we were linked to him in the summer though but nothing concrete ![]()
Alvarez would be an unreal signing but canāt see us being able to drop 100m+ on him and Havertz is 100% getting a new deal anyway.
Already looking at the next striker weāre gonna bring is crazy. ![]()
Havertz plus 60m for Alvarez - letās get it done!
Heās the ultimate wish list player. Could play with Gyokeres as well.
Weāre acting like a big club again. We now have the squad. We are getting our best players signed up to new contracts. In future transfer windows we need to now replace the weakest players in the squad. I think there will be a conversation about the striker position.
I really rate him. Done well for City. I could see him playing at Arsenal. I think he was a Berta signing too!
If thatās the case then it means all our strikers shat the bed so Iād prefer not thinking that for now.
Jesus has been a failure. Havertz, although I rate him and think he can do a job upfront, is not an out and out striker, and Gyokeres has it all to prove. The need for a conversation, feels like when rather than ifā¦
Youāre free to chat about it, thatās whatās the forum for. I just think itās far too early.
Alvarez has been in good form though, I will agree with that.
Jesus operated at the highest level Iāve seen any attacking player at Arsenal operate at since prime Sanchez. Guy was an absolute beast. Unfortunate his body broke down on us and he never recovered.
Still wouldnāt call him a failure though.
I agree with you in respect of Jesusās and Zinchenkoās first season at Arsenal. Unfortunately for Jesus his injuries have limited him minutes, but even when fit in subsequent seasons, he hasnāt delivered for us. Hence why I would regard him as a failure overall during his time at Arsenal.
Dude wasnāt even able to stay prime for one season with Arsenal, and you put him the same bracket with Sanchez?
My friend - I said he operated at the highest level of any of our attacking players that weāve had SINCE Sanchez. I didnāt say he was as good as Sanchez or that he played football that was so good he deserved to be mentioned in the same category of elite talent.
Jesus raised the level when he joined us but referring to him as elite is simply wrong. There is a reason City were prepared to let him go!
Are you taking the piss?
Iām gonna have an aneurysm tonight if I keep posting
Are you taking the piss?
About Jesus? No! Iām not sure anyone could say that heās an elite player! Utter nonsense!
I donāt think you read that properly.

Ok. But still not sure what @SRCJJ is on about. Jesus still has to be regarded as a failure at Arsenal.
He doesnāt. Heās been directly referenced alongside Zinchenko by both the manager and their teammates as the players that helped change the culture in the team and pushed us into becoming title challengers.
They were incredible in that first season, majority of the fanbase still looks back at that period as the best football weāve played under Mikel.
Injuries or better players have phased them out of the team but that doesnāt mean they were failures.
Just to clarify, I donāt think anyone(apart from @Truth_hurts probably
) is arguing that Jesus shouldnāt leave within the next year.
Not me. I think Jesus is wonderfully talented. Think he has use this season but next summer or even January should be the end of his journey here.
