It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Anybody who doesn't rate Alvarez shows a distinct lack of any footballing knowledge or IQ.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Do people pointing at trophies do the same with Phillips, Palmer, Lewis, Jesper Blomqvist, David May, etc. etc. (probably do with the last two)?
In all honesty (apart from those with high footballing knowledge and IQ) - none of us really know if Alvarez is as good as some portray. Sometimes looks good, sometimes just looks busy. Hopefully see more next season.

IF you look at his minutes per what he does with the ball while playing, he's already on world class level. To perform like he does, when he's not even starting 70% of the time, is amazing.

Felix is a real footballer. Silky and technical. Very easy on the eye. I think he would thrive at City.

You spoke too much to make yourself sound knowledgeable. You should have left this sentence out to better make your point.

Was Nigel de Jong "silky and technical?" How about Pablo Zabaleta? Does that not make them "real footballers?" I suppose I shouldn't expect much, as usual, from Blue Moon "Class of '22."

Kevin and Nathan say hello.

Earlier on in their careers Felix is 23 on very high wages

And should go support the rags who have loads of those type players

Kevin and Nathan say hello.

Chelsea aren't signing him permanantely and is on high wages. Going "back home" to Benfica seems the logical choice to get his career back or if he wants to continue on his current salary Saudi Arabia.

I actually think at there are time and teams Alvarez should be starting over Haaland. Alvarez link up play is exceptional, pressing is second to non (look at the world cup) scores 9/10. How lucky we are to have Haaland and Alvarez. Reminds me of Aguero for sure.

 

[City Raider]

Yes mate!!! Welcome to the club. There’s now 2 of us. Ha.

Im not against Alvarez. He’s a good player… but he won’t be at City in 2 years.

He has certain limitations and isn’t good enough for us long term.

Not many players are In fairness. We are the best.

Alvarez might not be here in 2 years but it won’t be because we’ve forced him out. Eventually being a bit part to Haaland will not be enough. Winning trophies is about depth and rotation and we’re unbelievably fortunate to have a back up of Alvarez’s quality

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

What a bizarre take on Alvarez. He is fucking quality.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

What a bizarre take on Alvarez. He is fucking quality.

I think getting him and Erling at the same time just reminded Pep how bald he is.

 

[qshot989]

What a bizarre take on Alvarez. He is fucking quality.

He is. Somehow he has managed to shine while being in Haalands shadow for the entire season which shows you how good he really is, when he has been called on he has been brilliant and consistent. Just think if he played more games........

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I’m fairly certain that whatever system Pep uses this season will enable Alvarez to play more minutes. By pushing a defender into midfield it enables an extra place up front. Perfect for Julian.

 

[Delphinho]

Valverde/Tchouameni anyone?

 

[BlueDejong]

Mcatee's time on

Swept carpet the under.
This story won't stick.

McAtee and Kovacic replacing Gundogan works so well. Good depth and top quality

for me I think pep will find a place for him in the team probably take mahrez spot coming of the right side of midfield I can honestly see him scoring 20+ goals a season from there never stops running pestering opposition players fantastic player and I'd go as far as to say I'm not sure Argentina would have won the world Cup without him doing the running for Messi

Anyone got a way of reading full article, sounds interesting?

Don’t matter what it is it won’t impact them one bit they’ll carry on buying players with no one blinking
