The biggest newsletter yet.
First, a discussion of what qualities are most important to evaluate in a striker, and which will succeed at Arsenal.
Then, deep-dives on Šeško, Gyökeres, and dozens of other targets based on fit, movement, physicality, projected usage, and yes, goal potential.
Enjoy.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Here's my 8,000+ word profile on Arsenal's likely midfield signing: his fit, function, defensive game, physical profile, press resistance, passing range, untapped skills, and potential to transform Arsenal. Reads and shares are appreciated. ❤️

Goal #1 = free-kick after Saka carried central
Goal #2 = free-kick after Saka carried central
Goal #3 = Merino goal after Rice+MLS got it central
"Risky" against some of the most deadly transition attackers of all-time. But you gotta get it in dangerous places to dangerous things.

American officials in Greenland went door-to-door to find people willing to be photographed with Usha Vance. No takers. Which is wise – who wants to look like a collaborator?

🔥 My new Arsenal tactical long-read is up.
I looked at why Arsenal thrived against PSV and struggled in familiar ways against Manchester United, beyond the obvious. Specifically: the differences in attacking back-fours and back-fives, how to create space — and what can be done next.
