It’s not that outrageous when we are prepared to accept the money spread over a number of years.

Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico
- Thread starter It'sBlue93:20
- Start date
No need for that imo, Just get a Rodri backup and work with the attack as is. If Haalands not there we just switch to the false 9 system, more minutes for Bobb. The number 10 role simply did not suit JulianIf he goes we must replace with someone like Eze or Olmo
It is still a huge blow to lose an out and out striker like Alvarez. No matter how indifferent people feel, he was still putting up numbers. But down the line we knew we could only keep one of Erling or Julian and so it is what it is.
Makes no sense to me. We have Bobb and Foden as well as McAtee as the options for that number 10. Obviously Kev staying another year. Not something we need to address right away now that Savinho and Doku are there. Could finally see Grealish centrally too. I’d rather just get a Rodri backup which is of utmost importance and then go into the season.It’ll be Eze if Alvarez goes we wanted Eze last year but the price was too much. Eze can play across the front three and as a 10.
Release clause as well

Attacking midfielders/number 10's to go with our vast array of attacking midfielders already?
I think we'd need to find a solution as a back up striker. Not sure who, but perhaps a veteran who can step in but also not expect to be first choice.
KDB age and possibly last season who picks up knocks etc, Foden, Grealish and Doku can’t play every game and we have no idea how Savio will take to the league? Plus players might be drained still and not fully be at their best so losing another top international player and not replacing them would be silly. Only Bernardo seems able just to keep playing? If Haaland is out then we can false nine?
Yes, I think Foden or KdB is fine like this.Haaland alternative = false nine.
Still think we should buy a tall striker alternative like we had with Dzeko.

I do wonder if that’s why no one else has triggered it? I’m sure I seen Darren Lewis reporting that Eze would prefer to move to us if possible
