I'm just seeing that now. Hmm. That does make things interesting.The Girona striker looks like he is going to Roma not Atletico.
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.

this is decent considering how much he's moved about and been dropped in and out so far tbh.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 :)
but the minutes!
For me, he falls between two stools a bit.Some people are putting down Alvarez as a striker and he is not, But for me, he's best in a false 9
Pep needs to find him a place in the team with a system with Haaland
It’s not as simple and clear cut, I agree, but I just think Sterling was better at what he did and he was in our best XI for much of his time here, whereas I don’t think Alvarez is to be totally honest.Perhaps, but it's a bit more complex these days surely? Wingers are some of the highest scoring players at plenty of big clubs, and even when Alvarez plays as the main centre forward at City (which he's done in less than half his matches), he's not playing a traditional role where he gets to hog the majority of chances.
Scaoni and Gallardo must be incredible because they make him look even betterBe 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
Though I have high hopes for Savinho and Echeverri, they are not proven at PL level, Julian is.With Bobb, Savinho & Echeverri, I don't mind selling him if the right offer came.
Yes just seen it he looks fuming with himJust watched Pep’s press conference and wow is he pissed off with Alvarez. He seems done with him. We can forget about Julian having a future here.
Yep.No way back for him now.Might as well cash in on him quick and get the replacement sorted.Just watched Pep’s press conference and wow is he pissed off with Alvarez. He seems done with him. We can forget about Julian having a future here.
Should be getting £80m+ for him, but there’s no way Atletico will be able to pay that. Most clubs in Europe seem skintI imagine Guardiola’s pissed off because he went out of his way to give him minutes, often to the detriment of the team, by playing him almost as an 8 last season.
It’s a shame if this is how it ends, but a parting of the ways is looking pretty likely at the moment.
