Andrea Berta’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2025 FC

[KrissKringle]

@KrissKringle both of them are red flags, if Gyökeres fail its a bigger problem than Šeško. I'm not convinced by either of them.

If you know how to play the former he's going to score. The latter is a bigger gamble even if he would have been cheaper, because we're trying to win trophies next season and he's nowhere near the finished article, so relying on a raw kid that's barely shaking the earth in the Bundesliga as your main striker is a disaster waiting to happen.

Need a left field option.

He's not getting that space he's getting in the Portugese league. Watch some of the goals he score, and barely any headers, only three?

I can talk about Sesko too, as I said, not convinced by either. Think it's funny people here simping and shaking their hips for either, the only player I'm doing that for, beginner level shaking is Isak.

This is more important than a striker. Gyökeres or Sesko, who cares this debate is boring, both of them red flags khalas. Give me a left winger demon.

Gyokeres scores for fun in a team like Liverpool, for example. That would be on the manager to play the striker to his strengths, but Arteta will continue with his bs slow build-up where there's almost no movement and we predictably ship it out to the wingers, then hoping something happens.

Isak is a semi crock, so that would be a financial disaster too once he gets injured for a couple of months throughout the season.

He can't play the way Arteta wants him too, and by that I mean until the wheels fall off.

I'm loving our transfer window so far!! Best keep the powder dry for the new manager next summer, especially when we know we're in for a carbon copy of the revolting season that just elapsed last month.

You're contradicting yourself with that argument. I'm assuming Arteta won't make any major tactical changes. So why would I want Gyökeres? I'd much rather go for a player who fits our style of play, because Arteta isn’t going to change anything just to accommodate Gyökeres. But with Šeško though, you're paying for potential.

Isak is also a risk I agree, but if we manage to rotate him with Havertz, we could cover for him when he's not at 100%. But will Arteta rotate enough? Doubt it so I agree with you. But putting injuries aside, in terms of pure talent, you know exactly what you're getting with Isak no doubt.

As I said in the post above, this striker debate is boring. LW is the one position we got to get right based on the way we play.

So, if Gyokeres flops, it is Arteta's fault.
If Šeško flops, it is Šeško's fault.
Makes sense, doesn't it.

He speaks BS.
Both Gyokeres and Šeško have many red flags.

At least with Šeško you know that he will improve, he is only 22 and his ceiling is higher than Gyokeres'.
Gyokeres is what is, he won't improve.

If Arsenal wants proper striker who is ready now, they should go for Osimhen.

My point is that Arteta is too stubborn to have a plan B, or C, so he'll try to square peg in a round hole his way of playing, which is why our trophy cabinet has been catching dust for 5 years now.

If you have two strikers that are of different profiles, then you get to change the tactics depending on the opponent. Sesko and Havertz are similar profiles and it's depressing to think that you have one of them on the bench when you're desperately looking for a goal.

As far as LW goes, I'm of the opinion that whoever comes will struggle just as much on that side due to limited space to operate in and no overlap from the LB, so I'd rather focus on changing the way we play than getting a new shiny toy only to find out that the tactics have been the problem all along in getting the best out of that flank.

Makes sense, doesn't it.

If Sesko flops, it's also Arteta's fault, because he brought in a raw player as our main striker.

Makes sense if you're not chatting nonsense, like you are.

How do you think that's going to work? Arteta isn’t going to change anything, the players the club reportedly has as top targets are proof of that. I just don't see any logic in your reasoning. We've played more or less the same way for two seasons, and he’s not going to change, you know that. Why are you then simping for Gyökeres I can't understand. You should stay away and only be in the Arteta out thread.

As for your second point, I completely disagree. I definitely think that bringing in a better left winger would improve our entire attacking game. No doubt about it.

Hey man, if you can't see the logic, then I can't say it any better than I already did.

I also disagree with what you say about the LW, but whatever.
