Julian Alvarez Update
If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.
• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.
The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
@WFAFOOTBALL14 People seeing missed chances as such bad thing. When I see it makes me think he is getting to them similarly like Kai Havertz. Finishing can be better but he is superb fit for us, as he bring dribbling carry and in behind threat.
@7Erzil We would be better with selling both of them imo. Buy both Rogers and Bradley. Money is not a issue and Rogers can be used as 10 a lot when we sell Odegaard ( hopefully we do).
@WFAFOOTBALL14 Usable in both roles. I agree he is better as 10 but we need Odesale. He will bring what I think this team need in both position: ball carry and threat from distance
@jstbrwsng2@nonewthing Its pure logic. Look who is he meeting before doing literally anything geopolitically,who got most money in his takeover/presidency. KGB agent and we all know who created that agency.
Did few good things for Russia only to distract from his actual major business.
@nonewthing Boston Celitc literally won title by shooting as much 3s as possible and playing hard defensively. Its no surprise NBA is hitting all time low viewing
@nonewthing Hence why I wanted United to win EL final. Gives them UCL they buy him and wants to come bcs its UCL. Sad we ended up with worst striker or any team that bought CFs this summer
�� EXCLUSIVE: William Saliba commits future to Arsenal by agreeing new long-term contract. 24yo centre-back entered final 2yrs of previous deal + Real Madrid among suitors. But France int’l wanted #AFC stay & expected to sign in coming days @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/rXHsN2hwhi
@billycarpy The way he operates as in last two games is making me think that him at CAM, who would operate on both sides depending on situations would be interesting. He literally makes our RHS/LHS more fluid.
@njabulo_ng85208@Emzyl_ Having Odegaard over Eze/Ethan even Vieira as main creator lowers our chance creation. Odegaard doesn't take risks and his crossing/passing isnt on level needed. Not to mention how predictable he is bcs he has only 1 working leg. Zubi/Rice/Eze midfield with Kai as CF 🔑
