Arsenal fans, do you agree with that last text? Are you having a poor transfer window?
There's still over two months to go until the window closes on 1 September!

The team not having a good transfer window so far is Arsenal. Their number one priority was at least one striker, maybe even two. With options so limited, it's frustrating as an Arsenal fan that so far they've signed a goalkeeper, in advanced talks with a backup DM and who knows what's going on with Zubimendi. I've seen this film before and it usually means Arsenal end up with nobody.

Ronaldo to extend Al-Nassr staypublished at 09:16 British Summer Time

The 40-year-old Portugal captain's deal was due to expire at the end of June, but sources indicate a two-year extension is close to being finalised.
Ronaldo posted on social media "the chapter is over" following the Riyadh club's final Saudi Pro League game of the season last month, leading to speculation he was set to leave.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino then raised the prospect of him joining a team involved at the Club World Cup, but Ronaldo turned down offers from participating clubs.

If Mikel is buying Norgaard rather than Zubimendi then I think it’s good business. It’ll save some cash which can be spent on a striker, which is desperately needed. If Mikel is trying to buy both then I’m a confused Arsenal fan.

Norgaard could partner Zubimendipublished at 08:59 British Summer Time

Image source, Getty ImagesChristian Norgaard would also fit perfectly with Martin Zubimendi, if he signed. They can even play together if Arteta opts for two holding players and one 10, instead of one anchor and two number eights.
Zubimendi is more of a passer and creator. Christian is more a break-up play midfielder who can regain possession, secure possession and stop the opposition from easily breaking into the final third.
I feel Arteta is making sure he will have enough strength in the midfield area to compete in all four competitions.

I may be showing a little bias here but I'm delighted with Liverpool's signings so far, I would have to put them out in front in terms of business done. Although it's definitely not the signing Gunners fans are desperate for, Norgaard is a shrewd signing in my opinion, if they get two good seasons at the same level he's been playing at then, £15m is a bargain.

Norgaard 'great addition' for Arsenalpublished at 08:45 British Summer Time
Edu Rubio
Former West Ham and Wolves first-team coach
Image source, Getty ImagesNorgaard is a modern defensive-anchor player. There's no doubt he can rival Partey, or offer more options to Arteta - offering him more depth in his squad. Christian can break up play, intercept, tackle, block and win aerial duels. He can let Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice do their thing while he protects their backs.
He can also recycle the ball and play forwards effectively. In a league where there are so many transitions, a player who senses danger and has a great ability to regain the ball can be a must-have in your team. His physicality, and the fact it's been tested at the Premier League, also makes him a very sensible signing. He can be a great addition to Arsenal.
Norgaard different to Parteypublished at 08:38 British Summer Time

While Christian Norgaard offers his own well of experience, it would not be a like-for-like replacement for Thomas Partey should he depart.
The Ghanaian offers more dynamism carrying the ball in central areas, whereas the Dane is more of a traditional six, screening for danger in front of Brentford's defence.
As a result, Partey's average carrying stats comfortably surpass those of Norgaard, who is more prolific at breaking up opposition attacks.

Let's get a debate going - who has been making the best noises in the transfer window so far?
Is it Manchester City and their early business?
Arsenal with two midfielders and a goalkeeper?
Liverpool with an expensive blockbuster signing?
Or another club?
It's all been very quiet at Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa...
Get in touch using the details above and let us know your thoughts.
What will Norgaard bring to Arsenal?published at 08:25 British Summer Time
Matthew Hobbs

Image source, Getty ImagesNorgaard's record shows why he is highly regarded by the top teams.
The 31-year-old has just completed his sixth successive season at the Gtech Community Stadium, including all four of the Bees' Premier League campaigns.
Since his top-flight debut in 2021, Norgaard has made 201 interceptions – the most of any Premier League player during this period – while he also ranks second overall for recoveries (844) and third for tackles won (189).
Not necessarily renowned for goalscoring, six goals in all competitions in 2024-25 was also the best return of his entire 14-year professional career.
Arsenal agree Norgaard dealpublished at 08:19 British Summer Time

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal have agreed a deal with Brentford to sign midfielder Christian Norgaard.
BBC Sport sources have indicated the Gunners have been discussing a fee worth in the region of an initial £10m, with a possible £5m in performance-related add-ons.
The move for Norgaard comes just a week before Thomas Partey's Arsenal contract expires.
Ghana midfielder Partey, 32, has been in talks over a new deal to stay at Emirates Stadium, but no agreement has been reached.
It's understood manager Mikel Arteta identified Norgaard as the midfielder he wanted because he preferred a Premier League-ready player.
