Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

I never saw Julián as a true striker anyway. And we have people who can score across the front and from anywhere in midfield. Shit, people like Josko Gvardiol have started chipping in. We've shown that over and over. And by the way, I rate Álvarez, always have done. But if somebody wants to go, and the price is right, I think the club and Pep's policy is vindicated.

That’s all well and good,as long as Haaland isn’t out injured for any length of time.The team that won the titles without a striker had Gundo and Mahrez contributing.I just wonder if the current team could perform without a number nine so seamlessly?Happy to be proved wrong again tho!!
 
Excellent business if confirmed. No better than Jesus who we defo didn’t miss. Hopefully Bobb gets his mins.

Talented lad and I liked him a lot but always wondered if he had felt settled in sunny Manchester (the way Zaba did, for example.) Anyway good luck to him, he'll do very well in Spain.

He was extremely settled in Manchester. He lived in the new apartments at the bottom of deansgate and lived next door to a family whose daughters go to my son's primary school.

They said he was also extremely friendly and said he really liked living in Manchester as he could go out without being harassed.

He even sent my lad a WhatsApp video message as he was my lads favourite player

Weren't we saying this last summer when we lost Gundogan & Mahrez replacing them with Kovacic & Doku?

Didn't we score 2 more leagues goals without those 2 then with them? That in a season where Haaland didn't hit the heights of his first year, and KDB was injured for 70% of the season

Think we have enough attacking talent to cover his goals, just they will come in different places and faces

It'll be a major shock if it doesn't go through at this stage.

Its in your quote on X.

"That is Pep's greatest legacy and achievement. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic can't be measured in Grand Slams they have won (you can if you want to) but the real detail is they were always there. City and Pep will make sure we will be there again"

I had read that, agree. Been a long day!

He's too good not to start for a big team. We were never going to keep him forever. Good fee, confident we haven't been swindled like the Palmer deal.

Let's go out and find the next Alvarez now. He's definitely out there.

We already have the next Alvarez in Etchevery. He could be in the squad for 2nd half of the season.
 
If (and that is a big If) it is Eze as Alvarez's replacement there are no real signs of Palace signing his replacement and they are currently looking for Guehi's replacement.

wonder if he gets extended till the summer at River, with Girona no option and Gallardo back in charge.

No need to replace him
Oscar, Savio & Mcatee will take his minutes

Do you think McAtee is capable of playing at this level?

Personally I think the jury is out on McAtee, I'd love to see him succeed at City, I'm sure there's only one way of finding out if he's capable and that's by giving him game time.

It's very hard to judge the lad having loan spells at Sheffield United a team who was very anti football.
