Some of us Gooners are frustrated by Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Fulham. We had a golden opportunity to narrow the gap between us and table toppers Liverpool to 4 points. After that game, Arsenal now trails the Reds by 6 points, despite the Reds having played one fewer game.
One argument is that Arsenal failed to take advantage of the summer transfer window and caused all their problems.
The players that Arteta reportedly tried to sign in 2024:
Šeško, Isak, Vlahović, Neto, Raphinha, Hato, Guehi, Guimaraes, and Mudryk, and of couse we succeded in getting Calafiori, Merino and Raya.
He knows what Arsenal needs, and in 2025 he needs to go for those he thinks are perfect for his team. Having said that, if you were to meet Mikel Arteta in person, which players would you advise him to target?
I would advise him to pursue a deal for Isak, which could potentially reach up to £105 million. Additionally, he should contemplate signing a dynamic winger like Nico Williams, who is available for approximately £43 million. Williams could, at left wing, offer what Saka does from the right wing; Isak could be the goal threat the Arsenal attack has been yearning for.
After upgrading the attack, I’d advise him to add another creative midfielder, Julian Brandt. Brandt is to be a free agent in 2026; we can convince him to leave Dortmund next year. His on-ball ability to retain possession and get past defenders via dribbles could be what Arsenal is yearning for.
With those deals, I’d look for us to play this lineup.
Nico – Isak – Saka
Odegaard – Brandt
Calafiori – Rice – Timber
Gab – Saliba
Raya
If all these players can stay fit (with a better bench for rotation), this team could be too hot to handle.
Last summer Arsenal had the chance to go to the next level, but failed to strengthen our attack, and that’s why Chelsea and Liverpool have a chance to compete with us, but next year Arteta must make sure he has better options up front to choose from.

I would suggest KSE sign five referees.
Those players would be massive.
1. Gyokeres
2. Nico Williams
3. Zubimendi
Nwaneri will grow next season to be a capable Ogegaard deputy
CorporateMan,
That’s never going to happen.
Nico William = 1 league goal this season
Isak = 6 league goals this season
that is not form a PL winning magic wand
in fact cumulatively less than the current underperforming incumbents
that is £200m quid on your three additions that guarantees nothing, on that form may be even going backwards
We have to sell before we buy so perhaps an article on potential sales would be more appropriate at this stage of the season.Personally, I fail to understand why we bought, Merino and indeed Calafiori neither of whom have the pace to be successful in the EPL.
Will Arteta still be in charge come the summer transfer window ?
If he gives us one of the two major trophies then he should. I feel we are out of one so time will tell.
To be perfectly honest with you, I’m not sure Arteta deserves to be here this summer if he doesn’t win a major trophy this year.
Save your breath guys, Arteta is here next season and thereafter trophy or no, so long Arsenal are in the CL
You heard it here first
You seem to be a corporate man
👍🏻 👊🏻
Can Arteta stop his experiments and being stubborn and just buy these two lethal strikers: Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, if he wants the EPL trophy. He must also stop bring all these flops and done and dusted players from the rival clubs especially from Chelsea and Man City, just stop it. He must feel for us and this hard-working team, or else they will leave for clubs that wins trophies.
Get Isak and Gyokeres…Isak on the left snd Gyokeres as CF..
If possible which exactly is: Bring in Isak,Yildiz and Nico,and Reiss back.
Send back Raheem,do way with zinchenko and Jesus.
Add the Barcelona starlet and let’s go
