Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

In other news United may have bagged 100m from Saudi for Bruno.

Can they take any of our dead players please?

Says everything about the modern footballer.

I think you are unwittingly making a compelling case for Gyokeres and explaining why Sesko should be nowhere near Arteta. Exactly, Arteta wants the latter so he can persist with his bollocks-ball. If at first, second, third, fourth and fourteenth you don't succeed - keep on doing it! All the evidence of why we need to break out from the rigid, predictable, unwatchable blight he calls football is laid out in a season where City, Utd, Chavs never showed up! And a Liverpool with players like Nunez on the books coasted to a title. So maybe Liverpool did win the easiest title in living memory - but we also picked up the easiest second spot! In a typically competitive league we would have been eaten alive. Or Arteta would have been forced to change. If he gets his way in this transfer window we are super fucked - another season down the drain and then start again in 2027 - around and around. Nearly there, almost there, soon be there, on track, progressing. How many times will the fans have to listen to it? We've done the Wenger thing. Here we go again!

Sadly there are fans that think Arteta is doing well and we are 'progressing' which is all that matters.

Where the fuck do we get these losers from?!

Madrid have paid Liverpool £10m for Terrance Trent Darby so he can play in the World Cup championship.

But you are assuming these are teams that would struggle against championship level teams. There is no basis in fact for that, its just guessing.

What is a fact is that Gyokores score a lot of goals, Sekso historically, does not.

You’re reaching I'm afraid

You might as well be saying there’s no way of knowing that I couldn’t beat Usain Bolt in a 100m sprint

If you’re simply refusing to acknowledge that scoring lots of goals is context dependent on who you are scoring against. This becomes utterly pointless. I’m not saying he’s not capable of scoring against better teams, but to treat his signing as a no brainer when it absolutely represents just a big a gamble as Sesko is silly

Not really.

One player has scored 50 goals this season, the other player has scored 13 goals.

That is factual, yes?
So it's not reaching to suggest that the player who consistently has scored over 3 times as many goals has a good chance of converting that to an extent, to the PL.

Lets say Gyokores comes here and gets 20 goals - that's ok as he would be playing at a different level.

But there is nothing anywhere, ever recorded to suggest that Sesko will outperform him or get 20 goals too.

And what is there to suggest Gyokeres is capable of getting 20 goals in the league? Darwin Nunez a player who has a very similar profile to Gyokeres has managed 25 in three seasons.



You’re talking about one player who has scored many goals in the Portuguese league and one who has scored fewer goals in the Bundesliga (but on average has 27 goals in 64 games). The Bundesliga is much much nearer in quality to the premier league than the Portuguese league is. Sesko like Gyokeres has scored goals in the champions league and at 21 has a scope for potentially exponential improvement.


Sesko is far better equipped to score against in packed defensive areas because like Gyokeres he is strong, but he also has a better first touch. Fact is whatever way we play we are more likely to face tight defensive units that sit back than teams that can be caught on the counter attack

[HCZ_Reborn]

I’ve of course kicked off when we have signed players I don’t think we should have signed. So I’m not telling anyone to wind their neck in.

Plus I wouldn’t have been happy at all had we signed Gyokeres so it’s swings and roundabouts

1. He isn't Darwin Nunez, funny enough, not every player from that league is.

2. Out of 224 games he has 100 goals and 26 assists (all time stats) that's less than a goal a game. Just because he is younger it doesn't mean he will 'exponentially improve' - the stats would suggest otherwise, more that this is as good as he's ever gonna be.
His stats for this season are worse than Havertz' - we need to be improving not going backwards.

3. We don't need anymore raw talent - we need results. Gyokores is more of a natural goal scorer, we need an instinctive striker, not one that might shoot once in 4 games.
How exactly is he going to score when we spend all our time passing the ball around the edge of the box rather than getting in behind?

Amazing.

I can see the excuses already lined up at the end of next season.
Another project player that might come good or might not.

Bye bye Arteta.
