It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[FantasyIreland]

9/10 imo - I'd have loved Jesus to have stayed or signing an extra striker

Shame,i agree,but Alvarez fills that void.

Shame,i agree,but Alvarez fills that void.

And looks as if he may be a better option. I’m really impressed with him, so far.

As a winger imo for his work rate, his unselfishness and dribbling ability.

Ben Knight presumably

If you are including Alvarez, then you are onvluding Torres and the +55m as well.

 

[Keeper!]

9.5, would have liked a cm player but that would be a luxury.

Incredible work by Txiki and Co.

Some of the monies received is simply incredible business.

Heard something interesting that I'll share with you all. I have a buddy who's a South American scout for an MLS club. He heard a couple of things that are City related.

1) Good news: CFG scouts have been heavily scouting Alan Varela. He is a 6 but can operate as an 8. Probably the best player in Argentina now that Alvarez is gone. He's seen the same scout at the Boca games that were previously scouting Alvarez and Fernandez at River Plate.

2) Real Madrid scouts have been speaking to River Plate personnel, recently, about Julian Alvarez. The word is they are doing background type checks. He speculated they might view Alvarez as an eventual Benzema replacement.

Just want to say, I'm not an ITK and I don't claim to be one. However, I have many friends that are employed in the world of football.

It would seem that Real Madrid missed the boat. You snooze you lose.
