How would Alvarez going to Arsenal help him weather wise?

Sky double down on Christmas Eve with 2nd game to join Arsenal v Liverpool


Jesus trebled his wages when he went there.

Why would we sell to a rival? Unless we have an even better replacement lined up it would be stupid, and weaken us while strengthening them. We’d only have Haaland as a striker and he can’t play 60-odd games.

If Arsenal offered £10 m more than Athletico , I'm guessing there is every chance we would sell to them.
I would prefer not to sell to a rival premier league team bit that may not be the view of the City transfer group.
Off my head, only Palmer and Douglas Luiz have been better than I would have expected.
Players can end up with top Premier league from us indirectly too.
Porro and Sancho were ours not so long ago.
Chelsea have 3 ex players of ours so if they came looking for Couto or Kabore I think we could possibly deal with them.
Alvarez is possibly a little different in that he may strengthen a team but there is every chance he could end up like Sterling, Zinchenko and Jesus too.
Hopefully we don't sell Alvarez but if he indicates he wants out, he could end up anywhere

We wont strengthen Arsenal since they are currently our main title rival. Would be beyond stupid and City are certainly not stupid. Chelsea perhaps, since they offer no major threat to our chances of winning the league short term.

In these cases, is more like the player wants to leave, because he feels he deserves more.

I'm not suggesting City would deny him any chance of leaving if he would want that. I'm saying that we would deny him the chance to join our main rival for the title.

I'd hope so but Alvarez will want to go to a top club. Not sure how we can stop him going to a liverpool or an arsenal if they come up with the asking price.

He wants to go to Atlético.

For me is crazy. I prefere playing 100 minutes in City than playing 1.000 minutes in Atlético. But most of argentines players are like this. They want to be surrounded by Argentines and Uruguayans. They put cultural comfort before their professional career.
 
Whens he due back from the olympics at the latest/earliest?

I am sure I read a tweet about 18 months ago, the gist being that City won't sell to Arselona again, because Jesus and Zinny were playing well in a team that was - unexpectedly for City sales team- challenging for the title......I don't see them making the same mistake again. And anyway why should we be like a charity case helping that repugnant Yankee Red cartel outfit??? Makes no sense whatsoever selling Jooolian to them. I reckon it's wishful thinking and clickbait.
 
Stating the obvious, City set a transfer fee for Alvarez of £60M plus £17M in potential add-ons specifically for Atletico Madrid.

But City should tell Chelsea and Arsenal to cough up £100M+ or go fuck themselves. If Alvarez has his heart set on leaving, he shouldn’t have signed a contract extension at City. And it should be obvious to him that if domestic competitors want a Pep-trained striker as an upgrade to the dreck they bought in prior seasons, then they’ll need to write checks at least as big as the ones they wrote for Rice, Enzo and Caicedo.

Arsenal can give us Odegaard or they can fuck right off.

77m is an insult given Maguire cost 80m, the absolute dickheads.

Come on...

The man who paid 80 million for Maguire, that day, he smoked something.


It doesn't seems like cuban cigars, it seems like white powder.
 
Alvarez has pretty much completed football apart from the Olympics and the league cup here.His price tag has to justify all of this.Like others above have said and if shitstain Antony is worth 80 million then we need to be asking 100 million for him and some golden eggs.
