Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Skrastins]

yeah its done

Fuck me that was fast ngl

Means that Felix is not in the discussion anymore

 

[kaz7]

Sad to see him go , pep didnt just let the kid play in his best position enough, good luck kid

 

[waspish]

70m at least so they be addons too good money

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Why am I not bothered by this at all

 

[mancityscot]

Never struck me as a player that we'd keep for long, but only 2 years is very short. Still, £70m is great business.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Atletico were nice enough to sell us Rodri, the best player on the planet. So we can give them a nice return. I hope to see Julian score many goals against Real and Barca.

That’s because we have the best in the world playing in his best position.
That’s football.

Good mansplaning

He's not fulfilled his potential and his end product disappoints, but there's no way you can look at Felix play football and think he's shit, surely? One of the most naturally gifted players of his generation.

Trusting the opinions of some on here is what is shit. Go through the threads. 95% of the players proposed are shit for these posters. What's that tell you? If Pep and Txiki take on Felix I'm good with it. If not, I'm good with that too.

There's a big difference between a bad fit, injuries, or a bad run of form and calling a multitude of internationals playing for big footballing nations shit...JMO

How’s it mansplaining ffs.
You made a comment about a player not being played by pep in his best position without adding any context to why that’s the case.
Seriously, this place is fucking bananas.

tbf he did the everything to keep him happy by playing out of position therefore giving almost the most minutes out of whole squad, it was kinda fun watching basketball games with julian in the middle, don't think i'm gonna miss that but still!

Exactly.

That's what it all boils down to, He's just unfortunate that the best striker on the planet is ahead of him in the pecking order.

Alvarez starts for basically every Premier League team and most of the teams in Europe. He ain't starting ahead of Erling.

This is the best outcome for all parties.

Yeah it's great for the head, If you are suffering from mental health it's possibly the best thread to go onto for your sanity.

Real togetherness and calmness in the Matchday Thread....

Liverpool won it 5 times in a row though...

 

[city warrior]

It's really good money for someone that is not that necessary (false 9 works great with the players we have). The only doubt that I have is if Haaland eventually goes in the next couple seasons, Julian would have been a great replacement.

I feel like Pep and Txiki bought Julian because they expected Haaland to stay 3 seasons, but they didn't expect Julian to become a great player that fast. It's a shame, but I don't think he has a big impact on this season. I really hope we use that money to get a 6/8 or even a RB/CB.

i spat my coffee while reading this

clearly Chelsea ain't that stupid.

Sure they are...

Even though they probably didn’t as Brighton must have won it a couple of those years!

Scouse copium trophy!
