Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

My preference would also be for two strikers but for neither of them to be Gyokeres

Sesko would be one, in an ideal world Lautaro Martinez would be the other (though I think not likely especially if Inter win the Champions League)

Isaak would be one I’d favour but would cost too much

My other preference would be to sign Morgan Rodgers a player of both immense technical talent and physicality as an attacking midfielder

[HCZ_Reborn]

Though I suspect we won’t buy an attacking midfielder because Arteta wants to fast track Max Dowman

Hard to know how good he will be though he’s tearing it up at the level he’s currently playing at. Won’t be available to play before December though

You'll accuse me of trolling I'm sure, but quite genuinely, given your track record in underestimating very good players, if he wasn't already my favourite he would be now

Correction, underestimating players you insist are very good and in a lot of cases buttress your claim by saying “loads of people agree with me”

Gakpo and Eze are really nothing special, at best you could argue that for title winning sides they are squad players (which is exactly what Gakpo was for Liverpool)

Though Rice is a very good player, just not my kind of player and not one that I think can play continuously at 8. You need more of a Bellingham type in that role against the pubbers.

The thing is with Gyokeres he might be good, but I think whilst every signing is a gamble…a player that has played in leagues where defences part like the sea for Moses, that’s a gamble too far when we really need one established player who can hit the ground running.

Then there's only one person on that list and that's Isaak and if Newcastle make the CL, which seems fairly certain, we're not getting him for short of £200m = ain't happenin'

As for Gakpo and Eze, you're quite clever at asking for 'proof' when ultimately it's a matter of watching games, seeing how they play and the difference they make and yes backed up by some figures on goals etc

And Bellingham is demonstrably limited plus has temperament problems

You just take up daft indefensible positions and then sit in your bunker taking potshots at anyone who points out you're in error

I think Bellingham hasn’t hit the heights that he did in his first season at Real Madrid but I really think it’s hilarious that you call him demonstrably limited and accuse me of taking daft indefensible positions.

I haven’t asked you for proof about Gakpo or Eze what a strange statement, if it was a choice between Gakpo, Eze and Martinelli I’d chose Martinelli….and it’s a result of watching all three. You don’t have to agree, but to call it daft indefensible position you’d think I was saying the other two should be playing in the championship

With Eze I would hope you agree that we need players that can take us to the next level in attack, if you think he’s that and not just at best a fairly decent player to add numbers to our squad (and he’d be too expensive for that) I genuinely don’t get where you’re coming from.

You don’t need to call me out, it’s an opinion you don’t agree with. You have oodles of opinions I think are a bit odd, apart from on the political where I’m trying to bait you as much as anything…I really don’t have the energy to argue with you about it.

WTF - where did you get that from?

You just make up shit.

Because you think Partey would be a good 8 and Rice needs to be a 6. Deluded. Ignoring what you see with your own eyes so you can stick to something you got wrong ages ago, come hell or high water.

Gyokeres wins us the title.

There - you can quote me on it when I'm right. Or beat me with it when I'm not wrong.

Isak is ORDINARY mate. He stands out in a very ORDINARY league. He would have been a bench warmer if generations past, but now he's very good (on a random basis) in this shit league. Which is still the best league out of all the incredibly shit European leagues.

Gyokeres is a proper player. Go and have a watch of how he plays the game. Then compare to the flouncing Isak.

I like Bellighman. He absolutaley hated losing to us and started throwing our players around the field - albeit knowing the ref was bent. I like players that care.
