Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Coatigan]

This is one very long "talk" he's having with Atleti. I mean at this point, all pleasantries should have been exchanged and the well-being of the family established (parents alive, fathers great grand brother's wife passed on etc). Let's talk money people, keep it moving, the windows closing with each passing day.

Relax. They are waiting for his Italian passport to arrive.

Apparently Monday he will sign a 5 year contract at Athletico.

The scenes, when he starts the community shield match!

I think Palmer was already linked with a move and still played in the game against Sevilla, The same could happen with Alvarez, one last trophy before moving on.

Edit: There's some compulsory rest clause so he wouldn't be playing tomorrow

Are they actually going to pay us or do a Barca and send us 20 whenever they can?

Perhaps a bit but still dodgy imo.

Bit gutted about this. Had a few match highlights on from last season. Alvarez scored some decent goals for us.

Nice to see my grandma’s clogs found a new home.
