19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[WallyA]

He, like Foden and KdB, are players that want to make the magic happen.

In the centre when we have 3 players, feels like 1 needs to be a controller (Gundogan or Bernie) to make it work best.

 

[River Plate]

He needs to work on the heavy touches he has from time to time but this kid is so good in so many different areas and he just has "it". He's on the brink of completing football at age 22. Dude just brings winning "luck" to any place he goes.

So calm in front of goal, very reminiscent of Sergio in that sense.

 

[River Plate]

Julian just became the youngest Argentinian to score on a CL semifinal, beating some guy called Lionel.

He is too good to be sitting on the bench .

Pep is trying to play him in a different position. Possibly he will play more frequently next season.

 

[mancyank41]

It seems to me Pep will try to incorporate Alvarez into the squad if Gundo, Silva, or both leave. Of course he’s a bit of a different sort of player, but he’s fucking quality. Too good to be coming off the bench.

Depends whose bench.

Nobody in world football is too good to be sitting on City's bench at the moment.

He's just got to keep doing his thing, he's been excellent. He's been involved in 46 games this season and played the minutes of nearly 26 full games. That's not bad for your first season in European football, let alone at the best team in Europe*.

if bernie and gundo leave, phil covers bernie's position, kev drops deeper into the gundo position and alvarez goes into the kev position.
