Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[decmancity]

What a deal.

Not a chance anyone at City is stupid enough to accept Felix as part of the deal.

I had a niggling feeling he'd been asking to go ever since Pep was shoehorning him into the team about others who are more capable. Foden was shoved to the wing for months while Alvarez struggled to offer anything centrally.

It struck me as he'd been 'told' to play him (I know, Pep doesn't bow down etc etc) in the sense that Alvarez had already knocked on his door questioning playing time.

Just never felt like a player who'd be here long, for some reason.

If it is £70m then good deal but only if spent wisely

No point bagging the money and getting someone in who is not as good as Alvarez at least in

Am assuming his previous club in Argentina would have negotiated a sell on clause at the time of his transfer to us

anyone know?

Think leaving him there on loan replaced a sell-on, but don't remember where it ended now.

Really...?

Of anything to criticize Julian for, not having a nasty streak/fighting for everything is the last thing I'd slate him for. I want him to stay, but he's exactly the kind of player I would think of that embodies a 'Simeone player.'

I was thinking more spitting hair pulling etc after the battles we've had with them over the years.
I'll catch you as you jump down from your high horse if you like.
Absolutely no slating of the kid of what he gave us, so chill

10m on Chris Wood and we’ve made 60m big ones

 

[kaz7]

He deserves more respect than he is getting

That fella up front for Luton even better

Poor guy, never even won the Carabao Cup!
