Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Kamaro011]

You’d think the way we operate we’ll have a sell on clause inserted I’d be surprised we didn’t..

There will be no sell on clause.

A week before the season? Our hand clearly forced by player and buying club - difficult - but we should foresee this and plan accordingly or head it off at the pass. For a club of our supposed stature and success, we don't half look unprepared at times. That said, the club have been out maneuvered, easily done at the price offered I suppose, but the money is a consolation, granted. Just disappointed Mate. No news or deflating news after deflating news recently.

I don’t think I could possibly feel anymore the opposite of this.

Must be lovely.

Micah Hamilton is practically gone to Middlesbrough

Basically a loan with the £11m buyback below we can only have a couple of them.

Some people are glass half full, some are glass half empty and some people have pushed the glass on the floor and are cutting their wrists with the shards.

I think this makes sense for the player and the club, but we need to re-invest some of the money for a decent understudy to Rodri. i think with Foden, Bobb and others we can probably manage without a direct replacement for Alvarez.

We have taken Atletico to cleaners. Just like we did with Barcelona for Ferran Torres.

Shame the cunts are paying with Klarna

Catch a few with that.

Unless you are actually serious, if so, wow.

It’s great. Every time I saw Alvarez on the team sheet last season (alongside Haaland) I just knew our attack was going to be stunted. He was a good back up to Haaland but a terrible ten. But Pep always wanted him to have his game time.

I’m excited to be honest mate.

 

[David Silva]

Good luck to him.

I think he’s underrated by a few commenters here. Alvarez would start ahead of most PL strikers so I can see why he’d be up for the move, especially to Spain & to Simeone. We got a great fee so can’t complain.
