Omar Marmoush

[tony adcock]

He can play on the wing. Alvarez wasn’t the best there really. Nor did he really excel (or have time to) in a specific area of his game. Marmoush has done this season and will continue to improve. Plus he can play a wider range of positions.

Fingers crossed he’s an upgrade on Alvarez

He’s already wearing last seasons away kit…

I've no clue what is going on, but it's good to see Marv return :) albeit with a slightly different username.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Marmoush is replacing kev, not on the wings not as an understudy to haaland, but as the link up attacking midfielder just behind the big fella.

That's what I reckon anyway

Can definitely see this happening.

He must be really good …… because Alvarez was really good and this lad is going to cost the same amount we sold Alvarez for….


Surely keeping Alvarez would have been a simpler solution ?

Seems pretty obvious now doesn’t it.

I thought he wanted to leave though?

I think it’ll be Marmoush and another to replace Kev. 2 players to replace what Kev gives us.

So that the Alvarez money gone.

Awell we got him for a snip, won a ton and made a fortune. Reinvest is why we stay top.

Reinvest to the Americans means dividends-:)

Like the Coutinho money it will never be gone, it will cover transfers for years!

Doku, McAtee and Grealish too

This guy seems like a much better player than Alvarez. Don’t get me wrong, Alvarez isn’t bad, but he’s not the kind of player I’d lose sleep over. He’s just average.

 

[bluegaz13]

Alvarez could only really play as a striker….we tried to shoehorn him and Haaland into the team by dropping him further back and it didn’t really work….according to reports Marmoush can play as an attacking midfielder, wide or upfront.

I liked Alvarez and obviously he was a great buy….but not great technically….but made up for it with a great attitude, none stop pressing and a decent finisher.

Go on what’s the username Dr Marvin by any chance?

Alvarez wanted to leave. It's really that simple and we rarely keep a player that wants to go. The profit on him was very good and at the time with Bobb coming through we thought we could cope. Injuries put paid to that.

 

[Paul1970]

interesting if Frankfurt are holding out for more because we will probably walk away even though we desperately need him.

Marmoush is a definite upgrade. He can play in four positions(7,11, 10 and 9) and performs very well in all of them. Alvarez as a 10 was meh, and as a wide player, he was average. Marmoush, on the other hand, crushes it in every position he plays. Makes me wonder how he’d do as a left-back! ;)

Rumour mill says this is further away than Khusanov, possibly week after next as there's still work to be done.

This timeline is still on course. There's no need to panic, people just jumped the gun last weekend with how close it was. It will get done, all parties want it to happen.

The last week of the month? You are joking, right?

The key difference is that Álvarez wanted to leave City, while Marmoush wants to come and play for City.

The quote was from last week. So probably be confirmed closer to next week than this

For fuck's sake. We need reinforcements this month, not next. The club is (so far) having a bit of a 'mare this window.

 

[southamptonblue]

Frankly that happens with any negotiation.

If those doing the deal are close but not yet agreed even they are not 100 percent sure until contract signed by the player and the 2 clubs.

I know someone who was chairman of a club, and somebody who is currently on the board of another club, so I'm quite aware.....I also know via them, how much shite and made up nonsense is spouted by 'journalists/Social media wannabes"...which is about 99% of it ;)
