19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[Dax777]

Jesus is playing very well currently - but he rarely/never played this well in our side over years and years.

Perhaps Jesus has upped his game at Arsenal - but more likely he's having a statistically unlikely good run of form.\

There's a good reason why we let him go.

As usual, you've missed the point :)

He is playing the style of his new coach, which happens to bring out the best in him. In contrast, Pep requires mostly that players sacrifice for the team. Some players benefit from that, but it holds back other players. Alternatively, this could just be a bump and he'll fade quickly

 

[Silvanova]

Reckon Alvarez will start midweek? Looking forward to seeing how he does when getting a start in the Prem.

 

[River Plate]

Haaland + Julian = profit.

 

[city warrior]

Love him. Running everywhere, great link-up play, has great sense of space and where to be. Bargain, and I hope he starts on Wednesday.

 

[discopop]

Make no mistake this lad just has it, work ethic, skill and desire, big up to the scouting department they’ve bagged us a belter.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Exactly what we need after losing Jesus.

He just won't leave defenders any time.

 

[kaz7]

Think he will be a cult hero , typical arggie

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Tenacious player. Seems like he's up for a battle every time on the pitch. Give him a start over Riyad.

 

[TonyM]

We improved massively when he came on.

(Just wish we still had Jesus as well)

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I don’t want to overstate it because I think saying he changed the game would probably be a little OTT. However, he played a huge part in that. Get him in the side.

 

[La_Principie]

New Pedro. Just what Haaland needs to shine. Though I'm sure this is not what Pep has in his mind, necessity is what pushes this to happen.

 

[argyle]

I like him already.

 

[doobyedoobye]

His tenacity, movement and technique are wagyu levels..

 

[SebastianBlue]

Reckon he is going to be yet another Argentinian City fan favourite a la Zab.

Not kidding: against parked buses at home I would honestly play him as LWB (with Cancelo RWB) ahead of a back three (including Walker), allowing Phil to play LW, Bernardo RW, and Kev to roam.

 

[Bluewonder]

He is a titan of industry

 

[shroom]

 

[River Plate]

Good cameo, but still far away from what he can really do. He's playing it safe out there, making the high % passes. Once (if?) he gets the confidence of being a starter and really feeling part of the team, he will start doing all those special things that got City's attention.

I wonder what's Pep plan regarding Julian. Will he ever play Álvarez next to Haaland? Earling isn't going anywhere anytime soon, if Pep doesn't plan to play them together at some point, I don't see Julian accepting to be a career long sub.

 

[Manchester la la la la]

Was on holiday in the dominican republic a few weeks back

Loads of Argentinians on holiday there too. Boca, River, Racing fans etc

To a man they were all telling me how good Alvarez is and how quality he's going to be.. and this was from a load of Boca fans who obviously aren't going to think too highly of an ex River player really

So glad he's ours
