Alvarez has more medals in his tea caddy than most players have tea bags.

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.

 

[HolisticJim]

which backup striker will you buy thats cheaper and better than him?

The way Haaland and Alverez are both playing, I'd be taking a close look at Kanes availability in the summer.

 

[Craig]

Even if Halaand leaves I don't think Alvarez will be the one as the main no 9.

Agree, he’s no chance of becoming our main striker. Good back up but will never be the main man. Tevez, Aguero, Haaland. He’ll never be at that level like Gabby wasn’t. Great team players and back up strikers.

Reads shite.

Shakes head.

Goes to bed, confused by know nowt numpties: /

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Would have Jesus back in a heartbeat in place of Alvarez on his current form , but neither of them would be good enough to be our number one striker , although i would have a look at Izak at Newcastle he is a really good striker , has pace and can finish with aplomb.

Are you implying that Julian's WC gold medal is misleading?

 

[meeesh]

dont disrespect jesus like this.

Alvarez is miles better, I know it, you know it

 

[fuskarn]

Alvarez is miles better, I know it, you know it

nope, better finisher yeah, better player? nah

 

[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

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

 

[meeesh]

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)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Sums you up , nothin to say.

 

[Mike N]

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.

Yawn

We'll that a cracking and we'll informed response. Thank you for your input.
