I was going to ask the same thing mate.
Gets a bit boring hearing about all these bright new things who end up on loan abroad and never heard from again
 
Funny how every fan, chief executive, mouthpiece, owner and their dog, on this case the owner of fiorentina, have an opinion on us and our practices.

Meanwhile we don't talk about other clubs and just keep winning trophies. Gosh, could be a lesson there .

That's what I don't understand, how the fuck do Fiorentina know we've signed Alvarez when nothing has been announced from our side yet. I wonder if they were looking to sign him to replace Vlahovic?

I imagine they enquired and his agent told them he's already agreed with city or only wants city. The Kun factor!

I tend to assume the latter at least, as otherwise United would be briefing the media en masse about beating city to the next big South America wonderkid, which is their usual MO with their usual media brownnoses.

Most City fans seem convinced that this one is different and this guy we only heard of a week ago is going to be the next big thing. I'm much more cynical.

For me, whenever we see the words "he's signed and will be immediately loaned out" it kills any excitement I had for the transfer. Only Zinchenko has actually done that in the last ten years and made it in the first team and that was sheer tenacity. Otherwise I have to assume we're only interested in the profit.

We never thought we’d need you half as much as we do
And we never thought you’d score the goals for the blues that you do
As soon as we wake up
to get the coach, get the train
We know that it’s you we need when we watch the blues away
Julian Alvarez
Nothing more, nothing less, he is the best

Good luck getting some of our fans to remember anything more complicated than "Julian, Julian" to the tune of "Sergio, Sergio"

We have no chance to sign Vlahovic tbh, if he had choice between Juve and City. He still choose Juve over City. Really strange i know but that's Italian based player will prefer do.

No that it matters now, but i think that's wrong. If Vlahovic was our number one choice like Kane and Haaland seem to be, he'd be a City player right now.

If only Juve is not interested on him then yeah we have a chance but if not then it will be difficult. Juve is always be a dream move to him, he will always prefer move to Juve no matter how much we offered to him.

I’ve seen enough to know that he will suit our style of play but could benefit from a little more time playing centrally. He’s not long moved in off the wing. At present, we’re simply not in the luxury of being able to accommodate anyone in the middle who is still learning their craft. Torres showed glimpses but was slight, inconsistent, and probably homesick, and while Delap has the physique to excel in the middle, he needs game time and another season to develop physically. I think therefore that it’s an astute move.

After all, we’ve spent over a year honing our system, so his arrival now would not be the difference between us winning the title or the Champions League. Far better to secure his services now and then use them when we can best benefit.
