19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I don't mind Alvarez leaving if we bring Olmo in.
That role Pep was trying to shoe Alvarez in (behind the striking and dropping into midfield) is tailor made for Olmo.
(Olmo) can score, can assist, can play out wide and is technically way superior than Alvarez.

Two different players mate. Two very different players

It's not same position.

Olmo could be Foden.

Álvarez is a good contribution as a substitute, but not to be the future starting 9.

He can't be Lewandovski in Bayern, Shevshenko in Milan or Haaland in City.

At the same time Álvarez feels that he deserves more.

He is condemned to leave.

Why have we allowed him to play at the Olympics ?

Good question. I didn’t even know about this until today! :-(

Seems to me that the players call the shots now.

Looks like he won’t play until around September then, probably after the international break.

We always let the young players go to the olympics if they want to , it is good experience for them

Any top employer would not deny their employee such an opportunity. We stand for something, and treating players well, and giving them every chance to reach the top of their profession, is just a part of that.

Julian going to Olympics confirmed

The only medal he’s missing!

Of course but the kid has played non stop for a long time, he needs a rest sometime

Pritty sure that's for the player and the club to decide , not some poster on BM
