Alvarez replacement thread

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

completely agree. £82m was astonishing business. He's a good player, but nothing stands out in terms of his attributes.

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.

There's a reason Chiesa cost peanuts...

Obviously Pep and Txiki know best, but it certainly feels like a risk going into the season with only one centre-forward. Be interesting to see what the contingency plan is when Haaland is rested or isn't available.

Can only be that we are happy to go false 9 with all the midfield options we’ve got. Seems a strange strategy though, has to be said.

Exactly, and it's pretty obvious that Erling won't be playing every game this season, so who will play the false nine, might be Gundo?

Surprised we didn't go for Felix has a makeweight in the deal, would have suited us.

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.

If City would have offers for Nunes, then striker would have come. There is no offers, so we have to wait at least till January. For me, it’s a little bit complacent.

Don’t see why it has any relevance to Nunes? We have space in the squad.
