Summary of the summer window: Arsenal signed 8 players, net investment first in Europe! The Gunners are negotiating to renew Saliba

Official: Saliba withdrew from this French national team due to a "sprayed ankle".

Although he withdrew from the national team and was confirmed to be injured, it would be fine if he was just a "spray". I hope he did not injure the ligament or the like.

If Saliba just sprained her ankle, she would probably be able to come back in two weeks, so she would be a rest. There is no news of Saliba's serious injury, and that's good news.

Don't take risks like this again next time, it's too scary. Although Mosquera was ordered to play well in the face of danger, it still depends on Saliba and Gabu to compete for the championship this season.

Arteta attended the post-match press conference, let's take a look at what key issues the Arsenal coach talked about.

About Saliba's situation:

He sprained his ankle while warming up, but he believed that he could continue to stick to the game, but from the first two moves after the game, I could see directly that he could not stick to it, and unfortunately we had to replace him. But thankfully we have Moscarat, and this is the first time we have made him debut in the Premier League. We didn't plan to make Moscra debut at Anfield, but I think he's doing very well.

Arsenal's midfield starter was too conservative? What do you think?

This is our current situation. Odgao was injured, and Havertz was injured. Merino is a player who can do a great job at that position, and we have three offensive players, two offensive fullbacks, and after the game, I think you guys are a bit too lightweight to say that.

Why did the game suddenly change in the second half?

Because this is Anfield, at some point in time, there will be a change. You can't dominate the game at Anfield for 95 minutes, and there will be many ways to make a difference. Especially when our goalkeeper got the ball, we did not make the right decision. We started to act too hasty and did not handle the offense and defense conversion well, so the team could not advance and retreat together as a whole.

Liverpool can create such moments without creating real threats.

Tazi didn't say much at the press conference after the game, and some content has been mentioned in the previous episode, so I won't repeat it. Besides, several days have passed...

Saliba's situation should be further news. At present, it should not be a serious injury. After the game, he can move freely in the player channel, and he should just sprain his ankle.

I think the starting midfield in the first half is too conservative. Although I understand that I want to seek stability first when playing away against Liverpool, it is not feasible for Arteta to move out Odgao and Havertz to explain that it is injured. After all, you still have Eze and Envanelli! Especially after Eze came on the bench, he showed influence in a short time, and his body could start.

As for Liverpool's advantage in the second half, I think it's normal. As Tazi said, this is Anfield after all, and it is unrealistic to have no chance for the opponent's 90 minutes of defense. The problem is that your offense is not done well.

But Arteta blamed the goalkeeper, which I think is a bit of a headache... In fact, Liverpool is in a bad state in this game. McAllister, Ekitic, Salah, and Wilz are all in a very good state. The right-back of the General Indian Flynnon was injured, which was a good opportunity to win.

Although you can still take revenge at home, if the above players recover and the new aid Isaac, it is hard to say that Arsenal will win at home. There is a lot of hope to score points in this game. Now I don’t have any worries, just play the remaining games!

Arshavin IG shows that he returned to the Emirates Stadium and posted: "A little nostalgic."

Gun fans are also nostalgic... They will never forget the winter when they collectively waited for Arshavin to come. The transfer of more than 10 million was like waiting for the savior. The happiness at that time was very simple. Moreover, Chauvin did not disappoint the Gunners. After joining the season, he helped Arsenal return to the top four and qualified for the Champions League!

Chauvin recently went to Anfield and came to Emirates Stadium again. He is quite happy to visit the old place. Come back and take a look!

Let’s take a look at the transfer below!

Official: Arsenal announced that Vieira will join Hamburg on loan for one season.

Viela, 25, joined Arsenal in 2022. So far, he has played in 49 games for the Gunners, of which he has played in 33 games in his first season and contributed 2 goals and 6 assists. In the 2023 Community Shield Cup match, it was Vieira who scored the winning penalty in the penalty shootout, helping Arsenal defeat Manchester City 4-1.

According to the German Sky Sports, Vieira's transaction includes buyout terms, and the buyout fee is more than 20 million euros.

Just have a buyout clause, and I think the price is quite good for more than 20 million euros. The only pity is that it doesn't seem to be a mandatory buyout...

As long as it is not a mandatory, there are variables, let alone what if the Hamburg is relegated...

