[richards30]

El Atlético ejecuta la ampliación de capital

Atlético Holdco y Quantum Pacific, accionistas mayoritarios del Atlético, aportan 49,8 y 19,7 millones de euros en la ampliación de capital.

€70 million Capital increase for Transfers.

Sounds like they are gearing up for the offer then , €70m may even be enough?

Alvarez ain’t stupid - he is only saying these comments because he knows a club is about to come in for him….

Adios Alvarez

We should have said no to the Olympics.

Wanted the minutes.

 

[Coatigan]

He's going, he clearly wants out and he will get his wish.

His true colours have come out, no way back for him, I am very surprised and dissapointed , top player for me, but wow what a strange decision to make and way to treat a club that has done so much for him, supported him in every possible way, allowing him to stay in Argentina and play in the copa liberoes', then bring him to England with his family.

Because he said he wants to contribute more, and will assess his place after a current competition?

 

[Gibblue]

Doesn't particularly fit our formation so I'm not too fussed if he goes. Think there are teams out there that will suit him better and we can look to fund a proper back up number 9, or a more technical number 10 / attacking mid

Sounds like he wants to go, but he only leaves if a club meets our asking price.

Some take this stuff way to serious. Hyperbole Machine is on overdrive.

If Atletico meet our demands he is off.

Same with Ederson. He is staying unless they match our valuation.

Be interesting to see who
Personally I don’t see a £60m player at all

With haaland fit at best he is a sub
Would much prefer eze, olmo etc

He is just another sterling, Jesus, zinchenko
Thinks he is more important than he is
Pep makes these players look a lot better than some actually are

I really hope we sign someone to come in if Alvarez leaves and we don’t sell him to anyone in the Premier League. Would think Olmo would be the better choice?

Personally I think Sterling was a far better player for us than Alvarez.

131 goals in 339 appearances. No mean feat that.

Sterling was a nailed on regular starter.

 

[clarion]

Alvarez can only be compared with Jesus.
Sterling was on another level for us.

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

Sterling was a nailed on regular starter.

True, until about two seasons before he left.

Sterling's stock had dropped off quite a bit - from very strong heights, it’s true - long before he got sold.

Alvarez’s has risen, and in a pretty short space of time. Sterling did more, but had longer to do it. Don’t want him to go, and I’ll only believe it when I see it, but Alvarez has only done 2 seasons, and the 1st was as a Premier League rookie. Raheem came practically oven-ready. Not a fair comparison.

Wouldn't Alvarez match that at his current rate if he also stayed 7 seasons?

He's got 36 goals in 2 seasons and 6007 minutes of football. (18 a season, and a goal every 167 mins).

Sterling got 131 in 7 seasons and 25087 minutes of football. (19 a season, and a goal every 191 mins).

I loved Sterling too :)

That was kind of my point, Sterling had continuity and played regularly. Alvarez has been on and off and for a forward their output suffers without consistency.

Why compare him, judge him on what he does for City.A lot, if we sell him we need a fair price, a price I doubt anyone can pay. If he goes though he’ll become a great player somewhere else.
I think we need to keep him a least until we know Haalands future one way or another.

Alvarez might match Sterling’s figures if he stayed for seven seasons, but I think it’s highly unlikely he’d get that number of goals playing on the wing.
