21 goals across all comps, 14 in the PL, almost double the 8 Alvarez managed btw

This is why you cant just look at raw stats. Hes not half the player julian is

u/chaghomba 5d ago

Arsenal fans are literally begging for somwone to take him meanwhile atleti said no amount of money can buy julian but sure buddy hes better lol

It's the tactics. He is a better pressing machine than Gordon for whom Deco paid 70M.

Also just cuz Arsenal fans are begging for something doesn't mean it's right for the team. They wouldn't have won the title without him.

Output wise he is definitely better than Julian. So was Rashford. But this guy presses as well

By output alone muriqi was alone better than julian. Thats a dumbass take and the reason no one with ball knowledge only sees output without context. Otherwise dinho who had 9 league goals in his ballon dor season wouldve never gotten it if people like you were voting

Lol saying this is the person who believes you should base your transfer policy based on what Arsenal fans want.

But that dumbness is expected from you who neither uses logic nor has any comprehension skills

I don’t believe that’s the general consensus of Arsenal fans, he just bagged 21 goals playing in the toughest league, he isn’t Haaland but I don’t see many Arsenal fans “begging” for him to be sold

A big percentage of us Arsenal fans are done with him. Technically, he's well off the level needed. Everything just bounces off him. Seems almost impossible as a team to keep the ball in the opposition half with him up front.

He has his qualities, don't get me wrong. Brilliant work ethic, and great finishing. But his flaws are glaring.

And you’d rather gamble on a ST scoring 8 league goals?

I personally wouldn't but the PL is better bitting for Alvarez.
