Kickball silly season: More -gaard to Arsenal

Posted by SurfTheBoneyard <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=SurfTheBoneyard' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on June 25, 2025, 16:28:00

Brentford’s DM and captain Christian Norgaard coming over for 10m pounds plus add ons to take the third spot behind Rice and Zubimendi. Likely signals a Partey exit which is fine given his age, wage and “entanglements.” Norgaard becomes current oldest member of squad at 31. Not a marquee signing but a sensible depth one.

Also Mamdani is a Gooner.

Chelsea getting close to Hato and Simons. Would be two nice signings *

Ekitike to LFC sounds like a done deal

And even after all the signings so far, reports are they are still in serious talks with Guehi and now there are even rumors they are nosing around Rodrygo. Even factoring in the likelihood they sell Diaz, and assuming they also can get a decent transfer fee for Nunez, it still seems like a really big outlay, way more than they’ve ever spent under current ownership.

I don’t know where they are getting all the money they are splashing this off-season, but I’m not complaining. There’s no salary cap, and nobody gives trophies for most points per million pounds spent. So I’d much rather see them being aggressive and using the cash they have rather than just giving the owners a bigger profit margin. As long as they don’t spend so much that they’ll have no flexibility going forward, then more signings is better, IMO.

I really like Diaz, so I'd rather not see him leave. That said, they are bringing in some exciting pieces.

I still think there is a great striker hiding inside of Nunez somewhere, but like you said, if LFC can get a massive fee foe him, you have to strike while the iron is hot.

I'd imagine there is a plan to sell Chiesa on as well.

Will be interesting seeing all the new pieces next season.

This is the second team currently

Trossard - Havertz - Madueke
Merino ————— Nwaneri
———— Norgaard
Calafiori - Kiwi - Mosquera - White
————- Kepa

This is badly needed depth. Trossard could be sold, Eze could be bought and then it’s Martinelli on the left wing.

Madueke is 23 with terrific npXG/shot volume and ball carrying nerdstats. On FBRef, the 5 closest comps are Garnacho, Harvey Barnes, Luis Diaz, Martinelli, and Ademola Lookman. Sane and Gakpo are also in the top 10 comps.

I think there's some possible real upside to the move and even if he just stays what he's always been that's a pretty good squad/rotation player.

Rodrygo isn’t happening most likely.

And if it’s not him, not too many LW available capable of being an upgrade on Martinelli.

Hello, is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you.

I think 1, 3, and 4 are a given and at LW it looks like Trossard is probably on his way out

Which at that point I think would force them into signing a LW. I guess if they sign Madueke/Eze somewhat early that gives them some flexibility and a chance to maybe wait out the Rodrygo situation.
