19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[meeesh]

nope, better finisher yeah, better player? nah

The "stats", paint a different picture, this season as well, there was a reason we let Jesus go, and the other week we again saw why

Sometimes medals can be misleading.
Carson has 2 winners medals in champions league with 2 different clubs and Kovavic has 4 winners medals having played a total of 7 minutes and that 7 minutes was against us as a sub for Chelsea.
I like Alvarez, tries hard and had scored some important goals.
Using medals as an argument isn't always correct.

Wasn't being used as an reference of ability but a light hearted one to the documentary where he keeps his medals in the kitchen cupboard.
Can think of many others with war chests that never matched their ability, Alvarez deserves all he achieved.

the "stats" say jesus had 140G/A for City, including 34G/A in 2019/20 btw

He's gone, and bringing stats up from 4 or 5 years ago doesn't help your argument one bit, this season -

Jesus 29 played - 8 goals - 6 assists (211 mins a goal)

Alvarez - 45 played - 16 goals - 13 assists (195 mins a goal)

Let’s get it right, Jesus was one of the luckiest players in the world to play for City.

yeah because he's had 4 different injuries and has missed 16 games through it, dont bring that up

if you think alvarez is going to be some long term solution if haaland fucks off, you are going to be shocked when he ends up like jesus

That's where there is a main difference, Alvarez will fucking try, in fact like Tevez he runs his fucking socks off mainly every time he plays, where as your mate Jesus just frowns or rolls about on floor, hence why he is no longer with us, so there is no shock in store coming at all, he's a tryer, and his stats outweigh Jesus, simple as.

Your post was daft. Isak isn't coming here to sit on the bench behind Haaland. Give the lad a break, he's had three years of non-stop football - and won everything in that period - but is currently going through a lean spell. Its nothing more than that. Pep loves the lad and deserves support, not being slagged off.
