us a 3 out of 10 for this transfer window, but there is still over a month left, though previous form indicates that's nothing to be optimistic about.

Even I think Mosquera is pretty much done, so of the remaining question marks, if we get Gyok and Rodrygo I'm maybe a 6.5, am marking it down because I think Madueke's a poor buy at that price and also not getting Eze would be so disappointing.

I'm not so down on Rodrygo, though I admit I'm not an expert on him and with apologies I've not seen your comments on Brazilian attackers but can tell you're no impressed

If we'd got Sesko it would be a 6.

If we get Gyokeres and Eze it goes up to an 8 i think, although that also depends on sales - we need to sell Zin, also Vieira, Nelson, Lokonga etc - I'm tempted to also say Merino and Cala although they seem to have some uses - just not in the positions they were bought for

Madueke is official

[Marc Overmars]

Mosquera has also signed.

At this rate, this is probably the best news we could pray for...as if we leave this solely to our capable suits, it could turn into a Sesko situation and we try to complete the transfer next year.....after not winning the EPL as usual.

Yeah I wondered if Arsenal might let this drag a la Sesko

Suerly they must know Arteta and Berta will be hung from the lamposts around the ground if they don't buy a striker and we only end up with Madueke?

Seriously:

Most clubs (not Man Utd obvs ): "hey we really need this player - let's buy him" = player is bought and club does better

Arsenal: "hey we really need this player, let's play round with it, try everyone's patience ... and meanwhile pay the asking price for a player nobody wants" = player is not bought and the club continues to underperform. Repeat ad infinitum

Apart from Rice, when's the last time we bought a player everyone was genuinely excited about? Ironically it was probably Pepe

Rumours are that Isaks agent has contacted the club so they put the Guokores deal on hold.

Tbh I will be pissed off if that’s true.

I’m not entirely convinced by Isak and his price would be ridiculous.
Also Newcastle won’t want to sell.

Massive risk ‘chasing the dragon’ IMO

[Mac76]

If that's true, I completely agree with you

I'd genuinely prefer Gyokeres to Isak
