If you guys dont mind him Real Madrid will.Hopefully its the latter as River will as with Enzo gain a lot
 
He's a wonderful footballer but he has not had a break for over a year now and must be going on adrenaline just now, don't be surprised if he has a bit of a come down after this tournament.
I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks out in the premier League next season rather than the second half of this season.
He barely plays for us. I'm sure he's fine.

And let's be honest. Half of his world cup goals have been down to shite defending.
 
Serious question
He has been brilliant in the World Cup but is he any higher in Pep's picking order?

Alvarez is great, great, great. One of the best young players in the world right now, and one of the best strikers in England.

But I feel, looking at this forum, that a lot of City fans have forgotten exactly how good Erling Haaland is, since it's been nearly two months since we had the pleasure of watching him at full fitness. Remember the hat-trick against United? Remember the volley vs Dortmund? The 4th goal vs Palace, opener against Brighton, etc. Alvarez is good, but he's not THAT good. No shame in being not quite as good as one of the best young strikers in the history of the game, though.

If you're asking whether he's up the pecking order on the wings, though, I would say maybe? But he's clearly better centrally. I'd like to see a 442 regardless, as I'm really not a fan of Jack or the current iteration of Mahrez, and I think Foden is way better centrally.
 
Man, signing Grealish was comfortably the worst decision we've made since the takeover. I have no clue what our (usually excellent) board were thinking. You're right, this would be great, but it would mean Pep admitting that Jack isn't good enough, which we would never allow.
Wilfried Bony says hi.

Of course that's what everyone is asking. We need to try and get him on the pitch with Earl.
If that means on the right wing, so be it.
