It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

100 mil. No less.

We might not see Alvarez until October. He’s at the Olympics in August and Pep will send him on holiday after that as he’s not had a break in about 3 years.

Yet everyone says he doesn't get enough minutes so should be fresh as a daisy

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Yawn!

You do know we are not selling Alvarez don’t you?

Let’s envisage a scenario where in 12 months time Madrid offer City the buy out clause that Haaland has. Haaland wants a new project which he and his agents have said he wants to play in different countries and accepts to go to Madrid. Who do we turn to, not Alvarez because the fans have hounded him out for f*****g Calvert Lewin!

No offence to Calvert Lewin but he ain’t as good as Alvarez. In fact none of the suggested players are better than Alvarez.

If you want Xavi Simons who I agree is a good player we don’t need to sell Alvarez to make it happen.

Not having a pop at you personally @skratins just bored hearing posters who want to sell Alvarez.

Spot on my man. Must say though that you rate Calvert-Lewin higher than I do, he's not as good as Rasmus Birtles or Darwin Nunez.

Do they? He was the most used outfield player last season, wasn’t he?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Yes, I'm getting at all those who say he wants to go to get more minutes

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yes, I'm getting at all those who say he wants to go to get more minutes

More minutes as a striker maybe.

No one else slightly concerned that some key players want out all of a sudden?

No it’s the end of a cycle.

Is it minutes he is not getting enough of, the fact that his touch is not as good we had with Mahrez or the fact he doesn’t score as many as Haaland that fans determine Alvarez can’t be good enough?

Shame on him for that! All the goals scored and assists Julian made and medals he has earned at such a young age would make him a legend 10 years ago at City but as fans we have become so spoilt, that for some fans that is not enough.

100 mil. No less.

Especially given how dry the striker market is in Europe right now. That goon Rasmus Hojlund went for £64m+ £8m in add-ons when he only scored 9 goals for Atalanta. Richarlison the Brazilian bum went for £60m in 2022. Havertz was subpar at Chelsea but costed the Gooners £65m.

It should be a minimum £90m offer just to get City to pick up the phone. Anything less and we laugh and hang up. There's no need to sell Alvarez this summer when Haaland hasn't signed an extension yet. Alvarez is the insurance policy to ensure we don't get bent if Haaland wants out in the next couple years.

All good. I also don't want to sell him.

I'm just throwing names if that comes to it.
