Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Skrastins]

Done

All the best for him.

 

[oldius]

95m smells fine.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Fabulous player but I’ve said it all along, square peg in a round hole, doesn’t suit our style whatsoever.

Insane we have done it again. Jesus, Torres, Alvarez. Echevarri and Savinho next in line.

 

[Coatigan]

Haven’t been monitoring, is this now confirmed?

No.

(But won't be long)

 

[SWPISHOME]

It was done like 24 hours ago. Romano just made up am hour's worth of bullshit do he could belatedly shout 'here we go'.

He's a fucking bellend.

I hate him and other "football fans" saying we have a "HERE WE GO", Fucking bellends.

 

[ancoats]

Not a chance out squad stays the same imo.

We need more quality in-depth and a couple of new faces, I think we are ok for Alvarez's cover so the money can go on a holding centre midfield and maybe a full back

 

[Sibierskii]

Right, thats that out the way then.

Hello, Jamal? how are ya

 

[meeesh]

He's a fucking bellend.

We used to sing that when we scored.......................about 30 years ago

 

[Asa's left peg]

I wish I had taken football a lot more serious when I was younger. £5m for running around like a headless chicken and fouling defenders? I can see myself doing that

You were wasted

I thought that song would make a comeback appearance under Stuart Pearce!

Doesn't sound like they were offering Alvarez a massive salary increase if that's what was holding the official announcement up. Be interesting to compare his new salary with Gallagher's.

Them days were more like off we go (fucking home) when that **** was in charge

Haha true!

Gallagher comes across as the kind of bloke who doesn't want to move to Spain "because they talk funny and the food is shit."

 

[Coatigan]

Great business from City.

My prediction is, we will now stick what what we have in the squad.

I can't see any more signings coming in the door this summer.

Alvarez leaving, on its own might not be enough to sign a replacement or add anyone.

But combined with Phillips and Cancelo also leaving, which everyone expects, that's then 3 squad places available.

Can't see us going into a season not filling at least one more of those, or going into a season with just 18 senior players.

He was adored at Palace, and would have been their main man if he had gone to them after that loan.

I think we might. Not sure but the rise of Lewis, Bobb and maybe the integration on McTee? I think we are in a good position even when he goes I might be wrong but it will be interesting.

 

[Coatigan]

Nice of Fabsey to quote our buying price in £ and iur selling price in €. 14 to 95.

This must be what it feels like to be Liverpool!

Can easy see Pep running with 18 and the kids, keeping the squad at 23. Seems pretty standard for him,

When he goes, I agree. When the other two go, can't see us not adding more.