In fact, Vieira's skills are indeed good, passing is OK, and shooting is also hard, but he really can't adapt to the intensity and confrontation of the Premier League. He has defects in his ability to do it, and his injuries are intermittent. There is no way, so he can only sell it.

In fact, Arteta tried to rescue Vieira and even let him play as the right winger, but his performance was always difficult to satisfy and lacked continuity. Thanks to Vieira for her contribution, but both sides are indeed inappropriate.

Official: Arsenal announced that Loconga has joined Hamburg for transfer.

25-year-old Loconga joined Arsenal from Anderlecht in the summer of 2021. The midfielder played in a total of 39 games for the Gunners, and 24 of them came from his debut season, which was the year that Loconga made his debut for the Belgian national team.

Then, Loconga played for Crystal Palace, Luton Town and Sevilla on loan. Arsenal thanked the midfielder for his contribution and wished him all the best in Hamburg..

Thank you, but to be honest, it was not suitable at the beginning. Luo Kongga should have been sold two years ago, but now it has been forcibly sold...

What everyone is most concerned about is the transfer fee. There is no authoritative statement about specific numbers at present, but he said it is "symbolic" (the German transfer market shows that it is 3 million euros, which is almost the same price). After all, I have sent it away, and it will be the same if I wait for another year. It will be better to sell it early.

Happy future!

Official: Nottingham Forest announced that it had signed Zinchenko on loan from Arsenal.

28-year-old Zinchenko joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022. He has played 91 games for the Gunners so far. Zinchenko is also the youngest captain in Ukraine's history (he became the captain at the age of 24). So far, he has played 74 games for the country, with 12 goals and 7 assists.

DO confirmed that Zinchenko's transaction was a straight loan; and according to London football reporter TC, Nottingham Forest will pay Arsenal a loan fee.

In fact, it was about an hour before closing the window, and there was reliable news that Zinchenko would not leave the team this summer, but unexpectedly, when they woke up, the forest was overwhelmed. After they failed to buy another person, they quickly signed Zinchenko!

It seems that Arsenal doesn't want to wait any longer. Even if he simply rents it, he agreed to the offer. You should know that Zinchenko's contract expires next year, and renting it will be a waste of money...

TC said that there is a loan fee, which is probably also symbolic, and the transaction did not return any funds in the end.

Zinchenko actually performed well in his first season and was also the first full-back who could fully compete with Tazi's left-back's draw tactics. Tierney made way for him directly. To be honest, Zinchenko played an important role in the process of Arsenal's return to the Champions League arena, and he is not useless.

But his performance afterwards is indeed unstable, with strong offense and weak defense too obvious, and often exploded on the left, especially when he was away against Liverpool that season. Zinchenko's poor performance on the wing directly made Arsenal lose key points, which is the eternal pain for gun fans.

But I still wish Zinchenko, especially when evaluating him, don’t add the identity of “Ukrainian” to evaluate him. We are just fans.

Official: Porto announced that he had signed Kiviol from Arsenal.

25-year-old Kiviol has played 68 games for Arsenal so far. He played his bravery in the two-legged match against Real Madrid last season.

The transaction form is to strengthen the mandatory buyout with a transfer fee of 24 million pounds (I still refer to the DO statement. The fixed transfer fee is 25 million euros, plus the maximum floating rate can reach 27 million euros; Romano's statement is that the rental fee is 2 million euros, and the mandatory buyout clause price is 17 million euros. If the floating and the income from the next transfer share clause are included, the fee may reach 25-27 million euros, which is almost the same).

Many gun fans expressed regret for Kiviol's departure, after all, he had just shown signs of enlightenment at the end of last season, and the cost was indeed not high. But at least this deal did not lose money, and it is already the most promising seller Arsenal this summer (mandatory buyout can be regarded as being sold). The others are either free transfers or symbolic fees...

In fact, at Kiviol's level, he can stay in the Premier League. I don't know why he chose Porto... I hope Kiviol can return to the five major leagues in the future!

Official: Brentford announced that he had signed Nelson on loan from Arsenal.

Nelson, 25, joined Arsenal when he was 8 years old. So far, he has played in 90 games for the Gunners, contributing 8 goals and 9 assists, and won the FA Cup championship with the team in 2020.

This will be Nelson's fourth time being loaned out, after he played for Hoffenheim, Feyenoord and Fulham.

It is reported that this transaction contains selective buyout terms.

Nelson's contract expires in 2027. I hope he can be bought out next year and a new chapter will be completely opened.

