Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[SWPISHOME]

We already have Savio and Echeveria in the bag. There many more where they came from. With Alvarez it just feels like he has stalled and he doesn't really have a part of his game that stands out. Jesus had aggression and pace, with Alvarez its like a player with no pace just running around to make up the numbers in his post match heatmap analysis or something.

Average control, no passing range, no pace, a lack of killer instinct in front of goal, poor ball protection, I think he’s only strong point is his off the ball work but what's the point of that when you lack the pace, power or aggression to put the defender with the ball under pressure?

Each to their own but that's incredibly harsh in my opinion.

If he lacked all of the above mentioned he would be nowhere near this City team, He's played more minutes than any other player last season.

He started and came off the bench for Argentina World Cup campaign getting in ahead of Lautaro Martinez alot amongst other big names.

He plays for City and Argentina because he's a seriously good player. Let's be honest he starts for basically every other Premier League team other than City because we've Haaland up top.

No pace
No killer instinct
Average control
No passing range

Seems like you are describing Akinfenwa or some other lower league striker in that post. The lad is a World Cup winner, Treble Winner, Copa America Winner ect he's played his part in all the above.

Sell him, and stick in a bid for Rashford. He'll be available for next to nowt, with him not making the waistcoat's squad for the Euros.

To be fair, he's our second or third best freekick taker behind Kdb. Depending on how you see it, he is either in front of or behind Phil in terms of taking set pieces

He would thrive in the Serie A but I don't see any Serie A team coming up with anything more than 50m for him.

Wow, you will struggle to find a post further from reality than this.

Would love Rashford instead of Julien for example. Never going to happen but there are better fit forwards out there that can play wider too

 

[super_city_si]

i'd be livid if its Arsenal.

I dont think theres any way we would entertain selling him to them

 

[Semper aggressus]

Wouldn’t want him to go to a rival in our league.

Also wouldn’t want him sold abroad unless we can get in a replacement that is almost certain to score more goals. If we can’t improve on him then don’t sell him, we’re already far too reliant on just Haaland and Foden for goals.

We can’t afford to lose a goalscorer unless someone better is lined up. No idea who that would be who’d be good enough that’s willing to be second fiddle to Haaland though. So probably best off keeping Alvarez.

Rashford? You must be taking the piss, right?

 

[kaz7]
