Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[RayCTID]

That link has been denied many times, even by credible sources

Still a possibilty with Alvarez leaving. It won't be Musiala or Yamal. More than likely it is someone who we had little links with.

Sign a midfielder? We might go back to the false 9

I'd rather just keep Alvarez, but yeah, I can see the false 9 coming back.

I did love our football that year when Foden was in that role.

And how are Madrid going to pay us for Alvarez?

A swap for Felix?

 

[RayCTID]

I'd rather swap for a tin of cat food.

Nah not a good deal imo mate, confidence shot for Felix

 

[richards30]

No chance. Musiala isn't a striker, anyway. He plays a similar role to Foden's in a sort of 'shadow striker' role. I would love him here, though.

Could do the role in a false nine type of way though mate?

Yeah he hasn't really improved, but i always thought he could thrive under Pep.

Just looked it up we played a double false 9, Peps brilliant mind, Kev and Phil were two false 9s.
4-4-2 we played with Kev and Phil as two false 9s with Gundo and Rodri behind.

We are going to want a pretty penny for him and I don't see them having the money we'd want. There isn't any players that we would want in a swap either.

I'd take a punt on him, tbh, but his wages are ridiculous, and he seems like the type of person who would cry every day about the weather, etc. But I thought he was the only threatening player in Portugal's game versus Georgia in the Euro's. There's definitely a lot of talent there, but that's obviously just part of it.
