He wanted to go. I miss him, and he said we didn't do anything wrong, but he said he fancied a new challenge and Atletico stumped up the cash.Why did we sell him, between him and Palmer we’ve sold some absolutely world class players for probably what will turn out to be bargains.
Give the blud false hopeDon´t like how easily Arsenal is going through...
Anyone have a link to his goal?
Got to admit I was the same. He frustrated the shit out of me last season and when we got 85mil for him I thought we’d got a great deal. Question is would he have got the constancy at City he wanted and I think the answer is still no. Good on him though and that was some strike.Gotta admit, maybe I underrated Julian. Never thought there was an €85m player in there but he’s been unbelievable since going to Atletico. Maybe just needed a consistent run of games…
To be fair Bernardo has wanted to leave for about 3 years now, so we can get players to stay if we have the desireHe wanted to go. I miss him, and he said we didn't do anything wrong, but he said he fancied a new challenge and Atletico stumped up the cash.
Strikes me as the kinda player who will move around a lot every 2-3 seasons. Wouldn't surprise me if he's at somewhere like Inter or Bayern by 2028.
Kinda like Tevez did, actually. Squeezed Boca, West Ham, City, United, Juve, and Boca again into 10 years.
Yep in 17 games where he's been a sub for most of them!Finally taken him off, surprised he left it minute longer. Would that have been his 3rd red this season?
Easier to convince players to stay when they start every week. Alvarez knew he would always play second fiddle to Haaland.To be fair Bernardo has wanted to leave for about 3 years now, so we can get players to stay if we have the desire
Less physical in Spain vs PL. Same reason Antony looks decent at BetisGotta admit, maybe I underrated Julian. Never thought there was an €85m player in there but he’s been unbelievable since going to Atletico. Maybe just needed a consistent run of games…
I’ve never actually been on the Palmer and Delap ones, I’ll admit to making an odd comment on the Sane one in the past:)Makes a change from going on the ‘why did we sell palmer, delap and sane’ threads :(
The question could be, would Julian be a better fit for us?Easier to convince players to stay when they start every week. Alvarez knew he would always play second fiddle to Haaland.
Fuck off, he wanted to go and we got a good priceTxiki replaced him with Mubama thinking that will be OK.
I’d have started him more alongside haaland. Im not sure who I rate higher Alvarez or Marmoush (both good/ slightly different)Easier to convince players to stay when they start every week. Alvarez knew he would always play second fiddle to Haaland.
