Not one person has been dismissive of Alvarez’s abilities, what’s been said is he isn’t displacing Haaland so Alvarez’s best abilities aren’t suited to getting into out first 11. That much is obvious. Also obvious is players like Bobb, Savio, maybe even McAtee their best positions are better suited to were there may be opportunities to play games and they won’t expect to be certain starters.I'm only questioning the attitude many are having of being dismissive of Alvarez's abilities. He's been one of our best players and will be missed. Bobb might end up being amazing and we forget all about Julian. But history tells us this rarely happens. I'm pulling for Bobb and think he's an exciting player. But he's not in Julian's class...yet...
That’s not saying those players are better or worse, just different players at different stages of development ,probably where Alvarez was 2 seasons ago.
