Gyokeres or Alvarez poll

Interesting results and I agree. Alvarez has shown he will throw his toys out the pram.
What happens if, in a couple months, he goes full Lukaku at Chelsea and says, 'Nah, I don't want to be here and I only want Barca.' Who will inevitably go, 'We can only do a loan at this time, soz, maybe we can scrounge together 30 mil for you in a year or so.'

"Alvarez has shown he will throw his toys out the pram."
Kinda like how Gyokeres did at Sporting? No one seems to care now. Point is, as fans, none of us are really certain what promises may or may not have been made between players and management.
Alvarez may have a legitimate grievance.
And as far as checking out in 2 months and demanding Barca. well, it's certainly possible. But I'd trust Arteta and Berta to have vetted the situation enough to be confident that wouldn't happen.