Nelson was very stunning when he debuted, but unfortunately he failed to realize his talent. The injury was also a reason. He didn't catch up with the good times. Tazi didn't give him a chance in the past few years. He would rather buy Marginhos than use him.

The countdown against Bournemouth in 2023 is enough to make gun fans savor it. At that moment, I felt a little destined. I thought the champion that year won...

blessing!

Official: Arsenal announced that he signed Inkapier on loan from Leverkusen.

23-year-old Inkapier has played more than 100 games on behalf of the team since joining Leverkusen in 2021, and he is a key player in the pharmacy's Bundesliga championship in the 23-24 season. At the national team level, Inkapier has played 46 games for Ecuador so far and has played in the 2022 World Cup with the team.

The official website confirms that Inkapier will wear a No. 5 jersey.

is here! In fact, this is a magical deal. A player of this level actually signed it on the form of an initial loan. Berta is really capable!

news said it was a selective buyout clause, but Leverkusen's news said it was actually a mandatory buyout clause. Many friends speculated that Arsenal operated this way to avoid financial issues. Logically speaking, this possibility is indeed possible.

I can only say that this leverage is beautifully used! This summer’s buyers are so exciting! Welcome to the factory!

Official: Arsenal announced that Lucas Martin Nico will join the Danish second-tier Brabrand IF Club on loan for one season.

Nigga, 19, joined Arsenal after leaving North Zealand last summer and signed his first professional contract on his 18th birthday. The goalkeeper followed the first team to participate in the US tour last summer and played 13 games for the youth team last season.

It feels like if you can't even play in the English Championship at this age, it's a bit unsustainable... Running to the Denmark Second Division to level up is a bit exiled...

And Nigau also has Thetford and Jack Porter in front of it. Not to mention competing with Kepa, it's not easy for him to surpass two young people first..

Try hard!

Arsenal's signings this summer have signed 8 players:

Kepa, Zubimendi, Norgou, Maduaike, Mosquera, Dzekelish, Eze, and Inkapier.

I will no longer pick on this summer. To be honest, I was already satisfied when I bought Zhekelais. I didn’t expect that there were two big fish behind me!

I think among these 8 people, Kepa and Moscla are the most affordable, I am the happiest in the deal with Zhekelais, Eze's deal with the most surprise, because Kapier's deal with the most amazing, Maduaike's deal is the most unexpected, Zubimendi's deal is the most urgently needed (Thomas cannot be replaced without someone).... But don't say, I opposed signing Madu before coming, but after joining, he performed better and better. Considering that Saka is suffering from injuries now, buying him may play a key role.

What else do you want?

The German transfer market released the list of net transfers in European football this summer, with Arsenal ranking first with a net investment of 283 million euros!

Liverpool actually spent more than 400 million, but they also sold a lot, the net investment was not that high, and Chelsea even made a profit... But Arsenal actually spent 283 million. If In Capier was included, it had actually exceeded 300 million. I simply calculated that this did not even include In Capier...

It must be admitted that the opponent is also strengthening, but if you find a reason, you can find it every year, so there is no excuse this season.

gunnerblog stated in TA that negotiations on renewal of Saka and Saliba are still in progress, which are the two major legacy issues that Berta inherited since taking office, and will inevitably be the focus of his work in the next few weeks.

Arsenal is still confident about the two's contract renewal.

This is really something to be done, especially Saliba.

While the carnival this summer, don't forget that Saliba has not renewed his contract yet. His contract expires in 2027, and next year is the contract year. Real Madrid has not walked away... It's just that there is no time to talk about them recently... Real Madrid's behind-the-scenes temptation is very hidden, so be careful!

If the top central defender combination is not dismantled, there is no need to replace it!

gunnerblog said that Zubimendi's deal was finalized before Berta took office. If he had become Arsenal's sports director earlier, the Italians actually had their preferred candidate at the No. 6 position.

The problem is that gunnerblog does not tell us who the candidate is...

gunnerblog This article is very long, and it talks about many issues such as Berta's operational ideas, management reconstruction, etc. I'll talk about it later after I take a break.

The transfer window is over, take a break... I scored 9 points in this summer window. If the seller is more powerful, I will give it 10 directly. People should not be too greedy. If they spend 300 million or not satisfied, then think about the hard days...

But if the seller is not powerful, it will definitely cause the stars to be sold in the next year. This lineup will not last too long, so hurry up and achieve results!
