Alvarez replacement thread

[Cobwebcat]

I've got a feeling it'll be Foden mainly as the false 9. He's probably the best finisher at the club after Haaland, and will be a real threat in a free role up front.

It’s almost certain and we will be fine. Even a back up to Haaland isn’t easy to find with no guarantee they will be anywhere near good enough.

We make a mistake and it’s another wage wasted which has PSR implications.

The club has to find a back-up striker or forward in January. Liverpool has signed Chiesa for peanuts and no problem. I guess Nunes is blocking room for another player.

He is not. We have two free spaces with him here.

Alvarez is overrated. Decent striker without top quality in:
dribbling, pace or finishing.
I am glad we sold him for that price.

Suits a team that hit on the break and that isn't City. Was a poor man's Leroy and agreed was good to cash in.

There's a reason Chiesa cost peanuts...

Injury prone it seems

Foden is one of the best false 9s in the world and its his best position by a mile. Its where he should be every week.

It’s a strange one for sure. You do wonder…

Very big mistake maybe?
Or even ludicrous!?
At - ludicrous speed...??

I trust Gundogan in & around the box

Every week whilst we leave out Haaland, the best centre forward in the world?

People seem to be forgetting Nunes playing splendidly up front against Urawa Reds…

Should fit like a hand in a glove with those cunts.

Have we? I felt we didn’t have enough up front in between Aguero and Haaland but I’m not concerned so far this season.

No point signing desperately as we’ve done that before.

 

[footballmanager]

I trust Gundogan in & around the box

or foden, with kdb and bernardo as options too. also bobb when he comes back...no worries

 

[madloaf]

Is an Alvarez replacement similar to a rail replacement..in that it would be worse and slower?

Everyone does.
He is the ultimate box crasher, back post stalker. Brilliant head on his shoulder!
