19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[nellyonthewing]

Not strong enough to lead the line against strong defenders but played well in front of Guardiol and behind Erling.

I don’t see what he offers this team sadly just another Jesus

How about thirty goals and assists?

Only God knows how you have come to that conclusion?

Unless Pep changes his tactics and starts playing with a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-1-2 formation i don't think he and Haaland will be able to play togegher other than a couple of games or specific situations, and since Haaland will always be the obvious choice for N°9 i'm afraid that Julian will end up going to another team.

Didn't realise that was Julians 100th appearance for the club on Saturday, which is incredible given the time he's been here

I thought the commentator mentioned he had made either the most starts or appearances of any of our players this season.

Yes - half a dozen players have more minutes, but he's had the most appearances.

He made 49 last year too, but just over half were sub appearances.

 

[Tevez City]

10 Goals & 9 assists in the league

5 Goals & 2 assists from the 279 minutes he played in the CL

Im not sure how we will keep him happy long term. Stick him in any team (say Spuds) and he starts most games 40+ i think he'd score 20/25 league goals. However we are probably the only team in Europe where that still isn't enough to be a starter most games due to our Viking so its a tricky one.

What about them? Getting knocked out of CL tomorrow night?

He would fit the Serie A better. No problem keeping him but if he shows interest in moving then maybe a cash plus Alvarez deal for Kvara might work for all parties involved

Two Grealish! Hope K77's shooting skill can be better than Jack.

What nonsense is this, it's not us having the fire sale this summer.

 

[youngbob]

More than happy to keep him as a second striker. Not consistent enough to start all the time but more than good enough to fill in occasionally whenever Haaland is injured or needs a rest.

He does give assists and create chances. Controls the game perfectly

 

[Haaland94]

How about thirty goals and assists?

31 to be precise :). Goal contribution every 110 mins or so. A lot of good-old hard work as well.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Glad Pep is giving him some love in his presser. It was quickly forgotten by many how good he and Phil were together in the first half of the season. He's unlucky that his competition is Haaland.

Some buzz on Arg twitter that Julian is being considered for the Arg Olympic team this summer, fwiw.
Echeverri trained with them, he could be in the mix as well.
