@HandofArsenal My question is, are we going to get the player if so how far are we to securing him. Can you also comment on the swap deal for Gyokorez and Julian
Julian Alvarez
- From my last update, every single point still remains true
- Arteta sees Julian as a major marquee transformational signing
- There are direct fresh contacts between the ownership at Arsenal and Atleti regarding a possible transfer. There is still a gap in the valuation of the Argentine. Story with @LucaBendoni
- Again, respect to every journalist and their work, but I remain adamant that the player is open to a move to North London IF his dream move to Barca fails
- Atleti remain adamant they will not sell to Barca but my understanding is Barca will engage in talks for one final attempt post World Cup.
- A deal remains difficult but it has not deterred Arsenal from trying to position themselves for an opportunity to sign a top tier forward should Atleti sanction a sale.
- Berta is currently in the capital of Madrid with his family. One source said he has also taken the opportunity to meet with Atleti officials directly but I am waiting on further confirmation on this.
Bruno G
- My understanding is club to club talks have NOT taken place except a phone call from Newcastle asking Arsenal about their stance, which didnโt clarify anything between the parties.
- Berta is still wanting Kia to handle all the negotiations until / if a fair valuation can be reached between BOTH parties.
- Newcastle are aiming to secure a fee within the ยฃ80-ยฃ85m range as a minimum
- Bruno is fully sold on the project and is awaiting his agents and Kia to handle the situation respectfully.
Rogers
- Currently I am not obliged to update on this current file, when I can I will be sure to explain things in detail.
- People at Arsenal maintain he is the top target for the winger / central attacker role
- For now, all I can say is Spurs showed some interest but as of today Morganโs focus is Arsenal if a deal can be agreed
Others
- I saw reports about the UAE interest in Norgaard, my understanding is that the player wants to stay in London for at least another year if he is able to.
- I also asked contacts at Fenerebace about Jesus who say currently there is no major interest as of TODAY.
- People around the Tzolis deal on both sides expect it to progress soon.
BREAKING โผ๏ธ๐จ If you thought the Daily News audio was bad, listen to this one. Nelson Chamisa is heard confirming, while speaking to someone โin the systemโ, that he is there to block people from going into the streets. He even says that when his own friend, Advocate Thabani Mpofu, proposed that people should go into the streets, he dismissed and rubbished the idea.
What makes this even more shocking is the derogatory manner in which he speaks about a man who stood with him throughout his political career. This is the same Thabani Mpofu who introduced Chamisa to his chambers so that he could become an advocate, represented him for free in the 2018 election case, and reportedly lost clients because of his association with Chamisa.
Yet here is Chamisa, speaking to someone in the system, trashing the very man who stood by him and confirming in his own words that he is there to make sure people do not go into the streets.
Listen to Chamisa in his own words.
Arsenal is not just a set piece team but we play according to how the opponent plays . If you sit back we opt for set pieces , if you play football we attack you and score from open play so choose your type of play wisely
