“Gordon and Barcola have been among the players that the club (and most other teams at this level)have liked for some time. The same applies to Alvarez, and it’s natural that there would be more. I don’t know anything confirmed at the moment.” -Ornstein when asked about Gordon and Barcola to Arsenal

  1. I do find it interesting how Ornstein brought up Julian Alvarez to Arsenal, without anybody else bringing him up to begin with…..

    PSG have Barcola, Doue, and Kvaratshkelia…surely we’re able to get one of them.

    Gordon gotta be the most arteta signing ever. Fuck this obsession with prem proven players. I can’t deal with another shit winger on the left

    Leave Clare Balding in Newcastle ffs. Barcola on the other hand would be a damn good signing

  5. I like Gordon, when he is on, he is great—but very inconsistent right? Has lots of injuries and doesn’t play much? I feel like every player we sign will automatically get a 20% increase of injuries

  6. I would fucking KILL to have Barcola at the Emirates. I’m so tired of having a dead left hand side.

  7. Barcola is just a more tidy Madueke. But he won’t get those ridiculous spaces in the PL so.. No

    I rate Gordon. If he was like a Madueke style signing I’ve no issues with that

    Definitely need a forward that can rotate with Havertz / Gyok and replace Jesus with different skill set, so Alvarez is perfect

    Kvara is the dream signing

  9. We need both Alvarez and Barcola (or similar profiles). We need a big injection of attacking talent for next season.

    I feel like in a right a sensical world we could afford Barcola/Alvarez AND Gordon, because Gordon would be much cheaper than the Barcola/Alvarez, but man the homegrown + Prem tax combine to put Gordon on same cost as the other two. And that is silly to me lol

  11. As much as I would like to see us sign Alvarez, I’m not sure what the plan would be unless we see a shift in formation/shape.

    Much more keen on Barcola than Gordon but I hope we can do better than both (unlikely)

  12. We need to win the league and revamp this fucking attack man. Too many damn passengers.

    Gordon ain’t it definitely not worth whatever Newcastle will ask. Barcola and/or Alvarez would be massive

  14. Alvarez would raise our level
    Gordon I think would be Madueke level
    Barcola would be on par with Martinelli? Better technique though

    Spend the money – get Alvarez

    What is it with Gordon? He’s like an English version of Martinelli(maybe slightly better) but with the English player premium for price and wages. There must be better options out there.

  16. Alvarez would be a dream signing, Barcola if he learns to finish will be one of the most dangerous wingers in Europe. Need a big upgrade this summer, our front four is disastrous. Gordon would be a very very expensive mistake imo, definitely not an upgrade on anything we have.

    Gyo won’t cut it here. His technical skills are VERY below Par. It’s not about strength. Julian Alvarez will go a long way in helping us.
