Every single transfer window, it’s the same story: Arsenal are linked with yet another Chelsea reject.
Seriously—it's becoming exhausting, even nauseating.
We’ve barely moved on from the disastrous signing of Raheem Sterling last summer with his underwhelming performances, and now we’re reportedly looking at Kepa Arrizabalaga, a goalkeeper who cost Chelsea £70 million and failed to justify even half of that price tag. And why? Because we’re bargain hunting again.
The Excuse: “We Just Need a Backup Goalkeeper”
Let’s be fair for a moment. Yes, we need a backup goalkeeper. And no, it doesn’t make sense to spend a fortune on someone who’s just going to sit behind David Raya. But surely, there are more affordable, reliable goalkeeping options out there than the man Chelsea themselves are desperate to move on from?
Does our scouting network stretch no further than across London to Stamford Bridge?
Arsenal’s Transfer Strategy Is Becoming Predictable—and Concerning
This isn’t about overreacting to one rumor. It’s about a growing pattern that fans have noticed for years.
Arsenal are increasingly behaving like a club that cleans up after Chelsea’s mistakes. From Willian to Jorginho, now potentially Kepa—the club is beginning to look more like a recycling center for Chelsea’s unwanted squad players than a top Premier League contender.
What’s more troubling is the perception that somehow these players will suddenly become world beaters the moment they walk through the doors at London Colney. It almost never works that way. If a player couldn’t make the grade at Chelsea, why would they be a solution for a side trying to win the big trophies?
Where Is the Scouting? Where Is the Ambition?
The bigger issue lies in the lack of forward-thinking strategy.
Where’s the clever recruitment? Where are the data-driven, high-upside signings we see from clubs like Brighton, Brentford, or even Aston Villa?
Why aren’t Arsenal identifying hungry, undervalued talents before they become cast-offs at rival clubs?
As a club with Arsenal’s stature, we should be setting the tone in the market—not scrambling to pick up what others have already discarded.
A Message to the Board: Stop the Pattern
Why do we keep making the same mistake over and over again?
Is the board truly so out of touch with the sentiments of the fan base that they think we’ll cheer for another ex-Chelsea squad player wearing red and white?
So here’s a sincere plea to Andreas Berta and the entire Arsenal hierarchy:
➡️ Please, steer clear of Chelsea’s unwanted players.
We wouldn’t mind a backup goalkeeper from the Championship, or even an unknown gem from Scandinavia. What we don’t need is another bloated wage, low-impact signing who couldn’t cut it elsewhere.
Arsenal Deserves Better
We deserve better.
Mikel Arteta deserves better.
And frankly—the Club
deserves better
