Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think it's unfair to cite Gyokores won't succeed because Nunez didn't.

Darwin Nine is one of the dumbest footballers I've ever seen, absolute chaos and so off the cuff it's untrue.

Gyokores clearly is not that and is absolutely ruthless in his pursuit of goals. I think when it comes to a point of scoring 50+ goals in a season, the league you play in becomes less of a concern to me. There are some Champions League goals in there of course too.

No doubt in my kind Sesko signing would be so Arteta can continue playing Haverz there. Far more palatable for him to be on the bench at 21 then Gyokores. Obviously he wouldn't come for that.

It would be unfair if someone had said that.

That's almost certainly one of the reasons, and my main fear. Sesko will be Havertz MKII - using his height with back to goal to distribute back to the middle. In other words, Arteta won't even have to tweak the system, let alone change it.

Liverpool have signed Jeremie Frimpong. Wirtz deal looking likely too.

Quite a start to the summer for them.

Darwin Nine.

Not what I mean to say but well, it works.

We'll be here is six weeks waiting for the first deal to get over the line. Any day now. Have we even done the Zubi deal yet? I thought that was in the bag, just needed the papers signed?

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

Can they take any of our dead players please?

If they sell Bruno and Garnacho they're going down, unless they recruit really well - amd given it's Man Ure that's very unlikely so it looks like its this season

They'll never go down, refs wouldn't allow it. But it might be funny to see what outrageous shit they could pull to stay up - like changing the kick-off time to 2 hours earlier and forgetting to tell the opposition.

I kind of agree but hope you are wrong. I reckon the Zubi deal could be done within a week or two and Sesko straight after. We will then need to get rid of the dead wood.

Sky is reporting a minimum of £75m for Sesko with considerable add ons.... makes little sense to me when we could try getting Isak for just a bit more.

Also the folly of going for an overpriced Sesko so early means as usual, we've inflated the market for any striker (actually any player) we go for, especially if we can't seal the deal.

People will smell the desperation mixed with cash on us a mile away. But TBF the former was magnified and made crystal clear by Arteta who allowed us to have the season we just had, so can't blame Sesko for that.

I wish we could just go for Mbeumo and move on. We got a lot more areas we'd need to strengthen in the attack especially if the likes of Wirtz and co are coming to our rivals.
