Alvarez replacement thread

Gonna be no one it seems. Mistake as Haaland needs cover and defaulting to a false 9 is not out of choice but more so out of necessity in the absence of a true back up.

Yes, Arsenal won 2 nil. You can find match results on the PL website for future reference; you don't need to be asking silly questions here!!

He created two tap-ins that Watkins missed, would've gave Villa the lead twice. Gave the Arsenal defense the run around a couple times. Sounds like you didn't watch the match, or the pre-season, or Rogers ever?

Generally this means you can avoid commenting..

How much would he cost though? (Hang on I better do my research first before asking for fear of being publicly chastised).

Why does it seem that? I believe we need a second 9 and I also believe we will get one...it's possible we're waiting for Cancelo to be official and if Nunes were to go it may be someone higher up on the talent/price food chain.
Come Friday at the close of the window if we haven't addressed this I will be disappointed too. I'm not a fan of this false 9 plan as a back up to a true 9. If you're going with a false 9 system then fair play. We won the Prem that way. But we don't play that way anymore. Our not having a second 9 would be ridiculous. Bobb, Savinho, Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Grealish, Doku, Nunes, Gundogan and McAtee are not 9s, simple as...Alvarez may have struggled some as a 10, out wide, or as an 8 but let no one be mistaken. As a pure 9 he is levels above everyone I just mentioned...

Alvarez was not a 10 much less did he struggle as one. I'd've preferred he stayed as a 9 vs what we have at present. Im not bought in to the fallacy of playing a false nine. .. some appear to be but they avoid admitting it'd be played as the only option in absence of a back up.

And it's gonna coat us 20+million reasons to get someone else in! Would have loved to see him get some proper game time with us.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I think Pep didn’t see him as a player, he’s a big unit who is not pressing material, and not particularly fast.
