19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[Jag]

He needs to start a few games on the right hand side. If we can get Foden on the left and Alvarez on the right that will allow us to play crosses into the box for Haaland and Gundogan who makes his late runs into the box.

 

[tonea2003]

you can see his talent and boy he has quick feet, once he properly settles think we have a player on our hands

 

[RayCTID]

The best thing about this kid is he can get better. One of our game changers

 

[ninjamonkey]

Love this kids workrate, it's not jesus level but it's the next best thing. made a difference today, and that's all he needs to do when he gets chances.

It's going to be a fairly slow introduction for him this season unless there's a tonne of injuries but patience will pay off, have to remember the original plan was to leave him in Argentina until next year.

 

[Shaffer92]

Couple shaky moments but to be expected. A lot more good than bad.

 

[simon23]

think he deserves a start in a front 3 with Haaland and one other

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

What a prospect, you just know sometimes and when polished he will be frightening

 

[Ric]

Going to be great for us. Settled in nicely and is already pushing for a place in the starting XI. Looking forward to seeing him get more opportunities as the schedule intensifies.

 

[mdj0520]

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.

The fixtures will get congested soon enough and he will definitely get starts.

I cannot wait to watch the game again on City+ and focus on Alvarez, he's exciting and relentless. Hear me out but his quick feet and one-touch pass and move are really Zincheko like and his body movement and creativity is all Jesus.

He's going to be a very special player for us.

 

[Mike N]

Really liked what I saw today. I think we’ve got something special in Alverez. You can’t beat a good Argentinian.

 

[malg]

Looks like we've got a fair swap for Jesus and cash to spare. Like the look of him.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

He was everywhere in the final third. Can't wait to see how he develops.

 

[WestGorton]

What a signing. Caused havoc

 

[OB1]

Sharp.

 

[TFC]

I am an absolute sucker for a work rate. I loved Dickov, I loved Tevez, I loved Zaba, I love Bernie, I am going to love this lad.

 

[Big-P]

If I am blessed with a son I am calling him Julian

 

[lol yank]

Palace tried playing out from the back about ten mins after he came on and he flew into the picture and immediately put pressure on the defender causing him to lose possession. Had he picked his head up haaland was waiting. Seemed like a great microcosm. He’s everywhere. He and Bernardo are going to be zipping around the pitch.

Absolutely cannot wait to see those two play together and build chemistry. He was in a weird role today with Phil but would love to see him on the right as well.

 

[diamond geezer]

If I am blessed with a son I am calling him Julian

If it's a girl, call her Julia

 

[Tevez City]

I don't know which position has he filled today, he was everywhere.
