About 106 games in 2 seasons and 36 goals, So if you break that down it's like 50-odd games a season and 18 goals
Alvarez got game time at City, if you think about it a young lad without experience in European football and Premier League football, So 100-odd games in 2 seasons is plenty of game time.
City giving him a better pay rise early this year in a new contract sort of stinks of being tapped up, rumours are they offered him double what he was on at City.
The lack of game time myth is the easy way out and it sort gives Pep a slap in the face to say you never played me
Pretty sure that Pep has seen these situations with players before and won't be losing too much sleep over the transfer.
There were times when Alvarez was played out of position and looked lost and ungainly, although he always tried his best imo , so no doubt whatever plans the club has, they will try to find a solution which suits the team best.
Could be an interesting end to the end of the window or the opportunity for somebody already at the club to step up.
