Julian Alvarez at Arsenal would be amazing, can't believe it will happen though.
Would much prefer him to Gyokeres or Osimhen or anyone else for that matter.
I think Alvarez would be an upgrade on Jesus but not much of one. I think he’s a very patchy player. And no way will Pep allow City to sell him to us, two years ago I don’t think he took us seriously as contenders and I think he does now. Not that I blame him, I would think the same (wouldn’t sell a player to major title contender)
Agree Alvarez is patchy but if he wasn't too pricey could be worth a go
Apparently Marseille have lost interest in Eddie, typical really, we were asking too much for him
It occurs to me that whilst as I said we should have bitten their hand off to accept the original offer. We are probably in a position, where due to FSR we are looking to get as much as possible to allow us to spend. If we don’t sell him, our chances of bringing in a striker are nil
But some money, plus getting Eddie's wages off the books, is better than none, we can't carry Eddie for another season it's unthinkable for a team trying to win the title
His wages will be a lot less than most others of the club are on.
But I don’t know. My understanding is that Edward had agreed personal terms with Marseille already (which seems to be common in this day and age, maybe it always was). I would imagine though it’s more than simply not wanting to be seen as a soft touch (which feels like a very online accusation)
Who knows, I think we should accept what we’ve been offered but then again, the devil is in the small print you will almost certainly see it as “an offer worth” it depends if it will be an initial loan with obligation to pay up next summer etc. There’s a lot of creative accountancy that goes on to make sure clubs don’t face points deductions etc
If he was a regular starter it would help him be more consistent.
That's something he doesn't get at City.
I doubt they will sell him to anyone, least of all Arsenal.
