Non-Arsenal Transfers: Summer 2025

[MikelHadADream]

Liverpool. well done. Strengthened after winning.

We had an opportunity to do the same and instead took two windows off.

Show ambition and offer 110m for Isak.

We’ve never won either lol

 

[albakos]

How did we get €35m for Balogun? Or £30m for Nketiah?

How is Oxlade Chamberlain still our biggest ever sale at only €38M?

Our players aren’t as good as we generally think they are…

Wirtz is not a £130 million player, but it's a sign of intent from Liverpool to show that they are here to stay. It's vanity buy if we are honest with ourselves. I'm not a hater and I am jealous, but paying a PL record fee for a player who has suffered TWO ACLs is nuts. It could very well end in tears. Let's see who they buy to replace Nunez. If it's Isak then we are ****£d.

According to Transfermarkt he had 1 ACL, not 2.
In 2022.

This club never shows ambition.
Everybody knew that we had to buy more attackers last summer, we did nothing.
I don't include Sterling, he was panic buy which failed.

Don’t think anyone is including Sterling

Baffling indeed. I bet Chelsea and City have sold Academy players or failed rejects for more.

Partly but I also think we don’t flip players at the right time. Take Jesus, we should have done all we could to sell him last season but those at the club thought he was “a top 5 number 9 in European football” when it was obvious he wasn’t. Same goes for Nelli, we’re no football experts or anything of the sort but even during his best season for us a couple on here were getting stick for being skeptical whether it was sustainable. When you strip Nelli off his G/A, in terms of attributes…what really is there?

The way to get some of those big fees (within Europe) is to sell when they’re actually performing rather than tanking their value and getting rid but that requires some big decision making which I don’t think we’re at the stage to do with our first XI. The notable one was Ramsdale but we need a few more.

Yeah, this is all true.

We also pay players handsomely and create an amazing environment for them. 150k a week, house in Hadley Wood, access to London, play for a internationally recognised club. Hard to shift guys in this situation.

Since transfer fee's exploded in the mid 2010's, I think anyone "good" we've had has been in this situation.

Also do think that we've just not had many players the other big playing clubs would want in this period.

G. Jesus is good example, he should have been sold last summer and another player should have been bought.
He was excellent for Arsenal before his injury in Qatar (December 2022), after that his form fell off a cliff and another injuries came.
We almost tripled his salary when he came from City (from 90k per week to 260k per week according to Capology)
Was it necessary?
Wasn't it enough to double his salary?
Now we're stuck with him until next summer, he would recover from ACL injury in winter, therefore we won't be able to sell him in January.

KDB to Napoli, here we go!

How will Inaki Cana cope with this news?

We'll do the usual and terminate his contract by paying him the remainder with a discount.

So city have officially signed Reijnders from Milan.

Watched some videos of him and he looks impressive just like Vitinha he will be one to watch out for next season that’s for sure.

He is excellent player.
He should replace KDB (who goes to Napoli), but he is not this level, not yet.

What the hell is wrong with his face.

Because we became really sh*t the moment football inflation took place.

I asked chatgpt how much fabregas would have cost in 2025:

Realistic Football Market Estimate:​

• €35m in 2011 ≈ €80m–€100m in today’s market, depending on position, club, and age.
