Consider it primary targets. If Isak is obtained, it’s assumed that 100M+ is spent, thus having to adjust targets elsewhere.

I know 500M is an absurd expectation, it’s more the player profiles were focused on in those roles.

Let’s say you get 2 signings this window. Which two areas of the pitch are you looking to improve that achieves this interpretation?

1 Buy, 1 Loan.

Some people see the horizon and stop, while others see it as the starting line.

Injuries have been cruel this year. Beyond Ø/Saka, our defense has been slim, yet continued the output as the #1 defense. Truly remarkable what the Arteta and the player have been able to accomplish.

Kudus (Buy) | Versatility, Technical, Explosive, Creativity, Work Rate

Vlahovic | Physical, Clinical, Work Rate, Link Up Play, Mentality

Summer 25/26 Shortlist
- CDM: Zubimendi
- ST: Isak/Sesko/Vlahovic
- LW: Williams/Leao
- DEF: CB/RB

Transfer Policies: Versatility, Character/Mentality, CL Ready

That’s the Arteta way. Stay focused on the task ahead.

This is the squad I wish I was closer to - truly exceptional, think this continues to climb ranks in through January

I can’t help but think this squad is performing quite well with the various injuries. Just stay within striking distance of Liverpool and wait for them to stumble. If we can bring in the right signing(s) in January to elevate the offensive third, we may go on a serious run this spring.

Impressive XI - really like the differentials while maintaining the core template players.

Indeed, the football is played on grass.

The opposite can happen, I.e. Halaand’s run of fixtures. We know what he’s capable of, but, I don’t see people calling it unlucky. They’re simply saying poor form.

Rotten business.
