19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[ninjamonkey]

Played well today but even when he doesn't he makes things happen and that alone makes him worthy of being on the pitch as much as possible. The guys numbers are incredible and he's developing his game by the week. We bought him as a natural striker, he's becoming so much more. Great to see him coming out of his shell and deciding to be one of the main men. Exactly what we needed and he's delivering.

 

[TonyM]

He's no Rashford.

 

[Tevez City]

The more Argies the better

Must be the club colours, they think they're playing for the national team.

 

[SebastianBlue]

That finish was so much more difficult than he made it look.

 

[Chi-town blues]

His right foot power reminds me tevez esp his first goal reminds me when tevez scored from like zero angle .

 

[Matt the Giant]

Such a gem of a player. And he is still evolving and adapting to Pep's way, so more to come.

 

[Keeper!]

Magnificent, when we look back in time he will be one of the great signings of all time and all at 14m.

My lads favourite player. When I asked him what kit he wanted for his birthday he instantly said "Alvarez"

He`s flying at the minute and what was the fee, £14m??? Absolute baller

He would walk into any team in the league. Crazy we got him for that price.

 

[ws01]

15 million pounds for a young, world class forward in 2022. Not to mention highly professional, hardworking, and a good lad. Nothing short of pure robbery, and may well be looked back on as the best piece of business Txiki and the club have ever done.

 

[Chi-town blues]

“He is for cfg and will be loaned to girona “

My only worry with this guy (and it's not really that much of a worry) is that he will never be 100% truly appreciated here while Haaland is here. Similar situation as Benzema and Ronaldo. If Haaland wasn't here, Alvarez would be the main man and getting lots more plaudits. I'm just glad they are both here haha!

Oh but he will, as long as he's kept in the starting lineup of course.

Sky literally is the limit for him.

I think he might actually be able to put together 20G / 20A seasons if he keeps learning under Pep. He's got a brilliant #9 to feed passes to or play off.

How many 20-20 players have there been in the Top 5 leagues? Just curious

He's on course to 20/20 this season. Guess when KDB returns Alvarez will get fewer assists. But if he's on, say, 12 assists when KDB is back, 20/20 will be doable.

Just counting league games, I think it's just Messi and Henry

20 goals and 20 assists across all comps in a season is a much bigger number, at least 30 players have done that (or rather, it has happened at least 30 times, but with several players achieving it multiple times - like Messi doing it 8 times)
