It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Alvarez isn't an upgrade on Jesus, imo. At least not yet.

Haaland is the Jesus replacement, for me. Alvarez replaces Torres.

Jesus -> Haaland
Torres -> Alvarez
Fernandinho -> Phillips
Mendy -> Cucurella
Steffen -> Ortega
Sterling -> Palmer? Someone new?

The last one is the only one to be concerned about, in my eyes. All the rest are either clear improvements or good business even if not a direct upgrade in quality. We'll see about the Ake and Bernardo stuff as time goes on.

I agree on the whole we got better. Certainly if we can get Cucurella over the line.

Think it’s relevant to compare them anyway. Both south americans with flair and technical skills. Jesus is a great player but Alvarez looks special, a rare talent.

If Pep didn’t think Alvarez would be an upgrade, I think he would have kept Jesus and just ignored Julian.

Haaland for me replaced Agüero even though it took a while. Jesus was never our first choice striker like Haaland will be. He played on the wings for most of last season and Alvarez will be there too.
