Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[failsworthblueboy]

Gutted but as Peter Reid would say "that's football" I wish him well if it goes through, we must have a big signing lined up or dare I say we will play Super Jack in a more central role.

I hope it does not come to bite us on the bum, Yes we are getting good money and made a very good profit that will go back into the squad when Pep signs a replacement, But Alvarez is world-class and will score goals in any team.

I always trust Pep and he will use this as a motivation toward young players like Bobb and say go and show what you got, Maybe it's the right way to trust the academy players coming through, Like Spain in the euros, not many big names and a young squad and they won the tournament,

Why have I got a feeling we won't replace him and go into season as it is?

Because that's what the club do.

We have a habit of letting players leave too late to replace then scramble for a replacement in January.

Wish him all the very best. Brilliant player and in 'typical city's fashion can see this biting us on the arse in latter stages of CL at some point :-(

Sad to see him go good fee not great fee, over 100m would be great, he never seemed like he enjoyed playing for us although he did come across as very shy, I wish him well.

Yeah, what a shambles of a club we are.

Its not £81 mill until we know what adds on are. La liga win? Unlikely. CL win? Unlikely. Balon D,or? Unlikely

Could also be games played, goals scored to spread the cost. I think if the add ons were that unlikely we’d see something more favourable towards us in terms of sell on buy back

Foden playing just behind Haaland with two wingers will do me nicely.

Akanji?
