Andrea Berta’s Truthful Transfer Targets: Sunmer 2026

[grange]

At what point do we start getting concerned about the lack of news? We haven’t even made a bid for anyone yet.

I hope we wait a bit longer so you guys get more angry and thirsty.

Thirsty for what?

The club is obsessed with value for money, but in the wrong way.

It's why we rather pay a bit less and not have players in for pre season under the context you've described.

Coming from a position of strength for Arsenal likely means "we get to save money" and not "we get to be ready before everyone ".

Not true tbf. Last summer we will miles apart in valuation for Madueke but Chelsea needed badly to sell before the deadline to comply with FFP and we immediately helped to cough up the amount they wanted.

We even flew him straight from the club world cup to Colney so we can have him for pre-season.

If there’s nothing happening by July 27, we need to start having some serious conversations about plate boy.

In before people telling us how much of the transfer window we have left, even though it ignores the fact that having players ready for a full pre season is important.

We may start the first 4-5 games of the season without Saka and Rice. We need to bring in quality who will be 100% ready on that first PL game.

We can’t do this last minute reactionary crap we used to do under Gazidis which has carried through to even today.

Last summer we signed Gyokeres Eze Hincapie really late into the window IIRC.

Both Saka and Rice will start first game. There’s 4 weeks between the wc final and Coventry game


I think the next two weeks we will focus on Konsa. After that let’s see if there are any bargains. Trossard been replaced by Tzolis already

Garnacho is available, you know.....

 

[El Duderino]

Far be it from me to trust the club over transfer, but if England/France/Argentina (on the Alvarez off chance) get knocked out this week and you don't see movement in the following 7 or so days after that, than by all means start sounding the alarm bells.

Would be a lot worse if we were getting linked to a bunch of Tzolis, rather than guys still playing the tournament.

Would be funny if they didn’t sign anyone and we went on to win the league twice in a row.

The crybabies will be moaning all season again though.

@The Ducking Duck Arteta wants to fvck Alvarez, doesn’t he?

Don't show this tweet to Ode.... Too late he in cradle position thumb in mouth

 

[sdotzdot]

Alvarez/Kroupi and Rogers/Tzolis then we are cooking.

Timing doesn't matter so long as the right signings are made. Alvarez is a whole saga in itself which is worth waiting for, considering he is the best attacker in the market this window. Then taking into account the world cup of course it is a strange summer.

I'll be more worried if the quality of signings is poor, over the timing. Just need to wait and see what happens but have to be optimistic considering the position we are in both in footballing and financial terms there's no reason to not get top signings done. I'm sure we will.

Possible when we are fully healthy, but do you want to see that style of play again?

Is Gabriel Jesus really trying to hold us hostage? Why is this bum still here?

If you guys offer him the Trump Card Visa thing he might actually move to the MLS.

That's not what happened. They would of sold for 45m or maybe less but we wanted to pay it off over 5 years so we paid more. Helped their FFP, helped our cash flow. Helped us sign more players that window. Because we only spent 10m on Madueke that season

It also means when we're making way more money in 3-5 years time, the 10m per season will be much less of a percentage outgoing

It's essentially a 35m transfer for us if you understand the time value of money

Just waiting to fake an injury to avoid getting binned to the Madagascar league

 

[Batman]

Hearing Xabi Alonso say Garnacho has interest from another club sent a f*cking chill down my spine.

 

[Trilly]

Why is he looking at me like that?

****ing Berta is ruining my summer I swear

Does Alvarez outscore Havertz at Arsenal?

 

[Trilly]

Coming from a position of strength for Arsenal likely means "we get to save money" and not "we get to be ready before everyone ".

This is a nice summary of the club’s mentality.

I feel they’re obsessed with getting the best deal and winning some kind of ‘best run club’ award that must exist and we just haven’t heard of it.

Does Alvarez outscore Havertz at Arsenal?

Nope, i wanted Alvarez ngl but Kroupi would be the better investment. Dont think Alvarez scores enough.
