Great player, he's a handsome Tevez

 

[bluenova]

He's the second goalscorer of the team in the season and yet he's one of the players with less minutes played

If anyone ever suggests City have an unfair advantage because they have a World Cup winner "sitting on the bench"...

Alvarez 2400 mins, 17 goals, cost: £14-20m
Darwin Nunez 2365 mins, 15 goals, cost: £65-85m

People need to remember that he has been playing football non stop for nearly two years now. He played a whole season for River and managed 95 minutes against Velez Sarsfield on July 7th and then came off the bench for us at West Ham on August 7th. He basically had a month to come to a different hemisphere, culture, and climate, meet knew colleagues and process an entirely new system, and since then he has been in every match squad save for the trip to Leeds and the League Cup win over Liverpool. Oh, and when he did get a month ‘off’, he went and won the ruddy World Cup.

How many players have won world cup and pl in one season?

Depends where you draw the ‘season’ line, but he’s not the first City player to have done so.

Some of his touches are sublime, some are woeful but when this lad perfects those moments, he will be unplayable. What a talent! Fair return of goals and assists for an in/out player embedding himself after a season. Also, he played a calendar year, had a minimum break, joined the PL squad, went to Qatar, rejoined the squad and carried on until now... CHAMPION material. A proper grafter. Congratulations

The only thing he needs to improve is the heavy first touch. And is a very coachable thing.

The Bayern want him

The Bayern want him

I'm sure they do, lots of other clubs will also.
