19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[SebastianBlue]

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

I was blessed with a son almost exactly a year ago and I *did* name him Julian. :-)

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

They signed him because they ranked him the best striker in South America and their projections for where he could go were (are) very high.

That's what I was getting at. The latest episode of Together was extremely insightful into how highly he's rated within the club.

Then how are you blessed with the gift of foresight

 

[r.soleofsalford]

The energy this lad has is brilliant. I think he`s going to be a superstar.

It’s one of my few talents.

Also, it’s a name that runs on both my Spanish side and the missus’ German side of the family. ;-)

Spanish-German? Your son must have a lot of inner conflict when it comes to sun lounger etiquette

Alvarez has shown he has the press, the energy and class on the ball to start for the first team. It was only a small thing, but his intelligence to play the ball back to Bernardo for Haaland's second really impressed me - he could have been greedy & tried himself. I'd start him instead of Mahrez.

He’s English, Spanish, German, and Swiss…

Just imagine the historical guilt!

Pep: Everyone is talking about Erling, but Julian is exceptional.

Personally, I'm waiting for the games in which Pep starts with Haaland, Foden and Alvarez in attack: will be the youngest attack in the league, and the best.

Also very risky and prone to be counter attack, need some balance and one of them to slow down the game so we attack in our term rather than opposition just like Newcastle did two games ago.

Alvarez can press much better than Mahrez and Grealish. If anything, our high press is likely to be more efficient with Alvarez than with Mahrez/Grealish. Alvarez is like Jesus in that regard.

We had Bernado playing on the right that day. Not somebody who doesn’t press or keep the ball well. Leave Walker in field against teams with a rapid left winger and there’s your problem no matter who are wide forwards are.

 

[Burtonblue]

Where are all those who said Alvarez was destined to go out on loan gone? (mercifully Brazilian Gus no longer posting his nonsense!)
Really like the look of him.
He presses at least as good as Jesus did and clearly has excellent football intelligence.
Brilliant signing and a great foil and/or alternative to Haaland.
Well done City (again!)

 

[decmancity]

Nice to know Aguero has been reincarnated. What a fucking player.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Different Gravy

 

[jollylescott]

Wow what a player! That second goal!

 

[Gumzy97]

Superstar.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Good Lord

 

[oldius]

Absolute quality - aggression, vision, finishing and pace.

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

Very special
