Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Gorbachev]

What happens if Haaland gets injured

False 9.

Pep has proven numerous times you don't need a top striker to be successful under his tenureship. We arguably play better football in the big games with a false 9.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

What worries the most is we are losing goal scoring players and so far, we have not replaced Gundo and Mahrez goals and assists. KdB and Alvarez being potential departures, that would be 4 goal scorers lost in 2 seasons!
Whoever replaces them, need to be high G/A players and those aren't cheap!

we scored more goals this season on the PL and 2 shy overall than last they have been replaced in Foden and Alvarez already in pure numbers.

 

[RayCTID]

Being offside being the biggest one.

Although not outstanding Jesus has the better heading ability.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Although not outstanding Jesus has the better heading ability.

Has Alvarez attempted a header with us? We don’t tend to cross the ball when he’s playing.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

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.

 

[CC1]

Come on, we all do it.

But much shouting it from the rooftops though

 

[CC1]

Of course we do.
Even haaland was mentioned on here as having agreed a deal months before it was announced.

There are very few occasions when a player turns down a move after a fee has been agreed. That's because the club has already spoken with the player in advance to check he fancies it.

But we haven’t agreed to sell him, never mind a fee. They are tapping him up before getting any sort of agreement from us

Yes that is true, But I can imagine how much more we would have scored, if we had goal scorers on both flanks and multiple from the center of the pitch. I believe it would increased our chances favourably, in us winning the FA cup and the UCL cup!

caught a bit of tv in the bar last night, there were questions over Julian staying at City, no mention of where he would go though.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't be arsed either way

Neither would I.

He’s a good player and a hard worker with a cracking attitude but he’s replaceable.

 

[Haaland94]

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.

Exactly. Alvarez > Jesus. No comparison.

 

[richards30]

Neither would I.

He’s a good player and a hard worker with a cracking attitude but he’s replaceable.

With who though mate? Simons? Eze? Paqueta was meant to add to the creative side of the squad but obviously that’s a no go now

 

[Stoned Rose]

Anyone take Gallagher in part ex from chelsea?
I'm not a fan but it's one I could see happening.

Cracking grafter, very very fit and high levels of cuntishness.

Not sure he’s a pep type though.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Bobb.

 

[Haaland94]

Bobb.

Honestly, I would sign Bruno G/Neves and wait to see what Pep does. Give the likes of Bobb a chance in the meantime.

 

[Stoned Rose]

What about if it was to swap him for a hotel?

 

[Antwerp City]

Exactly. Alvarez > Jesus. No comparison.

Isn’t that exactly a comparison?

 

[Haaland94]

Isn’t that exactly a comparison?

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.

 

[TFC]

Why the fuck would we sell?

 

[bondsman]

Why the fuck would we sell?

Exactly 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
