You’d rather Gordon if they cost the same?

 

…..

One is proven in the PL, one isn’t, in my mind I’d prefer the PL proven one given where we are. I think having a solid LW would do wonders for the team, especially as direct as Gordon.

I'm against buying from the Bundesliga... 

Their players usually come over and flop for the most part. Struggle with physicality and space in EPL. Didn't use to be the case, and was actually the one league that would translate well, but seems to have changed over the last 5+ years. 

Hugo has a nice highlight reel but feel he would offer similar to Jackson. 

The more and more time goes on, the more I'm inclined to lean to Osimhen. Gives us physicality and aerial threat. And hes the type to just blast at goal instead of try and walk it in which we are guilty of at times.

Need to avoid this trash at all costs.

[DDA 10,209]

If anyone thinks for a minute that we will buy proper established players like Rodrygo for £80m you must be out of your God Damn mind.

There is no money left.

We finished in plus last couple of years, no? Now we may get huge injection of money. 200m in plus compared to this season. CWC at least 50m, CL qualification over 100m and that should bring new shirt sponsor finally another 50m per season. So it's essential we qualify for CL on Sunday it makes huge difference.

I don’t think we will qualify.

Say the same, anyone buying an attacker from the Bundesliga needs to either a) avoid. b) get an amazing deal. 

£60m+ for EH is madness, yeah he shows flashes but he is nowhere near consistent enough to be sure he can handle the PL.

Well that is certainly a nice uplifting prognostication.

Fuck these clowns honestly. If Garnacho links pop up again I’m done. 

Garnacho at least has some experience in England and is no worse than Madueke, Mudryk or Nkunku, but if he is brought in with proven players like Osimhen .

Arsenal and Liverpool want 35-G/A “amazing footballer”, transfer meeting likely next week

Arsenal and Liverpool are among clubs keen on signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/05/22/arsenal-and-liverpool-want-julian-alvarez/

The 25-year-old is one of the best strikers in La Liga, and he could be an exceptional acquisition for the Premier League club.

According to a report from El Chiringuito, meetings will begin with the clubs interested in Julian Alvarez next week. The Spanish club could consider selling the player if a substantial offer is presented in the summer.

Arsenal need a reliable centre-forward

Arsenal are in desperate need of a quality goal-scorer, and the 25-year-old could lead the line for next season. They have looked toothless in the attack at times, and the lack of a reliable finisher has cost them another league title.

Alvarez will add goals and creativity to the Arsenal attack if he joins the club. In addition to that, he is a hard-working player who will help out defensively and with his playmaking abilities. The South American is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three, and he could be an asset for Arsenal if they manage to get the deal done.

Liverpool need Julian Alvarez

Similarly, Liverpool are crying out for a reliable forward as well. Darwin Nunez has been very underwhelming, and he needs to be replaced. Signing the World Cup winner would be a major coup for Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to return to England.

He has proven his quality in the Premier League with Manchester City in the past, and there is no doubt that he could hit the ground running if he joins Liverpool or Arsenal. Alvarez has been hailed as an “amazing footballer” by Erling Haaland.

The player has 29 goals to his name this season, and he has picked up six assists as well. He is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and it remains to be seen whether the two English clubs can convince Atletico Madrid to sell him.

His winning experience could prove to be vital for Liverpool as well. He has won the Premier League title, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and the World Cup and the Copa America with his country.

Romano seems convinced that Rodrygo is leaving Real Madrid this summer

Rodrygo ending up at Arse/Pool/Citeh would be a disaster for us

especially Pool or Arse

I really don’t see any of those clubs being willing to pay that much for a winger this summer. Especially when they’re all linked with super expensive players in other areas of need.

I can see Arsenal. Zubimendi clause just 60m euros. Gyokeres £60m pounds and add Rodrygo. Sell some players and they fixed all weak links.

Probably Arsenal, Arteta seems keen on spending big.  

Zubi + striker + Rodrygo would be a pretty good window for them.

So after watching Werner and Nkunku struggle in the EPL, we're going to spend 80+ million on that Frankfurt striker? 

Wasn't this the same guy who couldn't do anything against Spurs in the Europa League? 

What a waste of money.   

(I'm sort of hoping we don't get UCL football next season, just so we end up not signing these average players).

Arsenal are going to get Gykores and Rodrygo

Maybe. If the Arse owners are finally willing to go big and get over that final hurdle I guess. But them spending Man City or Chelsea type money in a single window I still have to see to believe. They showed with Rice that they’re willing to go big for one single player but we’re yet to really see them splurge on a handful of expensive players all in one window.

Same can really be said about Liverpool.
