Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread
So far our new signings have been gash. ok, so we signed a striker which is something we never had so if he's any good remains to be seen. Have to give that one some time, but other than Zubimendi who imo is an upgrade on what we had all we've done is change the face of what we had and that's not good enough.

Do you mean in how they have played so far in preseason or in a more general the perceived quality of the signings Midz?Midz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 8:40 pmSo far our new signings have been gash. ok, so we signed a striker which is something we never had so if he's any good remains to be seen.

I haven't bothered watching really any of the preseason games because I just needed a break from football tbh (or maybe just a break from Temu Pep's tippy tappy wannabe Wengerball) so can't comment on how they've played so far. But in general I never put much stock in preseason.
As for the perceived quality of the signings.... well, none of them are currently considered world class, but Gyogi Bear is a highly rated enough striker, and Zubidubidoo is well thought of in general.
I think I'm happy enough to wait and see how their game develops with us. Fingers crossed this combination of players might just be magic. Who knows.
Hopefully we won't be cùnting them all by mid October!


I just wish we had gotten rid of Captain Invisible because I think whilst he is around Temu Pep won't be able to resist picking him and he is the main cause of last season's reverting to tippy tappy on the pitch I think. Of course it's also likely that Mikel Wenger II wants him to play like that, which is even worse, because then the problem is not the symptoms but rather the overall disease.
