Alejandro Garnacho - Manchester United 2024-25 compared to Bukayo Saka - Arsenal 2021-22 Again, maybe I am trying to talk myself into this one not being the worse idea... Not everyone who has this at 20 turns into Saka but it's not a bad thing to be similar to him.

If you're gonna dunk on the players I think being accurate would be helpful Hojlund ranked 55th in underperformance Jackson 13th Nunez 91st There were many players much worse and a bigger factor but this will get people made I guess or wanting to laugh at them.

Martín Zubimendi - Spain 2024-25 Central Midfield radar There is a hypothesis that Zubi's stats are suppressed playing for Sociedad and I wanted to do a quick and dirty test using his Spain apps. It's not perfect given National Team is a different kind of game but it does at least seem plausible.

If Arsenal are targeting a left sided defender I think my preference might be for a player that is a bit more classic fullback that can overlap and hold width. Arsenal have MLS who can invert, Calafiori who is chaos, Kiwior that’s the CB/back 3 guy. Missing that profile

The average number of players that rise to squad player in my eyes for teams that have played in the PL + CL over the last few years is 16.4 1 GK 3 FB 3 CB 4 MF 3 AM 2 FW There is an argument that Arsenal are a healthy forward away from having the required depth already

Gentlemen's agreements of a "reasonable" fee are seemingly having a bad summer with both Sesko and Gyokeres having one and the team selling them still doing the dance to up the price as much as possible.

Gabriel Jesus - Arsenal 2024-2025 All Around Forward radar and distribution Premier League I sometimes catch myself thinking "what if there is still something left in the tank here..." Then I snap out of it and get sad

Alejandro Garnacho - Manchester United 2024-2025 Stats Dashboard Maybe I am trying to talk myself into the idea of this move, give him a better environment and he can fufil the potential that is obviously there.

Darwin Núñez, finishing 2021-2022 to 2024-2025

My initial list of strikers (and players that could fill in there) to consider was 9 deep: João Pedro, Matheus Cunha, Ollie Watkins, Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Liam Delap, Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, and Alexander Isak.

I used to make monthly predictions/educated guesses on things related to Arsenal/Soccer and I want to do that again to sharpen my thinking and track how well I actually do on these. Here is June and it is heavily transfer-focused. buff.ly/yksx7CA

Darwin Núñez - Last 4 seasons compared

This was indeed Alejandro Garnacho as some guessed

I don't have any idea how qualifying worked for the Club World Cup and I don't know if I care enough to learn. The mix of teams here don't seem to make a ton of sense to me. I will probably turn the games on during the day while I am working because I am a sicko but still very confused about this.

Taking the name out of it, there would be a lot to like around this player

Darwin Núñez - Liverpool 2024-2025 radar and distribution Premier League Nunez when he can't be the chaos agent isn't nearly as fun of a player. How he was under Slot makes me worry that he would not bang at Arsenal, he needs a different move but I would be excited to see where it could be.

Rafael Leão - Milan 2024-2025 Wide Forward radar and distribution Serie A

My mental odds for Arsenal’s striker signing: Sesko 75% Gyokeres 20% Other guy 5%

Perhaps a hot take, I am coming into next season HIGHER on Ben White than I have in a couple years. Timber is an exquisite player but not quite the final third player that White is. I think Arsenal will have more matches suited towards what White provides and he will be key to Arsenal in 25/26

Declan Rice, finishing 2017-2018 to 2024-2025

It’s not as flashy and exciting as Joan Garcia but Kepa Arrizabalaga is a player that makes a ton of sense for Arsenal. buff.ly/14O4RtF

It's a cost of doing business but still I want to rant just a bit this morning. If you sign up for a free trail and then forget to cancel getting charged, you should be a grown-up and say that is on me and either eat the charge or reach out and ask for a refund.

I thought this was a really good podcast and think Adam did quite well building the Arsenal team for next year - Running the summer business buff.ly/ScLspvb

Turning the Ballon d'Or into the “best” or most well known on the team that wins the Champions League award is a bad idea and is part of the reason this award doesn’t hold much weight for me
