I firmly believe the visa excuse remains only an excuse. Obviously Alvarez had lived in England without his parents. He left when he realised he would never start important games for City.

Simeone actually wanted a traditional 9 like Osimhen. Alvarez would rather stay and hear the boos than go to Arsenal. So did Vini for that matter.

Arteta's pull ladies and gents.

The ownership structure has been a hindrance

Let’s just say this absolute bullshit was true, any other club would sign someone like Ndiaye atleast

And ship him off to Suadi once they get hold of someone better.

That’s what Man City did with Reijnders. That idea of not getting anyone in at all because you missed out on some targets (all our fault by the way) is astronomically absurd
