Julian Alvarez | Signs for City (see main forum)

It was a work permit issue. The club rated Luiz highly but unfortunately, is unable to field him.

Yes, you’re quite right, apologies, I think I got confused with Sancho ?

I've seen him compared to David Villa and I can certainly see that. Especially in his style of dribbling.

Off topic, but was’nt Luiz offered a contract to stay at the same time as Foden, but chose to leave ?

We couldn’t obtain a work permit for him.

I don't think this influences the Haaland discussion. Another business transfer like Douglas Luiz. Buy low sell high, maybe he comes good and breaks into first team. Players gets a move to Europe, first class environment to adapt and develop. Everybody wins.

Player of the year in South America for 2021?
Doesn't quite fit as one of our young talent business deals.

Looks to be the best deal for a striker that we can get.
I'd be really happy if he came to us.

Seems like it’s not that close after all. Looks amazing from highlights, dare I say he reminds me of Aguero


Got 38 G&A in 2021. Some great finishes in there (10,12 and 19 in particular)

Be interesting to see him play in a league where one of the positions is goalkeeper

That was really very good .LMAO

I’m guessing one for the future who may or may not get anywhere near our first team squad? Presumably doesn’t affect our apparent pursuit of a world class established striker?

I'd like to think he is more of a Jesus than a Moreno but not someone we will put all our eggs in one basket for. Added benefit he can play across the front-line

Bluemoon. Transfer forum. Attacker linked. YouTube highlights. Georgios fucking Samaras.

It's the single most predictable trope on here.

Controversial opnion: Samaras would have been okay in a better attacking side
