Arsenal transfers 25/26

Need a CM and goal scorer ideally in the summer.

It’s a bit like pushing the boat out for Ben White last summer. Not so obvious, many in here would disagree, but this is what I want.

I dunno the White Ramsdale stuff was right out of Pep’s cookbook where you start from the foundations.

I’m not saying we don’t absolutely need a CM I just think if I had to choose one going into next season it’s hands down a Laca, Nketiah upgrade.

Note that I never made it a binary thing. Going for Declan Rice does not mean we don’t get the CF in the same window.

I agree, striker should be the #1 priority and surely it is considering both recognised options could be out the door in the summer, Xhaka remains hugely upgradeable but that glaring weakness up top can’t be ignored any longer.

The tactical tweak of playing Xhaka a bit higher up whilst have Partey the deepest has made him less of a liablity, would love to see us sort out both positions but yeah it has to be striker 1st for me

Striker first then CM but realistically we need:

Striker
CM
CB (likely Saliba)
Versatile forward (maybe to replace Pepe)

We need 15-16 field players the manager is comfortable mixing and matching without having to change tactics too much and right now we’ve got 11-12.

Remember we also signed that MLS player who might be used…cant remember his name.

Yeah, Matt Turner. He’ll be the backup GK and hopefully only play in the domestic cups.

no not him…i cant remember his name he is a CB

EDIT …Auston Trusty

From what I have read, there is no plan for him to play at Arsenal, there’s some weird arrangement where he’s going to be loaned out elsewhere in Europe (which I guess is easier once he is technically in the Arsenal organization) and the whole thing is about building more established relationships between Arsenal and the Kroenke’s MLS club. I don’t really understand it but everybody seems confident he’ll never actually wear an Arsenal shirt.

Thats not a real name, you made it up you fraud.

it is real didnt you hear about him in the jan window

Wait until you hear about Cade Cowell, a USA prospect at forward. He is definitely a real human and not a made up person.

Nope, it’s literally an invented name, he doesnt exist and you can’t convince me otherwise.

So what, cos you quickly made a youtube video I’m meant to belive that Aaron Trustworthy actually exists?

That thumbnail is just William Saliba, I’m not a fucking idiot m8.

Clearly a PES regen from that picture.

aftv was talking about him too…maybe he is a dupe have to wait and see

Am I alone in wanting him to have a run with us during preseason?
Surely if we’re getting him we think he’s somewhat good to play in Europe?

saliba…are you drunk looks nothing like him
