I think Bruno probably gets done, not sure about Vini, as there is too much that is out of our hands.
But if we can't get Bruno, we should go and slap a British transfer record bid down for Alex Scott, no messing around - totally different approach to the deal for a totally different age profile (so no excuses).
With how long we have spent on this Bruno Guimaraes pursuit, how much time we have invested, and how annoyed the fanbase would be, Arsenal better be prepared to pivot FAST if we can't get the deal done this week.
@jossy_phine1 They got too comfortable with the Arsenal from when we were paying off the Emirates and running on a shoestring. They forgot that was the exception and not the rule for this football club. Now we are back and they are terrified
I'm more concerned about missing out on Bruno G because of the time we've spent on that one we'll need to pivot FAST - Vini is actually less pressure in a way, we didn't know it was serious until a few days ago and were always the underdog in that battle.
The LW market being what it is, it might be a better move just to keep Martinelli in that scenario.
I'll all for buying Alvarez on two conditions
1. Doesn't impact our pursuit of Vini if that's still active at the time
2. Does NOT involve getting rid of GyΓΆkeres either in exchange or in general this window
Barcelona are preparing to launch a new Β£111million bid for Julian Alvarez despite Atletico Madrid having no intention of selling, according to reports in Spain. π
Should Arsenal go back in for the Argentine international at the same price? π΄
We were two PKs in a shootout away from winning the CL a few weeks ago and have improved year on year in the competition for three years now so saying ''never'' about that is bottom-tier Twitter banter not analysis.
We might not win four in a row, but if we do I wouldn't count it if we were bankrolled by a nation-state and broke multiple financial rules (and guess what, neither would everyone else - funny how that works)
@Salibasexual02@siphillipssport 100% - it has PR move written all over it, they can never resist the chance to 'beat Arsenal' to a signing and what better way to show fake ambition than match the targets of the reigning champions. But they spunked their whole budget and are now shopping bargain basement.
