Playing him as a winger is a waste.

He will play in the central positions, either as the striker or the 10 behind the striker.
 
Reverse Aguero/Dzeko situation here. The little Argentine and the massive European from the Bundesliga.

People might need to lower their expectations of him for this season. He’ll look much better at the moment because he’s coming to us having just played properly so he looks much fitter and sharper than others. At some time in the season ahead, however, it will catch up with him and he’ll suddenly hit a wall. Once he gets through this season and his body and mind acclimatise to the new rhythm, then we’ll see him flourish.

That's true but i like his movement, workrate and passing already.

The other thing is that he's new, so once he gets used to the system and starts adapting his runs etc, the other players will start trusting him more and start giving him the ball more and we see a lot more from him.
I'm excited, this lad is going to be good.

He'll undoubtedly have ups and downs but we saw very encouraging signs last night. His pressing and movement were incredible and his link up play was far beyond what I expected. He showed he has the tools to be a success. Just need to see him shoot now!

Never had any doubts that he’d be successful with us and fully expect him to score many, many goals, it’s just that I also know that he’ll hit a wall some time in the coming season. It’s a bit like jet lag: you know it’s coming but you carry on regardless but then it hits.

One of the reasons I said we should go for Alvarez in the first place is that he instinctively makes the runs of a natural striker. Sterling and Jesus had many attributes but attacking the key areas was not one of them.

I don’t think he’ll score at the rate Aguero did, but he looks the more complete player.

i dont love to compare players like for like and im not doing it now, but most comparasions/references i read about him were with thomas muller. Which i think it is a good one, although one thing that defines muller are his timely goals out of nothing and that part is hard to emulate for sure. Alvarez is better technically, very tidy for a forward
