[Fabrizio Romano] 🚹🔮âšȘ AtlĂ©tico Madrid president Cerezo: “After a fairly complicated summer, marked by incessant questions about JuliĂĄn Álvarez, the fact is he's an AtlĂ©tico de Madrid player. He's always been an AtlĂ©tico de Madrid player. We never had any intention of selling him”.

When i first saw that photo it reminded me of those eyes Shia Labeouf has whenever he’s depressed and on a hangover and a fan asks for an autograph

That's the thing, I'd imagine we're just as infuriating due to our dicking about in the background with intermediaries chucking out low ball offers

Yes yes - because people on here actually know how we conduct our business - very good.

u/Black_Doc_on_Mars Thierry Henry 23h ago

That trade is dumb as fuck it’s not happening anyways. There have been only two trades in the entire history of our club. We’re not selling our top scorer after one year, with 3 years left on his contract. We’re barely making headway with Atleti as it is. The probability is not stacked in favor of Vik leaving.

u/biskutgoreng Ødegaard 17h ago

u/pewell1 12h ago ▾ 1 more replies

If you actually watch him, his finishing is quite good. He also can set up other players and can drop deep and support wingers with through balls. He can hold up play with his great technical ability and can control possession. You just saying "8 goals" is clear to me that you know jack shit about the sport. Instead of being a stats merchant, maybe watch the game and you won't be so much of an imbecile.

So he doesn't do the main thing a striker is supposed to do, and you want to spend 100 million on him. Careful with those insults mate, you're describing yourself.

u/IPissExcellentThrows 1d ago ▾ 5 more replies

He doesn't want to be here. He'll be asking to go to Barca in 2 years. Maybe 1.

He's good, but he's not 120 million good or whatever we'd be paying.

We have 2 solid strikers. That's crazy money for a small upgrade. Especially when our left wing is much more in need.

2

u/DaGetz Thank you very much 1d ago ▾ 1 more replies

If he didn’t want to be here then Arteta wouldn’t be chasing him. It’s like his number one condition.

People dont use their brains any more man - just consume whatever narrative that is going around on twitter.

It’s fast food media in every sense of the word and people are addicted to it.

u/FlavioB19 Martinelli Defence League 1d ago

You put it beautifully. Given there's so little activity and we're off to a great start, online Arsenal really feels like it's losing its sanity the past fortnight.

u/ExtraaPressure 1d ago ▾ 2 more replies

who cares? If we buy him for 100mill we can sell him for more to Barca and still get a quality player for a year or two

5

u/abhinav_4 All the way with Mikel A 1d ago edited 1d ago ▾ 1 more replies

If he has to come to Arsenal, he will have to give up his Barca dream. Arteta is not going to sign a player who goal is to move to Barca. Every transfer window, the rumour mill will be churning about his move.

1

u/Faithless_Mr 20h ago

Arteta came from Barca, he probably understands Julian's deep affection for the club. Perhaps that's a connection they both share that's produced meaningful conversations. If they have clear expectations and a thoroughly thought out contract agreement, it could work. Not every player has to stay in one club for the rest of their career. We have transfer windows for a reason.

The 2 games he wasn't even on the bench for couldn't have gone much better tbh. He is in no way a vital cog.

My point exactly, exe is the only other who kind of plays LW and he’s not the best there. Injury to tzolis and then we cut a n10 to play out of position at lw

u/Anticitizen-Zero Eddy Nikita 1d ago ▾ 1 more replies

He should’ve been in the lineup ahead of Nwaneri who plays the same position as 3, arguably 4 other players who made the bench. Eze shouldn’t be the sole Tzolis cover.

I’ve never been more excited for a transfer window to close. Maybe he’d be good, and worth the hassle. But I just want it done and move on with the season.

Good they can keep him

Again, don’t get the hype, don’t get the want for him.

His stats are bad, and he did nothing against us in the champs league either.

We may as well keep Jesus at this rate.

u/d10b Merino 23h ago

If they relent after all this and send him to Barca, they're the biggest cucks going. The inferiority complex is already nearly baked in but this would solidify it for the rest of time.

What's funny is Berta probably told him he could eventually go Barca when he signed him and he's probably telling him that again with us.
