Be sad if he goes he clearly good now and scope to grow but it cannot be good for his ego being second choice and it must frustrate him. It isn’t changing anytime soon so feel it’s when and not if he goes. Hopefully we get another season out of him.
mofe appearances than any player, 4th most minutes of any attacker. We be hard pushed to find more tbhExactly of all the players we have decisions to make around this lad isn’t one. Need to keep him and give him the game time
Not sure i agree with the last bit, i think his finishing is generally poor. The amount of times he finds himself in good positions only to lash the ball at the back of the stand is quite infuriating.Alvarez is light years ahead of Jesus when it comes to finishing. And don't throw that miss at Wembley in because that was a rarity.
Why the fuck would we sell?
Exactly. Alvarez > Jesus. No comparison.
That's all? Rasmus Hojlund costed the Rags £72m when you factor in add-ons. The striker market is very dry, I think it would take at least £80m + add-ons just to get City to pick up the phone lol.£70m would be the minimum I would be looking for in this market.
There are very few good number 9's in the game right now and Alvarez, whilst not Haaland or Kane, is in the tier below. That tier is the £60m-£100m strikers.
The problem we have with Alvarez is he is too good to be a number 2, it's why Pep so frequently played him as a 10 last season. Him being potentially up for a new challenge was always going to occur either this summer or next.
Yes his finishing has been gash this seasonNot sure i agree with the last bit, i think his finishing is generally poor. The amount of times he finds himself in good positions only to lash the ball at the back of the stand is quite infuriating.
Different really. Both work their arses off. Alvarez is naturally a better finisher despite his finishing falling off a cliff somewhat towards the end of the season. Jesus is stronger and has a much better touch. Both very good back up strikers for a team at the very top. Both lack qualities to make them elite like an Aguero, Kane or Haaland.I just think Julian is better than Gabriel. Gabriel was a great player for us, but Julian is one level above, though. Just my opinion. No comparison as in I think Julian is way better, but obviously they can be compared in terms of style of play.
