Welcome Julian Alvarez | Signing confirmed on a five-and-a-half year deal

[Damanino]

I am more on the side that he is totally a CFG signing that we will try to flip for profit like Harrison to Leeds.
If he would be a huge talent ready to rock up at Etihad we would bring him now not July or next December. (In case Pep would think he can be an asset straightaway)

But hope he proves me wrong and arrives in July and becomes part of first team squad with some goals in pre season he could do that.

We'd get a great buzz if we could forget about this completely until August. Anyone know a good mass hypnotist?

 

[Citizens champions]

We buy Julian Alvarez, but he dont come here now.. Why on the fucking earth? I become a heart attack

 

[jrb]

Just in case he never puts a City shirt on.(arf!)

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I wonder if Gallardo is next in line when pep calls it a day

 

[BimboBob]

I know, why?

Madness. Rated as one of the best youngsters in South American football and people seem to think he won't even play for us? I'm so glad we have so many people on here that have been included in the contract negotiations.

He’s going to break all records this lad

He’s going to break all records this lad

He’s not a fan of vinyl then?

The South American player of the year doesn't leave his own country to go and play for Girona or Yokohama F. Marinos. He's a City player and will be given every opportunity to become a serial winner with us.

So predictable

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Álvarez = accent above the first A means the emphasis is on that letter, and the z at the end is pronounced like a ‘th’…

So it’s Alvareth.

Definitely. This isn’t Marlos Moreno, this is a Gabriel Jesus level signing.

This lad has proper potential!

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Right, but this doesn't mean anything. And if we're just throwing tweets at each other.

are you stupid? I quoted you a person who directly made contract negotiations. you in return send me quotes from journalist who have 3 or 4 or 5th hand knowledge of things.

The South American player of the year probably doesn't get sold for peanuts.

But here we are.

Not very bright are you ?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

If he's 22 and we don't think he can get playing time over Grealish, Jesus, Foden or Sterling, none of whom are very good at all as a central striker, how good can this guy really be?

Like most of our signings, he's clearly shit.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Alvarez rhymes with Mahrez,
Julian rhymes with hooligan.

We had two Silva's you know
YaYa, Kun and Dzeko

Now we've Jesus n Alvarez
Haaland n Mahrez
oooooooh KDB and Len
Ederson, Rodri n Foden

What a bunch of beautiful bastards!

I'd rather trust Sam who has no agenda at all than the president of River Plate who just wants to look like he's made a smart business move. If this lad was as good as we all think (when none of us had even heard of him a week ago) then why are we still unsure if he'll join the first team in the summer? If he's not good enough at 22 to be a concrete part of Pep's plans then when is he ever going to be good enough?

 

[Kamaro011]

Not really. This gets him to Europe. He'll be playing in Spain in 3 years.

Bear in mind we paid £12m for Patrick Roberts in 2015.

Higher transfer fee because british tax.

Again why you compare Patrick Roberts an unproven youngter signing back then to Julian Alveres a proven south american best player ?

 

[stan bowles]

Definitely. This isn’t Marlos Moreno, this is a Gabriel Jesus level signing.

This lad has proper potential!

If I was the South American Player of the Year and my agent told me I was signing for CFG and it was more than likely I'd be playing in Japan, New York, Melbourne or for Lommel SK until I'd proved myself I'd be getting myself a new agent.
