Ok fuck this guy
I can see him saying he’ll stay and be awkward with a deal to Barca taking place in January
lorddulaarsenal I think he'll go to Barca by the deadline.
Stop listening to all of these Barca media mouthpieces. They always do this. If Alvarez comes here, he will want to come here. If he doesn’t then we move on. I believe he would make us better so I want him and I have faith that Arteta wouldn’t take a player that doesn’t want to be here. Looking forward to this window ending so we can move on, hopefully with an additional attacker or two.
Alvarez isn’t even here and it’s a circus. And he’s not that good to warrant a circus.
Screw him.
Barca cant afford him. Spanked their money on Gordon. He can't go there, he should fire his agent
mikautadze is v good
omg simeone is such a lousy loser
same thing both him and atletico doing when they conceded a penalty at the metropolitano
moaning away entire squad, 2 yellows and a red
Great strike from Gakpo , he is very underrated. Smokin Joe Willock though !
GooneriC Gakpo , he is very overrated
FTFY
Did Alvarez get a good reception when he came on?
Mirth
Nope
Barca bid 100m euros paid over 6 years btw, atletico brought him for 90m
Qwiss don't think so their CEO came out again today and reiterated stance against barca
he's done that before too, no way he'll cut his nose
also optics - atletico host cl 2027 final, they don't want to be seen as a feeder club to barca/madrid
Qwiss I don’t. Atletico isn’t about to sell to Barca after the Griezmann stuff and how they handled their initial bid for Alvarez. They strike me as a club more likely to make him sit for a year than sell to Barca. It just feels like Alvarez is going to concede that the Barca dream is over this week and he’s going to move here. The scenes today look like a bridge too far to get over IMO.
Sicario2 I’d take him as a Martinelli replacement. Looks a hot prospect
Gunner89 he's not staying with them. Atletico fans will destroy him if he goes to Barcelona
samthegooner agree with this but I'm not sure I even want him. Too much drama for a player that barely raises our levels
tazmania I don’t trust the Spanish media for an instant with any of these stories. I also am of the belief that a rising tide moves all boats and get him in this changing room and he will be good. And if he decides he doesn’t want to then totally fine. Lest we forget that Kun Aguero was desperate to join Madrid and when they wouldn’t sell him to Real, went to City and became a legend. I have the utmost faith in our club and Arteta and if they want him, I do too. I can guarantee I won’t be thinking of any of this stuff if he comes and scores a beauty against Chelsea in his first appearance.
Simeone DIDN'T want to call up Julián Álvarez today. It has been a direct order from Gil Marín to subject the player to a "humiliation therapy" in front of the Metropolitano. The goal is clear: make the fans boo him, wear him down psychologically so that he gets fed up and ends up accepting any offer away from the club, including Arsenal's.

Lmao
JazzG signing a guy who's options are arsenal or psychological torture doesn't seem like the start to a prosperous relationship
Well now that its clear they want him out we should definitely lowball them
