Anyone know why we didn't go in for him? Seems strange

Probably because he had his heart set on Juventus since last summer. Thus was clained then, and thereafter his agent said they had a deal in place that still stood when Fiorentina would decide to sell.

I think the club is basically going all in on Håland/Kane, and if they cant get either they decided to take a chance on that Alvarez could to the same job as Vlahovic for a quarter of the price.

Like I wrote about a month ago in this thread, Vlahovic is currently ticking every unsustainable box on the planet in how many goals he scores as a result from his performances. Loads of pens boosting his goal tally, combined with a huge over performance in expected goals this season which means he has either become the most lethal striker of all time this season, or more likely are just having a good spell when just about everything goes in. At the end of December he had scored 16 goals this season from a non-penalty xG of just 5.71. Sure he doesnt play for the best team in the league, but they are still a top7 side. In a league far worst than PL, like Lukaku is the most recent example of. Too soon to tell if he will become a new Ibrahimovic or a new Belotti.

I think he without a doubt is a good prospect, who could become great. But I doubt he would come in and immediately be a better option as striker than Foden. And it seems like Txiki agrees.
