There is that, always seems extra spicy when playing them.

Alvarez may be on loan at RP next season.
if that’s not the case a loan to Sunderland for a season if they come would be ideal.

He'll prob be given a high end loan next season if the injury is ok from here till the end of the season. Clubs have asked this window already.Probably the biggest lose from the Julian Alvarez deal. He's got until July to make an impression on the first team or he's going to see all his opportunities gone.

Not if it's only Alvarez we get in, rotation and even playing together could be an option. Of course if it's Haaland AND Alvarez then yeah, he's stuffed here.Probably the biggest lose from the Julian Alvarez deal.

Unless Alvarez is seen as an option to replace one of (Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez) whose contracts are running down in 1.5 years.Not if it's only Alvarez we get in, rotation and even playing together could be an option. Of course if it's Haaland AND Alvarez then yeah, he's stuffed here.

Said a while back that the timing of his injuries have possibly ruined his chances at City. Just imagine if he had been fit during preseason? Probably would have scored a few, started the community shield game. Been on the bench every other week like the likes of Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand, Mcatee etc have been. No doubt would have been used here and there compared to some of them given his physicality, Pep's familiarity of him from last year and the fact that he would have brought something different.
Feel like he's lost an entire year of his career, and perhaps his chance at a career at City now given we'll likely sign another striker too to go along with Alvarez. Fingers crossed im wrong, but it just feels that it's all gone wrong for him when he really didn't need it to. Maybe a great loan next season that sees him bang 25 goals in somewhere (maybe the Championship) sees him get a chance if someone like Jesus finally leaves or sumat. Obviously though, if Alvarez hits it off and the other striker that comes in does too, then no chance really.

Surely a loan deal is the club basically saying, you're not good enough for us at the moment and you have no chance of getting decent first team playing time...so off you go to a fairly decent club so we can increase your value, and then sell you?

They are all different, hes very young luckily so lots of time on his side. Kane didnt break into the Spurs first team squad regularly till after 4 loans and was 21. Alvarez can play all accross the front 3, i dont think anyone expects Haaland (if its him) to be here longer than the one contract, all if/ands/buts right now.Surely a loan deal is the club basically saying, you're not good enough for us at the moment and you have no chance of getting decent first team playing time...so off you go to a fairly decent club so we can increase your value, and then sell you?
