Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[M18CTID]

Spain is a surprise at times. Easy to get seville tickets, difficult to get real betis tickets.

No surprise. Betis are the bigger supported club in Seville

[SWPISHOME]

That's serious money for Alvarez.

Well done City.

Now let's go and get his replacement.

 

[Ajm1985]

Superb deal

 

[richards30]

I still dream that we at least chuck a £125m bid at Bayern for Musiala this summer.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Unreal amount to be getting for him. After his performances last season and his dummy spitting this pre season I'd have been happy with 50m! Jeez his corners were utter shite too and had passing ability of a newt

 

[urban genie]

That's serious money for Alvarez.

Well done City.

Now let's go and get his replacement.

we have him already, bobb steps up let's not stifle his progress for no reason.

the money needs to go on a back up for rodri and box to box gundo type

genuinely outstanding piece of business

I'd just like to point out that Arsenal paid 80m Eur for Nicolas Pepe in 2019/2020. You could also mention some of Chelsea's fees but that's an unrealistic barometer, Mudryk for instance. Reality is this is a guy who's won everything, but the market isn't what it was and the Spanish league has been squeezed (Tebas should take all the blame of course) so it is what it is. Overall i think we will insert a load of clauses in there, he seems a perfect fit for Atletico.

The biggest issue i have with this is i don't think we will get anyone in to replace, as a close like for like. We may go for another midfielder but i can't see us getting anyone who can play 9 and 10. We'll probably just keep an eye on how Echeverri does till January and make a decision then.

A great deal for all parties i think. Key for us now is how we spend that money. We better fucking had as we are a few injuries away from being very thin on the ground.

 

[Coatigan]

Makes sense but not sure we would do that to NYC when he has just joined them…

I'm sure we would pay them.

I doubt a promising young European player, settled in his home town team and with top clubs circling woth options, saw himself playing in N.Y. for a long time. He would always have had one eye on a move here imo and that as his route to it.

Jesus Christ that is some bit of business

 

[Centurions]

That's serious money for Alvarez.

Well done City.

Now let's go and get his replacement.

He's already there, Bobb will get at least some of his minutes this season with McAtee claiming some of them also.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

£67m profit, that's an outstanding piece of business. He's been really good for us and I wish him all the best for the future, except when he plays against us.

 

[bigA]

Good business indeed.

 

[Tb1981]

Athletico are mad
He is no way worth that fee.
Add to that Connor Gallagher, who is absolutely wank

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

So its £64 million. What are the add ons?

 

[mike1923]

When do liverpool and united get to step in and decide what his fair market value is?

 

[wolviedinho]

Mixed feeling on this one.

Works hard and has the talent but we didn’t see enough end product when it was needed.

The fee is fantastic.

After a promising start he become blunt now maybe he was flogged abit but still expected more from his end product.

Overall we did great business with this one. Helped us win trophies and now we can bank a lot of money from the initial investment.

Waits patiently for the “we made a mistake thread” once he starts scoring regularly in la liga, nestled next to palmer “what have we done thread” -:)

No, no, no. Txiki always gives away our players for nothing, it must be true, I've seen it on here.
