if there is no one else coming in for the front line, then Grealish, Haaland, Alvarez need to put in incredible numbers imo.
we cant afford 12 month bedding in period for Alvarez, Haaland while Grealish needs to put in higher number of goals/assists than whatever his best was at Villa.
Alvarez is still a question mark, I have no clue how his performance in Argentina will relate to the style we play, the opponents we have and the general strength of PL football. he might click straightaway and hits the ground running, I can see that as well, but I also can see him being out of his depth and will need that first years just to get the hang of playing/living in UK.
Kun aint a good comparison as Kun had some real serious experience coming from Atletico which cannot be compared to River Plate at this point.
Alvarez not having any break whatsoever is a bit worry for a long season ahead bit strange we agreed to River Plate using him until the very last second.
We dont even know if Pep is panning to use him and Haaland at the same time or most of Alvarez's playing time will come in the cups and whenever Haaland is injured or maybe Alvarez is intelligent enough to play across the front line and can put in a great shift from the right.
Even if he is a complete flop (hopefully not) we still can move him on for about the price we paid for him, so its a great transfer either way probably but surely there is some good potential in there.
