It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

Based on what?

I am friends with a fan of his formative club here in Brazil, based on the state that he visits a lot with the family, and that fan says he talks about it in the visits. I don’t think a year playing in Brazil means he has to give up having a life in England like some do. But I’m not guessing either way

“Come and get me”. Wonder if he’s feeling the pressure from the Rice to Chelsea possibility.

If he can't fight off Rice then I'm not sure we should go near him

Hasn't his boat sailed after his signing for Chelsea fiasco ?

Apart from penalties surely we have players who can do the job without him.

“While Alvarez has the opportunity to show that he can be a part of the set-up at the Etihad next season, City still intend to sign a striker to belatedly replace Aguero after failing to do so last summer when they went after Harry Kane following Dortmund's clear stance that Haaland was not for sale.”

Man City set on signing striker in summer as Julian Alvarez impresses

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola likened Julian Alvarez to Jamie Vardy but the club will still try to sign a striker in summer

This just implies yet again that the club would have gone after Haaland and not Kane last summer if not for Dortmund

"The club gave me players and I'm always delighted - and it's then what we can do together. Maybe if we had a proper striker we would play with a striker but with the players we have we have to adapt." Pep (on not signing Kane in the summer).

The false 9 won't always be the way forward, it is the preference now because of the team we have.

Are you seriously analysing newspaper speculation for insight?

Yet if it proves effective in terms of winning the two main prizes, then what’s to say he won’t persist with it and buy other players whom he can mould more effectively?

Without the ability of securing Kane, and also with Torres and Delap being injured for virtually all of the season, we were forced down this reoad.
